of native gold and silver, and one-tenth of gold and silver ore holding 8 lbs. weight in the cwt. ; of every cwt. of copper, 2s., or one-twentieth during the first five years, and afterwards 2s. 6d. or one-fifteenth ; and too have the preferment in bying of all Pretious stones or pearl (!) to be found in the working of these mines ; also rights over tin and lead.
Daniel Hechstetter was acting as agent for David Haug, Hans Langnauer Co., of Augsburg, already great dealers in silks, cloths, and draperies, in groceries and the spices of the East Indies, and like other wealthy business men of the time, in banking and bill discounting. They had widespread branches, reaching from Venice to Antwerp and from Cracow to Lyons ; and though not originally interested in mines, they had recently taken over from the successor of the famous Augsburg house of the Fuggers the control of the copper mines
of Neusohl in Northern Hungary. One of their branches was at Schwatz, in Tyrol, near Innsbruck, a celebrated mining centre, where silver, copper, and iron were produced; and we find by these account books that it was from Schwatz that some of the first miners were sent by them to England. For their earlier history see Dr. Meilingers work, named in the Bibliography above.
The English records tell us that Hechstetter (July, 1565) offered to form a company and to give shares to Sir William Cecil, to the Earls of Pembroke and Leicester, Mr. Tamworth, and Alderman Duckett ; the actual assignment of the 24 shares can be gathered from the account books, with the dates at which the shareholders entered the Company.* For the sake of convenience I have set out these statements in the following table : -
* The expenses of 1564-5 (see p. 5) were charged to the first nine shareholders, who must therefore have joined the Company as from its formation.

That is to say, nearly all the English shareholders kept their places in the Company, while the German shares (10 out of 24) were in the hands of Daniel Hechstetter for the strangers. Mr. W. R. Scott (see the Bibliography given above) points out that the average price realised was ?1200 a share, which meant no more than the right to participate in the monopoly; and that beside this initial outlay, shareholders were liable to calls for prospecting and for development of their properties. From these accounts I gather that most of the English shareholders did not respond to these calls. The first of the detailed account books begins with 1569, but scattered through the volumes there are some notices which give general returns of expenses for the first four years, as well as a few particulars regarding the journeys of the miners to England and the implements and materials supplied from Germany. For the sake of clearness and brevity I have tabulated the figures representing the initial outlay, giving from 1566 to 1568 the sums in pounds only (most of the accounts being kept in English money), and where the odd shillings and pence of the original reach more than los. the amount is represented by the next higher figure in pounds (/19 gs. 6d. is stated as ?19, while ?19 los. 6d. is given as ?20), though ...

Was never heard the nymphs to daunt.
Or fright them from their hallowed haunt.
But the accounts for Charcoal, Peat, and Carnage of Ore show the rise of actual smelting at the new buildings and the complete devastation of the woods, far and wide.
This work was done almost entirely by an army of local farmers (pauern), though, as we shall see, skilled workmen for charcoal-burning were imported from the Midlands. But the sum of over ?1600 distributed in the neighbourhood in two and a half years, in addition to all that found its way by employment, purveying, and indirectly into local pockets, must have assured
the Keswick folk that their early hostility to the Germans had been a great mistake.
Carriage usually meant fetching goods from London or Newcastle by the ordinary carriers. In the middle of 1567 the Company began keeping its own carts and horses, for building and for carriage of special articles close to Keswick ; but this did not supersede the use of English packhorses for charcoal, peat, ore, and a Httle later for stone-coal. As the work developed, other accounts were opened. Most of these will be found represented ; though I have omitted all under the heading of Interest, because their value for our present purpose is small in comparison with the many which claim a place.

For 1564 I find only one entry, recording a payment on June 21st to Daniel Hechstetter, Ludwig Haug, and Hans Loner for travelling (from Augsburg to England) and for men hired from Castein (Gastein in Tyrol,...

