A Certificate from the Miners presented to the Right Honourable the Lordr and other of his Majesties most Honourable Privy Councel May it please your Lordships ACcording to your commands Wee whose names are under written being Miners Smelters Refiners Carryers Washers and Monyers belonging to his Majesties Mines Royal in the County of Cardigan in all humility do certifie of our certain knowledge and experience concerning the new works lately discovered by Gods providence to Thomas Bushell Esquire Farmer of his Majesties Mines Royal in these parts that the said Master Bushell at his inestimable charge having cut six hundred Fathome through the Rock at the lowest levels North and South for discovering the lost vein of Cum-sum lock lying East and West two hundred Fathome through the Mountain of Tallibont at sixty Fathome perpendicular three several Addits at Koginenn one above another twenty and thirty Fathome center another at the Darren to come under the Romans work at an hundred Fathom center another at Bryn Lloyd fifty Fathom in length and thirty Fathom center working day and night for the Drayning of the water which formerly in the time of Customer Smith and Sir Hugh Middleton in their working of the Mines Royal was never used they only working upon the Superficies of the earth the works being drowned with water before they could sink to the best of the vein both for quantity and quality and so the charge made to exceed the benefit which danger is prevented by the aforesaid Addits and the Royal Mines become more hopeful especialy by the assistance of his Majesties Mint for the speedy payment of all those that are employed in the said works And Mr. Bushels own invention to save Wood by reducing the Ore into Lead and Silver with Turff and Sea-cole Charked which happy invention had it not been found out the works must needs have been left unwrought the Country not being able to have supplyed necessary fewel And further by the prohibition of transporting Ore unwrought that holdeth silver worth the refining which His Majesty in his Princely wisdom saw to be very prejudicial even to the utter overthrow of his Mines Royal. We have therefore great reason to be confident that his way of Working with the restraint of transporting Ore will in short time greatly encrease the Bullion of this Kingdom for the honour of the King and good of the Common-wealth together with the employment of many hundred poor people which would be otherwise an unsupportable burthen to this barren Country who by their present labour in these Mines are able to subsist with their Families and thousands more might be daily set on work if Mr. Bushels undertakings in the Mines Royal may be confirmed for a certain time by this present high Court of Parliament MINERS David Fowles William Rashly Henry Cockler David Bebb.
