Willie has been working here for 4 months 500 feet down the shaft. Walls have been whitewashed to make it lighter. Jan. 16 I found Willie at home sick. His mother admitted he is only 13 years old, will be 14 next July. She said that 4 months ago the mine boss told the father to take Willie to work, and they obtained a certificate from Squire Barrett.
