This reference came from the Weis & Weis book previously mentioned. I
will check my library sources further for your request. As a side
note -and take this with a grain of salt - when reviewing English
reference mining books concerning copper mining in the US Colonies
only two mines - let's just say -got the English excited - the Higley
& Schuyler mines.
When I get a chance I will post-up the entire citation of Hunter from
the Weis&Weis reference and any other citations found. The date
matching of Kayla's reference to Weis & Weis is beyond coincidental
and the reference was found in the Schuyler Chapter within Weis &
Weis. I am at work it may be a couple a days as I am preparing for
the Mott talk. - 2002-07-25
