'''The event ranks among the 15 deadliest coal mine disasters in U.S. history.''' {{Image|file=Images_Mining_Disasters-32.jpg |align=r |size=l }} :The exact cause of the early-morning blast is unknown. It's likely that an accidental spark ignited gas in the air, which directly killed seven men and knocked out a ventilation fan. Without the fan, levels of blackdamp rose in the mine. Another 121 miners suffocated. ''About 40 other workers were able to dig their way through rubble and escape.'' :The Banner mine was run by Pratt Consolidated Coal Company, then owned by Tennessee Coal & Iron. All but a handful of the casualties were black convicts leased from the state and from Jefferson County. The explosion brought enough attention to horrific mine conditions for new governor''' Emmet O'Neal''' to push a mine safety bill through the legislature. '''Virginia, AL Mine Explosion, Feb 1905''' The 1905 Virginia City Mine explosion was a fatal mining accident that killed 112 coal miners at Virginia City, near Hueytown, on February 20, 1905. Brothers '''George and Everett Schuler''' opened the mines. The Jefferson County Coroner and Alabama State Mine Inspector determined that the explosion was caused by the use of too much powder in a charge made at the 5th entry left. The presence of large amounts of coal dust in the mine's air carried the explosive reaction through the entire mine and caused water pumps and pipes to break, flooding chambers below the water line. All 112 miners present were killed. The mine itself suffered little damage except for a rock collapse at the entrance. '''The Shuler brothers and their partners were charged with criminal negligence''' that April by Jefferson County Solicitor''' Barrington Heflin'''. Republic Steel purchased the mine in 1936 and operated it until 1963. The property was subsequently redeveloped as the Virginia Estates and Edenwood residential subdivisions. '''Dolomite, AL No 3 Coal Mine Explosion, Nov 1922''' '''All but one of the 43 disasters involved coal mining incidents. The one exception is an iron ore mining disaster that involved the mine's train crashing'''. ==List of Mine Disasters==

It includes a list of disasters linking the DISASTER PAGES. The Disaster Pages include a list of those killed and injured from which individual miner profiles may be created and honored or memorials added to those profiles existing on WikiTree. ==History of Mining in Alaska== *1725 - Peter the Great of Russia commissioned a Danish sea captain, Vitus Bering, to explore the Northwest coast of Alaska. This feat is credited with the "official" discovery by Russia and the first reliable information on the land. Bering established Russia's claim to Northwestern North America. *1857 - Coal mining begins at Coal Harbor on the Kenai Peninsula. *1859 - De Stoeckl returns to US from St. Petersburg with authority to negotiate the sale of Alaska. Alaska became a state in 1959. *1861 - Gold discovered on Stikine River near Telegraph Creek. *1865 - Western Union Telegraph Company prepares to put telegraph line across Alaska and Siberia. *1867 - Financial struggles force Russia to sell Russian-America to the United States. Negotiated by US Secretary of State William Seward, the treaty buys what is now Alaska for $7.2 million, or about 2 cents an acre. Alaska's value was not appreciated by the American masses at the time, calling it "Seward's folly." ; Pribilof Islands placed under jurisdiction of Secretary of Treasury. Fur seal population, stabilized under Russian rule, declines rapidly. www.ereferencedesk.com/resources/state-history-timeline/alaska.html ===Coal Mining=== The discovery of coal in on the Kenai Peninsula in 1786 was one of the many things that helped Alaska become colonized in her infancy. Coal mining didn’t begin until 1855 when Enoch Hjalmar Furuhjelm opened the first coal mine in what is now called Port Graham. Once gold was discovered in Alaska coal demand increased expediently as steam ships began to take prospectors and their supplies up rivers and on ships across the Gulf of Alaska. Even with many steam ships converting to petroleum power in the early 1900’s, coal was still being required for trains and U.S Navel ships. https://cgrijalva.community.uaf.edu/history-of-coal-mining-in-alaska/ ===Gold Mining=== Gold mining in Alaska has been a major industry and impetus for exploration and settlement since a few years after the United States acquired the territory from Russia. Russian explorers discovered placer gold in the Kenai River in 1848, but no gold was produced. Gold mining started in 1870 from placers southeast of Juneau, Alaska.history The Russians had been aware there was gold in their territory of Alaska. In 1849 P. P. Doroshin, a Russian mining engineer, discovered gold in the gravels of the Kenai River on the Kenai Peninsula. In 1861 gold was discovered on Telegraph Creek near the settlement of Wrangell. Another discovery of placer gold was in 1865-66 on the Seward Peninsula by a party exploring for a telegraph route. The Russians prohibited the search for minerals as they feared a rush of foreign prospectors into a land they could barely hold claim to and they had taken the valuable seals and fur otter to the brink of extinction. This, in part, led to the sale of Alaska to the United States in 1867. Following the Alaska purchase in 1867 a few American prospectors, trappers and traders came to explore the new territory. In 1880 gold was located at what is now Juneau, the capital city. The discovery led to more mineral exploration in the North. There were gold strikes in Alaska and the upper Yukon prior to the discovery of gold in the Klondike in 1896. Miners and prospectors on their way to search for gold in the upper Yukon region had been coming through Dyea and over Chillkoot Pass since before the route was mapped by the Lieutenant Schwatka expedition in 1883. https://www.alaskagoldrush.info ==Mining Disasters in Alaska== {| border="1" cellpadding="8" align="center" ! align="center" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''Miner Deaths''' {| border="1" cellpadding="8" |- style="background-color: #B5B5B5; height: 20px;" ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Date ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Mine Name ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Location ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''No. Killed ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Industry ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Disaster Cause |- ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|2-Mar-2010 ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[[Space:Alaska-Mexican_Gold_Mine_Disaster|Alaska-Mexican]] ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Treadwell, AK ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|37   ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Gold ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Explosion |- ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''26-Oct-1937 ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''[[Space:Evan_Jones_1937_Coal_Mine_Disaster|Evan Jones]] ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Sutton, AK ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''14   ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Coal ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Explosion |- ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|9-Dec-2012 ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[[Space:Great_Northern_Development_Gold_Mine_Disaster|Great Northern Development]] ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Cordova, AK ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|9   ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Gold ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Avalanche |- ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''18-Jan-1957 ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''[[Space:Evan_Jones_1957_Coal_Mine_Disaster|Evan Jones]]  ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Sutton, AK ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''5   ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Coal ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Explosion |} |} == Resources == ===Project Template, Memorial Stickers & Categories=== :The Worldwide Mining Disasters Project Template is used on this page and the Individual Disaster Pages and is not used on individual person profiles. :The Memorial Stickers and Categories to use for individual profiles appear on the Individual Disaster Pages linked above. ===Museums/Memorials in Alaska=== *[http://www.alaska.net/~vldzmuse/goldrush1.htm Gold Rush] *[https://www.alaskamininghalloffame.org/museum.php Mining Hall Of Fame] ===Genealogy Resources=== * [https://archives.alaska.gov/genealogy/genealogy.html Alaska State Archives & Museums] * [https://www.alaskagenealogy.com/ Alaska Genealogy & History] * [http://akgenweb.com/ Alaska US gen web] * [https://search.ancestry.com/Places/US/Alaska/ Alaska Genealogy] === Mining Resources === *[http://gendisasters.com/mainlist/alaska/Mining%20Explosions%20and%20Accidents Alaska Mining Disasters] *[https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/mining/statistics/content/allminingdisasters.html CDC Mining Disasters] == Sources ==

*Location: Argoed Hall Colliery, Mold, Flintshire, Wales
*Victims: 20 casualties, 10 rescued
*Cause: Flooding
*The colliery was the property of Messrs Hampton and on Friday, the 12 May 1837 was inundated. 30 men and lads were missing. Water had been coming in from old mine workings for about 10 days prior to the disaster, but this had managed by pumps. On the day of the disaster the flow of water dramatically increased. *18 men who were at the bottom of the engine shaft climbed to safety on machinery in the shaft. 30 men were missing *By the following Monday 10 bodies had been recovered. *It wasn't until later on that sounds were heard, and they were able to rescue 4 men and 6 lads. They were exhausted and sopping wet, but alive. *One of the survivors, a Mr Roberts, gave the following account:- **''I heard the alarm from a collier named Jones calling me to leave the seam as water was flooding in. I thought it was a false alarm so went on working for a few minutes until a second alarm was given. I went to the engine shaft and found the water too high so I returned, passing through the air cut into the bye shaft but the passage was too small so I stayed where I was. Three others named Ither, Williams and Jones were swept away by the water whilst trying to get to safety'' (NB the man called Ither is not mentioned in the death list). ''The boys were crying for food so Kendrick and me shared out some bread and butter from our pockets. We were trapped for three days but the water did not go up. Two elderly gentlemen, Robert Owens and William Williams died and we stayed with them and said prayers'' *Profiles for those lost in this disaster are categorised under [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Argoed_Hall_Mining_Disaster%2C_Argoed%2C_Flintshire%2C_1837 '''Category:Argoed_Hall_Mining_Disaster'''] * References [https://www.nmrs.org.uk/mines-map/accidents-disasters/flintshire/argoed-colliery-inrush-mold-1837][http://moldcivicsociety.org.uk/the-argoed-hall-colliery-disaster-of-1837/] {| border="1" cellpadding="8" !

