| Miners at work |
The job of
miner was for boys and girls, men and women, from 6 years old until
they died.
The boys
and girls were strong.
The job of
miner was to dig the ground to find coal.
In their
houses, miners slept and prepared dinner.
They
walked to work.
They were
taking canaries in the shaft to go down to the mine because canaries
are sensitive to fumes and gases .

They went
down the mine in a elevator to 100 metres underground.
The
conditions of the job were abysmal because a miner could be killed
by a collapse and by the fumes or gas .
