In the 1800s, there were many things to do in mines, for people of all ages.
Trappers were little kids who opened and closed trapdoors, to let the wagons of coal pass by on the underground tracks.
Drawers pushed and pulled loaded wagons of coals towards the lifts that take them upto the surface.
Bearers were young girls who took sacks of coal away from the coalface, and loaded the coal wagons.
Diggers were people who dug for coal.

How does natural gas and bituminous coal support the economy of WV?
Bituminous Coal exists in the geological area known as The Pittsburgh Coal Seam-- an area extending from Western Pennsylvania, Western West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Though mined since the days of Native American Indians, and heavily mined since 1800, it is estimated there is still enough coal in this large seam to last millions of years.Western West Virginia has relied on the coal industry, with many fine and experienced miners working WVA mines. Without the coal and gas industries, WVA men would be out of work. Families would suffer. It is too mountainous to farm in most areas. Only mountain goats could climb the steep cliffs. While health and hospitality industries have begun to take root, generations of men only know the gas and coal industries.