The province encompasses the largest part of the Canadian Cordillera, a mountain belt rich in minerals and coal. British Columbia is an important producer and exporter of copper, gold, silver, lead, zinc, molybdenum, coal and industrial minerals. As of late 2010, there are 9 major metal mines and 10 major coal mines operating in BC. There are also 35 major industrial mineral mines, 2 smelters and numerous smaller mining operations throughout the province. In 2010, there were several major operating mine expansions (Quinsam, Endako, MAX Moly and Highland Valley Copper) and four major mines in construction: Copper Mountain, New Afton, Atlin Gold and Mt. Milligan. *[http://www.empr.gov.bc.ca/Mining/Geoscience/PublicationsCatalogue/InformationCirculars/Documents/IC2011-04.pdf History of Coal in British Columbia] {{Image|file=Images_Mining_Disasters-13.png |align=c |size=l}} ====Gold Mining History==== In 1851, reports of gold discoveries in the Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii) sparked a flurry of excitement among British and American traders in the area. Several parties of miners were dispatched to the Islands, but their efforts turned up only small quantities of gold and were repeatedly thwarted by shipwrecks, accidents and resistance from the local Haida people. By the end of the decade, the Islands’ gold rush was declared a bust, but the episode had helped to consolidate the new Colony of British Columbia and prepare the way for the “real” rush to the Cariboo.

Coal mining in early British Columbia was risky business, and accidents often occurred, which killed miners and damaged and destroyed mines and mine shafts. One of the very worst mining accidents ever to occur in British Columbia happened in the Spring of 1887 in a fire and explosion at the Colliery No. 1 Pit mine in Nanaimo. The source and further information is this article [https://www.wikiwand.com/en/1887_Nanaimo_mine_explosion# 1887 Nanaimo Mine Explosion]. *May 22, 1902 - Coal Creek Mine Disaster caused by an underground explosion in the No. 2 Mine at the Coal Creek Colliery and took the lives of 128 men in one of the worst mining disasters in Canadian history. * June 19 1914 - 195 miners out of 236 who went to work at the No. 1 mine of the Hillcrest collieries are dead as the result of an explosion of black damp which occurred in the mine shaft 1,600 feet underground at 9:30 am. {{Image|file=Images_Mining_Disasters-13.png |align=c |size=l}} ===Mining Disasters=== 25 Disasters occurred in British Columbia and are linked to their pages below.[http://cdd.publicsafety.gc.ca/srchpg-eng.aspx?cultureCode=en-Ca&provinces=1%2c2%2c7%2c11&eventTypes=%27EI%27%2c%27ZD%27%2c%27ZV%27%2c%27AA%27%2c%27RA%27%2c%27VA%27&normalizedCostYear=1&dynamic=false|Canadian Disaster Database]

Each year on or near March 23, a commemorative service for the 1887 Bulli Coal Mine tragedy is held at St Augustine's Anglican Church Bulli NSW Australia in conjunction with the Black District Heritage Centre Museum, Bulli. Family members of the victims, retired coal miners and members of the community attend the service. Flowers are then laid at the Disaster Monument after the service. The tragedy remains the second worst industrial disaster in Australia, exceeded only by the Mount Kembla NSW Coal Mine Disaster 1902 where 97 men and boys were killed. A graphic and heartwrending article from the Sydney Mail & NSW Advertiser of April 2nd 1887 also provides information on the Victims : [By Telegraph.](FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTERS.)BULLI, March 25. [https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/163282176] The ghastly work of searching out and removing the bodies from the awful pit was continued all day. Crowds were gathered round the mouth of the tunnel, whence every now and then four miners would be seen emerging with the remains of their fellow workmen, and bearing the corpses on a stretcher to the old shed. Some good women were in attendance here, and busied themselves in preparing the bodies for the coffins. The preparation was very simple. It consisted in placing some straw in the coffin, and wrapping the body in coarse linen. Owing to the decomposed and scorched-up state of the remains,the clothes that were left on them were not removed,and the bodies were thus laid in the coffins just as they were discovered in the pit. Sometimes as many as 15 could be seen laid out in the shed in readiness for the coffins,which the carpenters could not supply quickly enough. This was a horrible picture. The flesh in most cases was blackened, and the faces had to be washed to secure identification. Throughout the day body after body had to be identified, and different persons were called in for this purpose. The name was then written on the coffin in chalk. In some instances the word “unknown” appeared, and the remains were placed in a dray or waggon for interment. This ceremony, bad enough to witness,was rendered most painful by the sobs and wailsthat could be heard on all sides from widows and orphans,and mothers and sisters. It is very sad to see the suffering that has been brought about by this terrible explosion; and anyone who has seen it will surely never forget it. Nearly all the bodies discovered today were very much bruised and broken, showing that the shock was most severe at the inner-most part of the pit. A boy named Geo. Robinson, whose occupation was a wheeler, was found jammed in between the axle and the bottom of a truck, the whole of his body being rolled up in a space of one square foot. Some difficulty was found in securing the identification of the mangled remains. The body of another lad was brought in doubled up in a hideous manner with the head and face smashed in. His old grandfather tottered over, gazed steadfastly on the corpse, and then burst into tears. A young woman, dressed in sombre black, with a babe in her arms, was standing beside a dray containing two coffins, and crying out, “I must see my husband, I cannot go away till I see him; take him out and let me see him.” To satisfy the poor creature the lid of the coffin was unscrewed, and the scene that followed must be left to the imagination. Waggons and drays, with their cargo of two or three coffins, were now proceeding one after another down the Mount. The townspeople, with numbers of other people,were always to be seen wending their way from all parts of the district around. Among these was a poor woman crippled with rheumatism, who had crawled up the steep on crutches. She was accompanied by her little son,who had a helpless baby in his arms. She was shedding bitter tears at the loss she had sustained inbeing deprived of her husband. She came to see him, but was disappointed, as his remains had already been removed to the cemetery. Limping about again, she criedout “Oh, my God, this is hard.” The plaintive voice of a young woman who had lost her father and two brothers by the catastrophe could be heard for a considerable distance all round the colliery; throwing her arms about and wildly screaming, she was the object of everyone’s pity. Her sister, too, whose expressions in grief were not so demonstrative, fainted off. And with all these sad sights and horrible sounds, a fearful gloom was cast over the place. Meanwhile the bodies were ever being found, until the record totted up now 60, now 71, and soon the body of a man just recovered was surrounded by some dozen people. “It’s James Trais,” remarked a woman.” His poor wife, who has nine children, has been married three times, and this is the second husband killed in the mine.” A mother with her little girl was crying loudly at the side of the cart where the remains of her husband were placed. She was wailing over her loss, and throwing herself on the coffin cried out,”My dear good husband, the father of my children, oh my dear husband.” Her little daughter, too, was screaming out. These are merely quoted as instances of many harrowing scenes which brought tears to the eyes of even the male portion of the bystanders. Down in the little township, a mile away, the shops were all closed out of respect to the dead, whose funeral obsequies were now being performed.Cortege after cortege moved off in the direction of the cemetery the whole day. Darkness came on too soon for all the dead to be buried, and the remainder of the funerals will take place today. The greatest sympathy is displayed on all sides for the destitute families.The Minister for Mines arrived today, and visited the pit’s mouth. He has appointed Mr. Turner, P.M., ofWollongong ; Mr. Greene, C.P.S., of Bulli ; Mr. Fry,J.P., of Bulli: and Mr. Woodward, M.L.A., of Wollongong, to act for the Government in dispensing for all the needs of the sufferers. Monday. The statement telegraphed early on Saturday morning that 85 bodies had been brought out of the pit turned out to be inaccurate, and when the search parties ceased working the total number of bodies recovered had reached 81. The following is a corrected list of those whose bodie have been brought out and identified :— *Louis Gorreson *John McBride *George Smith *John Adamson, *HenryThomas, *William Lucas, *John M’Carthy, *William Woodlands, *Henry Graham, *John Michael Dovle, *Henry Hans Olsen, *John Anderson, *Charles Jowett, *William Williams, *William Snodgrass or Neal, *Samuel Carr, *John O’Neil, *John McLelland, *John Lonsdale, *William Thompson, *James Hay, *Robert Browning, *William Schofer, *Greener Brodie; *William Brodie, *John Smith, *Robert Newton, *Jeremiah Westwood, *Joseph Crompton, *Luke Jackson, *Thomas Melville, *Thomas Davis, *Joseph Davis, *John Rees, *Lewis Williams, *Robt.

