It is separated from mainland Juneau by the Gastineau Channel. Douglas Island was named for '''John Douglas''', Bishop of Salisbury, by '''Captain George Vancouver'''. '''Joseph Whidbey''', master of HMS Discovery during Vancouver's expedition, was the first to sight it in 1794. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Island '''Mine History''' : In 1880, prospectors''' Joseph 'Joe' Juneau''' and '''Richard Harris''' discovered gold in Silver Bow Basin. This brought waves of prospectors to the region, including John Treadwell, whose first move was to purchase a lode claim on Douglas Island from '''Pierre Joseph Erussard''' ("French Pete") on 13 Sept. 1881. {{Image|file=Alaska-Mexican_160_Gold_Mine_Disaster-2.jpg |align=l |size=l |caption=The Glory Hole }} :On December 27, 1881, Treadwell organized the Alaska Mill & Mining Company and began operations. The Treadwell gold mine was on the south side of Douglas Island, .5-mile (0.80 km) east of downtown Douglas and southeast of downtown Juneau. Composed of four sub-sites, the Treadwell, 700-Foot, Mexican and Ready Bullion. Treadwell was in its time the largest hard rock gold mine in the world, employing over 2,000 people. Between 1881 and 1922, over 3 million troy ounces of gold were extracted. Not much remains today except for a few crumbling buildings and a "glory hole". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treadwell_gold_mine '''Mine Disaster Circumstances''' '''The 1910 explosion was the worst disaster in Alaska mining history.''' :On March 3, 1910, there was a massive explosion on the 1,100-foot level of Mexican mine. The blast was so powerful a miner on the 900-foot level died in the accident. The explosion was due to eight cases of dynamite stored in a magazine. The area was designed that in the case of an explosion, the fumes would go up through the shaft and not suffocate the miners. Unfortunately, the men killed and wounded were directly in the way of the blast. Thirty-nine men and one horse were killed in total. The 1910 explosion was the worst disaster in Alaska mining history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treadwell_gold_mine ===Rescue Efforts=== ===Results and Findings=== No official Investigation Report has been found at this time. There was a brief mention in the Billings Weekly Gazette that the coroner's jury found the Treadwell Mining company blameless. The only survivor, Elijah Popovich, testified that in violation of company policy, two shift bosses went into the magazine just before the explosion. Company Blameless. The Billings Weekly Gazette (Billings Montana). 01 Apr 1910, Fri. Page 7. This disaster occurred 1 year before mining inspection records were kept. As a result of this incident, mining inspection and records were created. '''Aftermath''' The mine was still yielding gold in 1917 when the Treadwell, 700-Foot, and Mexican mines (excavated to a depth of more than 500 feet (150 m) below sea level under Gastineau Channel) suddenly began leaking and were evacuated. Hours later the mines collapsed. At the climax, sprays of water were sent up to 200 feet (61 m) in the air from the mine entrances. The only casualties were a dozen horses and one mule; local lore has it that one man unaccounted for used the opportunity to head for parts unknown. Evidence of instability had been noticed around 1909, but there was no indication of an impending disaster until 1913 when major geological shifts occurred.

Historically part of Cheshire, the town developed as a result of the Industrial Revolution when it became the site of coal mining and cotton manufacturing..https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dukinfield ====Mine History==== :Dukinfield has a very strong and proud mining tradition. The two main pits in the town were Dewsnap Basin and Astley Deep Pit. They were developed by Francis Dukinfield Astley and owned by his company the Astley Dukinfield Colliery Company. Dewsnap Pit was sunk in 1845/46 and Astley Deep Pit was started in 1847 and completed in 1852. Astley Pit was the deepest coal mine in Britain at a depth of 686.5 yards or 2060 feet. Together they were called "Dukinfield Collieries".http://dukinfieldviews.blogspot.com/2012/04/dukinfields-mining-past.html :There had been other fatal accidents at the colliery:- ::15 July 1855 - Four men were being wound out of the mine when they were thrown over the headstocks (the machinery at the top of the shaft which brings the cage up and down the shaft). Nine men were killed in the incident. ::25 March 1857 - A falling stone killed a worker, Benjamin Rowson, and in 1862 a second incident killed another miner but the man's name is not known.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astley_Deep_Pit_disaster ====Mine Disaster Circumstances==== :There was an explosion about quarter before 8 am on Thursday 4 March 1870 at Astley’s Deep Pit, Dukinfield Colliery. There was supposedly an escape of gas from an old unused place 1200 yards from the shaft. The event that caused the explosion was not known initially. Colliery Explosion and Loss of Nine Lives. Daily News (London, Greater London, England). 05 March 1870, Saturday. Page 3 There were 93 men in the mine but the explosion was confined to a small area. There were only 11 men in the area of the explosion. Nine were killed. Terrible Colliery Explosion. Reynold’s Newspaper (London, Greater London, England) 13 Mar 1870, Sun. Page 5 : The after-damp was so heavy after the explosion that rescuers were unable to get to the workings where the explosion had occurred. When they were able to get into the shaft the following morning there was evidence of a shot having been fired. There was also evidence that some of the miners were using naked lights rather that the safety lamps. One of the dead miner’s safety lamp was locked up at the top of the shaft. :Ventilation was a problem also. There was brattice cloth placed across air intake which reduced the flow of air in the mine. The temperature in the mine varied as much as 20° from top to bottom. The Colliery Explosion at Dukinfield. The Guardian (London, Greater London, England). 14 Mar 1870, Mon. Page 3. ====Investigation Report==== :The inquest was held at the Astley Arms, Dukinfield before the District Coroner, '''Mr. W. Johnson'''. '''Mr. T. Wynne''', Mine Inspector representing the government and '''Mr. Lord''' representing the owners were present.''' Mr. Elijah Swann''', general manager of the bottom workings at the pit gave testimony at the inquest. There was an explosion about quarter before 8am. Mr. Swann went down in the pit but could get no further than 1200 yards because of after-damp. He went down the following day and found a drill hole that he surmised was where the explosive shot was placed. His opinion was that the shot was the cause of the explosion. He had not been in that area of the mine for weeks but had received reports from firemen and underlookers. The last ventilation test had been done Feb 26th which showed the quality sufficient to ventilate the workings. The blasting was done contrary to rules, as no shot should be fired until the place had been examined and authority given. He did not know what the temperature was as any time over the past 2 years.Inquest :Based on testimony, policy did not allow miners to use powder without approval of the underlooker or fireman. Naked lights were not allowed further than the top of the 1,000 yard brow. Mr. Wynne said he had given every caution against meddling with the air flow. He also said that the temperature difference between the bottom of the shaft and the extreme end of the working was 20 degrees which was unprecedented in his experience. :Mr. Wynne, the government inspector overseeing the region, assigned blame as follows: :*Rules not followed – explosives were used without approval; :*Based on the pattern of the explosion, it was surmised that the pit was full of firedamp at time of shot; :*The manager was not competent to run the colliery. Mr. Wynne had informed the owner of this a number of times. Mr. Wynne said that Mr. Swann was a capable underlooker but he did not possess sufficient scientific knowledge to enable him to manage a mine of that magnitude. :The jury returned a verdict of accidental death and added that Mr. Swann was not competent to take the sole management of a mine of such magnitude.

There were only eleven workers in the area of the explosion. Nine of the eleven were killed. Two survivors were rescued. ''' James Belfield''' a single man residing at Dukinfield Hall was “very much burnt” but apparently survived. '''Jonathan Newton''' had been burned and was also in an insensible condition due to the after-damp. He was taken to his house on Astley Street and was showing signs of recovery the following day although he could not explain what had happened. The Colliery Explosion at Dukinfield. Glascow Herald(Glascow, Glascow, Scotland). 07 Mar 1870, Mon. Page 4 ===Rescue Effort & Rescuers=== '''Mr. William Hallam''' (fireman) brought the news of the disaster below up to the mouth of the pit. The proprietors and all others who needed notification were informed of events. An exploring party led by '''Mr. Elijah Swan''', '''Mr. Bailey(overlooker)''' and '''Mr. Hallam''' went down but found that the tunnel in the workings had been blown down and was full of gas. Over the night five parties of eight men each, successively penetrated the deadly atmosphere with the purpose of re-establishing the ventilation and afterwards to recover their lost companions. The work was both tedious and dangerous. During the course of the work it was found that considerable damage to the tunnel had been done and bratticing the road (erecting a partition of wood or treated cloth used to control ventilation in a mine) was necessary. This was done to assure that all the men could be brought safely up. Some of these men were seriously affected by the bad air. '''Mr. Henry Burton''', '''George Jones''' and '''Thomas Johnson''' all had to be brought up after being seriously affected by the gas. The injured men were attended to by '''Mr Robinson''', '''Mr. Schonfield''' and '''Mr.Foulkes''', surgeons of Dukinfield. The following morning the remainder of the bodies were recovered. They were either burned or asphyxiated. The Colliery Explosion at Dukinfield. Glascow Herald(Glascow, Glascow, Scotland) 17 Mar 1870, Mon. Page 4. Colliery Explosion Near Dukinfield).

Page 7 ===Others Involved/Supporters and the Aftermath=== By 1870 over 1,000 lives were still being lost in mining accidents each year. '''In 1872 the'' Coal Mines Regulation Act'' introduced the requirement for pit managers to have state certification of their training.''' '''Miners were also given the right to appoint inspectors from among themselves.'''https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/transformingsociety/livinglearning/19thcentury/overview/coalmines/ Four years later, there was a reference made in the 1874 Report to the House of Commons about the 1870 explosion. At that time the company (Dunkirk Coal Company) were working three seams – The Town Lane Mine, the Black Mine and the Cannel Seam; but after the accident the Town Lane mine was closed with the view of giving increased ventilation to the seams below, and so adding to the safety of the workpeople.

Originally it was a small village located on the south bank of the River Tame just south of Ashton-under-Lyne with open land to the south and east. Dukinfield was historically in the county of Cheshire but now is part of Tameside. In its early days from 1801, and previously, the population was small but boomed during the days of the cotton industry and later the coal industry with its major rail junction adding to its prosperity and growth..[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dukinfield Dukinfield] :Industrialization – particularly the cotton trade – helped shape the town, but its rapid development destroyed its former pasture and meadow land. Two cotton mills were built before 1794 and by 1825 there were seven. Coal pits exploiting the underlying coal measures to the south of the Lancashire Coalfield were a major part of Dukinfield's industrial history.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astley_Deep_Pit_disaster Astley Deep Pit Disaster] :At this time in mining history, safety was of little concern to employers and staff. Explosions and cave-ins were considered risks inherent in the mining profession. Although the Mines Regulations Act had been passed in 1873, change was not quick enough throughout the coal industry. Coal was a nationally important commodity and it was known that some pits produced from 1,200 to 1,700 tons of coal a day. It was calculated that the national output of coal in 1881 was 154,184,300 tons and that the industry employed nearly 500,000 people. In the first year after the Act was passed, 1873, it was reported that deaths had fallen to their lowest numbers ever at 100, but of the 63 added deaths in 1874, Astley Deep pit was responsible for 53. At the time Astley Deep Pit was the deepest coal mine in Britain and possibly the world, at 686.5 yards or 2060 feet at the time it opened in 1858, although one shaft was later sunk to a depth of 717 yards, or 2151 feet. This meant that the temperature at the bottom of the mine was high, gaining about one degree Fahrenheit for every 60 feet descended. The mine had taken 12 years to dig and was reported to have cost the owner, '''Mr F.D. Astley''', over £100,000 and the site employed around 400 people working in shifts 24 hours a day.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astley_Deep_Pit_disaster Astley Deep Pit Disaster] '''Mine History''' :There were two main pits in the town of Dukinfield. The Dewsnap Basin and Astley Deep Pit were developed by '''Francis Dukinfield Astley''' and owned by his company the Astley Dukinfield Colliery Company. Dewsnap Pit was sunk in 1845/46 and situated opposite the Globe Lane. [http://dukinfieldviews.blogspot.com/2012/04/dukinfields-mining-past.html Dukinfield Mining Past] :Astley Pit was sunk in 1847, and was on a slightly bigger scale with a workforce of 487 underground and 123 overground. '''Astley Pit was the deepest coal mine in Britain.''' It was sunk to a depth of 686.5 yards or 2060 feet by the time it was properly opened. These two pits together were known as “Dukinfield Collieries”.blogspot The workings of the Astley Deep Pit included the Half Moon, Cannel, Peacock and Three Sheds Mines.[https://www.nmrs.org.uk/mines-map/coal-mining-in-the-british-isles/lancashire-coalfield/manchester-coalfield/dunkinfield-colliery-1847-1901/ Lancashire Coalfield Dukinfield Colliery] :There had been several fatal accidents at the colliery:- ::'''15 July 1855''' - Four men were being wound out of the mine when they were thrown over the headstocks (the machinery at the top of the shaft which brings the cage up and down the shaft). Nine men were killed in the incident. ::'''25 March 1857''' - A falling stone killed a worker, '''Benjamin Rowson''', and in 1862 a second incident killed another miner but the man's name is not known. ::'''8 March 1870''' - An explosion in the south side of the pit resulted in national notoriety, 200 men were "benumbed" (stunned and deafened), 2 badly injured and 9 men killed. This incident was mentioned in the House of Commons on 21 April 1874, after the "deep pit disaster". Mr MacDonald called for a "Return of all the lives lost in the Astley Deep Pit, Dukinfield, with cause of the loss of life and date of the same; and, Copy of the opinion of the Inspector of the district, Mr. Wynne, on the management and state of ventilation of the Mine at the time of explosion on the 8th day of March 1870." '''This disaster is profiled [[Space:Astley_Deep_Pit_Dunkirk_Pit_Colliery_Disaster|here]].''' ::'''14 April 1874''' - An explosion caused the roof of a tunnel to cave in and demolished several tunnels in the "Black mine" (coal seam) killing 51 men and boys and injuring 91. https://wikivisually.com/wiki/Astley_Deep_Pit_disaster : There had been a raging inferno in the Half Moon Workings of the Astley Pit in the summer of 1865 that burned for several weeks. It was considered to be a potential major contributing factor for the roof cave in a decade later. “The Ashton Reporter first mentioned it on the 15th July when it had been on fire for several days and was increasing despite, ‘every exertion, day and night …. under the able management of Mr. Ray.’” to put it out. The North Cheshire Herald, on 22nd July wrote, that it was still burning.https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheHydonianChronicles :From that conflagration, there had always been worries about the safety of the roof. Miners still feared the intense heat of the fire could have fractured the roofs and walls to such an extent that they could shatter causing massive cave in. Even though the roof had had extensive additional shoring in the more precarious parts of the roof, there were periodic minor roof falls that only went to reinforce the colliers’ fears. On 14th April 1874, colliers deepest fears were tragically realised, when all the roof of the entire Half Moon level collapsed, even bringing roof collapses in new workings as well. It was nearly a full month before all the bodies were retrieved and the workings cleared. :After a series of pit disasters across the mining areas of Britain, such as in Durham and South Wales, one of which Astley Deep Pit was one of the worst, public opinion made the Government begin a committee of inquiry that led to a '''Safety in the Mines Act''', the one positive result of this disaster. :Astley Pit Deep Disaster also had reverberation, not only across the coalfields of this country, but in other coal mining districts around the world, and were as far apart as Newcastle, Northern Australia, and was written about in the New York Times and Pittsburgh Globe, USA. '''Mine Disaster Circumstances''' {{Image|file=Astley_Deep_Pit_Colliery_Disaster.jpg |align=r |size=l |caption=Day of the Disaster }} : On Tuesday 14 April 1874 the night shift of 152 men and boys arrived for work at 3pm. 61 were sent to the Engine Brow known as the Cannel Tunnel. About 7PM a few miners noticed slight falls of dirt occurring. Four men were immediately sent to make the roof safe. : The workings of Astley Deep Pit were 2500 feet beneath the surface. Half Moon Tunnel led to workings from the bottom of the main shaft. Its roof beams were failing. '''John Swindells''' and '''Timothy O'Neill''' were '''datallers''' (Pit maintenance men). They got miner '''John Carr''' and engineer '''William Hartshorn''' to help repair the roof. [http://www.carlscam.com/dukinfield/astleypit.htm AstleyPit] :At about eight o'clock Tuesday evening, part of the roof fell, blocking the tunnel about 25 yards from the main shaft. No one was injured in the fall but it released gas which had accumulated in a cavity. The miners were using "naked lights" for better illumination and this ignited an explosion which extinguished the lights and started a fire which took hold in wooden structures down the mine shaft.[http://www.carlscam.com/dukinfield/astleypit.htm AstleyPit] :'''''The fire burned for 2 days killing 54 miners in total.'' Only 7 escaped from the immediate area. An additional 91 miners were affected by the explosion.'''[http://www.carlscam.com/dukinfield/astleypit.htm AstleyPit] '''Investigation Report''' :There was an extensive inquest to try to determine the cause of the accident and identify those responsible. By the end of June, the jury decided that the cause was clear. A cavity above the Half Moon Tunnel, created by a fire several years earlier, should have either been filled or ventilated. Instead, it had been walled up, allowing gas to accumulate. The gas was released by a roof fall and ignited by a flame. The jury was unable to determine who was responsible for the root cause. No one would admit responsibility. The work had been done several years earlier and no evidence could be found. [http://www.carlscam.com/dukinfield/astleypit.htm AstleyPit] :The jury criticized three people. '''Benjamin Ashton''', the pit owner, for having employed incompetent managers and for meddling in the day to day management of the pit. '''Mr Walshaw''', pit manager, when the cavity was bricked, who either gave the order or should have known about it. '''David Holmes''', pit underlooker, for the whole period, who knew about the cavity and its potentially fatal consequences, but who failed to tell the current highly professional pit manager who learned about the cavity only after the explosion. :The House of Commons requested a special report by the Secretary of Mines about this terrible accident. In July 1874 '''Mr. T, Wynne''' reported the following conclusions: Management of the mine was an issue. During the previous twenty years, there had been nine changes in management at the colliery. Few of those men were competent to manage even a small colliery. The other issue is the defective ventilation. Even though this has been brought to the attention of management, nothing was done to correct the problem. Mr. Wynne recommended that the proprietors be compelled to change the state of ventilation and timbering of the dangerous parts of the mine and any other change necessary for the safety of those employed.The Dukinfield Colliery Explosion.