The first letter calendared among the English State Papers for 1568 is from Daniel Ulstatt or Ulstet, who had come to reside in Keswick as representative of the German firm, in the place of Junker Ludwig Haug, as he is called in the accounts. Daniel Hechstetter was still travelling frequently between Germany- and England, and did not come into permanent residence until 1572. This letter reads rather curiously when wc remember that Mr. Ulstet was the father of an illegitimate child at Keswick ; and if the special provision of fish on Fridays
for him be taken as an indication of his religion, it is odd that he should have applied to Queen Elizabeth's minister for a German preacher. The miners from Tyrol, and especially from Styria (whence some by their names must have come), were probably Lutherans, though most Bavarians were Roman Catholics; at least, this was the case shortly afterwards, and all the colony seem to have gone without protest to the English church.* There is no trace in the accounts of the appointment of a German clergyman, though a chapel is mentioned (p. 32) ; the two Becks, clergy of that period, were pretty certainly English. And Ulstatt was soon on good terms with Lady Radcliffe.

colony, but our Martin M. was then only seven or eight years old. Moser,
from Mosser in Cumberland or Mozergh in Westmorland, was also a local
English surname.

?/i?200 ELIZABETHAN KESWICK
Although it is not intended in this volume to give a history of the Mining Company the reader who has followed the fortunes of Mr, Daniel and his party so far may reasonably ask for the end of the story, for we leave them at a crisis. From various sources* we gatlier that Hechstetter struggled on for a few years, but by 1578 found it necessary to propose that the shareholders should
provide ?1000 for working expenses, or else leave him to work the mines with his own partners. He died in 1581. Mr. Scott says that another German firm made an offer, in the belief that they could extract three times
as much copper from the ore as Hechstetter got ; and we
find elsewhere that in 1581 George Needham brought
Joachim Gans to Keswick with proposals for a reform
at Smelthouses. But this came to nothing. Meanwhile
Customer Thomas Smytli, one of the sliareholders, took
a lease of the Companys works, guaranteeing to pay
the Queens royalties and a dividend to the shareholders.
The Cornish mines were then opened afresh, and Ulrich
Frass was sent as manager to Treworth, near Perin Sands.
We hear of him there in January, 1583-4, as ill in health,
but verye carfful and dylygent, and as revisiting
Cimiberland in the summer of 1585. By this time Hans
Hering had been to Neath in South Wales to report on
the ores of that district, and in March, 1586, Ulrich Frass
had lately been sent to Neath and a smelting-house had
been set up there. Frass, improving on the invention
of Joachim Gans, found it more profitable to smelt all
sorts of copper ore together, and according to Sir Hussey
Vivian {Copper Smelting, 1881), he introduced the process
employed in South Wales up to modern times.
Mark Steinberger and Richard Ledes remained at
Keswick, with Emanuel and the younger Daniel Hechstetter.

WHITEHAVEN.
October, 1722, Gustavus Thomson, Esq., of Arkleby Hall, became
the owner of this property, and in that year sold off a portion to
one Christopher Thomson ; perhaps it was part of the dowry of
his wife Joanna, one of the two daughters of the Humphrey
Senhouse already mentioned. Bridget, the other, married John
Christian, at Cross Canonby, May 14th, 17 18. (It was in
recollection of his maternal ancestry, and probably also with
another allusion, for it is said to have been the place of his somewhat
sudden birth, that Lord Chief Justice Law, her grandson,
selected the title of Ellenborough when he was elevated to the
peerage.)
I may be allowed to enlarge a little upon Gustavus Thomson
and his family, for their story has not been told, and is well worth
the telling. Soon after the glorious Restoration, for such jolly
doings would scarcely have taken ijlace in the days of Puritanism,
or else would have been kept more sub rosd, Mr. Porter, of Weary
Hall, in the parish of Bolton, attended the races at York, and was
unfortunate in his betting transactions ; money was wanted to pay
his debts of honour, and then and there he sold his advowsons of
Bolton and Plumbland to Mr. Richard Thompson, of Kilham in
Yorkshire, for ^100 down. It is sad to think that for a few years
Mr. Thompson received no interest on his capital, but in 1686
fortune smiled, for the Rev. Daniel Hechstetter, of the
Hechstetters of Keswick, Rector of Bolton, died ; and in the very
same year the Rev. Joseph Nicolson, father of William Nicolson,
Bishop of Carlisle, was laid beneath the Communion table at
Plumbland. Mr. Richard Thompson was at last in a position to
recoup himself, and well he availed himself of the opportunity.
He presented both rectories to the Rev. Michael Robmson, with
an agreement in the background that he - the patron - was to
receive ?,60 per annum for fourteen years, after which the rector
was to have both livings clear for the rest of his life ; but alas !
for poor Michael, he died in the very terminal year of 1700. Mr.
Richard Thompson was not quite prepared for this stroke of good
luck, for his sons were all laymen, and Gustavus, who was the one
pitched upon to succeed to this ecclesiastical prize, was in the
army ; but there were no penny papers in those days ; a ...

