Larry Price documents child labor in 'The Cost of Gold'

What Price saw were children doing such back-breaking labor as digging, crushing and hauling rock in the most dangerous conditions, as well as being exposed to mercury and other toxic materials. Some of the children even were used for compressor mining, diving into deep narrow pits filled with water and working in total darkness with only a breathing tube feeding them air from a compressor on the surface. Sometimes, the pit walls collapse, burying them alive.
