Talisman/Dungeon expansion: Miner (Follower) question

By SMulhern, in Talisman Rules Questions

The Miner reads:

The Miner can carry an extra four Objects for you if you pay him 1 gold. If you do not pay him, he wanders off to the discard pile. If you lose the Miner, leave any surplus Objects of your choice in the space you are in.

Question: Do you have to pay the Miner each and every turn for him to carry the surplus items?

It's a one-time payment I think. He's the Porter of old, Mule that you have to pay partido_risa.gif .
