""Always more production" tells the fascinating history of the mining of iron ore at Cornwall, Pennsylvania. Mining began here in 1737 and continued for the next 236 years when the last mine closed. The Cornwall mines were some of the longest continuously operated mines in the United States and the largest iron mines until their production was eclipsed by larger mines in Michigan and Minnesota. Early mining was performed by a few handfuls of miners working for individual families like the Grubbs and Colemans. By the Twentieth Century, hundreds of miners and millers produced ore in Cornwall for the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Over time, iron masters, companies, and corporations implored the miners to mine ever larger quantities of iron ore, hence the title "Always more production." By the time mining ended in 1973, miners had produced about 106 million tons of iron ore, along with large quantities of copper, silver, gold, and cobalt. Join the journey through the history, technology, and people that harvested these riches."--Page 4 of cover.

Continuing the 'Mining in Cornwall' series, L.J. Bullen depicts three mines from the Central Mining District. Most of the scenes date from around 1900 to the early twenty-first century. This was the period that saw the decline of the industry, but renews hope was generated in the 1960s with the much improved world price for tin. Some of the leading mining corporations of the world became involved. A great deal of exploratory work, including diamond drilling, took place and a number of mines were reopened. One entirely new mine was commenced. The sudden and dramatic collapse of the tin price on the London Metal exchange in October 1985 hit the world's tin industry severely and was a particular blow to the deep underground mines of Cornwall. Since that time the price has been depressed and never in its long history has the price for that metal remained at such a low level for so many years. South Crofty Mine finally succumbed in 1998 and was the last tin mine to operate in the Duchy. In this, his seventh volume, the author provides a remarkable portrayal of an ancient industry which is now consigned to history. However, the mineral resources of Cornwall are still considerable and perhaps at some time in the future a combination of different economic and political circumstances will bring about a renaissance.