Birch, *Thomas Wilson, *H. Ehmann, *Wm. Viegel, *Wm. Bouren, jun.,and *Wm. Smith. *The funeral obsequies to complete the interment of the dead were carried out on Saturday. The bodies had begun to decompose so rapidly that it was found absolutely necessary to place them under the earth without delay. One after another the whole day long, both on Friday and Saturday,little funerals moved off slowly to the burial-grounds. In most cases a dray or waggon answered the place of the ordinary hearse, and sometimes contained two or three coffins. The cortege in most cases comprised a few drays or spring carts, and a few horsemen. The mortal remains of some of the miners who had not worked long in the mine, and who had scarcely any friends in the district, were followed by two or three persons on foot, the sight being avery sad and lonely one. There were also one or two of the dead who belonged to the Bulli Battery of VolunteerArtillery, and who were therefore buried with military honours. The business people of the township paid the fullest respect they could, and had their shops closed. The sight at the different burial-grounds was sorrowful in the extreme. Coffins lay piled up while the gravediggers busied themselves in making their excavations.The clergymen of the several denominations had no rest,and passed from one grave to another repeating the burial service. The widows, with their families of four, five, and six children, stood round shedding tears and uttering their earnest prayer of requiescat in pace. In all the churches of the district yesterday fitting references were made to the disaster, prayers for the dead offered up, and sympathy expressed with the suffering living. The people of the district are making praiseworthy efforts to alleviate the troubles induced by the catastrophe in many homes. Mr. Green, the local clerk of petty sessions, has visited several families with a view of ascertaining immediate wants, and, in accordance with the wish of the Minister for Mines (Mr. Abigail), has taken steps where necessary to administer to those wants. A public meeting was held at Bulli on Saturday evening in connection with the relief fund. Over £150 was subscribed in the room, and the following gentlemen were appointed a committee tocontinue the work :— Messrs. J. W. Garlick, chairman; C. Dining and Hicks, treasurers ; and Rev. T. Potts and H. S. Fry, J.P., secretaries.

'''GPS Coordinates:''' Lat: -37.395, Long: 143.870 ---- == Summary == On Tuesday 12 December 1882 at 4:45 am, waters from the abandoned Australasia No.1 mine that had been steadily building unknownst to the miners burst into the adjacent New Australasia No. 2 Deep Lead Gold Mine in Creswick, Victoria. Fourteen men escaped, but 27 men working at the face 250 feet underground were unable to and sought refuge in the No. 11 jump-up.Jump-ups were areas that had been cut into the mine to allow the miners to “jump up” out of the way of the mine trucks. For almost three days, mine pumps were driven well over capacity to frantically lower the floodwater and divers were rushed from the monitor ship HMVS Cerberus as the trapped miners huddled in the cramped space in total darkness, singing hymns and praying for help. Some scrawled last words to their loved ones on their crib pails. By the time rescuers arrived almost three days later on 14 December 1882, only five of the trapped men still lived. Twenty-two perished, leaving 18 widows and 63 orphaned children. The 4,000-strong funeral procession on 15 December 1882 was about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long, as 15,000 mourners lined the funeral route between the mine and Creswick cemetery. A Victoria-wide appeal for the widows and orphans soon raised £20,000. Widows received 15 shillings per week (a living wage) for life and orphans from 1 to 5 shillings weekly until they started employment or reached 17 years.[https://www.amsj.com.au/lessons-from-the-past-creswick-mine-disaster-of-1882/ "Lessons From The Past: Creswick Mine Disaster of 1882"}, Australasian Mine Safety Journal, Mining Safety History, 30 July 2014.

The trains from Ballarat and Clunes were crowded with visitors, and a special was despatched from the first mentioned station. All the business places in Creswick were closed, and flags were raised at half mast. Of the first five men saved only one (Moloney) was present at the funeral. The crowd around the claim when the funeral started numbered between 15,000 and 16,000. The coffins containing the bodies were lying in the claim building, and many touching in cidents were to have been noticed in connection with visits of relatives. Some of the bodies had previously been removed in their coffins to the residences of relatives in the district, but all were brought back in time for the funeral. The procession was then at once organised, under the superintendence of Mr. W. G. Spence. Leading the procession were ministers of the various denominations, fol lowed by a firing party of the Ballarat Volunteer Rangers, to which Woods and Bellingham, two of the deceased, were attached. The Volunteer band came next, playing The Dead March in Saul and then about thirteen of the corpses. The volunteers were under the following officers : — Major Sleep in command, Captain Keathch (Creswick), Kildahl and Sadler (Ballarat), Lieutenants Tuff and McDonald (Clunes) and Dr. Andrew, also of Clunes. A few members of the Light Horse Cavalry marched next and then came the coffins of Corporal Wood and Private Bellingham, carried on the shoulders of their volunteer comrades; the coffins of Wyatt, Chewgin and Fisher, carried by members of the order of Oddfellows, to which they be longed, were followed by a large number of brethren in regalia and of members of the Australian Natives' Association, also in regalia; the coffins containing the bodies of Bulcombe, Carmody, Serretier, Minahan, Hayes, Walsh, Dargan, Anderson, Hodge, Curtis, Treylour, Croughy, Bellingham, Trescothick, Tenby and Clifton were carried by miners from the Australasian claim in the order mentioned. Then came a very large number of members of the Miners' Asso ciation, fully 2000, and there were also present Mayors Claxton and Ferguson of Ballarat city and town respectively, the president of Ballarat shire Jas. Campbell, M.L.C.), Messrs. Brophy, Richardson, Cooper, Wheeler, and Bell, M.L.As. There were, it was estimated, fully 4000 persons in the funeral procession, which was about 1½ mile long, and reached almost from the Australasian mine to the Creswick Cemetery. The coffins of the deceased were covered with wreaths and immortelles, and the sight was of the most impressive and solemn character. On arrival at the cemetery arrangements were made for two burial services — one for the Protestant and the other for Catholic deceased. The coffins containing the bodies of the 16 miners who belonged to the different Protestant churches were laid down in the spot set apart in the main path, and the 6 coffins containing the bodies of the Roman Catholic miners were also laid down in a spot a few yards distant. The sight presented at this stage was most touching. Around the coffins, which were strewn with flowers, stood the sorrowing widows, mothers, children, sisters and brothers in mourning garments weeping silently or aloud. Many of the spectators, and especially those of the female sex, were much affected. After the usual services had been performed the bearers of the different coffins resumed their burdens, and each was taken to the grave set apart for it. At each grave a burial service was performed by the ministers of the denomination to which each miner belonged, and the bodies were then consigned to the earth. A military burial was accorded to Corporal Woods and Private Bellingham. The crowd was very orderly, and the scene from commencement to end was the most melancholy which has ever occurred in Australia. :At the public meeting at the town hall, Creswick, this evening, over £1000 was collected. :::Ballarat, 15th December. :Subscriptions for the relief of the wives and families of the unfortunate men who were drowned in the New Australasian mine are coming in very satisfactorily. In addition to those already announced are the following: — W. Bailey, £100; M. Loughlin, £100; Jas. Coghlan, £25 ; 1). MThail, £10 ; St. John's Lodge Freemasons, C25 ; Union Foundry Accident Association, £25 ; and many others of lesser amounts. The amalgamated Miners' Association will, in accordance with the amended rules, levy Od. per head per mem ber for every miner drowned, and this will amount to about £1100. Mr. D. Fitzpatrick, 1 J.P., is exerting himself most energetically, and to-day collected a largo sum of money towards the relief fund. :The survivors are progressing as favorably as can be expected. Maloney was to-day walking about the streets, apparently well, and says the men would all have been got out at first had they known the accident was a flood of water, but they were under the impression that a fall of mullock had taken place, and were detained discussing the exact locality. :A meeting has been convened by the mayors of the city and town of Ballarat to devise means for the relief of the sufferers. :::Geelong, 15th December, :Next Monday afternoon a public meeting is to be held here for the purpose of taking active steps to obtain subscriptions in aid of the fund for the relief of the families of the men who lost their lives in the mine at Creswick.THE CRESWICK MINING DISASTER.

