New rubber Mine Britches

摘要

The rubber slicker pants underground miner's wear are great for warding off the dampness of a mine. On the other hand britches made from the new syndic rubber called neoprene was, for me something else again. I'd been working in the north Idaho's Lucky Friday Mine for several years before this miracle of modem technology came upon the scene. I was enthusiastic from the start, though, because I saw that other miners were wearing them, The new britches looked like they would work out just find. Then the fateful of our first meeting came along. My old slicker pants were torn, greasy, and ragged. They'd given their for me. They'd withstood the rough treatment that I gave them as I struggled with heavy mine timbers, anchoring the timbers in place while snoring up the ground so it wouldn't cave down on top of US.
