Michael Kiernan travels all over the world recording the headstones of the Cornish in far flung places. Places such as Mexico & Cuba places we often don't associate with Cornish mining.

This is an interesting site put together by John Higgins, a retired Cornish mining engineer now living in Brazil. In 1954 while a student at the Camborne School of Mines he was presented with an original mine Cost Book of Wheal Agar covering the period from October 1855 to November 1859.  Since retiring John has enjoyed making a study of the Cost Book and he wishes to share the wealth of information it contains. The aim of his web site is to provide a summary of activities at the mine during the years in question and to illustrate the rate of progress and costs of mining.
