Telegram of commercial character through which the mining company Vanimilo informs Serpieri company in Athens about the mining cargo transferred to Lavrio. The exploitation of manganese deposit in open-cast mining in Cape of Milos was undertaken by "Vani-Milos" company, of which major shareholder was the French company Roux-Serpieri (Serpieris' company). Manganese was sold abroad while one part of that (usually inferior) was sent to the foundries of the mining in Lavrio where it was used as a reagent for the fusion of other minerals. Vani-Milo company ceased operations in Milos in December 1928, i.e. approximately a year after the sending of the telegram in question.