At the bottom, they began to explore the passages. They were soon joined by '''James Hilton''', the pit manager, who had remained on the surface for a time to organize help. carlscam '''''The rescuers worked in short shifts because of the dangerous working conditions. The names of only a few of these are known.''''' :Teams of volunteers continued to descend into the pit to fight the fire, open passages, improve ventilation and support the roof. Assistance was received from local pits and mills, and from Ashton-under-Lyne, Hyde and Denton fire services and police. The miners on the "right side" of the explosion were able to escape. This included ninety miners working in another part of the mine. However, the roof repair team and sixty others working at the far end of Half Moon Tunnel were not so lucky. {| border="1" cellpadding="8" ! align="center" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''Roll of Rescuers''' {| border="1" cellpadding="8" |- style="background-color: #B5B5B5; height: 20px;" ! align="left" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''''Name''''' ! align="left" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''''Occupation''''' ! align="left" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''''Sourced''''' ! align="left" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''''Bio''''' ! align="left" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''''Connected''''' ! align="left" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''''Category''''' |- ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Holmes, David ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Underlooker ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| |- ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Elce (or Else), Abraham ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Underlooker ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| |- ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Harrison, James ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Manager ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| |- ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Harrison, George ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| |- ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Swann, Elijah ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| |} |} ===Others Involved/Supporters and the Aftermath=== :The number of deaths continued to rise after 14 April. Four severely injured miners were taken to the Ashton Infirmary and all died. :On the morning of Sunday 26 April 1874 the miners of Hyde, Denton, Haughton, Flowery Field and Newtonmoor marched in procession to St.George's Church in Hyde where a special sermon was preached by the '''Rev. Mr. Read''' and a collection was made in aid of the fund that was being raised for the relief of the widows and orphans of the victims. Later that day the miners in the Ashton-under-Lyne district paid further tribute to their departed comrades by marching in procession along the principal thoroughfares of Dukinfield. They went to the Crescent Road Independent Chapel for a special service arranged for the occasion. In most of the local places of worship the calamity was the topic of sermons and at several churches collections in aid of the relief fund were made morning and evening. On Sunday the relief fund for the 32 widows and 55 children whom the explosion had thrown dependent on public benevolence amounted to nearly £1500. The Guardian (London, Greater London, England) 27 Apr 1874, Mon. Page 7 :The Miner's Union distributed funds to the relatives of the deceased for funeral expenses. A Blue Plaque was placed by Tameside Metropolitan Borough council to commemorate the accident and the men that died. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astley_Deep_Pit_disaster Astket Deep Pit Disaster] :Debate over mining accidents continued and hearings in the House of Commons instigated by Mr Macdonald were heard on 21 June 1878. The notes also included a list of accidents and their causes heard in evidence by a jury. The jury noted these statements concerning Astley Deep pit. :Of the 1870 accident - "We are of opinion that '''Elijah Swain''' is not competent to have the sole management of such a mine as this. The persons have been killed by want of good management.--The Jury." :Of the Deep pit disaster of 1874 - "That the primary cause of the explosion was the blocking up of the mouthing leading to the smithy mines. That this was an act of gross ignorance or a culpable negligence. The jury considers there is distinct evidence as to the employment of incompetent persons and placing them in authority. The jury desire to express their strong opinion that the present system of inspection is inadequate.--The Jury."

A hundred and fifty years ago this place was very different. Noisy, dusty, and dark with smoke. It is difficult to imagine the contrast. Here, men and boys made the ear popping descent down a pit shaft to spend long hours toiling in the bowels of the earth. Some didn't return alive. The blue plaque is their memorial. ===Want to Know More? === :*[http://latitude.to/articles-by-country/gb/united-kingdom/183648/astley-deep-pit-disaster GPS Coordinates of the Disaster Site] :*[https://www.routeyou.com/en-gb/location/toppoi/48041792/things-to-do-near-astley-deep-pit-disaster Things To Do Near Astley Deep Pit Disaster] ===Sources===

[[Category:This Day In History August 27]] [[Category: Bates Mine Disaster, Bates, Arkansas, 1940]] [[Category:Scott County, Arkansas]] [[Project:Disasters|Disasters]] | [[Space:Mining Disasters|Mining Disasters]] | [[Space:United_States_Mining_Disasters|United States Mining Disasters]] | [[Space:Southeast United States Mining Disasters Team|Southeast United States Mining Disasters]] | '''Bates Mine Disaster''' == History and Circumstances == * Date: Aug 27, 1940 * Location: [[:Category:Bates, Arkansas|Bates, Arkansas]] * Victims: 10 casualties * Cause: Explosion The Arkansas Western Branch of the Kansas City Southern Railroad arrived in the area in 1901. Bates township formed as a community in 1903 and by 1909 it was a thriving community of about 500 people in the western part of Scott County, Arkansas bordering Oklahoma. The Bates Coal Mining Company was one of the largest employers in the area at the time and people came from all around surrounding communities to work at the mine. "[http://www.arkansaspreservation.com/National-Register-Listings/PDF/SC0027.nr.pdf Bates Township ]", Accessed 17 Jan 2021
The land where the mine was operated was owned by Mrs. Waring of Joplin, Missouri and leased to the New Bates Smokeless Coal Company who in turned leased it to the Bates Coal Mining Company. At the time of the mining accident Bates Coal Mining Company would claim in court they had sublet it to Scott County Development Company and the mine was being operated by Arthur L. Raines, but the lease having been signed by Bates Coal Mining Company on June 12, 1940 was not signed by Arthur L. Raines until September 7, 1940 about two weeks after the accident. Bates Coal Mining Company v. Mannon Feb 8, 1943 "[https://casetext.com/case/bates-coal-mining-company-v-mannon Bates Coal Mining Company v. Mannon]" Accessed 17 Jan 2021
The explosion was the third accident to occur in the Bates mine. On November 27, 1936 five men were killed in a similar explosion and just a few months earlier in May 1940, a second explosion occurred. Fortunately, no one was working in the mine when that explosion occurred, so no lives were lost, but there was substantial damage done to the mine. The Peoples voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.), 23 Oct. 1940. Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers. Lib. of Congress. "[https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn86075189/1940-10-23/ed-1/seq-3 The Peoples Voice]" Accessed 17 Jan 2021 ===Rescue Efforts=== On August 27, 1940 at approximately 5:30 pm the third explosion occurred shortly before dark, right after the night crew had started work. They were working about 1,700 feet below the surface in a slope-type shaft. As rescue efforts began, about 200 people, half the towns population gathered outside the mine entrance waiting and hoping for word, miners would be found safe, but shortly before midnight rescue crews cleared the debris and reached the miners only to find all 10 miners had perished in the explosion. The mine manager Ben H Bedwell said all the miners had apparently died quickly in the explosion and rescue workers said it was difficult to reach the bodies because of debris from the blast. The bodies recovered from the mine were badly burned and sent to mortuaries in Hartford, Arkansas and Heavener, Oklahoma which was just a few miles east of the mine. The Evening Independent Aug 28, 1940 "[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=950&dat=19400828&id=1uFPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=rFQDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3591,1963043&hl=en The Evening Independent] " Accessed 17 Jan 2021

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longwall_mining Longwall mining] is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice in 2 to 3 foot sections, 3 inches thick.Longwall mining from Wikipedia “[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longwall_mining Longwall Mining]” Accessed 17 Jan 2021 At the time of the explosion 7 of the miners in the east tunnel died in their place and 3 from the west long wall had traveled about 600 feet before being overcome. Little damage had been done to the mine, some wooden braces and props were knocked out of place, but the bodies were recovered in fresh air. Humphrey, H. B. Historical Summary of Coal-Mine Explosions in the United States, 1810-1958, report, 1960; Washington D.C..

The report further stated,

''there are no safety organizations maintained at the mine, or any of the coal mines in the states of Arkansas and Oklahoma. The People's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.), 06 Nov. 1940. Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers. Lib. of Congress. "[https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn86075189/1940-11-06/ed-1/seq-1 The Peoples Voice]" Accessed 17 Jan 2021'' and that ''first aid or mine safety training has not yet been conducted at this mine for several years.''

Testimony from mine workers who worked in the mine said it was dangerous and lacked adequate safety protections. Booster fans in the mine to remove gas build up were improperly placed, because they were set at the bottom of the tunnel floor instead of the top. Gas that is lighter than air flows to the top, but instead of being removed it was simply recirculated around the mine.
The state mine inspector also said equipment used in the mine was not adequately maintained and on a previous inspection he had found open switches with no enclosure to prevent arcs from igniting gas. The report concluded, the explosion occurred from an arc when equipment was turned on/off or a match being struck, that ignited the gas. Their conclusion was this explosion was essentially the same as the earlier explosions and had the mine maintained self-rescue equipment, installed the recommended state rescue stations some lives might have been saved.
In addition to coping with grief, for the first time many widows and family were left with inadequate means of support, after the sudden death of their husband. Mining pensions varied widely from state to state and in many cases paid far below the newly enacted Social Security Act. The federal govermnent paid half of up to $40 dollars a month under the SSA program with state paying the rest, while mining pensions in Arkansas paid $7.14 a month.Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio), 06 Feb. 1941. Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers. Lib. of Congress. "[https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn87075008/1941-02-06/ed-1/seq-4 Morgan County Democrat]"
Several lawsuits were brought against Bates Coal Mining Company, Arthur Raines and Ben Bedwell by widows and adminstrators representing the decedents that eventually led to a juror awarding $1,500 for each individual, against Bates Coal Mining Company, but not the two named managers. Bates Coal Company appealed the decision but the appeals court upheld the lower court ruling.
This accident drew nationwide attention to safety of coal mines resulting in calls for reform and improvements to mining safety and new Federal Safety rules mandating safety requiremnts in all states. ===Victims=== {| border="1" cellpadding="8" ! align="center" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''Miners''' {| border="1" cellpadding="8" |- style="background-color: #B5B5B5; height: 20px;" ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Name''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Sourced''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Bio''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Connected''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Category''' |- ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|J.E.

'''GPS Coordinates:''' Lat: --32.855, Long: 151.318333 ---- == Summary == A fire of unknown origin associated with explosion-liberated gases caused the Bellbird disaster of 1 September 1923. The fire started immediately after the morning shift of 450 men had left the mine at 1 pm on the ‘back Saturday’. Thirty-two men worked the afternoon shift underground, with 20 engaged in No. 1 and 12 at No. 2 Workings. Afternoon shift deputy Frederick Moddie noticed smoke underground as he was proceeding down the haulage tunnel shortly after 1 pm. After sounding the alarm, he attempted to extract his men but was not seen alive again. Explosions were heard. Smoke was also seen on the surface. All 20 men in No. 1 were overcome by smoke and gas before they could reach the surface. Superintendent Jeffries went down the traveling tunnel when he arrived at 3 pm and found nine men and two horses dead. The mine was evacuated and rescue and recovery began. A party of 16 entered and brought out four bodies, whereupon another party left to recover the nine, but they heard two more explosions and detected evidence of poisonous gas. Their retreat cut off, they divided into two groups to find their way out. While feeling the effects of the gas, both parties made it out, although one man, Aberdare Manager John Brown, was badly gassed and, unable to reach the tunnel mouth, perished. More rescue attempts were made and in all, fifteen bodies were recovered, but the mine was filling with gas and smoke. That evening, further attempts were called off as too dangerous and the mine was sealed, leaving six still entombed. The next day, violent explosions shook the mine.Beauchamp, Clive, 2008.

Bishop, Va. (AP) -- An explosion at 7:50 a.m. today shook the Bishop mine on the Virginia-West Virginia border, where 37 miners were killed in a blast in February 1957. A. V. SPROLES, president of the Pocahontas Fuel Co. confirmed there is "trouble in one section of the Bishop mine." He did not say what section was involved. Later, a company spokesman said 188 men were at work in the mine. All but the 22 trapped miners emerged without injury, according to information received by the West Virginia mines director's office at Charleston. The mine entry is in Virginia although most of the underground diggins are on the West Virginia side. Virginia state mining officials said the mine is considered a West Virginia operation. The 1957 Bishop explosion came at 1:55 a.m. Monday, Feb. 4. Rescuers found the first bodies a little more than an hour later.

Gas had accumulated in these places as a result of short-circuiting of the ventilating curent, which was due to air-lock doors at the entrance to the working section having been left open. Coal dust in the iinmediate facè areas entered into the explosion and aided in its propagation.

Contact: [[Space:United_States_Mining_Disasters Team|United States Mining Disasters]] == History and Circumstances == * Date: Nov 20, 1903 * Location: [[:Category:Bonanza, Arkansas|Bonanza, Arkansas]] * Victims: 13 casualties (11 bodies recovered and identified in reports) * Cause: Explosion Bonanza roots date back to the discovery of coal in the Arkansas-Oklahoma line. The Central and Coke Company laid tracks to the area, and in 1896, as the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway, began operating in the area. Bonanza sprang up as a company town. By the time Bonanza was incorporated as a town in 1898, there were already many mines in the area (Mine #10, Mine #12, Mine #20, and Mine #26). The town lay about 8 miles south of Fort Smith, Arkansas, and as mines were opened, people began to arrive into the area for jobs, many of them immigrants. By 1900, coal in the county had entered its peak years. Almost every family in the county had someone working for the coal company, or supplying goods or services to them. Although coal mining provided good income for families, there were downsides to working in the industry. Bonanza No. 20 was one of the deepest mines in Arkansas. From the shaft-wheel to the bottom of the sump, it was 358 feet. It was also one of the finest equipped mines in the country, with all the up-to-date equipment. The mine opened around January 1900 and was in constant work since that time. The mine was owned by the Central Coal and Coke Company, who operated mines throughout Arkansas. In the mine itself, there was about 2,000 feet of track for conveying the coal from all parts of the mine to the shaft. The thickness of the vein was from 3 1/2 to 4 feet. It was estimated that about 15 acres of coal had already been removed. One of the mine's interesting features was that mules were used in the mine. When they were taken down, they never returned to the surface, unless they were crippled, killed or died. They kept a stable in one part of the mine, where stalls were located with feed boxes like you would find in any stable. A wooden floor was built for them to lay on in the stables to make them comfortable and dry. ===Rescue Efforts=== On Tuesday, November 24, 1903, it probably seemed like any other day. About hundred and seventy-five workers were in the mine working when a fire damp (fire damp is an flammable gas found in coal mines, typically coal-bed methane) explosion rocked the mine around one o'clock in the afternoon. The force of the explosion was terrific, timbers were torn from the walls for several hundred yards at the mouth of entry "K". Most of the miners were able to escape from the mine, but those working in entry "K" where the explosion occurred were trapped. Rescue efforts to find the men trapped inside were tedious and difficult, because the passageways were completely blocked from the explosion. Every able-bodied man and boy in the company's employ alongside volunteers participated in rescue efforts. It would be several hours of backbreaking work to clear the shaft before the first bodies were found. Around three p.m., the first of five men were found dead and taken out of the mine. They were Bob Drysdale, Mike Walkie, Ira Strickland, William Doyle Moore, and Bruce John Brown, grandpa, father of Pit Boss Louis Brown. The others trapped in the mind remained unknown. Initial reports were fourteen men missing, but the exact number of people in the mine was unknown, so the true number of those trapped was speculative. Nevertheless, the work of searching and taking out the bodies amidst the mass of debris continued. Hope of finding survivors diminished, as those brought out were in some cases severely burned and difficult to identify. The scenes outside the mine were heartbreaking and difficult to witness, as hundreds of women and children were harshly exposed to the fear and calamity of grown men involved in the rescue, giving way to their feelings and grieving in the open with sobs and wailing of horrors being revealed. There was no one at the scene who was not immediately impacted by the fear of what was yet to come while dealing with the fate of those found. Many of them bonded by ties of blood or friendship. One can only imagine the difficulty of waiting to hear any news about your loved ones, while having to bear the grief of those around you hearing the news of loved ones lost. The whole camp at No. 20 was oppressed with fearful calamity. As work continued, more bodies were brought out of the mine. William Kehoe, John Wesley Pettit, Fred Arnold, Joe Carr, Paul Walton, and Paul Witton. All the men working in entry "K" were killed, where it was thought the explosion occurred. They were all either killed from the blast, gas or black damp (suffocating mixture of carbon dioxide and other unbreathable gases). The official death toll was set at thirteen when the rescue efforts were complete. Initially, it was thought fourteen were trapped. Two of the men who died in the explosion cannot be identified now, as they were new men. There appears to be some doubt about which of them were sent into entry K. Their names may never be known to us. ===Results and Findings=== The explosion was thought to have occurred from an open lamp igniting the gas in the mine. The coroner opened an inquest to investigate the cause of the explosion, after reports circulated about the gas explosion and the negligence of the company in not properly providing safe working conditions for the men working in entry "K". In the inquest, State Mining Inspector Rafferty testified he recently examined the mine, and he had complimented the pit boss on its excellent condition. He also said there was no accumulation of gas and the mine had good ventilation. Inspector Rafferty's theory was that an accidental shot caused the explosion to fire in room eleven, which blew out the curtain and shut off the air supply, suffocating all but three men. He also suggested a committee of disinterested men were sent into the mine to make an inspection. Fire Boss Jim Mullen of the Cherokee Construction Company for mines at Montreal, and Fire Boss Jim Pudlas from Mine No. 18 in Jenny Lind. Both of these men testified in the inquest that the mine was free from gas and perfect ventilation. Therefore, agreeing with Inspector Rafferty's theory of the explosion. The coroner inquest concluded in the face of testimony, provided there was only one verdict the jury could render. In this inquest, he stated "It has been reported that room had been marked on account of an accumulation of gas. This is not true as the air in that room is as pure as that in any other." The inquest returned a verdict exonerating the Central Coal and Coke Company from any blame in connection with the accident. Colonel Ira D. Oglesby brought the news of the finding to families and residences of Bonanza. The residents of the community were not satisfied with the expressed opinions of Mine Inspector Rafferty or the results of the coroner's inquest. ===Victims=== {| border="1" cellpadding="8" ! align="center" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''Miners''' {| border="1" cellpadding="8" |- style="background-color: #B5B5B5; height: 20px;" ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Name''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Sourced''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Bio''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Connected''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Category''' |- ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[[Drysdale-1123|Robert Drysdale]] ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Yes ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Yea ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Yes ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|died in explosion |- ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|[[Strickland-5015|Ira James Strickland]] ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Yes ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Yes ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Yes ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|died in explosion |- ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[[Kehoe-842|William V.

