In a time past there were many miners in Camborne, but the mines finished. There was no more tin or copper and there was no work for the workmen. The miners took their labour and their skills to America, to Mineral Point, a region rich in minerals. At first they got lead, and later zinc. They took their skills and their family names, such as Trelawny and Pendarves. Some of them went away to find gold (in California) - but they left their names. Cornwall is remembered in Wisconsin. The flag is flying in Commerce Street!