Retrieved December 13, 2022, from http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article11562219 :TWENTY-SEVEN MINERS IN PERIL :[BY TELEGRAPH ] (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER ) CRESWICK, TUESDAY. :The most terrible accident that has ever occurred in a mine in this or any other Australian colony happened in the New Australasian mine, two miles from Creswick, at an early hour this morning. It occurred at half-past 5 or a quarter to 6 but it was nearly 9 o'clock before the awful news became known even in the town two miles away. When it did reach town the news spread like wildfire and the utmost excitement prevailed throughout the district. :These are the facts as far as I can ascertain them:—The night shift went to work at the usual hour, and everything progressed satisfactorily until the time mentioned. The first indication of anything having gone wrong below was brought up by a trucker—Albert Garton—who climbed the ladder way and came to the engine driver Jas. Spargo, jun., in a state of great excitement saying that the water had broken away under ground and the men would be drowned in the new reef drive which runs in a south westerly direction from the shaft. To make the description intelligible, I must describe the mine which is situated about a mile from the North Creswick railway station in a northerly direction and comprises an extensive area. The company is among the oldest in the district, and the mine from the No 1 shaft, has been worked with varying success for many years. Some years ago when the re-organisation of the company took place a shaft known as the No. 2, was put down about half a mile from the No. 1, and the old workings were abandoned; At this time about 1000ft of the gutter between the termination of the old drive and the new shaft was left. When the No. 2 shaft was sunk the gutter was driven on north and the washdirt faces are now in about 2,400ft. A few months back the board of management decided to put in a drive south of the shaft to work the ground left when the No 1 shaft was abandoned and it was in this drive that the burst of water took place. The reef drive was in about 300ft, and the plans showed that the old workings were from 250ft to 260ft away and 40ft below the new reef drive. Everything appeared to be safe but to preclude the probability of accident, bores were put up at intervals to treat the correctness of the plans of the old workings. Last week two bores were put up, and solid ground obtained :HOW THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED :What happened this morning seems to have been this:—Henry Reeves, one of the contractors in the new reef drive was at work with his mate Mason in the face, and the former broke through into what he believed were old workings. He states that the water broke away over the point of the back laths. The two men made for the plat and then went to the intermediate level where the lights were put out by a rush of air and they both climbed the ladders to the surface. Reeves went down the shaft again in the cage with lamps going as far as the top plat; from there he went down to the intermediate level and the lights went out at the intermediate level, and he again climbed the ladders and came to the surface. The platman first gave the alarm to John Hodge captain of the shift and then rang an alarm to the men in the faces. Hodge found the water coming in the south drive 5ft high driving the trucks before it and he went back to No. 5 rise at the end of the drive. The water was then up to his breast. Stooping to the bottom of the rise he pulled several of the truckers out of the water and they escaped, also two facemen named Fisher and Menner. The latter was working about 200ft from the rise and had to swim to it. He was almost drowned but was saved by Hodge. Menner says he heard Woods and Chegwin coming behind him. The former said "Better go back to workings we have a chance there we cannot reach No 5." And it is supposed they went back. The water had risen 17ft. by 11 o'clock and at 12 o'clock had reached 20ft up the shaft. The rush of water carried the men down the drive but the following escaped before it reached the shaft—Truckers—J Gunther, J Woods, R Hitchcock, Ed Woods, H Polglaise, A Garton, H Crosbie, E Woods and J Taylor: the platman (Michael Carmody) also escaped as well as three of the facemen viz, Frederick Woods, George Fisher and Charles Menner. The two contractors for the reef drive Mason and Reeves, Gunther, Polglaise, Garton, E. Woods and Taylor came up the shaft by the ladder way. The roll was called and it was found that the following miners were entombed with very little hope of their being brought up alive - John Manly, jun, Jabez Bellingham, Abraham Wyatt, Jas. Minahan, George Baulcombe, James Carmody, Thos Chegwin, Edward Dargon, Fredk. Fisher, John Croughey, Wm Tregloan, James Welch, Wm Curtis, John Gower, Michael Hayes James Temby, Wm Anderson and Wm Surrurier all married men: Benj. Belling ham, Pat Bowen, Edward Woods, Nathaniel Trescothick, Cornelius Kirk, Jno. Thomas Clifton, Jno. Hodge, jun, Peter Moloney, and Thomas Corbett single. The news spread like wildfire and hundreds of people flocked to the claim. The cries of the wives and families of the men below were piteous to hear. Women and children rushed wildly about calling for their husbands and relatives and everything was thrown into disorder by tho crowd. In the meantime Mr English chairman of directors, Mr Nicholas, mining manager, and other members of the directory had arrived, and did all that was possible to get the water down. It steadily gained however although two tanks had been brought to assist the pumps. Every pound of steam that the boilers would carry with safety had been crowded on and 50,000 gallons an hour came from the shaft. Meantime everything possible was prepared to convey air to the men when the water could be reduced to the intermediate level or at any rate low enough to admit of men enterin with safety. :While these preparations have been going on, the cause of the disaster is being discussed by the crowd who are watching patiently for the results. The worst is feared, for unless the men have escaped to the jump-up they have met certain death by drowning; and even if they have escaped to the jump-up there is the possibility and I regret to say probability of suffocation. But all are hoping for the best. At 1 o'clock the welcome news was circulated that the water had been checked. At 2 it began to gradually decrease. At 8 o'clock when I left the claim for the township it was down 5ft, and unless there is a fresh burst they expect to get down by 2 o'clock to the intermediate level. :The No.5 shoot is something like midway between the shaft and the main washdirt workings. The platman on hearing the noise and learning from Reeves as to what had occurred immediately ran down the main washdirt drive to the north, where the whole of the men with the exception of the two contractors for the reef drive were working and shouted to the two repairers John Manly and Thomas Chegwin, that the water had broken away. The two repairers then rushed up in the main drive to acquaint the workmen of what had occurred, in face of the fact that they knew the water was following them in a terrible stream. The captain of the shift, Mr Hodge, did all in his power to save the men in the main drive. When the water came up it was with difficulty that he reached the No 5 shoot, for at about 20ft from that place the water was 4½ft up in the drive, and before he had gained the shoot the water was over the tops of the trucks, on which he had to climb, He got into the shoot and saved five men. The lights were blown out by the strong current, and the men were in the drive in the darkness, and had it not been for Mr. Hodge calling at the shoot it must have been impossible for the five men to have escaped. The scene here was a terrible one. Men groping in the darkness for an escape, the water in the drive being up to their middle, and running with such a force that trucks, logs, and other articles were hurried along in the stream. The whole of the men appear to have heard the alarm, and knew what had happened, for one of the facemen at the most northerly point of the main drive (Charles Menner) reached the No 5 shoot and was saved by Mr Hodge. The sudden rush and great force of the water, however, seems to have created a fear in the minds of the other men that they could not possibly reach the shoot In this they were apparently right, and by malting for the jump-ups they probably took their only chance of escape, for that the whole of the men could not have reached the No. 5 shoot is evident from the fact that Menner only gained that point when he was completely exhausted. :EDWARD WOODS STATEMENT. :Edward Woods, a trucker, states that he was trucking from the workings at the far end of the main drive. Crosbie, John Woods, and Treloar, all truckers, were with him on the same run. The first they knew of the breaking in of the water was the knocking in the air pipes. They at once made for No 5 rise knowing that something was wrong. Woods went up to the No. 2 shoot and called out, "Look out, there's something wrong ." He missed his mates, but met them again on the top of No. 5 rise. Charles Menner followed him down No. 2 rise. Woods and Menner rushed towards No 5 rise. As they were coming down they met John Woods facing, and called to him to cling to the air pipes, but he replied, "No, the water is too strong for me." He was carried off his feet up the level, and they did not see him again. They then went up the shoot, and towards the shaft. :NARRATIVE OF THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIFT :John Hodge, sen., captain of the shift, states that he was in the new reef drive at half past 3 o'clock, and everything was well then. He afterwards went up the main drive to the washdirt workings. At No 9 shoot he was with his son, and afterwards went to No. 5 shoot. Some 20ft. before reaching No 5 shoot the water was up 4½ft in the drive It was coming up the drive in a large and powerful body, taking the trucks and everything in the drive before it. The strong current put the lights out. He got into what is termed the main hole at the shoot, pulled Carmody up, and afterwards E. Woods, H. Crosbie, J. Woods, A. Treloar, and Menner. Menner was almost exhausted. He remained at the shoot calling out in the hope of rescuing any one that might be coming in the drive but could not hear a voice of any kind. When it was impossible, owing to the water having filled the drive, for anyone to come down it to the shoot, he left the main hole climbed about 70ft up the shoot, and got into the intermediate level. :THE PLATMAN'S STATEMENT :Michael Carmoody states that he heard a noise as of a burst of water in the new reef drive. He immediately went up the drive to ascertain what the noise was, and met Reeves coming down the drive. Reeves went back to get his mate Mason, out and he (Carmoody) returned to the plat, and went up the main drive to call the men. He met the truckers and the two repairers, Manley and Chegwin, at the level. He was out of wind at this time. The repairers went further up the drive at the risk of their own lives to warn the men. He told the repairers that the water was rising rapidly but they proceeded up the drive. Before he (Carmoody) got back many yards the water was up to his waist. He swam to the No. 5 shoot in the dark, and was pulled up by the captain of the shift. :A TRUCKER'S STATEMENT. :John Woods, a trucker, states that he was engaged filling trucks at the No. 2 shoot when he heard a cry at No. 1 shoot that the water had broken away. He went in front of the repairers to the No. 5 shoot. The repairers went on to signal to the men at work further up the drive. He (Woods) had to climb along the air pipes, laths, or anything he could grasp, the water at this time being beyond his depth and within 18in. or 2ft. of the cappiece. He cried to the captain of the shift for help, and Mr Hodge pulled him up the shoot. He climbed up the ladder way (about 50ft.), then crawled on his hands and knees about 200ft, came to the next shoot, got into the middle plat, and went up in the cage. :A FACEMAN'S STATEMENT :George Fisher states that he was working with his mate (George Baulcombe) at the end of the main drive when they heard a knock. His mate thought it might be the truckers that were knocking, but soon after John Goer came up the drive and told them that the water had broken away. He (Fisher) got to the No.5 shoot and crawled through it to the intermediate level, saw some of the men going up the No. 10 jump-up. :HENRY POLGLAISE'S STATEMENT :Henry Polglaise, a trucker, was working in the bottom level, and at about half past 5 was trucking from No. 5 shoot to the shoot in the north drive. He saw Reeves run out of the south drive, and heard him call out that the water had broken away. Five others were with him, and all, with the exception of Carmody, rushed up the No. 5 shoot, and knocked on the air pipes. Owing to the noise made by the rush of water the signals were not heard. Carmody got on a truck to go and warn the men, but the truck upset. He (Carmoody) then ran along the level to give the alarm. Gunther, R. Woods, and himself went in what they thought was the direction of the shift. The lights went out, and they had to feel their way by the sides of the drive, but they succeeded in getting to the plat and climbed up the ladders, which they found with great difficulty. :THE MINING MANAGER'S STATEMENT. :William Nicholas, the mining manager, states I have been manager for seven months. At half past 5 o'clock I was called by the braceman, who said that the water had broken away from the reef drive, south-west of the shaft. When I arrived at the intermediate level, I found 10ft. of water in the shaft. Twenty seven men were in the lower level working in the face, who had been driven back into the working, and were unable to get up. The water was then rising fast, and was 20ft up the shaft. The pumps and tanks were set to work. I fixed air pipes in the intermediate level ready to be attached to the pipes in the lower level when the water was sufficiently low. I had not the slightest reason to apprehend any danger in the south-west drive. It was 20ft deeper than the old reef drive from the No. 1 shaft. According to the surveys that have been made the distance from the end of the reef drive from the No. 2 shaft to the old workings should be 100ft. Judging from the appearance of the water—its smell and look-I should imagine it came from the old workings. On Friday a bore was completed 38ft up from the top of the drive. It was not put up from fear of accumulation of water overhead, but to prove the height of the wash. The end of the drive where the water burst in was 20ft ahead of this bore, and 230ft. from the old gutter. On Monday afternoon everything was safe in this drive. The contractors, Mason and Reeves, had no fear that anything was going to happen, and they were taken by surprise. When I went down the shaft I met Fisher crawling on his hands and knees, and sent him up the Shaft, :A DIVER SENT. :Mr J. C Thomson, warden for the district, telegraphed as follows from Ballarat to the Minister of Mines:— ::"Have been at the Australasian mine, The water may not be out to-morrow. It is possible that a diver might be useful if sent at once." :On receipt of this message the Government ordered a diver attached to the Customs department to proceed at once, with his gear, to Creswick. A special tram conveyed him during the night to that town. :THE CAUSES OF THE DISASTER. :All series of rumours are afloat as to the causes of the disaster. It has been asserted that the proximity of heavy water was known, that complaints had been made to the management of the faces "weeping," and that several men had stated their intention of not working there much longer. ln an interview with some of the directors and the mine manager, I am positively assured that not the slightest danger was apprehended and that no complaint was ever made by any man directly or indirectly. Certain it is that the disaster has occurred from the breaking through from the old workings, and the only tangible theory at present advanced is that ground has been taken out by the old company and not marked on the plans, that instead of being nearly 100ft. away they were just on an old drive. The plans of the present workings precluded the possibility of flooding providing the old plans had been correct. :I left the mine at 8 30 p.m., when the water had been decreased 5ft. and was gradually subsiding at midnight it was down 6ft. 6in. and if everything goes well they expect to have it sufficiently lowered to send the air hose attached to the duct machines down No. 5 rise and along the drives to where the majority of the men are believed to be. By this means a stream of pure air will be pumped to them; that is if they are alive. ==Research notes== --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fatalities (M: married, S: Single) :George Baulcomb M :Benjamin Bellingham S :Jabez Bellingham M :James Carmody M :Thomas Chegwin M (repairer) :John.