33 for his home lot on the eastern slopes of the hill"George hill", bounded north by the trucking house lot which John Prescott bought of John Cowdall in 1647. Adams soon got into serious trouble by illicit trade with the Indians, . . . and his unimproved home lot was reconveyed by the proprietors to Jonas Fairbank. In 1670, however, Adams laid claim to the land and the town appeased him by a grant of sixty acres near 'Washacome'. There he built and lived, apparently a genial neighbor to the Indians. Adams, George II (I13963)
 
34 From Mary Hoods Obituary
"Mr. W. Boyle, who brought the first cattle over the range from Cardwell to the Herbert district."
This is a distance or about 300 km although google suggests it is about 600 km by road today.

See story in 'The Ingham District, Some Early Years, Discovery and Development
That was the start of the Herbert River and ?b?Scott Brothers were actually the first to open it up?/b?.

43 OBITUARY

It is with sincere regret that we ("Delta Advocate") heard of the death of Mr. John Gilmour last Wednesday (June 1st.) Deceased for some time past had been suffering from the result of a neglected cold, and it was apparent to everyone that he could not last much longer.

Born in Scotland, the deceased came out to Australia when, he was only 14 years of age, and shortly after, found his way to this district, where he remained for some time, after which lie travelled over a great portion of both Queensland and New South Wales. Eventually he married anil settled down at the Ravenswood Junction. Some eight years ago Mr. Gilmour returned with his family- to this district and was engaged in timber getting until last year when he entered into sugar cane cultivation. The funeral, which took place on Thursday morning, was largely attended by friends anxious to pay their last tribute to a, very good fellow. Deceased leaves behind a wife and eight of a family, the eldest being about 21 years and the youngest, two years of age. Much sympathy is extended to them in their great loss.

44 OBITUARY
DONALD DAVID EPP With sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Donald David Epp on May 15, 2020 in Toronto in his 87th year. Remembered by his beloved wife Phyllis (Windsor), children Heather, Sharon (Norm), Lorraine (Mike), David (Cindy), and brother Gordon (Carol). Predeceased by parents Edith and Neil, and brother Norman (Eleanor). Dear grandfather to Brent (Mika), Sarah (Tim), Chelsea (Marc), Anne, Russell, Claire, and great-grandfather to Lenn, Rose and Keito. Fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews.

Born in Toronto, Don attended Leaside High School and received his B. Com. from the University of Toronto. As a Chartered Accountant, he had a successful financial career in major corporations in Canada and the U.S. He married Phyllis in 1958 and together they made homes in Windsor, Ohio, Waterloo, Montreal and Toronto. Don was a faithful member of Yorkminster Park Baptist Church and volunteered on many boards and committees throughout his life. He enjoyed history, reading, gardening, sailing, home projects, and travels with Phyllis. Above all, he loved being with family, especially at the cottage on Balsam Lake which he built with his parents and brothers, Norm and Gord.

Starting in mid-life, Don was plagued with significant health challenges which he met with an amazing grace that was an inspiration to all who knew him. The family would like to thank the caring and courageous staff at The Village of Humber Heights, Etobicoke, who looked after him in his final weeks during the global pandemic. A private graveside service will be held. We will celebrate Don's life together properly when it is safe to do so. Condolences to www.morleybedford.ca. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the MS Society of Canada.
