Harvey Seeley Mudd (1888-1955) was a mining engineer. He and his father founded the Cyprus Mines Corporation that operated copper mines on the island of Cyprus in 1916. Mudd also managed an iron mine in Peru and had other oil interests in the United States. By 1955 when Mudd died, the copper mines on Cyprus were exporting almost a million tons of copper annually.
