AtDTdA: (9) 262-265

[Keith]

Kronos, the Titan god of time, was famous for swallowing each of his  
newborn sons so they could not overthrow him. Zeus was saved a trip  
down the gullet of Time when his mother Rhea concealed a stone in an  
infant's diaper which lodged in his gullet. Thus, you have the idea  
of Time devouring mortals.

In this passage, the narrator is comparing the significance of  
murdered miners to jug whiskey. Jug whiskey is cheap and easily  
drank. The miners lives are insignificant, and they are easily  
devoured by time (down the gullet of days), whether they are murdered  
or not. Miners had a very low life expectancy due to the many hazards  
of mining.
