Dear Paigon,
I found very little relevant information (and no pictures), so I don't
post it as an answer, rather as helpful information/comment.
I have several managers names: Henry Hancock (and his son) were the
managers of the mine in its successful years. You can find mroe about
them in this out-of-print book, "Cap'n 'Ancock, Ruler of Australia's
Little Cornwall", Mandie Robinson
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0727006061/ltc-political
Other managers mentions were : Captain Eneder Warmington, Captain
William Warmington and Captain Matthew Henry East, Thomas Elder,
Robert Barr Smith
http://kadina.yp-connect.net/~ypct/features/hancock6.html and
Barkla, J.; manager Yelta mine Moonta ; [15]41
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/jon_rees/corbookB.htm
I found almost no miners' names. The only ones I found were
"The striking miners' leader", Mr Kitto
http://kadina.yp-connect.net/~ypct/features/hancock4.html ; which is
probably Richard Middleton KITTO or Robert Kent KITTO and the Verran
family

Thsi might come in handy looking for pictures,
