[QUOTE="Agent Oracle, post: 2901991, member: 40076"] No, miners do not own shops. generally, miners are too buisy.. .you know, mining. THat said, here's what happens to the typical ore AFTER ti's mined. -Miners, in the employ of the mine owner mover the ore to the surface, where it is put into bulk transport: in a steampunk setting that means trains. -the mine's owner Sells the ore by bulk to a refinery, or to a mill, or, if they happen to OWN a mill, they will refine their own raw ore into metal ingots suitable for sale. -The refined ingots are loaded onto another bulk transport (train) and taken to various mills and plants where they are refined form their raw metal bar form into whatever they will be once sold (Horseshoes, gear, tablkes, chairs) -THe finished products is taken to a store and sold there. During the victorian era (which is where Steampunk is primarily set, Victorian / industrial revolution era.) Tycoons emerged. These were people who owned several, or all of the means of production. Andrew Canreigie is a prime example... he owned the mines, the mills, the railway, and the metal shops that made things. All together, he saved a fortune by making only final products. If he had only owned the mills, he would have to pay for the ore, and then pay agian to ship it out. because he owned almost everything, he had a monopoly. Now, if you want my authoritative resource on steampunk, i reccomend [url="http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/cgi-bin/gg101.cgi?date=20050221"]Girl Genius[/url] [/QUOTE]
