Horses that were brought into the mine as foals and never saw the light of day again, and were buried in the mine when they died :cry:

Don't worry in New England they didn't use horses, they just used prisoners.

The General Assembly decided to confine serious criminals - burglars, horse thieves, counterfeiters, forgers - in a working environment as an alternative to the whipping post and other "infamous punishments" of the day.


On topic I like the idea of paving in mines, but non of that self moving cart stuff.

Domesticated beavers! They spin and play music! Put one into the stamp mill to power it and you get a music box as a bonus!
