My impression of the mines is dark and dirty. Just the thought of their actual job leads me to this conclusion, which is supported by the reading. The miners were with dirt! They don't wash their clothes hardly ever, so the miners are dirty surrounded by dirt. I think of the mines a dark because it seems their was a dark haze. The lanterns couldn't have made a very big impact on the lighting causing a darkened work area. Even through these impressions, it seems the workers worked and worked, very hard, in order to try and prosper. .
Miners lead a very lonesome life usually without small luxuries. It was very rare to see another human, because the mines were long deserted from the early gold rush times. Even a lot of towns weren't even around, because most of the miner's had left. The miners also lived without many luxuries. These miner's did not usually have their own home, and whoever did mostly did not have very up kept houses. These usually had dirt flours, tin eating wear, and only had beans bacon and coffee to eat and drink!.
Miners got along very well. Since mining life was so lonesome, the miners were grateful to see each other. Also, Miners with homes were glad to have another miner stay because it was someone to talk to, and socialize with. The homeowners made their mining guests make themselves at home. This was a very merry time when Miners got together, do to the lonely time they had the rest of the time, by themselves.