[http://www.gendisasters.com/alberta/12394/nordegg-ab-brazeau-mine-explosion-nov-1941 Transcription of Newspaper Report]. An attempt has been made to confirm the names using [https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2436958/memorial-search?firstName=&lastName=&page=1#sr-132632169 Find-A-Grave photos]. There appear to be two individuals who remain unknown. ===Rescue Efforts=== A rescue crew consisting of fellow miners went back into the mine as soon as the fumes had cleared. 30 workers were found in one section and were evacuated safely. The explosion did not cause extensive damage, apart from the site of the initial cave-in. ===Results and Findings=== Alberta chief mines inspector, Andrew Millar, was quoted saying ‘original detonating cause could have been a shot – that is, from an electric detonator used to knock the coal down’. An inquiry in 1942 blamed Brazeau Collieries, saying the company was negligent and indicated that pit bosses often failed to test for gases before setting off explosives to separate coal from its seams. Justice Albert Freeman Ewing, is quoted as saying “There was on the part of all officials actively engaged in the operation of the mine a general disregard for safety provisions of the Mines Act and a general indifference to, and contempt for, the dangers incident to gas accumulations in the mine.” ===Sources=== *Article: [https://www.pressreader.com/canada/edmonton-journal/20121031/281530813279755 Edmonton Journal, Oct. 31, 1941: Mine Explosion kills 29 men]

Situated alongside the Ringarooma River, the BriseisNamed after Briseis, the Australian Thoroughbred filly who as a three-year-old won the 1876 Melbourne Cup by three lengths in record time. hydraulic tin mine was one of the richest and most profitable tin mines in the world, employing hundreds and exporting millions of tonnes of tin around the world. But days of torrential rain capped by a 125mm deluge falling in an hour and a half on the catchment of the nearby Cascade Dam, culminated at 4 pm with the failure of the dam wall and a 32-metre high wall of water surged down the valley, inundating the mine workings and engulfing several houses and other buildings in the town.[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/67821995 “BRISEIS DISASTER – WALL OF WATER FIFTY FEET IN HEIGHT”], Advocate (Burnie, Tas.: 1890 - 1954), Wed 19 Jun 1929, Page 5.Writer, Larry, 2011, "Australian Book of Disasters", Murdoch Books Australia, Australia, pages 51-59.

Per the ''Advocate'' of Thursday 20 June 1929[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/67822081?browse=ndp%3Abrowse%2Ftitle%2FA%2Ftitle%2F46%2F1929%2F06%2F20%2Fpage%2F5832941%2Farticle%2F67822081 “BRISEIS DAM DISASTER – DEATH DUE TO ACCIDENTAL DROWNING”], trove, Advocate (Burnie, Tas.: 1890 - 1954), Thu 20 Jun 1929, Page 5.:

The jury, after an absence of 35 minutes, returned the following verdict: That the deaths were caused through drowning in a rush of water down the Cascade River and over the Briseis mine workings following the bursting of the Briseis Company’s dam; and that the bursting of the dam was the result of an abnormal and unprecedented volume of water, which might have been caused by a cloudburst, or by an extraordinary rainfall in the catchment. No blame was attachable to any one.

== Research Notes == Bodies recovered by 20 June 1929: *Samuel Brodley Cave, married *Hector Michael M'Cormack (1903-1929), recovered 6 km from the mine, married to Myrtle, two children (Sarah and James) Recovered later: *Gordon Good, about 28, miner, married, one child (probably 1 September 1936)[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/30103820 "BODY IN MINE-THE BRISEIS DISCOVERY"], The Mercury (Hobart, Tas.: 1860 - 1954), Tue 3 Sep 1935, Page 5. *William Bracey, 62, miner, married, grown family (probably 5 September 1936)[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/86573648 "BODY OF ANOTHER BRISEIS VICTIM FOUND"], Advocate (Burnie, Tas.: 1890 - 1954), Thu 5 Sep 1935, Page 2. In all, 27 Tasmanians lost their lives during flooding caused by the unprecedented heavy rains. The two most lethal landslides in Australia were both debris flows, the Breisis Dam Disaster and the Thredbo, NSW landslide of 30 July 1997.Michael-Leiba, M., 2013, [https://knowledge.aidr.org.au/media/2299/ajem-28-01-07.pdf “Impact of landslides in Australia to December 2011”], Australian Journal of Emergency Management, Vol. 28, No. 1, pp. 30-36.

The Briseis Dam Disaster, Derby, northeast Tasmania happened on 4 April 1929 and killed 14 people. Rainfall of 450mm during the previous two days, followed by 125mm in the catchment in 1.5 hours, caused the rock-filled concrete Briseis Dam on the Cascade River to burst, releasing a wall of water six metres high. The water raced down the river gully, sweeping away a house and killing the family of five, as well as a five-year-old girl. It then cut a channel 30 metres deep and 64 metres wide through a low hill in its path. It demolished stables in its path, killing three people and 12 horses. The torrent was 180 metres wide and tree logs were deposited over 21 metres above normal river level. The width was evident from the gouged-out channel left behind, and the main road was obliterated. By cutting through the low hill, the river’s course was permanently changed to follow the channel gouged out by the torrent.

The wave of water at Derby was four metres high, however a rocky outcrop on its outskirts saved the town. The flood was diverted, striking a mining tailings hill about 60 metres high and carrying away half the hill, leaving a sand cliff. Three people lost their lives and several houses were swept away, including the Briseis Company’s powerhouse and offices. Two bridges on the Ringarooma River, one on each side of Derby, were destroyed and the Briseis tin mine was flooded. It did not resume operations for five years after the event. Many people were homeless, two cars were lost, the furniture in flooded houses was damaged, and the recreation ground outbuildings demolished. A total of six houses were destroyed at Derby, and fences were destroyed and houses flooded at nearby Branxholm. Fourteen people were killed in the 4.8km between the Briseis Dam and Derby. The torrent had carried thousands of tonnes of trees, rocks, gravel and boulders. A 10-tonne granite boulder was moved 3km.

No fire followed the explosion and the ventilating apparatus was fortunately unharmed by the shock. :The rescue parties found a scene of destruction that left no doubt as to the fate of the men. First bodies recovered were in fairly good condition, the men having been smothered to death and not mangled by the explosion but as the party pushed on they found bodies so mutilated that they were unrecognizable. Cars and debris of all description had been tossed about by the explosion. The rescue party worked without interruption all night, while women, children and men formed to the darkness a shadowy ring which never left the mouth of the shaft. ===Results and Findings=== :This mine is reputed to be gaseous and black powder was taken into the mine areas where ventilation was poor. The black powder found an accumulation of gas and caused an explosion. :The evidence seems to point to an ignition of gas with the resuIting local explosion spread by the flame coming into contact with black powder.

One of the miners escaped by climbing up the pit shaft by getting hold of the wire which was only an inch thick. *In a fairly recent publication (1996) [https://www.nmrs.org.uk/assets/pdf/BM57/BM57-92-105-accidents.pdf Accidents in The Flintshire and Denbighshire Lead mines] it states:-
''The worst accident in a 19th century lead mine in Flintshire and Denbighshire before the mine inspectors' reports began was at Bryngwiog, Halkyn, in 1862 in which 16 miners were killed when they accidentally broke into old, flooded, workings. The men killed in the accident varied in age from 14 to 66.

[[Category:Bulli Mine Disaster, New South Wales, 1887]] __NOTOC__ ---- [[Project:Disasters|Disasters Project]] | [[Space:Mining Disasters|Mining]] | [[Space:Australia_Mining_Disasters_Team|Australia]] | Bulli Mine Disaster 1887 === Bulli Colliery Explosion, 1887 === ---- '''Map Co-ordinates:''' 34° 20′ 03″ South and 150° 54′ 48″ East
'''GPS Coordinates:''' Lat: -34.3341667° and Long: 150.9133333° ---- == Summary == The Bulli Coal Company opened a mine in 1862 on the escarpment above Bulli, New South Wales and built cottages to house miners and their families. The first trade union in the Illawarra region was formed by miners at Bulli in 1879, and the company promptly sacked the workers. But by 1887, the Bulli Colliery was being worked by union miners alongside untrained labor. Many industrial disputes resulted in showdowns between unionized miners and “blacklegs” (scab labor imported from Sydney). A dispute over a reduction of wages, which began in 1886, was finally resolved in February 1887, only a month before the explosion. At about 2:30 pm on 23 March 1887, a gas explosion blew out of the tunnel mouth, throwing an unconscious boy about 100 yards out of the mine and killing 81 men and boys within. The explosion blew out supports and caved in parts of the mine. Other than 17-year-old Herbert Cope, there were no survivors. Some men were killed by the blast, some by rockfalls, while others were asphyxiated by the poisonous atmosphere. The Coroner's Inquest was scathing of company management.[https://www.resourcesregulator.nsw.gov.au/safety/safety-events-and-education-programs/learning-from-disasters/learning-from-disasters/1887 “1887 Bulli Colliery Explosion Case Study”], NSW Government, Resources Regulator, Safety, Safety events and education programs, Learning from disasters, Learning from disasters timeline. Each year on March 23rd, the Black Diamond District Heritage Centre Museum, in conjunction with St Augustines Anglican Church Bulli, NSW, conducts a commemoration of the 1887 Disaster, which remains Australia's second worst Industrial Disaster. Please note - where March 23rd falls on a Saturday in which case it is conducted on March 22nd, or if it falls on a Sunday, in which case the commemoration is conducted on March 24th. Often local school students read out the names of the 81 victims. A local men's choir, the Arcadians Lamp Lighters often perform during the commemoration. Generally descendants and relatives of the victims attend the commemoration, and on occasions they may also speak. Reverend Hugh Walker Taylor, the Parish Minister at the time of the Disaster, is also remembered for the service he rendered in the burials, to the relatives of the victims and also to the Bulli community.

At their peak, 300 people worked in their coal mine.Webmaster.

See the website for pictures of the overgrown buildings in 2013 as well as the mine in 1912. It was owned by the South Prairie Coal Company. 70 miners perished over the forty-seven year period that the mine was in operation. Their mines were seen as "some of the deadliest mines in the state." The Burnett mines were closed for good in 1927, after producing 3.6 million tons of coal. === Mine Disaster Circumstances === : An explosion rocked the mining town of Burnett when an explosion went off at about 3 o'clock in the nearby mine. Forty workers were starting to leave at the end of their shift when the rumbling was felt.News staff.

A search party was immediately organized and the townspeople worked for eight hours to recover eleven of the bodies. Caving walls and noxious gases endangered the rescuers. The brave searchers continued until almost midnight. Hundreds of people went to the site the following day, as "an air of profound gloom pervaded the little town." Twelve of the sixteen killed had their bodies recovered. The remaining four were not expected to be recovered.News staff.

His story was only one of many that took a tragic turn that December 4th. ===Results and Findings=== : The cause of the explosion was not clearly evident. The theory was that the fire damp was responsible for the explosion. About forty men were working when the tragedy occurred. At least sixteen men perished in the Burnett No. 5 mine.

The only survivor was the foreman, Joseph "Joe" Forsyth. Joe had been trapped beneath the collapsed layers and was badly burned about the head and body.

Owen, was still on his way. The coroner's decision was not to hold an inquest until all the bodies were recovered, which was not expected to happen. The four remaining bodies were recovered on the 9th of December.News staff.

[The mine is incorrectly identified as Number 16.] Seventeen deaths were originally reported. The final number was '''{{Blue|twenty-four}}'''. With two of those names being possible duplicates, the minimum amount of souls lost was twenty-two. The Burnett mines remained open until 1927.

At the time of the Disaster in 1858, the mine was leased from Messrs Sims, Williams, Nevill and Co. by [[Francis-8883|Daniel Francis]], a victim of the disaster, [[Francis-8577|John Francis]], Daniel Davies, George Davies and Hector Rees. Two of the victims of the accident were brothers, Daniel and Benjamin Samuel aged just 14 and 12 respectively. None of the newspaper reports of the time mention that they were brothers, but their final resting place can be found at Adulam Baptist Chapel, Felinfoel, Llanelli where they are buried together with their father Thomas and their brothers [[Samuel-1108|John Samuel]] and Thomas Samuel. [[Samuel-1108|John Samuel]], who was almost blind, was also working in the mine that day but managed to escape the inrush with David Thomas and John Bowen. Unfortunately [[Samuel-1108|John Samuel]] also died a few months later in another mining accident at Bryngwyncoch colliery. The disaster was reported in The Welshman newspaper at the time and a detailed report was published of the Inquest on the victims in the newspaper on the 3rd December 1858. A disturbing aspect of the accident which is revealed in the inquest is that the owners of the mine had failed to ensure that the there were plans available that showed the position of the workings of the mine against the workings of a previous mine (the California mine). Also the owners were not utilising at technique called "boring" which probed the area they were working with small holes to check for water. It was due to not following this process that the workings broke through into the California mine and caused an inrush of water that quickly flooded the Cae workings and trapped the ten victims underground. Although there were tremendous efforts following the the flooding to pump out the water by rescuers at the surface, which included borrowing larger pumps from other mine owners in the vicinity, it took until the 16th November to sufficiently drain the workings for rescuers to search for the ten trapped men. They were further hampered by the foul air present in the mine and had to wait approximately twelve hours for the foul air to vent itself and be replaced with fresh air. From the report of the inquest, [[Francis-8883|Daniel Francis]] was not only a part owner and a victim, but he was also the person on who all the other miners relied upon for his knowledge as to the closeness of the Cae workings to the California workings. He is described as being the the last person who worked in the "old" works (California) and hence his assumed knowledge as to the closeness of the two workings. Following all the evidence provided at the inquest, the jury returned the following verdict. * "We find a verdict of Accidental Death caused by the ignorance of Daniel Francis, one of the deceased, in not using precautionary means of boring and keeping plans of the workings" The verdict applied to all the ten victims. At the end of the inquest, the Foreman announced that a subscription had been set up for the benefit of the wives and families of the victims. A donation of £20 had been made by [[Nevill-24|Richard Janion Neville]] as well as other local gentlemen. The jury also agreed to donate their Crown Fee as did the Coroner and others involved in the proceedings entitled to Crown payments. Mining at Cae Colliery ceased in 1894 at which time it was operated by Nevill Druce & Co, ====Sticker template==== {{Mining Disasters|text= died in the [[Space:Cae_Colliery_Disaster_1858|Cae Colliery]] disaster|date=3-November 1858}} {{Mining Disasters|text= died in the [[Space:Cae_Colliery_Disaster_1858|Cae Colliery]] disaster|date=3-November 1858}} ====Category==== [[Category:Cae Colliery Disaster, Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, 1858]] == Research == William Harry is named in the newspaper reports of the disaster as being one of the victims. The GRO index of deaths for 1858 does not list a William Harry aged 17, but does list a William Henry aged 17. This may indicate that both sources may have misspelled the name so further evidence is required to identify William and his family. Researching the census data for 1851 and 1861 to locate a William Harry or Henry that is of the correct age and is present in 1851 and not 1861, identifies the following records "England and Wales Census, 1851," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SGZQ-4F3 : 8 November 2019), William Harry in household of David Harry, Llanelly, Carmarthenshire, Wales; citing Llanelly, Carmarthenshire, Wales, p. 48, from "1851 England, Scotland and Wales census," database and images, findmypast (http://www.findmypast.com : n.d.); citing PRO HO 107, The National Archives of the UK, Kew, Surrey. and "England and Wales Census, 1861," database with images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M7HF-VKL : 13 August 2020), David Harry, Llanelly, Carmarthenshire, Wales, United Kingdom; from "1861 England, Scotland and Wales census," database and images, findmypast (http://www.findmypast.com : n.d.); citing PRO RG 9, The National Archives, Kew, Surrey..

