Could any one give me an idea of what their work would involve? and how high/low they were on the 'social lader' of the time? Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I understand it was a person who acted on behalf of the mining company.He would work in procurement of orders and deal with contracts etc so it seems like a good job |