*Location: Dee Green Colliery, Flint, Flintshire, Wales
*Victims: 9 immediate deaths, at least 2 of the 11 rescued died consequently
*Cause: Explosion
::The explosion occurred at lunch time. It was standard practice for young boys to bring the men's food into the colliery. It is believed that two of these boys entered the workings whilst carrying candles for illumination. It was these naked flames that probably ignited a pocket of gas. Two of these boys were among the dead. {| 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;"|'''Age''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Those they left behind''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Address''' ! 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;"|Edwards, David ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Widow and 3 children ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Flint Mountain ! 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;"|Griffiths, Robert ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|8 ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Bagillt ! 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;"|Jones, David ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Single man ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Flint Mountain ! 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;"|Jones, John ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Widow and 4 children, one newborn ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Bagillt ! 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;"|Jones, J. ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Son of above ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Bagillt ! 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;"| [[Parry-3025|Parry, Shadrach]] ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|12 ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Flint ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Dee_Green_Colliery_Mining_Disaster%2C_Flint%2C_Flintshire%2C_1828 Dee Green Colliery Mining Disaster] |- ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[[Prichard-1506|Prichard, Hugh]] ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Widow and 2 children ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Flint ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Dee_Green_Colliery_Mining_Disaster%2C_Flint%2C_Flintshire%2C_1828 Dee Green Colliery Mining Disaster] |- ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Roberts, Owen ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Widow and 2 children ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Flint ! 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;"|Williams, William ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Widow and 5 children ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Flint Mountain ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"| |-

One is in found in hard-rock deposits, the other in "secondary deposits" where the rock has deteriorated.Spence, Clark C. "A History of Gold Dredging in Idaho" (CO: University Press of Colorado, 2016). All of the traditional methods and devices were used in early Idaho: the long tom, the pan, the rocker, sluicing, and hydraulic mining. Many of the early miners were Chinese that had stopped finding gold in California and rushed to the rich ground in Idaho. In 1870 there were 3,853 Chinese miners and only 2,719 "white" miners. People migrated to the mining towns from all over, and not just to mine.Hawley, James Henry, Editor. "History of Idaho: The Gem of the Mountain," Volume IV (Chicago: The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, 1920). Dr. [[Morris-248|John Baker Morris]] was born in Missouri, attended college in St. Louis, and started is practice in Caldwell county, Missouri before removing to Idaho. He was one of the early professional representatives in Mount Idaho. [[Driscoll-1642|John Lynn Driscoll]] was born in Nebraska, the son of a banker from New York. John and his family relocated to Idaho while he was still in school. He attended college in Nebraska and then returned to Idaho. John was a banker, Vice President of the Boise Live Stock Loan Company, and a member of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. [[Harris-40972|Charles E. Harris]] was born in in Iowa, the son of a carpenter. He attended public school in Idaho and then apprenticed with his father. Charles later relocated to Hailey, Blaine, Idaho where he started a small store and became a successful furniture merchant. Many did, however, go to Idaho to mine. Daniel Chase Corbin, an entrepreneur from Washington, made the brutal journey by train in the spring of 1886.Aiken, Katherine G.. "Idaho's Bunker Hill" (Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 1998), pp. 7-10. He quickly realized that with a proper transportation network the mines would be more profitable. Corbin had two railroad lines: one from Spokane Falls to Hauser Junction, and then the town of Coeur d'Alene. The second would run from Cataldo to Burke. The first year of operation the new railway line carried $3.5 million worth of ore. Early mining was "slow, labor intensive, and dangerous." The miners drove heavy hammers against steel picks to make a hole in the rock for the black powder. When dynamite came into play, this task became a little safer. Water was subject to seasonal interruptions and the forests soon ran low on needed firewood. By 1910 Idaho miners learned, along with states such as California, to dredge inland instead of in the rivers. Bucket dredges, dry-land dredges, and hydraulic dredges were quickly created or adapted for inland mining. Modern day mining includes restoration mandates for any land dug up. In 1980 Congress had required a portion of profits to go to fish and wildlife for any "damage" done to the wildlife. ==Worst Mining Disasters in Idaho== {| border="1" cellpadding="8" align="center" ! align="center" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''Miner Deaths''' {| border="1" cellpadding="8" |- style="background-color: #B5B5B5; height: 20px;" ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Date ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Mine Name ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Location    ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|No. Killed ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Industry ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Disaster Cause |- ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|25-Feb-1917 ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[[Space:North Star Mine Disaster|North Star]] ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Hailey, ID ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|16 ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Gold, Lead, Silver, Zinc ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Snowslide |- ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|6-Oct-1936 ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|[[Space:Morning_Mine|Morning Mine]] ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Mullan, ID ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|10 ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Lead ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Hoisting |} |} == Resources == ===Museums & Memorials in Idaho === * [https://www.idahomuseum.org/ Idaho Museum of Mining & Geology], Boise Idaho.

The early settlers chose the abundant wood over coal for use in homes and businesses. By 1840 the need for coal had drastically increased and mines quickly gained a foothold in the eastern part of the state. Lem Brattain operated the very first mine, located near Farmington. By 1854/55 about 100,000 bushels of coal were mined in the Farmington district. It wasn't until 1860, however, that the coal mining industry showed rapid growth in Iowa.Johnson, David.

