Report, endorsed by James and Thomas Hamilton, on the investigation of the mine at Alva and the ores identified in it
Contents
The variety of the ores is 'of an Extraordinary Nature, such as to my Knowledge few or none Like have ever been seen in Europe', though from a commercial point of view only the silver is of interest.
Followed by a diagrammatic map of the mine (Mint 19/3/223-4), a more technical 'Description of the Mine' (Mint 19/3/225), the tabulated result of six assays and the threesome's expense claims for the investigation (Mint 19/3/226).
