Very well written. I read it almost as a true account, well done!
I especially enjoyed the basket/lock system. Wow, what people used to go through... Makes you appreciate our ancestors all the more after imagining the time and trouble spent!

Thank you! I'm going to write a few more posts to expand this story. It won't be a separate story for each separate day, but at the beginning it will be, as the character Carl will do different kinds of work in the mine each day, as he's just starting out.
I decided to write this story when I found all these great photos of the miners.
Very cool!
I love how old photos inspired you! I teach an IF writing class for 4th & 5th graders and when a team cannot think of a subject or characters I have them go through old photos. Works every time :)
I like to participate in the 31sentencecontest hosted by tristancarax each week, for which all the prompts are images and photos. It's definitely great exercise for the imagination!