In 1894 thee were over eighty mines in operation there. Some of the other mines were smaller, and not mined as vigorously. Overall Iowa mined about 400 tons in the year of 1840, as opposed to the 4,021,739 tons fifty years later. The Buxton mine was an example of the evolution of mining. It was a thriving community for more than twenty years but started to run out of coal by 1920. The last mine was closed in 1927 and Buxton soon became a ghost town. {{Image|file=M_Silva_WikiTree_Space-90.jpg |align=c |size=600 |caption=© by Dave J. at [http://www.miningartifacts.org/Iowa-Mines.html MiningArtifacts.org] }} === Mine Disasters === # [[Space:Lost_Creek_No._2_Mine_Disaster_1902|Lost Creek No. 2 Mine Disaster 1902]], 24 Jan 1902, explosion, 20 deaths === Mine Accidents === # Chicago and Iowa mine, 14 Feb 1893, explosion, 8 deaths # O'Brien mine, 30 Mar 1953, explosion, 5 deaths # Pattison Sand mine, 24 Apr 2008, haulage, 1 death == Resources == === Historical Museums & Monuments === * [https://www.appanoosehistory.com/our-locations-hours Appanoose County Historical & Coal Mining Museum]: ''The historical society owns several of the historical mine-related buildings in Centerville, Iowa. * [https://coalmininglabormuseum.com/ John L.

They created pottery, knives, spears, and paint from the available resources. The military used limestone to build Fort Snelling in Minnesota, but it wasn't until 1868 that the first granite quarry was opened. By then, gold rush miners had flocked to the area. While unsuccessfully looking for gold it was discovered that the ground was rich in iron. The mines attracted immigrants from around the globe. By 2018 up to 44 million tons of ore were mined from the Mesabi Iron Range yearly. In modern times, resources such as copper-nickel have been found as an additional asset to the state.New Survey Reaffirms Strong Support for Copper-Nickel Mining in Minnesota," ''Mining Minnesota'' ([http://www.miningminnesota.com/new-survey-reaffirms-strong-support-for-copper-nickel-mining-in-minnesota/ MiningMinnesota.com]), viewed 22 February 2020.

In 2018 mines in both Minnesota and Michigan shipped 98% of the usable iron ore products in the United States. === Iron Mining === * While Minnesota is the largest producer of iron ore in the United States, most of the high-grade ore has already been mined. Now, a lower grade called taconite is mined, crushed, processed into pellets, and then shipped to steel mills."[https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/education/geology/digging/mining.html Mining in Minnesota]" ''Minnesota Department of Natural Resources'' (DNR.State.MN.US), viewed 7 March 2020. In 1996 about 44 million tons of taconite pellets were shipped from Minnesota. The original ranges that iron was mined from were Cuyuna, Mesabi and Vermilion. Now only the Mesabi Range produces taconite. === Alternate Resources === * Other less common resources mined in Minnesota are contributors to the states economy. ** '''Clay''' is used for bricks, porcelain, tiles and medicine and is mined in the Minnesota River Valley. ** '''Silica Sand''' is very fine sand composed of quartz and is mined in the southeastern part of Minnesota. It is used to make glass and used in oil drilling. ** '''Granite''' and '''Limestone''' are used for home construction, buildings, roads and tombstones. ** '''Peat''', a plant material, is used in the gardening industry and for absorbing oil and fuel ** '''Minerals''' such as manganese, copper, nickel, and titanium are present but not in high enough quality to mine profitably. Though copper and nickel have not been found with a higher quality, 44% of Minnesota residents favored building copper-nickel mines in 2018 after considering the effect on jobs and the states economy."[http://www.miningminnesota.com/new-survey-reaffirms-strong-support-for-copper-nickel-mining-in-minnesota/ New Survey Reaffirms Strong Support For Copper-Nickel Mining In Minnesota]" (MiningMinnesota.com), viewed on 7 March 2020. Michigan produced approximately 19,000 tons of nickel in 2018, which was exported. The first nickel mine in Minnesota was expected to open in 2020.

Mining in Montana began in 1864, when the glint of gold in a prospector’s pan attracted hundreds to the banks of Silver Bow Creek. Mining first centered around Bannack and Virginia City and the miners quickly spread out around the territory seeking new gold fields. The early claims were predominantly placer mines, but by 1870 there were a significant number of underground quartz mines. These mines required a large investment in stamp mills, reduction works, and smelters to treat the ore. Different mining districts produced different metals depending on the geology of the area. For example, Bannack, Virginia City, and Marysville were predominantly gold; Philipsburg was predominantly silver and manganese; and Butte was predominantly copper.http://www.miningartifacts.org/MontanaMines.html : While the first metal mining was for gold and silver, the real mineral wealth of Montana was found it its copper mines around Butte. Butte began as a mining town in the 19th century in the Silver Bow Creek Valley, a natural bowl sitting high in the Rockies straddling the Continental Divide. Originally only gold and silver were mined in the area, but the advent of electricity caused a soaring demand for copper, which was abundant in the area. The small town soon became one of the most prosperous cities in the country, especially during World War I, and was known as "the Richest Hill on Earth". Between 1880 and the early 1990s, Butte produced staggering mineral wealth, including nearly 3 million ounces of gold, 709 million ounces of silver, 855 million pounds of lead, 3.7 billion pounds of manganese, 4.9 billion pounds of zinc, and an incredible 20.8 billion pounds of copper.http://www.miningartifacts.org/MontanaMines.html === Gold Mining === : The discovery of gold brought many prospectors into the area in the 1860s, and Montana became a territory in 1864. The rapid influx of people led to boomtowns that grew rapidly and declined just as quickly when the gold ran out. https://mt.gov/discover/brief_history.aspx : The first gold rush in the West started in California in 1848. One man discovered gold at Sutter’s Mill, and nearly 250,000 people dashed to California to seek their fortunes. The pattern repeated across the West. http://svcalt.mt.gov/education/textbook/Chapter6/Chapter6.pdf : It’s now widely accepted that gold was first discovered in Montana in 1852. Francois Finlay, known as Benetsee, had come up from California and made his discovery west of the Continental Divide in a small creek that would become known as Gold Creek. http://www.bigskywords.com/montana-blog/prospectors-and-the-montana-gold-rush === Silver Mining === : During the 1880s railroads crossed Montana, and the territory became a state in 1889. Hardrock mining also began at this time. Butte became famous when silver and copper were discovered. The Anaconda Copper Company, owned by Marcus Daly, became one of the world's largest copper mining companies and exercised inordinate influence in the state. https://mt.gov/discover/brief_history.aspx : Montana silver mining was a major industry in the 1800s following discovery of numerous silver deposits. Between 1883 and 1891 Montana was second every year to Colorado in silver production, except for 1887 when Montana was number one, producing approximately $15.5 million worth of silver. Major mining districts in Montana included Butte, which was home to many important mines such as the Lexington, Alice, and Moulton mines, and Philipsburg, which housed the Granite Mountain and Bimetallic mines. Other influential, but significantly smaller mines, operated at Helena and the Castle Mountains. The rapid rise and fall of these mines were due to largely geological and economic factors that created favorable conditions for a silver mining boom and subsequent bust. Montana continued to produce considerable silver through most of the 1900s, as a byproduct of copper production at Butte. == Montana Mining Incidents == {| border="1" cellpadding="8" align="center" ! align="center" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''Mining Disasters''' {| border="1" cellpadding="8" |- style="background-color: #B5B5B5; height: 20px;" ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Date''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Mine''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Location''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Deaths''' ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|'''Circumstances''' |- ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|8 Jun 1917 ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[[Space:Granite_Mountain_Copper_Mine_Disaster_1917|Granite Mountain Shaft]] ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Butte, Montana ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|163 ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Copper Mine Fire |- ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|27 Feb 1943 ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|[[Space:Smith_No._3_Mine_Disaster|Smith No. 3]] ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Bearcreek, Montana ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|74 ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"| Coal Mine Explosion |- ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|14 Feb 1916 ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|[[Space:Pennsylvania_Copper_Mine_Disaster|Pennsylvania Mine]] ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Butte, Montana ! align="center" style="background:#EADBEA;"|21 ! align="left" style="background:#EADBEA;"|Copper Mine Fire |- ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|19 Oct 1915 ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|[[Space:Granite_Mountain_Mine_Disaster_1915|Granite Mountain Mine]] ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Butte, Montana ! align="center" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|16 ! align="left" style="background:#C4A6C4;"|Mine Explosion |- |} |} {{Clear}}

On 26 Mar 1896 an explosion of methane and coal dust killed 65 men in the Brunner Mine disaster. A Royal Commission of Inquiry found the presence of conditions supportive of spontaneous combustion. The mine was not adequately monitored. (During operation of the mine, there was inadequate ventilation and insufficient enforcement of statutory requirements.) On 12 Sep 1914, 43 men died in the '''Ralph’s Mine Disaster''' in Huntly, also from an explosion of methane and coal dust. The Royal Commission of Inquiry found inadequate examinations for gas in old workings and inadequate ventilation. Naked lights were used instead of safety lamps. Owners were cited for failure to report injury caused by a previous explosion. There were reports of shot-firing in dusty mine. The inspector failed to ensure strict and immediate compliance with recommendations, failed to require use of safety lamps and did not properly examine old workings. In the '''Kaitangata Mine Disaster''', Otago, which occurred on 21 Feb 1879 due to an explosion of methane, 34 were killed. The Coronial inquest showed that warnings about dangerous practices were not heeded, and insufficient gas record keeping and ventilation, and the use of naked light (open lamp) despite previous detection of methane contributed to the cause. '''In the worst mine disaster in over 100 years and the worst industrial disaster of this century in New Zealand,''' investigations show that it was preventable and should not have happened. In the '''Pike River Mine Disaster''', Greymouth, on 19 Nov 2010 an explosion occurred due to increasing methane levels. 29 miners were trapped and 5 days later, another explosion occurred on 24 Nov 2010. All were confirmed dead. A Royal Commission of Inquiry found methane explosion resulting from a roof fall in the newly started extraction panel pushing methane into the mine workings ignited by an unknown source of ignition. Mine fires resulted and 3 subsequent explosions occurred until the mine was sealed one week after the initial explosion. ===New Zealand's Worst Mining Disasters=== ''Note: The disasters listed below are not the only disasters.