"Carbonado - Thumbnail History" ([https://www.historylink.org/File/20505 historylink.org]), as viewed 5 February 2020. In 1879 Richard D. Chandler, a San Francisco investor, purchased the Carbon River Coal Mining Company's claim. Charles Crocker, the cofounder of the Central Pacific Railroad and controller of the Southern Pacific Railroad, was so impressed with the Carbonado coal operation that he bought the town and the mines in 1881. : Carbon Hill Coal Company continued to make improvements and expand the mine. Mules were replaced by steam engines to hoist the materials into the mine. A second railroad spur was built in 1888. Approximately 400 men had been given work by the mine. By the 1890s the mines were the first to be illuminated with electricity. === Mine Disaster Circumstances === {{Image|file=M_Silva_WikiTree_Space-79.jpg |align=l |size=300 |caption=A Miner's home in Carbonado }} : On the 7th of December 1899 the morning shift (2 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.) showed up for work as the evening shift was preparing to go home.Staff.

About eighty men (or more) were in the mine at the time. The foreman gave the "all clear" signal and a small team prepared an explosive charge to dislodge a load of coal. The ensuing explosion shook the mine and sent the miners scrambling. Those who could escape fled to the surface, many of which were "knocked senseless." Word spread quickly and the off-duty miners raced to the mine to assist with rescue efforts. It was several hours before the rescuers could enter the mine. At that time they thought all the miners were dead and the families flocked around the shaft hoping to hear different. People seemed "too dazed for any expression of grief of a demonstrative nature." :* ''Women--the wives of the men supposed to be in the shaft--ran to and fro screaming and wringing their hands with anguish, crying children clinging to their skirts.'' :* ''Groans of the dying and wounded were heard on every hand.

Several were overcome by the after-damp which resulted in further deaths. Ten additional men were pulled out through the debris using ropes. The wounded, once lifted out by ropes, were carried a mile or more down the steep incline and then to the town of Carbonado. Some were carried on stretchers, others on horseback. Seventy-six men had been employed in that shift, working from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The explosion was said to have occurred between 10 and 11 a.m.. The foreman, Jonah H. Davies, escaped unhurt. Those who had escaped the explosion were anxious to return to the shaft to rescue fellow miners. Once allowed in it took "no time at all" to get the dead and the wounded up to the surface. :* ''As I passed down the timbered shoot I saw men lying dead in bunches of two and three, but I paid no attention to them, for I had gone down to rescue live men, and not bring out bodies.'' :* ''This dismal solemn procession of men, just alive, was certainly one of the most terrible sights a human being could be called upon to witness. Only the weird light of a few lanterns and miners' lamps lighted the pathway to enable the wounded and those assisting them to find their way down the mountainside. Strong men wept as they beheld this parade of blood and death.'' :* ''The scenes at the hospital were pitiful. Men whose clothing was almost burned from their bodies were laid out as fast as they arrive, their eyebrows and hair singed and their faces black and bleeding.

There was no separation of race or class on this horrific night as the miners were all bound together by this tragic fate. Watt Jones, at age thirty-five, had been the last living child of his widowed mother. His three brothers had all been killed in coal mine accidents. A few years before her daughter and grandchild, the only living relatives, had been killed by a falling tree. Mrs. Meredith, the wife of Howell Meredith, feared that she had lost both her husband and son. Her husband perished after returning to the shaft to find their son who was later found alive and rescued. These were just two examples of the many townspeople who were surrounded by their neighbors, their mining "family," offering consolation. ===Results and Findings=== : The miners that escaped estimated that at least fifty people had died. At the minimum, thirty-three men perished in the tragic explosion at the No. 7 mine. Governor John Rogers (1838-1901) quickly gathered a committee and traveled to the scene. Also there were the County sheriff, the coroner, and a number of state officials. The mine wasn't declared clear of gas until 9 o'clock that evening. The rescue teams entered finding no survivors where the blast occurred. Thirty-three men they had worked alongside had lost their lives in the explosion. Forty-two people had escaped; five with injuries.Staff.

Two of the survivors were not rescued until the following morning, having been entombed in the mine all night. Nobody blamed the mine as this was considered to be a common hazard. With so many miners to account for the initial list of thirty-three missing men was thought to be "defective." Incidents such as these were why the mines later made metal name discs for the miners to take with them when they went into the mine. After returning to the surface they placed their name tab back on the board. : It had been theorized that a small pocket of gas had opened, ignited, and caused the explosion. Early on the Superintendent Davies expressed disbelief in this theory. The investigation that followed determined that twenty-year-old Ben Zedler had triggered the explosion when he opened his headlamp to light a pipe. This had ignited flammable gas that set off a nearby dynamite charge. Relief efforts from around the county sent support to the victims families. A memorial service was held on the 12th of December 1899 at the local cemetery, where most of the miners were buried. == In Memorium == :''See the [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Carbon_Hill_No._7_Mine_Disaster%2C_Carbonado%2C_Washington%2C_1899 category] for a list of the men that died, or were injured, in the mine explosion. === Men That Died === {| border="1" cellpadding="8" align="left" style="margin-left: 25px;" ! align="center" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''Miners''' {| border="1" cellpadding="8" |- style="background-color: #B5B5B5; height: 20px;" ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Name''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Sourced''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Bio''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Connected''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Category''' |- ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Paul Curtiss ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| |- ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Richard Dape/Dare/Durr,^ɫ§ 27, married, "one of the finest young men living here.

This was a distressing accident for all involved, made worse because the removal of all the bodies proved to be difficult and lengthy. The last body, that of Charles Palmer, was finally removed from the pit seven weeks later in an advanced state of decomposition.

The accident occurred in the Parkgate coal seam, which was 410 yard below the surface. The seam was 4 foot 6 inches thick and dipped at a gradient of one in four and a half towards old, disused workings at the Aldwark Colliery. These working were known to be flooded and careful monitoring was taking place to ensure the safety of the men working in the area. Never the less, things went dreadfully wrong. {{Image|file=Carr_House_Colliery_Mine_Disaster-2.jpg |align=c |size=l |caption=Pumping House at Carr House Colliery }} The method used to prevent the water entering the Carr House workings was to drill a series of boreholes at regular distances and at least 18 feet in advance of the workings. These could then be used to safely drain away the water. This method complied with Section 68 of the 1911 Coal Mines Act. The work was supervised by '''[[Finken-16|Mr. C. W. T. Finken]]''', the pit manager. On the day before the flooding, a deputy, '''[[Moxon-150|Albert Moxon]]''', had inspected the heading at about 6.30am and found that one of the boreholes was too large to be plugged or hold a pipe satisfactorily, and so another hole had been drilled a few inches away. As this was 21 feet in advance of the workings, the colliers were allowed to fill coal and advance the face another 4 feet. Another deputy, '''Frank Lee''', was working the following evening. '''John Banns''' and '''Charles Palmer''' were working under his instruction. Later in the shift, John Banns noticed a trickling of water and informed deputy '''George Ackroyd''', who had now taken over supervision of the work. Ackroyd immediately informed '''Mr Finken''', who stopped the working, and advised the men to watch the water and if it increased, to evacuate the area. The water increased slightly and on hearing a "clucking noise" the men left the area, first walking and then running to the pit bottom, collecting other workers on their way. There followed and inrush of water and unfortunately 8 men lost their lives when they were unable to escape. === Newspaper Reports === There are many newspaper accounts of accident available from the time, but all tell a similar story.

Globe - London, London, England - 17 June 1913 RACE FOR LIFE IN FLOODED COLLIERY. Globe - London, London, England - 17 June 1913 Image available [https://search.findmypast.co.uk/bna/viewarticle?id=bl%2f0001652%2f19130617%2f111 Find My Past] A serious colliery accident occurred at Rotherham during the night, when Carr House Colliery was flooded and eight lives lost. The disaster occurred in the Parkgate seam which is 440 yards from the surface. The men were getting coal when the water suddenly burst into the working place. All the men employed there immediately made a rush towards safety, but only three were able to get away. There was practically no means of escape for the unfortunate miners, the water cutting off the road to a higher level. The men who succeeded in getting clear had to race for their lives before the rapidly rising water. One man escaped by swimming to safety. and another ran through the water, but a comrade three yards behind was overtaken by the flood. The three men raised an alarm and Mr. Fincken, manager, at once descended. He found it was impossible to do anything as the water continued to gain ground, although the pumps were working full pressure. On retuning to the surface he announced that there was no hope of rescue. Many of the miners who were arriving for the night shift volunteered for rescue work, but the mines manager, realising that it would only mean further loss of life, declined to allow them to descend. Carr House colliery is an old pit surrounded by several disused pits, which are full of water. The presence of water had been suspected, but the management believed they had taken all precautions. One of the survivors, Wilfred Libster, in an interview, described the sudden inrush of water and said somebody shouted "run." He commenced to run followed by a mate named Rogers. The water was rising rapidly behind them. He spurted forward, a strong draught of air behind assisting him to safety. Rogers was overtaken by the water and drowned. Rescue operations may be attempted later in the day, but no hope is entertained of bringing out the men alive.

The Sheffield Daily Telegraph 18 June 1913 not only gives an account of the accident, but also describes a visit by the reporter to the homes of some of the victims. It not only gives some insight into the grief experienced by the families, but also paints a picture of the living conditions of South Yorkshire miners at that time. (Attached PDF) Find My Past. Image available [https://search.findmypast.co.uk/bna/viewarticle?id=bl%2f0000250%2f19130618%2f346 Sheffield Daily Telegraph 18 June 1913] ==The Inquest == Six weeks after the disaster, seven of the bodies had been recovered and the inquest by district coroner '''Mr J Kenyon Parker''' lasted for two days and concluded hearing evidence at the West Riding Court in Rotherham, on Wednesday 29 July. The hearing found that there was a sight discrepancy in the colliery plans. The bottom of the Aldwarke drips were about three feet above the Carr House heading instead of a few feet below it. This meant that the barrier was only three feet and this had given way due to the water pressure. One of the senior mines inspectors present, '''Mr [[Mottram-221|Thomas H. Mottram]]''', said it was a mistake by the management of the pit to allow the heading to be driven so near to the Aldwarke drips where there was a know accumulation of water and that a single borehole 'driven from a considerable distance could have tapped the water entirely without risk to anyone'. The jury confirmed that each of the seven deaths was due to drowning by an inrush of water from the Aldwarke working, because the boreholes missed such workings. The jury also found that the system of boreholes was not sufficient and that this was an error of judgement - though not negligence - on the part of the management of the colliery. :PEACE PERFECT PEACE Commemorative Serviette {{Image|file=Palmer-12617.jpg |align=r |size=m }} :In health an strength they left their homes, :Not thinking death so near; :It pleased the Lord to bed them come :An in His sight appear. :Death to them short warning gave, :Therefore be careful how you live, :Prepare in time, make no delay, :for who may know their dying day. :In prime of years they were cut down, :No longer could they stay; :Because it was their Saviour's will. :To call them hence away. :The have gone - the grave has received :"Twas Jesus who called them away: :The have gone to the Lord, who redeemed :From night to the splendour of day. == Sources == *[https://web.archive.org/web/20160316134124/http:/cmhrc.co.uk/cms/document/1911_13.pdf Wayback Machine] *South Yorkshire Mining Disasters: v. 2: The Twentieth Century Paperback – 19 Nov 2009 by Brian Elliott (Author)

It was owned by the St. Paul Coal Company, and had been in operation since 1905. On November 13, 1909, a fire spread through the mine; efforts to stop the fire only made it worse. 259 miners, most of them immigrants, died in the mine. 21 miners survived for eight days, after blocking themselves off from the fire and gases; 1 of these died after rescue. According to the U. S. Department of Labor, this was the third worst coal mining disaster in U.S. history.

== Results and Findings== The fire was determined to have been caused by a coal car, filled with hay for the mules working underground, being placed underneath kerosene torch. By the time the flames in the hay were put out, the pine timbers inside the shafts had begun to catch fire. As a result of the Cherry Mine fire and deaths, the Illinois legislature passed stronger regulations over mine safety, and the beginnings of the state's Worker's Compensation program.[http://www.illinoislaborhistory.org/cherry-mine-disaster.html Illinois Labor History Society] == Sources == *[http://livinghistoryofillinois.com/pdf_files/Report%20on%20the%20Cherry%20mine%20disaster,%201910.pdf Cherry Mine Disaster, pages 36-45] for Table of Victims * Memorial of the 50th Anniversary of the Cherry Mine Disaster, 1909-1959.

[[Category: Cumnock Mine Disaster, Cumnock, North Carolina, 1895]][[Category:North Carolina, Mining Disasters]] [[Project:Disasters|Disasters]] | [[Space:Mining Disasters|Mining Disasters]] | [[Space:United_States_Mining_Disasters|United States Mining Disasters]] | [[Space:Southeast United States Mining Disasters Team|Southeast United States Mining Disasters]] | '''Cumnock Mine Disaster''' ===History and Circumstances=== '''Area History''' :: The Piedmont area of North Carolina where the Deep River Coal Field is located was part of Chatham County initially. In 1907 that section of Chatham County and a part of Moore County were brought together to form Lee County, named for CSA general, Robert E. Lee. This area is now located in Lee County. https://leecountync.gov/LeeCountyHistory/EstablishmentofLeeCounty :: Indians traveled across Chatham County long before it became established. Stone arrowheads found by early farmers as they cleared or plowed land was the most common evidence of their presence. Records show that the first settlers arriving in the mid-1700’s were primarily of European origin. They mostly migrated from the north or up the Cape Fear River valley from the southeast. The early settlers were concerned primarily with agricultural pursuits. https://www.ccucc.net/EarlyHistoryofChathamNC :: The area surrounding the town of Farmville was first settled in the mid 1760s. Their numbers were small and were mostly farmers by trade. The first recorded structure inside the current town limits was a log cabin built about 1840. In the 1850s a church and a school were built. The town of Farmville was incorporated in 1872. https://www.farmvillenc.gov/about/history :: There were three towns within a five mile band, Egypt, Gulf and Farmville. Egypt was renamed Cumnock in 1915 and Farmville was renamed Coal Glen after 1915. All of this to try to clear up confusion about the naming of the mines. '''Mine History''' :: Initially there was an effort to work the surface outcroppings of coal by the local plantation owner in Chatham County. The property was purchased about 1851 by a group that brought in geologists and a shaft was sunk. Hairr,John. ''Coal Mine Disasters of North Carolina''. Charleston,SC:The History Press, 2017, p 15 Egypt Coal Mine opened in 1856 in Chatham County (in a section that is now part of Lee County). http://www.ncmarkers.com/Markers.aspx?MarkerId=H-41 :: There were several accidents in the mine prior to 1895 that are not included in the list of disasters because the names of the miners are not known or there were too few casualties. The first was 20 Feb 1857 when six miners were killed by an explosion of firedamp. Only a few months later, on 6 April 1857 there was another explosion that killed five miners. This one was also an explosion due to firedamp. The names of the miners are known but the number of fatalities is too low. Hairr, p 19 :'''Mine Disaster Circumstances''' :: On the morning of 19 December 1895, there were 2 shifts – half of the men working 7am – 7pm and the other half 7pm – 7am. Before either shift was allowed to enter the mine it was the duty of a man, called the “gas man” or the “fire boss” to inspect and examine thoroughly every part of the mine to determine if the air was all right –if there was any danger of an explosion. On that Thursday at 7am the “gas man”, '''Mr. Mills''' examined the mine and reported everything was all right. Then 66 men descended into the mine. Within a little over an hour, 40 of them were dead. :: The main shaft is 465 feet deep. The cage or car only holds 12 people. The uninjured miners – 26 men – were brought to the surface and volunteers were called for to enter the mine to rescue the others. Some time passed before the rescue party went down as it was considered too dangerous. The superintendent of the mine, '''Mr. George F. Cant''' finally persuaded a few men to accompany him but they found only the dead. :: The mine is divided into three parts or “slopes” and are known as Slope No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. The explosion occurred in Slope No. 1 where 37 men were working and all were killed. In Slope No. 2 there were 11 men working and only 2 were killed with 4 or 5 wounded. In Slope No. 3 there were 18 men working and none were killed or seriously injured. '''Investigation Report''' :: The following day an inquest was held. '''Dr. H.T. Chapin''', county coroner summoned a jury. The officers of the mine aided the coroner and jury in determining if the deceased were killed through the criminal negligence of any person or persons. No negligence could be discovered. Witnesses included: :: '''E. H. Davis''' (underground boss in the Egypt Coal Mine) He stated the mine was well ventilated and in good condition. :: '''George F. Cant''' (mine superintendent) He testified that ventilation was strong. The cause of the explosion was a mystery. No dynamite was exploded. :: '''Alfred Cox''' (miner for 5 years in Egypt mine). He testified that the ventilation was better now. '''Mr. Mills''' (the gas man) is as good as could be. :: '''D.E. Teusch''' (miner) had worked in this mine in January 1895 and stayed for 6-8 weeks. He had been a miner for 22 years and had worked in mines in 13 states and Canada. He quit because of the “officiousness” of the boss. The other reason was the bad ventilation. Mr. Mills is a very careful man but Mr. Teusch did not think he fully understood the ventilation of the mine. He stated there is no law in NC protecting the miner or compelling the mine owner to ventilate their mines. He stated that he knew miners who refused to work in this mine because of the danger. He made a plea to the Legislature to pass a law to protect the miners. :: '''G.B Hart''' (miner) He worked Slope No. 3. He quit working in Slope No. 1 last December because of the danger. Slope No. 3 has adequate air and ventilation. He stated that the boss in No. 1 did not manage the ventilation :: '''James Poe''' (miner) was working Slope No 2. The mine was in good condition in his section. Two miners died out of 11 in his Slope. :: After a short consultation, the jury rendered the following verdict: “that Charles Poe and other miners came to their death by an explosion in the Cumnock Coal Mine Dec. 19th 1895 by explosion of gas, the cause of said explosion being to us unknown, it being shown to us that the mine was in better condition than usual and was well ventilated." :: All bodies were recovered and were buried at the expense of the mine owners. The two miners from Pennsylvania were sent to their families. There were 12 white men and 14 colored men. Among the dead were 2 young German brothers who had arrived only a few days before and whose relatives will probably never hear of their untimely deaths. :: There were 28 widows and over 100 fatherless children left to mourn. Most of these families were entirely dependent on their dead husbands and fathers for their daily bread and now their only earthly support is gone. : '''Positive Outcome''' :: One of the direct results of the mining disaster at Cumnock in 1895 was the passage of legislation by the North Carolina General Assembly in March 1897. It was intended to provide for the inspection and regulation of mines. Although it had a few shortcomings, the law was fairly comprehensive and covered various aspects of mine safety. The law can be viewed on pages 457-463 of the transcript of the 1897 session at [http://digital.ncdcr.gov/cdm/ref/collection/p249901coll22/id/227602 North Carolina State Archives Digital Collection]. ===Miner Victims=== {| border="1" cellpadding="8" ! align="center" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''Miners''' {| border="1" cellpadding="8" |- style="background-color: #B5B5B5; height: 20px;" ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Name''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Sourced''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Bio''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Connected''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Category''' |- ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[[Andrews-12049|Andrews, A.

