About this time, Edward's mining company was seeking a competent person to place in Mexico as their representative, someone especially conversant with metallurgical knowledge who could conduct the company's affairs and engage local labourers. Even the machinery for Mexican Mines was being sent from Cornwall. Edward Skewes was chosen to go." 4
