The annual exhibition of the Photographic Society of (Tieat Britain is one wliich 

 is looked forward to year Ijy year «'ith increasing interest Ijy a large number of 

 persons. 'J'o this exhiliition we are accustonie<l to turn for information regarding 

 tJie most recent applications of the scicjice. 'J'he Photographic Society is not an 

 artistic but rather a scientific societj'. Its principal aims are evidently to foster the 

 researches of science in the advancement of the optical and chendcal investigations 

 which result in the triumf)hant discoveries with which photography fi-om time to 

 time startles the world. . . . Two large fi'ames, which have deservedlj' received tlie 

 medal of the Photographic Society, are tho?e by Mr. J. C' Burrow. They contain a 

 series of views taken " 'Mongst Mines and Miners.'' Both photographically considered 

 and for their general interest they arij distinctly remarkable. — The Times. 



A very curious and interesting sei-ies of Photographs is Mr. J. C. Burrow's '"Mongst 

 Mines and Miners," two sets of stiulies of Cornish miners at work in the mines, which 

 were taken by n:aguesinm lamps combined with lime-light, a;id printed by the 

 gelati no-chloride process. — Graphic. 



'''Mongst mines and mineis" (3), by J. C. Burrow, is well deserving the medal 

 awarded to it, for though, of course, the subjects are not j)t'etty or artistic, nor 

 entirely original, the_y illustrate a phase of life little known to the outer world. 

 Tiie work is praiseworthy, considering the adverse circumstances that hedged about 

 the exposures, and the groups lia ve little appearance of jiosing, even though some 

 ^,^re 2,000 ft. below the surfacte. The technitjue is exceedingly good. The judges 

 give a medal for this, and a similar set of pictures illustrating the same subject 

 (72). — P/io/or/ra/j';;/.

" Now, gentlemen, I always feel a considerable amount of doubt as to how far ] 

 make myself understood in describing tlicse operations to those gentlemen who may 

 never have gone down a mine perhaps in the course of their lives, and I will occnpj 

 only a moment of your time in saying that those who take a practical interest in the 

 subject would do well to visit the Photographic Society's Exhibition, in Pall Mall, 

 where they Mali see a number of photographs in two large frames taken b_y Mr. 

 Burrow, of Camliorne, of the underground woi'kings in Dolcoath and some of the 

 large mines i\i Cornwall. They are admh-iible specimens of photographs taken nnder 

 such circumstances, and give a capital idea of the manner in which workings are 

 carried on in our large metalliferous mines."' The Miiiin;/ World and Engineering 

 Record, Ortohcr l^th, page.OfiU. 



" We balieve it is somewhat novel for underground workings to be photographed 

 in this Coanti-y. We are glad, however, to find that Mr. J. C. Burrow, of Camborne. 

 ])hot()gi-aphed ""he underground workings at Dolcoath most successfully." — Mining 



'■A largely attended juid vei y enjoyalilc conversazi(;ne was held at the Royal 

 lnstituti(m of Cornwall, Truro, on Thurs(Uiy e\'eiung, immediatelj^ after the associated 

 meeting of the four county learned societies. In addition to the lime-light slides 

 shewing micro-pliotographs of Scottish and Cornish cherts, and the deep sea deposits 

 dredged by H.M.S. Challenger, and of the diatoms, sponges and radiolaria exhil>ited 

 by Mr. Howard Fox, Mr. W. Tliomas, Secretary' of the Mining Association and 

 Institute of Cornwall, exhibited a number of slides representing views photographed 

 undcrgiound at East Pool, Dolcoath, Cook's Kitchen, and several other mines, by 

 Ml'. Burrow." — Western. Morning Nen-.s. _
