A typed copy of a 1930 report by Glasgow mining engineer D. Landale Frew on the Mashaba Rhodesian Asbestos Company's mine near Mashaba, Southern Rhodesia. Frew visited July to August 1930 on instructions from John Gardner. He covers the serpentine-hosted cross and slip fibre asbestos deposits, quarry and underground workings, hand cobbing by African 'boys', the mill and fibre grading, costs per ton, claim blocks, and African labor, wages and rations, and recommends cost-cutting changes. Appendices include notes on labor, a letter from D. MacIntyre on prospecting, and a list of fibre and mill-dust samples.
