Somero, imagine that you are weeks from a source of supplies - no dynamite , just at best black powder, - so you do what you can with available materiel's known to work at that time.
As for the laborers, no one ever gave them thoght except for their producing capacity.

Fire was an important tool in those days, both for cracking an rock, and for ''ventilation''..
Under these circumstances mining works were very limited. Of course, further south nearer Mexco city etc, where explosives and iron tools were readily available, they were impressive even by today's standards..
