The actual mining of the coal and ironstone was undertaken by Charter Masters , specially qualified men with training and experience, often being the sons of charter masters . These were contracted with the landowners mining agents to supply the labour , horses , tools , candles , and explosives and also light beer to be sent down in small kegs at midday . They were not responsible for the winding plants and the sinking of the shafts . They were paid tonnage rates , the rates being obtained by weighing machines on the railway and by gauging of the canal boats . "