The Independent Disaster Pages include a list of those killed, survived or injured from which individual miner profiles may be created and honored or memorials added to those profiles existing on WikiTree. ==History of Coal Mining in North Carolina== Coal in North Carolina is limited to two belts of Triassic sediment: the sporadic Dan River belt and the larger Deep River belt, which runs along the Deep River in Lee, Moore, and Chatham Counties. Metamorphosed from deposits of vegetable matter into hard, long-burning fuel, coal was utilized in forges in the Carolina colony before the American Revolution. During that war, coal from the Horton Mine, near Cumnock, was used in an ironworks at Gulf in Chatham County. {{Image|file=North_Carolina_Mining_Disasters-2.jpg |caption=Map of the Deep River Coal Field |size=400px }} The Deep River coalfield is the only area in the state known to contain beds of commercial significance. Approximately 35 miles long and between 5 and 10 miles wide, the field contains medium volatile bituminous coal and is centered around 10 miles northwest of Sanford in the Cumnock Formation. The Egypt and Coal Glen Mines produced coal from this seam only intermittently from 1854 to 1953. However, significant periods of operation did occur. Production during the Civil War, especially from the Egypt Mine (in present-day Lee County), was extremely important, as coal was supplied to the Confederate arsenal in Fayetteville and the Charlotte Navy Yard. Coal production retained the war's boost until 1873; other noteworthy periods were 1889-1905 and 1918-30, both mines operating during the latter interval. Although Coal Glen Mine produced about 14,000 tons of coal in 1949, averaging 100 tons per day, production on the Deep River seam ceased in 1953 because of the depth and the many dissecting faults that broke up the field. For these reasons, the area has proven to be uneconomical to mine, even though reserves are estimated to be 110 million tons.[https://www.ncpedia.org/coal by Charles H. McArver, 2006 for the Encyclopedia of North Carolina]. The existence of a coal bed in the Deep River Valley was documented as early as 1775, although knowledge of it was not widespread. Little is known about early efforts to extract the coal, although apparently there was one mine in operation in the county near modern-day Gulf by 1811. Although the presence of coal in Chatham County was noted by state officials as early as the 1830s, it was not highly sought-after until the development of the railroad and the steamship. By the 1850s, a number of mines in the county existed. In November 1853, an auger boring uncovered a coal seam some 400 feet deep at the Egypt site. A shaft was sunk, which reached the vein in February 1856. Production began a few months later, and by May the first advertisements for Egypt coal were issued. Coal was initially transported to Fayetteville by wagon, and steamship transportation quickly followed. The Western Railroad was developed to carry the coal from the mine to Fayetteville. During the Civil War, coal from the mine was utilized by both state and Confederate officials for the railroads, for the Confederate Navy Yard at Charlotte, and for Confederate blockade runners at Wilmington. However, the coal produced at Egypt was not of a high quality and burned quite dark. Therefore, any blockade runners utilizing the coal ran an increased risk of being spotted by Union naval vessels.

[[Category:Staffordshire, Mining Disasters]] [[Project:Worldwide Disasters|Worldwide Disasters Project]] | [[Space:Mining Disasters|Mining Disasters]] | [[Space:England Mining Disasters|England Mining Disasters]] | Staffordshire Mining Disasters == Welcome to Staffordshire Mining Disasters == * Team Leader: [[McHugh-842|Fran Weidman]] *Team Members: [[Moss-8155|David Moss]] This is the index to documented mining disasters in Staffordshire, from the seventeenth to the early twentieth centuries https://www.nmrs.org.uk/mines-map/accidents-disasters/staffordshire/ (accessed 1st June 2022), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Coal_mining_disasters_in_England "Category:Coal mining disasters in England"(accessed 1st June 2022). Names are in the process of being added when identified. Note - incidents that occurred in mines but were probably not due to mining activity, such as the major [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Fauld_explosion RAF Fauld Hanbury] incident, 1944 are not included in this list. This is a list of incidents in which ten or more fatalities were known to occur. Note the number of disasters and fatalities seem to correlate with major conflicts, when presumably there was more pressure to achieve higher production. Note [[Allen-35937|William Shepherd Allen]] was the local MP for Newcastle under Lyme in the same time scale of at least eight of these disasters. A good source of information on local mining hitory is https://www.staffspasttrack.org.uk/exhibit/coal/default.htm "Coal Mining in North Staffordshire" (accessed 14 Mar 2024). {| border="1" cellpadding="8" !

It was there that the swamps developed at the mouths of the rivers flowing into the Central Appalachian Basin. [https://www.dmme.virginia.gov/Dgmr/pdf/coal.pdf Virginia Mining] Sediments that washed off the mountains and accumulated during high sea levels caused pressure and heat at depth. This action over millions of years along with heat and pressure of deep burial caused the dead plant cells to transform into peat and then into coal or "black diamonds." That combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock, "a rock that burns" is classified as a nonrenewable energy source because it takes millions of years to form. Coal contains the energy stored by plants that lived hundreds of millions of years ago in swampy forests. [https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/index.php?page=coal_home Energy Explained] The discovery of coal in colonial Virginia was first reported by Colonel William Byrd in 1701, who noted coal occurrences on the banks of the James River near the town of Manakin at the time. Coal was likely used for domestic purposes even earlier than that by Huguenot settlers. A settlement of Huguenots, near what is now Richmond, Virginia, found a few pieces of bituminous coal in 1700. Fifty years later, a boy hunting crawfish nearby found a bed of bituminous coal. This location - along the James River north of present-day Richmond, Virginia and the Monongahela Valley south of present-day Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - provided most of America's coal mining activity until about 1800. The volume of the early demand for Virginia coal is suggested in the fact that Virginia miners shipped six hundred bushels of coal to England in 1758. Before the American Revolution, coal was exported from the Richmond area to Philadelphia, New York, and as far north as Boston. One Samuel Davis advertised coal for sale at Richmond for 12 pence per bushel in the Virginia Gazette July 1776.Boucher, John. "History of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, Volume I", Lewis Publishing Company, 1906, Westmoreland Co., PA, page 459 During the Revolutionary War, an iron furnace located at Wesham on the James River used coal to produce shotshell until in 1783 the furnace was destroyed by General Benedict Arnold. [Rottenburg, Dan. "In The Kingdom Of Coal An American Family and the Rock That Changed the World".Published in 2003 by Routledge, New York, N. Y., p.p 17-18.] For many of the hardscrabble farmers of the southwestern part of Virginia, coal mining represented opportunity and security when the rich barons came to find workers to bring that black gold out of the mountains. One of those young farmers was a fourteen-year-old named [[Givens-1288|Charles Saylor Givens]], who in 1909 started working in the Stonega's Arno mine. The Stonega Coal and Coke Company in Big Stone Gap, Virginia was the pioneer (1896) in the production of coal in Southwest Virginia. [[Wikipedia:Stonega_Virginia|Wikipedia: Stonega, Virginia]] {{Wikidata|Q7619169|enwiki}} "Saylor," as he was known, started by driving a mule-drawn coal cart, then became a full-fledged miner at Stonega's Imboden mine. Saylors's six sons, his four brothers, his three brothers-in-law, his cousins, his nephews, and even his father went work to for Stonega. Since the 1950s, all of Virginia's coal production has come from the Southwest Virginia Coalfield, an area about 1,550 square miles, which includes all of Buchanan and Dickenson counties, most of Wise County, and portions of Russell, Scott, Lee, and Tazewell counties.[https://www.dmme.virginia.gov/Dgmr/coal.shtml Virginia Dept. of Minerals and Energy Virginia Dept. of Minerals and Energy] '''COAL PRODUCTION IN VIRGINIA AND THE DECLINE''' {{Image|file=Virginia_Mining_Disasters.jpg |align=l |size=l }} In the state of Virginia, coal mining takes place in the three mountainous regions at 45 distinct coal beds near Mesozoic basins. Mining operations in Virginia produced 12.8 million short tons of coal in 2017 with an estimated value of $781 million. Coal production in Virginia has fallen about 73 percent from the peak output reported in 1990 (46.6 million short tons) as the more accessible coal deposits have been mined out. Despite the decline in annual output, the value of Virginia's coal continued to increase up till 2011 as global demand and prices for higher quality metallurgical coal and steam coal increased. After the global economic downturn in the late-2007 to 2009, the export price of coal peaked at just over $200 per ton. As a result, the market value of Virginia's coal went up to just over $3 billion in 2011. After 2011, worldwide coal prices retreated and the annual value of Virginia's coal output in 2015 dropped below $1 billion for the first time since 2004. Metallurgical coal prices saw a boost in 2017, averaging about $135 per ton. This price increase was due to the concerns for the supply shortage of coking in Asia. [https://www.dmme.virginia.gov/Dgmr/coal.shtml Virginia Mining] U. S. coal mining continues to decline. Alternate energy sources such as natural gas, solar panels and wind power are gaining favor as scientists, politicians and economist debate coal's future.[https://www.dmme.virginia.gov - Dept. of Mines Minerals and Energy], Virginia.gov ==Worst Mining Disasters== The following were the worst coal mining disasters in Virginia's history killing nearly 200 men. Please see the individual disaster pages linked below for more information. ==Laurel Mine 1884 Explosion== In the early morning of March 13, 1884, a horrible deadly explosion in one of the Pocahontas coalfields awakened residents living near the Laurel mine in the southwest corner of Tazewell Co., Virginia on the Flat Top mountains that bordered West Virginia. The loud blast in the Laurel mine was so powerful it had knocked houses located within three hundred feet from the drift-mouth off their foundations, some were totally destroyed. There was no loss of lives outside the mine, but inside 112 miners died in the first of these parts and worst mining disaster in the state of Virginia. Of the hundred and twelve miners killed; fifteen were known to have families, the others were single men. The mine experts at the time agreed that a large body of gas must have exploded within the mine. The Laurel mine was fairly new; there were no old workings to generate foul gases, and the presence of gas had not been detected prior to the explosion. At the time of the deadly explosion, about 1500 people lived in the area of the Pocahontas coke works. The Laurel Mine was owned and operated by Improvement Company, their main office was located in Quaker City, Philadelphia. [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/28373170/the_weekly_courier/ A Coal Mine Crematory], The Weekly Courier, 28 Mar 1884 ==Bright Hope Mine Disaster 1867== That terrible colliery explosion in Virginia was heard at a distance of eight miles. - sixty-nine killed on that Wednesday afternoon about 2:15 at Bright Hope in 1867, the third day of March. Bright Hope was opened in 1857. An explosion occurred previously in 1859, killing nine. '''Cause of The Explosion''' It was suspected that gas had accumulated in large amounts in a chamber, and that the deputy gas man had failed to report it, or that they had made no examination of the portion of the mine where the first explosion occurred; concluding that when the mule driver, who carried a candle on his hat, passed, the gas rushed out, took fire, and caused the explosion.