He was in charge of a small compress air engine in the mine. He said he heard the explosion followed by a low rumbling sound rushing toward him. for safety he dodged behind the engine and could very distinctly feel and hear the current of air as it rushed by him. When it reached the end of the tunnel it rebounded and rushed back with such force as to suck or drag him about 200 feet. ===Disaster Memorials=== North Carolina established a Highway Historical Marker Program. There are two markers for the Egypt Coal mine, later called Cumnock MIne. {{Image|file=Cumnock_Mine_Disaster.jpg |align=c |size=l |caption=Egypt Coal Mine Marker. }} {{Image|file=North_Carolina_Mining_Disasters-1.jpg |align=c |size=l }} ==Sources== .

In 1868, a man by the name of Harrison church discovered coal near the Hams Fork River. He built a cabin on the hill where part of modern Diamondville now stands. Realizing the area’s potential, he sought financial backing from a group in Minneapolis, who eventually formed the Hams Fork River Coal Company, incorporated in 1884. Later S.F. Fields, a promoter from Salt Lake City, Utah, took over management of the company and with the financial backing of the Anaconda Mining Company, renamed it the Diamond Coal & Coke Company.Historic Diamondville. The Town of Diamondville, n.d. Web. 6 July 2017. http://www.diamondvillewyo.com/history.htm : Diamondville was incorporated about 1896 with a Scot immigrant, Thomas Sneddon, as the first Mayor. Most of the original settlers came from Almy, Wyoming, where they had been working in the Almy mines, which had been closed after explosions in 1881, 1886, and 1896. Like many of the other miners in the area he previously had been in the service of the Union Pacific Coal Co. in Almy near Evanston. : Diamondville got its name from the quality of the superior-grade coal from the local mines that seemed to resemble black diamonds. {{Image|file= Dean_s_Photos-13.jpg |align=c |size=580 |caption=''Diamondville Mine Buildings'' }} {{Image|file= Dean_s_Photos-14.jpg |align=c |size=580 |caption=''Diamondville Mine'' }} === Mine Disaster Circumstances === :On the 12th of February 1899, ten brave men were risking their lives endeavoring to reopen the Diamondville No. 1 coal mine. They were all knocked down, one by one, by blackdamp. When help arrived, two were already dead, and the others were resuscitated with great difficulty. The names of the dead were John L. Russell and Lee Wright. http://usminedisasters.miningquiz.com/saxsewell/diamondville_1899_news_only.htm {{Image|file=Dean_s_Photos-6.png |align=c |size=250 |caption=''The Deseret News, Salt Lake City, Utah – 14 Feb 1899'' https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=336&dat=18990214&id=UbVLAAAAIBAJ&sjid=aDADAAAAIBAJ&pg=5019,3469322 }} : On the 25th of February 1901, less than a year after that first incident, a fire broke out in Mine No. 1 trapping many miners inside.

Initial newspaper reports indicated that some fifty miners and fifteen horses were entombed when the mine was sealed to extinguish the fire. Because of the belief that all within the mine had been killed, work was directed to saving the rest of the mine. Only one man, John Anderson, managed to escape. Later reports put the number of dead at 32. Most of the men were Italians, Finns, and Austrians. Of the crew, three were Americans, a father and son, Thomas and Everett Simpson. Everett was 17 years old. The third, William O. "Willie" Jarman, had moved to Diamondville from McAllister, Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma), only two months before. His wife with their baby was visiting her family at the time.

In 1868, a man by the name of Harrison church discovered coal near the Hams Fork River. He built a cabin on the hill where part of modern Diamondville now stands. Realizing the area’s potential, he sought financial backing from a group in Minneapolis, who eventually formed the Hams Fork River Coal Company, incorporated in 1884. Later S.F. Fields, a promoter from Salt Lake City, Utah, took over management of the company and with the financial backing of the Anaconda Mining Company, renamed it the Diamond Coal & Coke Company.Historic Diamondville. The Town of Diamondville, n.d. Web. 6 July 2017. http://www.diamondvillewyo.com/history.htm : Diamondville was incorporated about 1896 with a Scot immigrant, Thomas Sneddon, as the first Mayor. Most of the original settlers came from Almy, Wyoming, where they had been working in the Almy mines, which had been closed after explosions in 1881, 1886, and 1896. Like many of the other miners in the area he previously had been in the service of the Union Pacific Coal Co. in Almy near Evanston. : Diamondville got its name from the quality of the superior-grade coal from the local mines that seemed to resemble black diamonds. {{Image|file= Dean_s_Photos-13.jpg |align=c |size=580 |caption=''Diamondville Mine Buildings'' }} {{Image|file= Dean_s_Photos-14.jpg |align=c |size=580 |caption=''Diamondville Mine'' }} === Mine Disaster Circumstances === {{Image|file= Dean_s_Photos-16.jpg |align=c |size=300 |caption=''The Deseret News, Salt Lake City, Utath – 2 Dec 1905'' https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=336&dat=19051204&id=FRpQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=41UDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6189,973029 }} On 1 Dec 1905, an explosion occurring late Friday night in mine No. 1, at Diamondville, Wyo., caused heavy loss of life. One telegram received here states that 18 men were killed. Another dispatch states that 18 to 35 men were caught in the mine when the explosion occurred. Reports received in Salt Lake City state the explosion was caused by a "blown" shot. Through telephonic communication with the mine offices at Diamondville it is learned that 18 men, all who were in the mine, were killed. Nearly all of these were English miners, who came to the Wyoming mines direct from England. At 11 o'clock Saturday five bodies had been recovered. Had the full night shift been at work in the mine, the loss of life probably would have been appalling. The small shift of 18 men were working 4,000 feet down in the mine, knocking down coal to be taken out by the day shift. Presumably, the men were close together in a bunch when the "blown" shot of giant powder exploded. At the mine offices, it is said that the workings are not materially damaged and that the mine will be shipping its usual output within four or five days. "Eighteen Killed in Mine."

"The Diglake Colliery Disaster (also known as the Audley Colliery Disaster), was a coal-mining disaster at what was Audley Colliery in Bignall End, North Staffordshire, on 14 January 1895. A flood of water rushed into the mine and caused the deaths of 77 miners. Only three bodies were recovered, with efforts to retrieve the dead hampered by floodwater. 73 bodies are still entombed underground. The jury verdict 'The evidence failed to show how the water got in but we are of the opinion that is was an unforeseen accident.'"

[[Category:Dobson Mine Disaster, Greymouth, West Coast, 1926]] [[Project:Disasters|Disasters]] | [[Space:Mining Disasters|Mining Disasters]] | [[Space:New Zealand_Mining_Disasters Team|New Zealand Mining Disasters]] |'''Dobson Mine Disaster''' == History and Circumstances == * Date: 3 Dec 1926 * Location: [[:Category:Greymouth, West Coast|Greymouth, West Coast]] * Victims: 9 deaths * Cause: Explosion/fire At 3.10am on Friday 03 December 1926, a disastrous explosion occurred at the coal mine at Dobson, a small town on the banks of the Grey River in the South Island of New Zealand. From newspaper reports - The explosion developed terrible force, wrecked the telegraph and telephone wires in the vicinity, and threw debris a distance of a quarter of a mile. Some truck wheels were hurled clean out of the mouth of the mine. Most of the men were comparatively new arrivals in the district. Apparently there were five men engaged at the face when the explosion occurred, while three were trucking. The Dobson mine is known to be rather gaseous. Owing to the breakage of the wires the first news of the disaster had to be brought to Greymouth by car. As soon as it was known word was immediately sent to the Blackball Mine of the State colliery. Rescue apparatus was brought from Runanga, and a number of men were summoned from Blackball to assist in the work of rescue. The fan of the mine was re-started at 4.30 a.m., and soon after a number of men descended the shaft in order to attempt a rescue. They succeeded in rescuing '''Ashton''' and '''Lindsay''', who were at once sent to the Greymouth Hospital, and recovered the bodies of '''Richards''' and '''Hunter'''. EXPLOSION HEARD SIX MILES AWAY. Later information shows that two explosions occurred, the first being the greater and being heard at Runanga, six miles away. Much surface damage was done. Heavy colliery wheels were blown 400 yards away, and a 20-ton concrete block at the mine entrance was shifted a few yards, while houses at Dobson had their roofs pierced and their windows broken by falling debris. The cause of the explosion is unknown, and it is believed never will be ascertained. ===Miner Victims=== ''''''They are gone but not forgotten and should be found, honored and remembered.''''''

'''GPS Coordinates:''' Lat: -32.966667, Long: 151.733333 ---- == Summary == Dudley Colliery was located in the Northern District Coalfield at Little Redhead, Dudley, near Newcastle. The coalfield was the most productive in New South Wales, with 62 coal and shale mines producing 71 percent of the colony's output. When the Dudley Colliery was established in 1885, it was known as the South Burwood mine. The mine was closed for the weekend and the ventilation fans turned off. On Monday, 21 March 1898 at 7 am, the examining deputy went down the Dudley mine to inspect where work would be done. A half-hour later, 14 men descended to prepare for the resumption of full-time work by some 250 men and boys. At 9.10 am there was a massive explosion. No one survived. == Details == Table 1: The Victims - Age, Marital Status, Occupation and ResidenceBeauchamp, Clive, 2008.

Two cotton mills were built before 1794 and by 1825 there were seven. Coal pits exploiting the underlying coal measures to the south of the Lancashire Coalfield were a major part of Dukinfield's industrial history. Wikipedia :For further information on Dukinfield, see [http://www.englishtowns.net/dukinfield/ Dukinfield] '''Mine History''' : '''Francis Dukinfield Astley''' developed two collieries in the town, Dukinfield and Astley Deep Pit, and both had explosions killing many workers. Dukinfield Colliery (also known as Lakes Pit or Victoria Colliery) was owned by Astley's Dukinfield Colliery Company Wikipedia with '''Mr. F.D. Astley''' as the sole proprietor of the pit. '''Isaac Whelden''' was the manager and had been at the colliery for five years. https://web.archive.org/web/ :There were two shafts at the colliery. The downcast was 340 yards deep and led to the Black Mine and was connected to the upcast shaft for ventilation. A horse road ran along the level and about half way there was an upbrow and it was at this point that the explosion took place. The workings extended six hundred yards on a level with the upcast shaft in a southerly direction. The workings on the north side went for three hundred and fifty yards but this part of the mine had been abandoned when a fault had been struck some time before. The west workings extended one hundred and fifty yards with a dip of two feet per yard and a new air hole was being made in that direction for ventilation and this would communicate with the deep workings. https://web.archive.org/web/ '''Mine Disaster Circumstances''' :'''George Phillips''' was the one underlooker for the mine and he had exclusive control of the underground workings. He had two firemen working with him, '''John Moores''' and''' Joseph Wirrell'''. Their duties were to attend to the ventilation of the mine under the direction of Mr. Phillips. They were to inspect the mine every morning before the first shift of miners arrived to determine that the mine was free from gases. On the morning of the explosion Moores and Wirrell left the mine about 6am. Approximately 73 men and boys arrived for work that morning and about 8am there was a massive explosion in the mine. :'''Mr. Welding''', the pit manager along with a number of other men went into the pit . They found injured and dead miners. They assisted the injured out of the mine. The mine inspector, '''Thomas Wynne''' was near the colliery and he immediately went to the pit and descended to find that all the air doors were down and that the air from the downcast shaft was going up the upcast shaft and no air was going into the workings. :Medical assistance was provided to the men and everything was done for them as they were sent to the surface. In the mine, the airways and brattice were blown away in many places and the roof and floor had been displaced. Despite this, the men had cleared the rubbish and removed the bodies by 3 p.m.https://web.archive.org/web/ '''Investigation Report''' :In early reports the explosion was blamed on a leakage of foul air from an adjoining mine. The men were supplied with lamps as it was regarded as a fiery mine but it was known that the boys worked with naked lights against the Rules of the colliery. :The colliery was examined by '''Mr. Wynne''', the Government Inspector on Friday and the inquest opened on Saturday before '''Mr. W. Johnson''', the coroner of Marple. '''Mr. J. Wooley''' a former coal owner was the foreman of the jury. The inquest was held at the Astley Arms Hotel in Dukinfield. :A fortnight before the explosion, '''George Phillips''', the underlooker reported a roof fall at the end of the Black Mine tunnel. The fall was obstructing the free flow of air because the earth was nearly to the top of the tunnel. He was instructed by Mr. '''Wynne''' to make it right. After the explosion that blockage of the tunnel had not been dealt with and the air flow continued to be severely restricted. It was thought that if the blockage had been taken care of, the explosion could have been avoided. :On examining the pit the morning after the accident, the Inspector came to the conclusion that the explosion had taken place in the horseroad, about one hundred and forty yards from the upcast shaft. Four of the twenty seven victims were burnt but there was no sign of fire in the coal. A lamp was found lying on the floor and the gauze hanging up. All the miners were required to use lamps which were locked. https://web.archive.org/web/ :There were a number of witnesses that testified at the inquest. There was a common thread through all testimony. There was general mismanagement of the mine from the owner,''' Mr. F.D. Astley''' to the manager, '''Isaac Whelden'''. The issues brought forward by the witnesses included inadequate ventilation, lack of adequate staff and supplies, infrequent safety inspections and lack of follow through when issues were identified. The witnesses included '''Martin Birtenshaw''', a miner; '''Joseph Wirrell''', a fireman; '''Mr. Whelden''', pit manager; '''John Moores''', a fireman; '''James Horsfall''', manager of the Fair Bottom Colliery, '''Thomas Jones''', miner; '''James Normington''', miner; '''Joseph Kay''', off duty day of incident; '''John Hodgson''', miner; '''John Bate''', miner; '''Mr. W. Foulks''', surgeon of Dukinfield and '''James Ramsbottom''', miner. https://web.archive.org/web/ :Mr. Wynne, the Inspector had no doubt that gas had accumulated on the No.3 level and had been blown to the horse roads where it fired at an open light. He said that fiery mines were not dangerous if they were well managed. :The jury deliberated for an hour and returned a verdict of accidental death but added “We are of the opinion that the general management of the pit was characterised by great incompetence but not sufficiently grievous as to fix the manager with criminal responsibility.”https://web.archive.org/web/ ===Miner Victims=== {| border="1" cellpadding="8" !

