編號為RBSC-ARC-1679-CC-TX-100-43-5 的收藏品,名為Report of the Minister of Mines,是一份礦業部長關於1883年採礦業事故的報告。

 

報告指出,僅此一年,共發生28起事故。有12起事故為中國人,佔比為42.9%。其中一人死亡,11人受傷。

 

這份報告還指出,在1883年,Nanaimo Collieries共僱傭礦工398人。其中有97名中國人,佔礦工總人數的24.4%。白人的薪資為每天$2-4,中國人的薪資為每天$1-1.5,而原住民的薪資為每天$1.25-2.50。

 

在Wellington Collieries,1883年共僱傭礦工559人。其中有276名中國人,佔礦工總人數的49.4%。白人的薪資為每天$2-3.75,中國人的薪資為每天$1-1.25。

 

從這份報告可以反應華人當時的生存狀況。在被歧視的環境中,他們幹最危險的工作,拿最低的薪酬。

 

矿业部长报告显示了白人和少数族裔矿工的工资差别。
