Dolcoath Mine Limited Registered Office, Camborne, Cornwall. Probably early 1900s
" Two miners outside the Dolcoath Registered Office". Although this is the title of the photograph, the subjects are either company officials or visitors as they do not have either candles or clay to hold the candle on their hats. The earliest records of this mine show that it was being worked for copper in 1740, and probably earlier. It was nearly 300ft deep in 1746 and an extensive mine in 1778, when a section of its eastern part was published in Pryces Mineralogis Cornubiensis. It closed ten years later, to reopen in 1799. In the next 120 years it became the largest and deepest mine in Cornwall, with its bottom level 3, 000ft below the surface. Its output of copper and tin ores to 1788 is thought to have been no less than 1, 2500, 000, pounds, of which copper alone realised some 450, 000 between 1740 and 1777. Between 1799 and 1920 its output amounted to over 9 million pounds, including income from sales of arsenic, silver and other minerals. The mine was in the dividend list for most of its working life, and shares, nicknamed Dollies, were the blue chip of the industry. Photographer: Probably John Charles Burrow.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph titled "Two miners outside the Dolcoath Registered Office" captures a moment in the early 1900s, showcasing two individuals who are either company officials or esteemed visitors. Interestingly, these subjects lack candles or clay to hold the candle on their hats, suggesting that they may not be actively engaged in mining operations. Dolcoath Mine Limited Registered Office, located in Camborne, Cornwall, has a rich history dating back to at least 1740 when it was first worked for copper. By 1778, it had become an extensive mine with its eastern section featured in Pryces Mineralogis Cornubiensis. Although it closed temporarily in 1788 and reopened in 1799, Dolcoath Mine eventually became the largest and deepest mine in Cornwall over the next century. With its bottom level reaching an astonishing depth of 3,000ft below the surface, Dolcoath Mine boasted impressive production numbers. From its inception until 1788 alone, it is estimated to have yielded no less than £1.25 million worth of copper and tin ores (with copper sales amounting to £450k between 1740 and 1777). Between 1799 and 1920, its output surpassed nine million pounds including income from various minerals such as arsenic and silver. Throughout its operational years, Dolcoath Mine consistently appeared on dividend lists with shares affectionately known as Dollies – considered blue-chip investments within the industry. This print provides a glimpse into both the grandeur and significance of this historic mining establishment captured by photographer John Charles Burrow during his visit to Royal Cornwall Museum.