Miner dealt with the dust by with removal of the dust, spraying with water, or diluting the coal dust with stone dust. All three of these methods were in use at the Easington Colliery, but apparently in a manner that was not satisfactory. Another obstacle to safety in cola mines is called firedamp. Coal mines deal with spoil by digging a "goaf," an area in the mine where spoil is placed and the supports are pulled so that the ceiling of the goaf collapses. In one section of the Easington Colliery, the roof did not collapse properly creating a void above it. It is believed that firedamp was emitted from the spoil, building up in the void. Several safety discrepancies were noted in the investigation after the explosion. One was that air was not properly vented into the area. A second was that safety lamps were left behind on the day of the explosion. Third, sparks being produced by a dull coal cutter (a machine with rotating teeth called picks were ignored with no hazard was apparent. On 29 May 1951, the day of the disaster and in one of the mine roads, dull picks reached pyrite and the resulting friction caused sparks, igniting the firedamp above the void. Happening in such a confined space, the blast caused coal dust to rise and ignite. The resulting blast followed the road back to others and into the main coal area. This caused two collapses of the mine roofs, one in the main coal area and another in the Duckbill mine district. {| border="1" cellpadding="8" ! align="center" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''Victims''' {| border="1" cellpadding="8" |- style="background-color: #B5B5B5; height: 20px;" ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Name''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Details''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Sourced''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Bio''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Connected''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Category''' |- ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[[Anson-547|Anson, John]], ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|aged 64, Shifter, address: 8 Thomas Street, Easington Colliery, Buried: Garden of Remembrance at Easington Colliery Cemetery ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Yes ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Yes ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| |- ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Armstrong, William ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|aged 55, Datal, address: 6 Barwick Street, Easington Colliery, Buried: Garden of Remembrance at Easington Colliery Cemetery ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| |- ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[[Bedding-16|Bedding, Mark Smart]] ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| aged 38, Filler, address: 84 Wordsworth Road, Easington Colliery, Buried: Garden of Remembrance at Easington Colliery Cemetery ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Yes ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Yes ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| |- ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Blevins, Matthew ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|aged 27, Filler, address: 28 Inchcape Terrace, Easington Colliery, Buried: Garden of Remembrance at Easington Colliery Cemetery ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| |- ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Brenkley, George ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| aged 20, Filler, Buried: Garden of Remembrance at Easington Colliery Cemetery ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| |- ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Brenkley, Thomas ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| aged 32, Filler, address: 24 Dean Avenue, Easington Colliery, Buried: Garden of Remembrance at Easington Colliery Cemetery ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| |- ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Brennan, Louis, ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| aged 49.

[[Category: East Wheal Rose Colliery Disaster, Newlyn, Cornwall, 1846]] [[Project:Worldwide_Disasters|Worldwide Disasters]] | [[Space:Mining_Disasters|Mining Disasters]] | [[Space:England_Mining_Disasters|England Mining Disasters]] |[[Space:Cornwall Mining Disasters|Cornwall Mining Disasters]] | East Wheal Rose Disaster 1846 Contact: [[McHugh-842|Fran Weidman]] ===Summary=== * Date: 9 July 1846 * Location: East Wheal Rose Mine, Newlyn, Cornwall, England * Casualties: 39 * Cause: Inrush The '''East Wheal Rose''' mine is situated in a valley surrounded by hills of killas rock near St. Newlyn East in Cornwall, England. The mine was established in 1834, after lead was discovered 22 years earlier. It produced mainly lead ore, but also silver and copper. By 1846, the mine employed over 1,200 men, women, and children. {{Image |file=Fran_s_screenshots-21.jpg |align=c |size=400 |label= Photo of East Wheal Rose, taken March 2016 |caption=''East Wheal Rose 2016'' }} The morning of 9 July, 1846 began as a bright and sunny day. However, storm clouds began gathering directly over Wheal Rose around noon. It began to rain, which soon turned into a torrential downpour. In what can only be described as a freak storm, the rain continued for an hour and a half, and there was no rain just three miles away. Those who witnessed the storm said they had never seen anything like it. Just five minutes after the storm began, the rain began pouring down the hills in torrents, which then poured into the mine shafts. It was estimated that 200 men were below ground at the time. The inrush of water was accompanied by a great gust of wind that blew out their candles, plunging them into complete darkness. Attempts at rescues began immediately. Mine Agent [[Middleton-6666|Capt. John Middleton]] organized 300 men to pile up earth around the shafts to try and stop the flooding, and was eventually credited with saving 161 lives. Kibbles (iron buckets) and chains were used to bring men to the surface, the men clinging to them and resembling "strings of onions". Despite the best efforts, 39 men and boys were drowned, leaving behind 22 widows and 60 children. {{Image |file=Fran_s_screenshots-22.jpg |align=c |size=400 |label= Photo of old flooded mine shaft at Wheal Rose, taken June 2016 |caption=''Old flooded mine shaft at Wheal Rose'' }} An inquest was held, but since the rain was considered "an act of God", the deaths were ruled as "accidental". The mine reopened just four months later, and the engine house was built in 1882. Operations contiued until 1886, when the mine closed for good. {{Image |file=Fran_s_screenshots-20.jpg |align=c |size=400 |label= Photo of East Wheal Rose engine house, taken 2009 |caption=''East Wheal Rose engine house, 2009'' }} The mine today is a tourist attraction, and part of the Lappa Valley Steam Railway complex. The preserved engine house and chimney stand over the site of what is considered Cornwall's worst mining disaster in history. On 9 July, 2021, commemoration events were held to mark the 175th anniversary of the disaster. Parish church bells tolled 39 times to honor those men who died on that fateful day. {| border="1" cellpadding="8" ! align="center" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''''Victims''''' {| border="1" cellpadding="8" |- style="background-color: #B5B5B5; height: 20px;" !

The area around Ruth did not show promise in gold and silver deposits so the claim holder, D.C. MacDonald, optioned his claim to Edwin Gray and Dave Bartley, who tunneled into a hillside and discovered vast quantities of copper in 1902. :The county seat, Ely, was a stagecoach station around 1880. Riepetown, Copper Flat, Ruth, and Veteran were built as housing for miners after the copper discovery. The population for all of these places is a bell curve that follows the boom-and-bust cycle of mining. :Riepetown, Veteran, and Copper Flat are gone, eaten by the open pit mine. Ruth was moved two miles away and is still there, greatly reduced in vigor. Ely has had a resurgence with the reopening of mining operations, the building of a state prison, and tourism. :'''Mine History''' '''1869''' :The famous open-pit copper mines of Robinson Mining District in eastern Nevada was named for Thomas Robinson, who found the area in 1869. Early settlements were Copper Flat, Kimberly, Ruth, Riepetown, and Veteran. Most of the original towns were moved as the mine moved. '''1904''' :The Nevada Consolidated Copper Company began underground mining in 1904 after buying the assets of the White Pine Copper Company and the Boston & Nevada Copper Company. By 1907, steam shovels began stripping the overburden (unuseable ore) above the Eureka mine. '''1906''' :Daniel and Simon Guggenheim were voted in as directors of Nevada Consolidated Copper and the Nevada Northern Railway. Construction of the smelter and mill at McGill was under way. Three hundred men were employed in the work. Cottages for personnel of Nevada Consolidated had been completed, along with barracks for the construction crews, a dining hall, and an electric lighting plant. '''1908''' :The Cumberland-Ely Copper Company and Steptoe Valley Smelting & Mining owned 650 acres of mining property. Steptoe Valley was building a concentrating and smelting plant 14 miles from Ely at McGill. The first train of ore was shipped from Copper Flat to McGill in 1908. '''1908''' :1908 was the beginning of the mining company mergers, consolidations, trades and shares sales. The Guggenheims wanted to merge Boston Consolidated Copper and Gold Mining Company, Nevada Consolidated Copper, and Utah Copper Company. In 1925, Cumberland-Ely Copper was dissolved and taken over by Nevada Consolidated - the company that ended up with all of the marbles. '''1932''' :Kennecott Copper Corporation offered to acquire Nevada Consolidated. From 1932 until 1942 was the second wave of mergers and consolidation. '''1949''' :The Ruth mine ceased production. '''1958''' :Kennecott Copper Corporation acquired full ownership in 1958 and replaced the 14 miles of railroad tracks and trains in the open pit with trucks. The last of the pit locomotives were retired. :Magma Nevada Mining Company purchased the property in 1991 and BHP merged with Magma in 1996. BHP ceased operations in 1999. Quadra Mining Ltd. purchased the mine from BHP in April 2004, and immediately recommenced operations. '''Towns''' :''Ruth'' - named for Ruth McDonald, daughter of the original owner of the mining claim. :''Riepetown'' - named for Richard A Riepe, a first-generation German immigrant who surveyed the area. :''Copper Flat'' - Copper Flat began as railroad yards for the loading and switching of ore cars coming from the Liberty Pit. It became a small residential area on the eastern rim of the Liberty Pit. :''Kimberly'' - founded in 1877, it had over 500 resident in 1920, the townsite is now an open-pit mine. :''Veteran'' - the first settlement was a Cumberland-Ely Copper Company town, its buildings were moved to Ruth, now it’s an open-pit mine. :''McGill'' - named after nearby ranch owner, William N. McGill, who sold land to Nevada Consolidated. Copper ore was moved by train from Eureka/Liberty Pit to the smelter in McGill. *http://www.greatbasinheritage.org/robinson-mining-district *https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth,_Nevada *http://www.onlinenevada.org/articles/mcgill *https://westernmininghistory.com/mine_county/nevada/white-pine/ *http://www.theusgenweb.org/nv/whitepine/Towns/copper_flats.htm *http://utahrails.net/bingham/kcc-nevada.php *http://utahrails.net/pdf/Elliott_KCC-Nevada-History.pdf *http://nnry.com/history/httpdocs/nevconhist/nevconhistory.htm '''Mine Disaster Circumstances''' While loading a surface drill hole, 10 men were killed by a premature explosion. The cause was not determined, because all evidence was destroyed by the explosion. Ely, Nev., July 7. -- '''A. H. Cooke''', powder man of the Nevada Consolidated copper flat pit, seven (sic, eight) Austrians and one Greek were instantly killed this afternoon, when a heavy charge in a churn drill hole exploded. The hole contained several hundred pounds of black powder and a large quantity of dynamite. One Austrian in the crew escaped death. '''C. B. Phay''', drill operator, who was fifty feet from the scene of the explosion, was injured by flying rocks, but not seriously. The cause of the premature explosion is not known. It is possible that a cinder from a passing engine on another pit level caused it. The accident occurred on the level next to the top. There are seven levels, each sixty feet above the other. Cook's remains, partially dismembered, were identified by the clothing. He was from Roanoke, Va., had been here two years and was about to return to his old home in the east. A portion of a car was found 1000 feet away, where it had been blown by the force of the explosion. The pit where the accident occurred is fifty feet deep below the entrance, while on the west side it raises more than 400 feet. Churn drills are used ahead of the steam shovels. The holes are drilled and fired to loosen the ore, which is then handled by steam shovels. A group of men were engaged in charging the hole, which was in the capping on what was called the Berry High Line level. Holes of this type held a relatively large quantity of powder and were usually loaded by five or six men, who dropped the powder into the hole. Sometimes as much as a ton of dynamite and black powder is used in a charge. In this case, Trojan powder had been first charged, and there remained, it is believed, five boxes of Hercules Special reported to contain 20 percent nitroglycerin and 20 percent ammonium nitrate.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules_Inc. Two boxes were unexploded. The reason for believing that three boxes exploded is that three craters were blown out in the ground; but it might have happened that the boxes were piled one on another, in which case each crater would represent more than one box. *http://www.gendisasters.com/nevada/19958/ely-nv-copper-pit-explosion-july-1912 ===Rescue Efforts=== There were no rescue efforts; dismembered bodies mostly recovered. ===Results and Findings=== :'''Safety First Monthly Bulletins''' ::The 7 July 1912 was the first major accident to strike this company and immediately focused attention on the safety measures which were then employed at the mines and at the reduction works. The fact that the workers killed were of the so-called "foreign" labor gang also focused attention on a particular problem faced by the company in reference to its steam shovel mining operation. The introduction of open-pit mining in the copper mines of the United States corresponded roughly with a change in the nationality make-up of immigration to the United States. Thus, the demand for laborers by the copper companies; particularly, the demand for unskilled and semi-skilled laborers, was met by the introduction of large numbers of workmen from central and southern Europe. The institutional barriers met with in regard to these national groups, especially the language barrier, made additional safety precautions necessary, particularly if these persons were employed handling explosives or in other dangerous positions.http://utahrails.net/pdf/Elliott_KCC-Nevada-History.pdf ::The Nevada Consolidated Company and the Steptoe Valley Smelting and Mining Company recognized this problem by passing a law, effective January 1, 1914, prohibiting employment in underground mines or handling explosives of workers who couldn't speak or understand the English language.Copper Ore (McGill), September 26, 1912 ::The 1912 disaster was responsible also for additional emphasis on safety through the issuance of Safety First Monthly Bulletins, which started in November 1913. The company issued, as a general supplement to its other precautions, a book of safety rules in three languages besides English; the most unusual appearing was the book in the Greek language.Copper Ore (McGill), October 3, 1912 ===Victims=== {| border="1" cellpadding="8" ! align="center" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''Miners''' {| border="1" cellpadding="8" |- style="background-color: #B5B5B5; height: 20px;" ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Name''' ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Sourced''' ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Bio''' ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Connected''' ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Category''' |- ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[[Bougious-1|George Bougious]] ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|no ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|yes |- ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|[[Cooke-5259|Haley Cook]] ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|no ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|yes |- ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[[Crnkovic-3|Stjefan Crnkovic]] ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|no ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|yes |- ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|[[Cvitkovic-2|Juro Cvitkovic]] ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|no ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|yes |- ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[[Gasparovic-17|Toma Gasparovic]] ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|no ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|yes |- ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|[[Mesic-27|Martin Mesic]]| ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|no ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|yes |- ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[[Mesic-28|Nikola Mesic]] ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|no ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|yes |- ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|[[Novacic-1|Ivan Novacic]] ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|no ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|yes |- ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[[Rajkovic-3|Anton Rajkovic]] ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|no ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|yes |- ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|[[Rubcic-1|Stjephan Rubcic]] ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|yes ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|no ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|yes |- |} |} :Eight of the men were from the same place: Udbina, Croatia, Austria. :A.J.

[[Category:This Day In History October 26]] [[Category: Evan Jones Mine Disaster, Jonesville, Alaska, 1937]] [[Project:Disasters|Disasters]] | [[Space:Mining Disasters|Mining Disasters]] | [[Space:United_States_Mining_Disasters|United States Mining Disasters]] | '''Evan Jones Coal Mine Disaster 1937''' ===History and Circumstances=== ====Area History==== :: Sutton, about 15 miles northeast of Palmer on the Glenn Highway, owes its existence to coal mining. Geologist G.C. Martin explored the area for the U.S.G.S in 1905 and reported an estimated 61 square miles of coal deposits, much of it high-grade bituminous coal. Unfortunately, the coal seams were faulted and folded, with intrusive rocks. This made coal mining difficult and lowered the coal’s value unless intrusives and other contaminants were removed. ::Shortly after miners began developing claims, the federal government withdrew all federal coal lands from entry in 1906. The nascent coal mining industry along the Matanuska River died. :: It took the U.S. Navy, and construction of the Alaska Railroad to bring coal mining back to the Matanuska Valley. The route of the railroad was chosen in part to provide access to the Matanuska Valley coal deposits. :: in 1913 the U.S. Navy, searching for high-quality coal to fuel its Pacific fleet, investigated an abandoned coal mine at “Watson’s Camp” near Chickaloon. The Navy was impressed with the quality of the coal, and contracted with Jack Dalton (most famous for opening the Dalton Trail from Chilkat Inlet to the Klondike) to provide 800 tons of coal from the Chickaloon site for testing. He delivered that coal to tidewater at Knik via horse-drawn sledges during the winter of 1913-1914. ::In 1916, the federal government released Matanuska Valley land for coal leasing, while retaining the Chickaloon coal deposits for government usage. Mining quickly resumed. ::Railroad tracks reached Chickaloon in 1917. Spurs were also built to access coal mines that developed along Moose and Eska creeks. The Alaska Engineering Commission (AEC), which was building the railroad, purchased the Eska mine for its own needs. ::In 1919, the station at the junction of Chickaloon branch and Eska spur was named Sutton in honor of a local homesteader, birthing the town of Sutton. ::The Eska mine, located just a few miles northwest of present-day Sutton, was mined extensively by the AEC. It was one of the largest coal producers in the Territory from 1917 to 1920, producing 150 tons per day. Eska operated until 1920, when its superintendent, Evan Jones, left to start his own mine nearby. The AEC closed Eska when Jones opened his Jonesville coal mine. ::The AEC and later the Navy worked on developing a mine at Chickaloon. In support of the Chickaloon and other area mines, the federal government constructed a four-story, 86-foot by 132-foot washing facility at Sutton to remove intrusives from the coal. The washerie, completed in 1922, operated less than a year. It closed after the Navy shut down its Chickaloon mine, having determined that faulting and folding in coal veins and intrusive rocks made the Chickaloon coal too expensive to mine. Only a portion of the washerie foundation remains. :: About 17 coal mines operated in the Matanuska Valley, some for only a few years. As mines closed, many miners relocated to Sutton, where the Jonesville mined continued to operate until 1968.www.newsminer.com/features/sundays/sketches_of_alaska/sutton-has-a-lengthy-coal-mining-history/article_95cc8274-7fa7-11e7-a795-abd1a8d34c4e.html ====Mine History==== :: Evan Jones was born in 1880 in Wales. Both of his parents had died by the time he was ten years old and he was on his own. He came to North America and worked in mines in Canada and the US. To early Alaskans, he was the "Father of Alaska Coal Mining" and respected as a man as well as a miner. His first experience in the coal mines was as a trapper boy, opening and closing fire doors, at age 12 in his native Wales. Although he had other early jobs, Evan Jones was a coal miner for more than fifty years. alaskamininghalloffame.org/inductees/jones.php ::In 1920, Evan Jones, with Anchorage pioneers Z.C. Loussac and Oscar Anderson, a hotel man by the name of Collins, Dr. Blyth, a dentist, and Dr. Boyle, an M.D., leased 2240 acres on the south slope of Wishbone Hill and opened the Jonesville mine of the Evan Jones Coal Company, with Evan Jones as general manager. As a privately owned mine, Jonesville could supply coal in Anchorage. alaskamininghalloffame.org/inductees/jones.php ====Mine Disaster Circumstances==== :: There were 19 men in the mine at the time of the explosion. Four of the men were able to escape uninjured. However, a fifth man '''Vic Raide''', foreman was brought out by rescuers. He was seriously burned and one leg was injured.

