     The village clings to the side of the hill and looks down over the broad valley of Meng-tsz. The view in all directions is superb, and the village is filthy. It deals principally with the two dirtiest commodities known to man—pigs and coal. The tin from the mines of Kochiu, both of which are on a spur railroad which branches off from the main line at a village called Pi-che-tchai.[...]The tin from the mines of Kochiu also passes through it, but only at intervals, whereas the pigs and the coal are its everyday affair.

     One of the most criminal uses of them was in the primitive tin mines at Kochiu, a semi-government enterprise. Once there, the boys often developed rickets, scabies and beri-beri. The shafts and tunnels in the mines were very small, hardly big enough for a boy to crawl in and out on his hands and knees, with the ore basket strapped to his back. As a result many became permanently deformed and were cast aside.
