Awesome shots 🙂 There was a photo of the same mine in the sunday times the week before last. £4 to £5 per day for 70-100 kilos carried 18km down the mountain...

my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by

Now that's dangerous! And I thought that Consolidated mines had problems with sulphuric acid.

Where there's a mine or a hole in the ground.

So follow me down Cousin Jack

If you watch the "working mans death - Ghosts" Video on youtube it follows the miners as the mine the sulphur and then down to the weigh station carrying over 100kg at a time :blink:
