1925810841925. Manuscript report on on the recto sides only of 15pp of lined notepaper to the secretaries of a combined mining venture based out of Number 8 Old Jewry London. A few small dogears and creases some age toning of the paper and the fact that it's written in pencil make it a little tricky to decipher at times although a partial transcript is included from a previous collector. A very good <br /> A hand-written preliminary report which nevertheless contains a wealth of logistical and local detail regarding the business of pitching camp supply lines sickness boring results and assay findings depths propected gravel assessments depth of survey records etc. Comments regarding the local labor supply place the whole exploit firmly into the realm of exploitation with phrasing like ".the riff-raff of coastal negroes who are unstable - lazy and contemptuous of authority." A fascinating and ephemeral piece of industrial colonial history. Wray himself seems to have been a widely traveled mining surveyor with some of his recorded work being not only across Africa but also the Koorboora mining region of Queensland Australia among others. unknown
