Drift Mines
March 4, 2008

The photo shows two unidentified miners and (if you look closely) their dog. Also seen in the photo are a full cart of coal, two empty coal carts, mining tools, the wooden rails, tailing piles, and the miners’ shack. The miners’ shack would have a scale for weighing the coal and a coal stove for warmth. Surely other items for comfort were there too, but only the metal and glass items have been found during recent digs.