It wasn’t until the early 1730s that settlers began to move west into the Piedmont area of North Carolina. The early settlers were primarily Scotch-Irish and German people who were descendants of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia settlers. https://www.ncpedia.org/history/colonial/piedmont : The Piedmont area of North Carolina where the Deep River Coal Field is located was part of Chatham County initially. In 1907 that section of Chatham County and a part of Moore County were brought together to form Lee County, named for CSA general, Robert E. Lee. https://leecountync.gov/LeeCountyHistory/EstablishmentofLeeCounty : Indians traveled across Chatham County long before it was established. Stone arrowheads found by early farmers as they cleared or plowed land was the most common evidence of their presence. Records show that some of the first settlers in Chatham County, arriving in the mid 1700’s mostly from the north or up the Cape Fear River valley from the southeast, were of European origin. The early settlers were concerned primarily with agricultural pursuits. https://www.ccucc.net/EarlyHistoryofChathamNC : The area surrounding the town of Farmville was first settled in the mid 1760s. Their numbers were small and were mostly farmers by trade. The first recorded structure inside the current town limits was a log cabin built about 1840. In the 1850s a church and a school were built. The town of Farmville was incorporated in 1872. https://www.farmvillenc.gov/about/history : There were three towns within a five mile band, Egypt, Gulf and Farmville. Egypt was renamed Cumnock in 1915 and Farmville was renamed Coal Glen after 1915. All of this to try to clear up confusion about the naming of the mines. '''Mine History''' : The presence of Deep River coal was first noted in 1820 and was the only noteworthy source of coal in the state. Around 1921, the Carolina Coal Company developed a mine on the site of the old Farmville village on the Chatham County side of the Deep River, less than two miles east of the Cumnock Mine. Coal was mined in three towns within a four and a half mile band: Egypt, Gulf and Farmville. There is some confusion over the name of this event. Initially it was called the “Cumnock Mine Disaster”. The Cumnock Mine, however, was not the mine where the accident occurred. Farmville was later renamed Coalglen, or alternately Coal Glen at a date not readily available. The disaster has since been referred to in association of one of these three nearby locations. uncblog '''Mine Disaster Circumstances''' {{Image|file=Carolina_Coal_Co_Farmville_Mine_Disaster-2.jpg |align=l |size=l }} : At 9:40 in the morning on May 27, 1925, a massive explosion shook the town of Coal Glen, N.C. The blast came from the Deep River Coal Field, where local miners were working nearly a thousand feet underground. The explosion, probably touched off by either coal dust or natural gas, was devastating: fifty-three miners were killed.https://blogs.lib.unc.edu/ncm/index.php/2005/05/01/this_month_may_1925-2/ This day had started like any other. At 5am '''George Anderson''' the gas boss, went down and made an inspection, reporting the mine free of gas. The Durham Sun (Durham North Carolina). 28 May 1925, Thu. Page 2 There were three explosions about 30 minutes apart. The first one was in the second right lateral shaft, approximately 1000 feet from the entrance. The two subsequent explosions were thought to have occurred between the second right lateral shaft and the opening. Six miners were pulled from the mine alive. : It was thought that, because the coal was soft and very slow-burning, the coal dust was not highly combustible. Because of this and the long history of operation without accidents, there was a false sense of security. After the explosions, there was a lack of rescue equipment on hand. There were no gas masks because they had never been needed. The Durham Sun (Durham North Carolina). 28 May 1925, Thu. Page 2 : Trains bringing experts sent by the State and Federal Bureau of Mines arrived around 0900 the next morning from Thomas, West Virginia and Birmingham, AL. '''T.P. Reed''', safety director of the Federal Bureau of Mines was in charge of the first train bringing pumps and gas masks to aid in the rescue. The Durham Sun (Durham North Carolina). 28 May 1925, Thu. Page 1 {{Image|file=Carolina_Coal_Co_Farmville_Mine_Disaster-1.jpg |align=r |size=l }} : The rescue dragged on for 2 and a half days. The last bodies were not removed until Saturday evening. People came from far and wide to see what happened and to offer assistance. Initially, it was unclear how many men were in the mine. Records showed that 59 men entered the mine to work that morning but it was reported that 71 miners lamps were out and it was thought there might be additional men in the mine. Six bodies were found on the first day. '''Mr. William Hill''' of the Cumnock mine told families that the air was clear below where the bodies were found, giving hope that the entombed men might still be alive. : Several days passed before all the bodies could be brought to the surface. Identification was difficult because of the damage done by the explosions and fires. ''' Frank D. Grist''', mining inspector said that official inquiry could not be made until all bodies were recovered. {{Image|file=Carolina_Coal_Co_Farmville_Mine_Disaster.jpg |align=l |size=l }} : The average wage ranged from $3 to $10 a day. Most of the men worked on a ton basis, being paid $1.25 for each ton they dug out. Approximately 40 of the miners who were killed were married and left widows and 75 or more orphans. The Sandford post of the American Legion auxiliary had three women working day and night to provide food and water to the relatives and those involved with the rescue work in various capacities.Sidelights on State’s Worst Mine Disaster. The Albemarle Press (Albemarle, North Carolina). 04 Jun 1925, Thu. Page 2 : More than half of the adult population was wiped out in the disaster. There were several families that suffered multiple losses. One older man lost three sons and a brother. A rumor gaining wide circulation was discounted by mine officials. The rumor has it that smoking in the mine caused the explosion. The experts from the federal bureau of mines concurred with the local mine owners that there was no proof that smoking caused the explosion and there are a number of other possible causes. None were determined. .Last of Victims Taken From Coal Glen Mine Sat Afternoon. The Albemarle Press (Albemarle, North Carolina). 04 Jun 1925, Thu. Page 2 : As a result of the explosion, about 300 people including about 40 widows and 150 orphan children were in destitute circumstances. Statewide appeals were made for citizens and various civic and professional organizations to assist with fundraising to help the widows and orphans. '''Investigation Report''' :[http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~pfwilson/history/labor_report-1.html Accidents in the Mine State Report] At the state level there was a general lack of knowledge and experience managing the mines. The North Carolina Department of Labor and Printing was the state agency charged with oversight and supervision of mines in North Carolina. The '''Hon. Frank D. Grist''', commissioner at the time of this disaster stated that there were no funds allocated for supervision and inspection work. Forward Observation Post. Asheville Citizen-Times (Asheville, North Carolina). 07 Jun 1924, Sun.

He stated that a blown out "shot" caused the explosion. ''' Mr. Grist ''' was responsible to conduct an investigation of the mine disaster and to submit a report and recommendations to the legislature for proposed regulations. He had been seeking an experienced mining engineer to assist with the investigation but found them to be scarce. Asheville Citizen-Times (Asheville, North Carolina). 20 June 1935, Sat. Page 2 : '''John R. McQueen''', President of the Carolina Mining Company anticipated that the company would be sued by the families of the deceased and the survivors and that members of the corporation might be made criminally liable for alleged failure to comply with state laws regarding mine safety. He stated that all the laws of North Carolina, West Virginia and Alabama were complied with. He also declared "the laws in this state are not comprehensive, there being little reason for them".Coal Glen Mine Owners would have Survivors Treated Alike". The Albemarle Press(Albemarle, North Carolina). 02 Jul 1925, Thur. Page 6. : '''Commissioner of Labor and Printing, Frank D. Grist''' ascribed the explosion that killed 53 people to the following causes. A blow-out shot, possibly defective powder, and carelessness in not properly placing the shot or blast. The report contained recommendations relating to mine safety, precautions for miners and support for a proposed workman's compensation laws. He related his support for workman's compensation to the circumstances that followed the mine disaster. Asheville Citizen-Times (Asheville, North Carolina). 01 Jul 1925, Wed.

They were '''Howard Butler''',''' Joe Richardson''', '''Kermit Scott''', and '''Claude Matthews'''. All these men entered the mine after the first explosion in an attempt to rescue some of the miners who were underground. None of them were men who normally worked underground, although Butler sometimes went underground as a surveyor. Richardson was a machinist at the mine; Matthews was a weighman and worked at the company store. Scott worked in the lamp house. Scott was nearly overcome by gas, and Butler, Richardson, and Matthews came close to death in the second explosion, which followed a few minutes later. {{Image|file=Carolina_Coal_Co_Farmville_Mine_Disaster-3.jpg |size=l |align=c }} : None of the four received any assistance from the Carnegie Commission for their heroic efforts, but hopefully, their efforts will not be forgotten. The photo shows Howard Butler in later years, probably 1952, shortly before the mine closed for good. https://www.facebook.com/DeepRiverCoal/posts/1256877034435503 : Despite the mine safety regulations written into law following the 1895 explosion, many of the same issues were found that indicate a lack of seriousness about providing a safe environment for the workers. The mine had never been inspected by the Mine Inspector/Commissioner of Labor Statistics because no funds were allocated. The investigation of this incident resulted in recommendations for further regulation even though existing regulations were ignored. ===Disaster Memorials=== *[https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/north-carolina/coal-glen-mine-explosion-nc/ Article Commemorating the Worst Mine Disaster in North Carolina History] {{Image|file=Worldwide_Mining-4.jpg |align=c |size=l }} {{Image|file=Worldwide_Mining-3.jpg |align=c |size=l }} ===Sources=== *[https://www.legeros.com/history/osfm/pdf/osfm-farmville-coal-mine.pdf Looking Back: The Coal Mine Disaster of 1925] *[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZFJqqP56-c Coal Glen Mine Disaster] - song and pictures video. *[http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~pfwilson/history/mine_explosion_victims_remembered.html Victims Remembered]

'''NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, May 25'''. Yesterday, one of the most terrible acciden's on record, in the history of Collieries, took place at Felling, near Gateshead, Durham, in the mine belonging to --- Brandling, Esq. the Member for this place, which was the admiration of the dis-trict for the excellence of its ventillation and arrangements. Nearly the whole of the workmen were below, the second set having down before the first came up, when a double blast of hydrogen gas took place, and set the mine on fire, forcing up such a volume of smoke as darkened the air to a considerable distance, and scattered an immense quantity of small coal from the upper shaft. In the calamity, 93 men and boys perished, the remains of 86 of whom are still in the mine, which continues unapproachable. Meetings are to be called at Newcastle and the neighbourhood, to raise subscriptions for the widows and orphans of the sufferers.Globe - Tuesday 02 June 1812 page 3 col 4, accessed at https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ 21 March 2022 Image © THE BRITISH LIBRARY BOARD.

A rescue operation was underway when a second explosion struck. It was agreed that the men underground could not have survived and an underground rescue was impossible. Eventually the shafts were closed off to prevent oxygen entering, to stop the fires. Some weeks later the pit was opened and it was safe to enter the pit by 8th July. Bodies were gradually recovered and brought out in coffins, but identification was difficult following the fire and several weeks putrefaction. One body was never found. The victims were buried in St. Mary's Churchyard, Heworth. The pit was brought back into production on 20th September, 117 days after the explosion. In the aftermath of the disaster the local rector, [[Hodgson-171|John Hodgson FAS MRSL (1779-1845)]] wrote a report about the incident and appealed for help for the widows and orphans. Hodgson's pamphlet was instrumental in the establishment of a ''Society for the Prevention of Accidents in Cola Mines'', of which Hodgson was a member. Hodgson also worked with [[Davy-458|Humphry Davy (1778-1829)]] in the development of the safety lamp. {| border="1" cellpadding="8" ! align="center" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''Victims''' (91 names found) {| border="1" cellpadding="8" |- style="background-color: #B5B5B5; height: 20px;" !

Leslie County is in the Southeastern part of the state. The county is approximately 404 square miles. The county population at the time of the disaster was 11,623. The mine workers were from Leslie and neighboring Clay Counties, two of the poorest counties in the state of Kentucky. ===Rescue Efforts=== ===Results and Findings=== :An investigation revealed a “nearly absolute failure” to enforce the new safety laws. Traces of dynamite and Primacord, both banned by the new law, were found inside the mine. Excessive accumulations of coal dust and inadequate applications of rock dust in parts of Nos. 15 and 16 mines permitted propagation of the explosion throughout the mines. :The disaster occurred exactly one year after the passage of the Coal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1969. ===Miner Victims=== {| border="1" cellpadding="8" !

Historically part of Cheshire, the town developed as a result of the Industrial Revolution when it became the site of coal mining and cotton manufacturing. Dukinfield is located 159 miles (256 km) north-northwest of London. It is situated on the site of a vast ancient swamp which is the reason coal is found in this area. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dukinfield#Geography_and_geology Wikipedia] '''Mine History''' :The Dunkirk Coal Company which was the original developer was taken over by '''Samuel Swire''' and '''Henry Lees''' as the '''''Dukinfield Coal and Cannel Company'''''. They managed a number of mines in the Dukinfield area. There were three clusters of mines under their control. Flowery Field was in the eastern cluster. The Dukinfield company first sank shafts in Flowery Fields around 1832. At that time they gave notice they were planning to extract coal to a depth of 50 yards. The Flowery Fields pit worked the Black Mine. http://www.pittdixon.go-plus.net/dunkirk-coal-co/dunkirk-coal-co.htm :The following was written by '''[[Eaton-5031|George Eaton]]''' who was a coal miner himself and he lived in Dukinfield in 1837. This is offered to add context to life in this time and place. ::"In 1837, the pit was about 70 yards deep to the mouthing. There were iron conductors in the pit. The tubs held 4cwt of coal and had ears. There were no chains so hooks were used instead of flat hemp ropes to wind with, there were flat chains of four longish links, and those links that ran flat over the pulleys were packed firmly with wood inside the links, the next four links ran over the pulley on all the under edges and were not packed. When the engine was winding the jingling of the chains could be heard at a considerable distance from the pit. The chains were fully as wide as an ordinary flat hempen rope. I never saw chains like them before or since. The miners thought that hemp ropes were safer than chain ropes." http://www.rhodesfamily.org.uk/yesterdays/specials/duk/duk2.html :'''Mine Disaster Circumstances''' {{Image|file=Black_Mine_Flowery_Field_Colliery_Disaster.jpg |align=l |size=m }}The colliery was the property of''' Messrs.''' '''Swire''' and '''Lees''' and was located in Newton, near Hyde and employed 50-60 men and boys. The mine was entered by a shaft about 160 yards deep and at the bottom there was a tramway or inclined plane over 300 yards long. This is where the wagons of coal were taken by a steam engine. At the end of the tramway there was a landing place or flat space about ten yards. From here there was another tramway up an incline about 300 yards long to another landing. The coal was taken from all parts of the mine to this place by mules. The explosion occurred on this level about 200 yards from the extreme end of the pit. On Friday, 8 April 1842 about eleven o'clock an explosion of carburated hydrogen gas occurred. A terrible rumbling was heard and flames erupted from the mouth of the pit. It is thought that the explosion happened in the dirthole. Seventeen people died that day. Most of the deaths were caused by suffocation due to the gas. Two of the dead were badly burned and the other died when the roof collapsed on him. '''Investigation''' :An inquest was held the following Monday, 11 April 1842 at the White Hart Hotel on Old Road, Flowery Field. Testimony was extended for a second day in order to include all witnesses. {{Image|file=Black_Mine_Flowery_Field_Colliery_Disaster-1.jpg |align=r |size=l |caption=Candle Lighting in the Mine }} :The Investigation team determined that the epicenter of the explosion was in the disused "dirt whale" workings (no longer in use). :They also determined that the ventilation for this unused area had become partially blocked due to a build up of rubble. The result of this inadequate ventilation was an accumulation of firedamp (methane) in the enclosed area. Someone may have entered that area with a naked candle which caused the explosion. :Testimony at the inquest revealed the following information: *'''Samuel Swire''' (one of the trustees) attributed the cause of the accident to '''Robert Downing''' (dead). He went down into the dirt-hole with a naked candle, where he had no business to go, thus caused the explosion. He also said the mine was perfectly safe in all but the one area (dirt-hole was not properly ventilated). *Another witness at the inquest - '''William Hartley''' (viewer to the trustees of the Dukinfield estate) stated that the mine had not been inspected for at least 12 months. He was responsible to physically look at the mine and operations and make sure everything was being done correctly but had not for a year. :According to a detailed article in ''The Guardian'' newspaper, several conclusions could be drawn. *First, all the miners were provided with safety lamps by their employers but all of them were using naked candles which they had to purchase for themselves. *Secondly, if the miners had stayed at the lower level, in all probability they would not have perished. If they had opened the vents to allow the gas to escape, they would not have died. '''''The impression was that none of the miners were knowledgeable about the natural laws that govern the movement of gases.''''' :The jury deliberated for 10 minutes before they rendered a judgement. Although they judged'' the event an accident with no fault assigned, they did recommend that in the future to either completely fill the dirt-hole or to leave ventilation open.'' The CoalPit Explosion at Newton, Near Hyde. The Guardian (London, Greater London, England). 16 April 1842, Saturday.

