Another job Rico's happy he doesn't have

Aaron Nelsen has an article at Time.com about a really lousy job:
Armed with only a lantern and basic tools, Aladino Olivares crawls down a crude mine shaft little more than three feet high inside a mountain near CopiapĆ³ in Chile's northern Atacama Desert. He does this so often that he doesn't wear a helmet anymore, only a stocking cap holding a pack of cigarettes and two lighters. "It's just a little bit farther," Olivares, 58, says about two hundred feet down. At three hundred feet, he slides into a parallel shaft. The only ceiling supports are rocks that he's stacked over the years. "Right there, that's the vein..."
Rico says there's more to the article, but Time is making it a nuisance to see, sorry...
