Down into the mine!!

Today we went down into a iron ore mine shut up for 50 years because of ore quality not sufficient to make it viable. We walked down an incline to a 600 foot depth under the water of Conception Bay. It wasn't as spooky as I thought it might be because of lights etc. She did shut the light off a one point but it was not as absolutely dark as the Carasbad caverens.
They took 70 millions tons of ore out of the ground, using their backs and horses and kids as young as 10 and now they are using what is left to hold down a few jobs so that some people can work at home and not travel the ferry etc to St John's like their 500 neighbors.
