REPLY OF THE MINING AUTHORITIES
AT FAHLUN .*
To the well-born Count and President, and to the Honour
able Councillors and Assessors of Mines.
Inasmuch as the well-born Assessor Emanuel
Swedenborg has stated that he has discovered some new
means by which the working of copper in this country, and
especially in the Copper Mountain may be improved con
siderably, and probably increased from ten to eleven skeppund,
therefore the Board of Mines have carefully considered both
his humble petition submitted to His Royal Majesty, and also
the gracious letter of the Royal College, dated the 11th of
last month, with a memorial consisting of sundry detached
portions. Moreover, as Your Excellency the Count, and the
Royal College have been pleased to order the Board of Mines,
in case they have anything to reply to the demand made
by Assessor Swedenborg in his memorial, to report the
same at their earliest convenience to the Royal College ;
therefore in humble compliance therewith the Board of
Mines has carefully examined and considered his demands,
and for convenience sake have added their remarks to each
of his points. In doing so their object has been, on the one
hand, to enable Assessor Swedenborg to reflect more on such
an important subject, and on the other hand to express and
to establish between him and the said Board of Mines such
conditions and such limitations, that no dispute and no mis
understanding may arise, but that each may take all necessary
precautions at first, and afterwards enter with greater zest,
* Preserved in the College of Mines among the Bref och Suppliquer,
for 1722, No. 153.
