Colin Thanks for the info. I knew that Matheron had considerable correspodence with Gandin in Russia, who was working in meteorology but have no references to his work. As noted in Cressie's paper, many other folks in many other fields were also working on similar stuff.
Since Digby's original question was about publications in mining specifically, I think de Wijs is still the earliest reference. If anyone knows an earlier, please let us know!
