Trapper boy

Trapper Boy, "Son." Opens and closes door that controls ventilation. He is underground from 7 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. (Much of the work of mining, loading and carrying is done by machinery.) Boy has been trapping for several years. Asked if these boys did this one thing all the time, the boss said, "Oh, they change around from one door or another."
