Young Cape Breton miners at the pit head, 1903. Allie, on the far left, was a boy of only nine, who worked as a trapperboy. He opened and
closed the door for horses bringing coal carts out of the mine. Each week he worked a thirteen hour
shift, 6 days a week, for 55 cents a day. Canada’s
industrial revolution depended on coal, and
Cape Breton Island contained the richest coal
deposits in eastern Canada. By 1901, it produced half of
Canada’s coal.
