CHILEAN Miners Powerful.

Perhaps the greatest weights borne
for any distance on mems backs are
the loads of ore brought up from the
mines of the Andes by the miners OF
Chill. Darwin visited a copper mine
In a ravine leading from the main
range OF the Cordileras, where the
work was carried on by such primitive
means that, though the mines had
been worked in the mountains for at
least two centuries, the water was re.
moved in some by carrying it up shafts
in leather bags on mems backs.
Sir Francis Head, when visiting a
similar mine, found that all the ore
was carried up to the surface, YER
teal climb of $50 feet, by the miners,
and that the average weight carried
was $50 pounds. This load was not
carried up a winding stair, but up
notched trunks of trees, set almost up
right, one touching another.
The food OF the Gillian miner, ac-
cording to Darwin, consisted OF ra-
tons OF sixteen figs and two small
loaves of bread for breakfast; for din
ner boiled beans, for supper wheat
crushed and roasted They scarcely
ever tasted meat.
