Mining by candlelight! Miners in a South African mine load an ore cart that’s parked under an ore chute. Notice the two candles stuck into the wall near the chute. And it looks like both miners on the right and left are holding lit candles in their right hands. No burro or donkey is present, so a miner probably pushed the loaded ore cart along the tracks. Date this priceless photograph was taken? Probably sometime around 1900.