The underlooker descended and after a protracted and dangerous search, he and his party succeeded in finding eight of the missing colliers. However, all were dead, some bruised, some suffocated and others much bruised. Shortly afterwards another seven bodies were located and all were taken to the pit head. The search continued and after about an hour the remaining ten were discovered at the extreme end of the mine where they had run for safety. '''Bowker''' and '''Grimshaw''' were alive but in a desperate state. '''Bowker''' died soon after he was found and '''Grimshaw''' expired in the arms of a fellow workman but four of the eight recovered and made their way to the pit. ===Others Involved/Supporters and the Aftermath=== Many were involved after the disaster: Tinker and Potter were both surgeons. They came to the mine but were told that all were dead so they left. Subsequently, eight were brought up to the surface. There was a delay in the injured being seen by a surgeon which may have resulted in death. '''Frederick Tinker''', surgeon '''John Wright''' '''Mr. Potter''' '''Mr. Taylor''' 2 surgeons from Dukinfield The community worked together to provide for the destitute and bereaved widows and families of those killed in the explosion. A subscription was begun under the auspices of '''Capt. Clarke''', who agreed to act as treasurer and '''Mr. Coulthart''', manager of the Ashton Bank. The Guardian newspaper described the conditions thus "in external , apart from their present loss of those who maintained them, the inmates of many of these houses were but just able to gain a bare livelihood. ... many of them must actually want for food." The Guardian (London, Greater London, England). Coal-Pit Explosion at Newton, Near Hyde. 13 Apr 1842. page 3 ===Another Explosion 3 Years Later=== Three years later, in November, 1845 there is a first-hand account of a subsequent explosion at the Flowery Field mine. '''[[Eaton-5031|George Eaton]]''' gives the following account: : He was the Wagoner for the crew of two who were hewing the coal and George was delivering it to “other hands”. He was working the second shift which started at 2pm. They were using candles by sticking them upright in the soft clay. :At about 6 pm, after George returned from his lunch break, one of the workers hewing coal “broke through” into an old wagon road. The other worker was digging without light because “there is gas in the old level”. George was instructed to test if there was gas by lighting a candle. He observed that a candle already burning suddenly became “a torch” and even though they ran, both were burned by the exploding gas. The underground manager was not present, so did not authorize proceeding without safety checks after the sealed tunnel was opened. :After the explosion, George crawled to an exit point and the three men were taken home. George states that the explosion was a “great blunder” because when the cut was made into another tunnel, there should have been an air test and a safety lantern used instead of candles. The old tunnel had been sealed and there was no ventilation so there was an expectation that the sealed level would be full of either choke damp or fire damp. '''So, even three years after the 1842 explosion, there continued to be unsafe practices in the very dangerous environment of a pit mine. The miners preferred to use candles instead of the safety lamp. This may be because of the safety lamp's dim light.

With coal deposits in Wyoming being discovered in 1843 by the second Frémont Expedition. It opened opportunities for companies and individuals to invest money. When the Union Pacific Coal Company opened the first underground mine in 1881 after construction of the Oregon Short Line Railroad from Granger to Oregon. Mining companies starting to find locations throughout the state, one such location was near what is currently Kemmerer. In 1897, Patrick J. Quealy founded Kemmerer as an "independent town" and later incorporated it in 1899. Quealy was the vice-president of the Kemmerer Coal Company. The company and town was name after Quealy's financial backer, Pennsylvania coal magnate Mahlon S. Kemmerer. Welcome to the City of Kemmerer. City of Kemmerer, n.d. Web. 4 July 2017. http://www.kemmerer.org/ : Throughout the years, the mines located in Kemmerer experienced many accidents ending in fatalities. The accidents were not exclusive to just one mining company they all experienced accidents caused by explosions. These accidents left many families without fathers, sons, brothers, and uncles. Many of the deaths received compensation depending upon whether they had families. {{Image|file=Worldwide_Disasters_Project_Images-69.jpg |align=c |size=580 |caption=''Kemmerer 1908'' }} {{Image|file=Worldwide_Disasters_Project_Images-70.jpg |align=c |size=580 |caption=''Kemmerer Mine No. 1 - 1910'' }} === Mine Disaster Circumstances === {{Image|file=Dean_s_Photos-21.jpg |align=r |size=220 |caption=''Hutchinson News, Hutchinson, Kansas – 14 Aug 1923'' [http://fronterminedisaster.blogspot.com/p/headlines.html Hutchinson News, Hutchinson, Kansas - 14 Aug 1923] }} On Tuesday, 14 August 1923, 136 men reported to work in the Frontier Number One mine. Ordinarily, 250 miners would have reported for work, but about 125 men took a holiday that day. At approximately 8:30 a.m., after the second trip car carried miners into the mine, a terrible explosion took place. The town of Frontier knew something had happened from the dense smoke coming out of the large mine fans. The influence of the accident began immediately. One hundred and thirty-five men had reported to work that morning and only thirty-six came out alive. Ninety-nine miners perished. According to the coroner’s inquest, "The explosion was caused by gas in No. 7 room 30 entry, same being ignited by fire boss when relighting his safety lamp, all victims of the explosion thereby meeting their death." This accident became the second worst mining disaster in the state of Wyoming. {{Image|file=Dean_s_Photos-25.jpg |align=l |size=350 |caption=''Frontier Mine No. 1'' }} About a thousand people had gathered at the mouth of the mine by noon, on the day of the accident. The Kemmerer Camera reported, ''"Within a short time all roads and paths from the town to the mine were filled with wives, children, and friends of the imprisoned men."'' Citizens of the community banded together both in grief and in the necessity to care for its own. The women of the community made meals, hot coffee and fed the rescuers. Others fed the families who lost loved ones. Men in the communities, many coal miners themselves, lent their manual labor in the rescue efforts and in the digging of the graves. The Kemmerer Republican reported, ''"For every task, and there were many, that was presented following the tragic affair, there were volunteers without number..."'' The whole community was involved. Local physicians and nurses responded by offering their services at the mine. The blacksmith shop was changed into a first aid station where several miners were treated. {{Image|file=Dean_s_Photos-22.jpg |align=c |size=500 |caption=''Families at Frontier Mine No. 1 Entrance after Explosion'' }} ===Rescue Effort & Rescuers=== Rescue teams initiated efforts while residents of the communities gathered at the mine entrance. About a hundred miners answered the call to rescue and to help with the recovery of the dead. These miners came from surrounding mines including Cumberland, Glencoe and Diamondville to help. The relief crew included men who had the day off work, but ordinarily would have worked in the Frontier mine that fateful day. '''P.J. Quealy''' and '''Tom Jiacoletti''' directed the rescue operations. Trip after trip went into the mine clearing debris and looking for survivors or bodies of the dead. They did not go into the mine to rescue strangers, they went in the mine to rescue fellow miners. Rescue teams successfully saved the lives of 37 men and recovered the bodies of 99 men. Rescue efforts for survivors took a total of forty hours, but they continued their work recovering the remaining bodies of the deceased miners over several days. ===The Aftermath=== Volunteers, including many miners, had to help dig graves in the local cemetery for burial. Several hundred men worked in shifts preparing graves for the deceased miners. Most of the graves held eight coffins each. In addition to the large graves, throughout the cemetery, private graves in family plots needed digging. The Kemmerer Republican reported, "It is a gruesome (sic) sight at the City cemetery, this morning, with a hundred rough boxes awaiting the coffins this afternoon. Great credit is due the volunteer grave diggers, most of whom are fellow-workers of the dead." The two local funeral parlors, Fitzpatrick and Embree, had a difficult time handling the sudden influx of business. The mortuaries needed volunteers to assist in transporting the bodies from the Frontier mine to Kemmerer and in preparing the bodies for burial. Many of the dead could not be embalmed, because of the limited number of undertakers, so they used another method to preserve the bodies. Between the alternative method of embalming and the hot August weather, burial had to take place immediately. Another factor relating to the mortuaries had to do with space. The funeral homes did not have enough room to hold the large number of deceased miners. The local I.O.O.F Hall improvised as a morgue to accommodate the large number of bodies. The Wyoming Press describes the scene, "Stretched out on the floor at the I.O.O.F hall at Kemmerer were the dead. They were laid out in two rows, their bodies covered only by a sheet. In another room, the miners were being stripped of their work clothes and the bodies washed and a third row of the dead was being added to as fast as the workers could accomplish their awful task." {{Image|file=Dean_s_Photos-24.jpg |align=r |size=400 |caption=''Family and Friends Identifying Bodies of Miners'' }} Reports by several sources, maintain that the undertaker’s greed combined with the large ordeal had unfortunate consequences. Apparently, in their hurry they carelessly stacked the bodies on the waiting trucks. Upon leaving the mine, one of the trucks hurried over the railroad tracks causing several bodies to fall from the truck on the way to Kemmerer. Whether carelessness, greed, or because of the enormous task, this incident put this particular funeral parlor out of business. This carelessness during the Frontier mine accident caused this funeral homes' ultimate demise. A community memorial service was held in Kemmerer in Triangle Park. The Kemmerer Republican newspaper describes: :''All of Kemmerer bowed its head in sorrow last Friday and Saturday as the victims of the mine explosion were tenderly laid at final rest, and it was a great relief to all when the last body, the last reminder of the awful tragedy, was laid away. It really was a three-day funeral, as nine caskets were lowered Thursday the second day after the explosion, 63 Friday, the day of the community services; 10 were shipped to out-of-town points, and 17 were buried Saturday.''

[[Category:Glen Afton Mine Disaster, Huntly, Waikato, 1939]] [[Project:Disasters|Disasters]] | [[Space:Mining Disasters|Mining Disasters]] | [[Space:New Zealand_Mining_Disasters Team|New Zealand Mining Disasters]] |'''Glen Afton Mining Disaster''' ===History and Circumstances=== '''Glen Afton''' Glen Afton is a village in the Waikato District in the northern part of the Waikato Region of the North Island of New Zealand. Formerly an important coal-mining centre, it consists today of little more than a few houses with very limited services and amenities, although one large and one small open-cast coal mine still operate in the area. The nearest town is Huntly, some 14 km away. The Glen Afton community boasted a series of facilities which were financed through county council and ratepayers association projects. These facilities included: shops, bowling greens, rugby league grounds, railway station, Post Office, community hall [for dances, meetings and Sunday movies], hotel and well-known pottery.[https://www.revolvy.com/topic/Glen%20Afton Glen Afton] :'''Glen Afton Mine''' The Glen Afton mine opened with great excitement of the residents on 25 July 1923 with 2,000 attending opening ceremonies. The coal from this mine powered the area dairy industry, and at the time of the collieriers operation, the mines were a place of community. {{Image|file=Glen_Afton_Mine_Disaser-1.jpg |align=c |size=l |caption=Opening of Glen Afton Mine 25 Jul 1923 }} Glen Afton quickly became a model township, based around the mine. Everything had to be designed and built from scratch. Not only did the miners depend on each other with their lives inside the mines for safety, they also spent a large part of their time outside the mines together. :'''Glen Afton Mine Disaster''' On the 24 September 1939 an underground fire broke out in the mine with the loss of eleven lives caused by an accumulation of carbon monoxide gas from a small fire caused by a short circuit. The fire was thought to have been extinguished. It was located at a fault between two sections of a coal seam and ignited sometime on the Saturday morning prior to the weekend shutdown. Miners placed mud between the seams in an attempt to extinguish the fire. Unknown to them, the fire continued to smolder, causing the release of carbon monoxide gas. Extraction fans had been turned off for the weekend and this led to a buildup of carbon monoxide in the mine. Later a fault was noted at the Huntly Power Station and traced to the line supplying electrical current to the Glen Afton Collieries. Management at Glen Afton were advised of this. Men searched for the source of the problem on Saturday afternoon and when they were unable to locate it decided to return the following morning. On Sunday '''Christopher Blackburn''', mine manager, and a group including engineers, electricians and mine deputies returned to the mine. When Blackburn discovered that the two deputies and two electricians were trapped in the mine, he sent an urgent message for the extractor fans to be started. He then led a party of four other men into the mine, followed by two others who were sent to a different part of the mine. [http://www.TeAra.govt.nz/en/1966/disasters-and-mishaps-coal-mining/page-3 (accessed 05 Oct 2017)'Huntly Disasters', from An Encyclopaedia of New Zealand, edited by A. H. McLintock, originally published in 1966] Following this, four other men had entered the mine. Subsequently, several others ventured in, until those on the surface realized something was wrong. While some of the men were lucky and managed to get out, eleven men died. The fire had rekindled and a rescue party, who were miners off-duty or working outside the mine, was assembled to go below ground. Everyone inside of or who went in the mine on that day died. {{Image|file=Images_Mining_Disasters-6.png |align=c |size=l}} :'''Royal Commission of Inquiry''' {{Image|file=Glen_Afton_Mine_Disaser.png |align=l |size=m }} ::The Royal Commission of Inquiry opened on 27 November 1939 and concluded a number of failings and recommendations to be implemented in the mining industry nationwide, to prevent this sort of disaster happening again. The inquiry found that the fire was caused by a short circuit. It was found that the management of the mine was substandard and that the deputy‟s recording of potential hazards and abnormal circumstances was lax. These shortfalls were minor issues in themselves, however, when combined with other lapses and errors, led to disproportionately tragic consequences. [Edwards] ::The inquiry reported on the cause of the underground fire: ::There was an earlier fire at about 10 o'clock in the morning on Saturday, 23rd September, 1939. Two witnesses stated that at the time of this fire '''WILCOX''', the underviewer, said, " This looks like a short," indicating his opinion that the origin of the fire had been an electrical short circuit. ::The report was of the opinion, however, that there was no justification for that assumption and reached the conclusion that the fire on Saturday morning was caused by a dropped cigarette or a naked light coming into contact with inflammable material. ::Subsequent examinations of the mine by several persons proved that the site of the fire on Sunday morning was the same as that of the fire on Saturday. In the reports opinion the only safe conclusion is that the Saturday morning fire was not properly extinguished, but revived and burned vigorously after work ceased in the mine for the day.

He was killed in the disaster and was survived by his wife, '''Margaret''', and their two young children, '''Helen''' and '''George junior'''. A letter from Margaret to George‟s family, written nearly a month after the disaster, provides a poignant insight to the situation in which the family found themselves. Margaret was clearly upset when writing,'' “I have to try and hide my sorrow. Every time she [Helen] sees me crying, she nearly goes into hysterics. We've had an awful job with Georgie, I've had to leave him with neighbours once or twice, he doesn't like me out of his sight. We go to bed at seven each night I can’t sit up.”'' {{Image|file=Glen_Afton_Mine_Disaser-5.png |align=r |size=m }} Margaret continued: ''"the fans [at Glen Afton Collieries] are suppose [sic] to work 2hrs before any man goes in the mine and they weren’t on, so there will be some trouble about it. [This] tragedy will go down in history.”'' At 10:15 am on the Sunday, '''Mr Thomas''', an underviewer from the mine had requested '''George Hunter'''’s assistance. Prior to leaving for work, George could see smoke coming from the mine and he said, “Don’t worry it will be another fire. I get double pay for today’s work and I will see you later.” This was the last time Margaret Hunter, Helen and wee Georgie saw George alive, after having earlier shared breakfast in bed together. When Margaret delivered George’s food at 3:30 pm she saw ambulances and cars at the entrance to the mine and, in her letter, describes a feeling of unease she later interpreted as a premonition of the disaster. Margaret waited with members of the families of the other missing miners until 8 o‟clock that night. Eleven bodies were removed from the mine, one of whom was '''George Hunter'''. George's death in the disaster also brought financial and emotional difficulties for Margaret, and their children. Their circumstances were further complicated because George had not made a will. This meant the affairs of his estate were handled by the Public Trust. There was a compensatory company grant of £1,000 following the disaster. With a paltry pension of £1/15/0 Margaret and the children found it difficult to survive. {{Image|file=Glen_Afton_Mine_Disaser-6.png |align=c |size=l}} With the help of financial assistance from her in-laws, Margaret returned to Scotland with the children. Some nine months later Margaret was forced to return to Auckland as the monies held in trust for the children were administered in New Zealand. Margaret eventually remarried. For many years, George and Margaret's extended families lost touch with each other. Recently later generations of these families got in touch once more and all family members are now living the the United Kingdom. ===Rescue Effort & Rescuers=== Those in the first rescue party knew they were unlikely to return and died trying to save their fellow miners. Afterwards, everyone knew there would be no survivors, and it became a recovery operation.