Coal in the Appalachian region is what automobiles were to Detroit and oil is to Texas. The '''Pocahontas Exhibition Coal Mine and Museum''' in Pocahontas, Virginia, was the first exhibition coal mine in the nation. It's the oldest attraction of it's kind, opening in 1938.

Meador, Jr. to whom the museum is dedicated, was an advocate of the coal-mining industry. In 1972 property located in Big Stone Gap., Virginia that once was the library and study of John Fox, Jr., author of "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" and other folk classics; was purchased by Westmoreland Coal Company owners. The owners felt that a coal museum would be a meaningful and valuable project. Harry W. Meador, Jr. Coal Museum is now owned by the town of Big Stone Gap (Stonga), Va., and is operated by the Big Stone Gap Parks and Recreation Department. The Meador coal museum has memorabilia about the coal mine industry, huge equipment outside, and everything pertaining to mining. Photos and maps on display tell the story of the coal mining history in this southwestern town of Big Stone Gap in Wise County, Virginia.

The museum opened in 2003. You can get an idea of the life of the people who worked in the coal and railroad industry. Visitors can enjoy exhibits of coal and railroad memorabilia, donated by the residents of Dante and former residents of the surrounding community. [https://www.myswva.org/venue/dante-coal-mining-and-railroad-museum Dante Museum] There is a '''Dante Coal Miner's Memorial''' that honors those Dante men who worked in the mines and gives special recognition to those who died underground. Names have been placed on the memorial by friends and family. '''Official Coal Miners' Memorial for the Commonwealth of Virginia''' The Miner's Memorial in Richlands, Tazewell County, Virginia was named the '''Official Coal Miner's Memorial for the Commonwealth of Virginia''' on 22 June 2009. "It is meant to memorialize those who have lost their lives in the hazardous profession of coal mining and to honor the living men and women who continue to go into the darkness to make a living." There are 1,200 names of persons who lost their lives in the coal mines of Buchanan, Russell, and Tazewell counties on the back of the black granite monument. The front has images of the industry; it is life-size, a lifelike bronze statue in front of the monument, portrays a miner on his way home after a day in the mine. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_Coal_Miners%27_Memorial_for_theCommonwealth_of_Virginia Virginia Coal Miners' Memorial] ==Resources and "Read More About It"== Environmental Impact of The Coal Industry ... can result in a number of adverse effects on the environment, which include issues such as waster management, land use, air and water pollution caused by the coal mining, processing and the use of its product. Coal is the largest contributor to the human-made increase of CO2 in the atmosphere. Addition to the atmospheric pollution, coal burning produces hundreds of millions of tons of solid waste annually, including bottom/fly ash, and flue-gas desulfurization sludge, which contains arsenic, mercury, thorium and uranium, and other heavy metals. Not to mention the loss of lives and the severe health problems caused by mining the coal. Due to the decline of jobs related to coal mining, a study found roughly one American suffers a premature death from coal pollution for every job remaining in coal mining. [https://www.iflscience.com/these-two-industries-kill-more-people-than-they-employ-51605 These Two Industries Kill More People Than They Employ] Efficiency Can Lead U. S. to Cleaner Energy Future ... It is cheaper and cleaner to replace retiring coal-fired power plants with wind and solar power and energy efficiency upgrades rather than burden the U. S. with expensive and climate-polluting natural gas plants, as stated in a report released by the (NRDC's) Natural Resources Defence Council. Adopting cleaner efficient energy and making smart efficiency choices in our homes can be a start for our environment and our future generations. And it will protect Americans from electricity bill spikes from potential natural gas price increases, NRDC's report, "Clean Energy and Efficiency Can Replace Coal for Reliable Modern Electricity Grid." [https://www.nrdc.org Clean Energy and Efficiency Can Replace Coal for a Reliable, Modern Electricity Grid] Robert Murray, CEO of the largest U. S. private coal miner, said that coal employment "can't be brought back to where it was before the election of Barack Obama." A spokesman, for a provider of electricity to several million customers in the state of Michigan, said: "Many of our coal plants are aging and need to be replaced with cleaner, modern generating technologies, which is what our customers are asking of us and we plan to continue to achieve these goals." The clean energy sector is one of the fastest job-creators in the U. S. economy - millions of jobs and counting. According to the U. S. Department of Energy data. These jobs include millions of Americans working in energy efficiency, nearly a half million in clean power generation, and 4000,000 in advanced electric grid and clean transportation. Could replacing retiring coal plants with increased efficiency, renewable energy, and improved grid management - instead of building costly new natural gas pipelines and power plants, help the U. S. to avoid being locked into a "fossil fuel-dependent future?" That simple answer is, YES! A clean energy expansion will benefit the environment and economically, not to mention the benefits to our health. ==Sources== *[http://www.gendisasters.com/mainlist/Virginia/Mining%20Explosions%20and%20Accidents Virginia Mining Disasters] *[https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/mining/statistics/content/allminingdisasters.html CDC Mining Disasters] *[https://usminedisasters.miningquiz.com/Mine_Disasters/search_coal_state.asp?ACC_STATE_NAME=Virginia Virginia Coal Mine Disasters], USMRA

As the railroad stretched further and reached more locations, the need for the coal mines grew. Coal was not only used to power the railroads, it was also used to heat the homes being built in the new mining towns. The largest mines were located in King County (Black Diamond, Franklin, and Renton), Pierce County (Carbonado), Kittitas County (Roslyn), and Lewis County (Centralia). : Eventually, oil and natural gas became competitors for heating homes and building and the Pacific Northwest moved to hydroelectric generation. The last of the underground mines in Washington was closed in 1975. Centralia, the last open pit mine, was closed in 2006. == Coal Mine Incidents == {| border="1" cellpadding="8" align="center" ! align="center" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''Mining Disasters''' {| border="1" cellpadding="8" |- style="background-color: #B5B5B5; height: 20px;" !

[[Category: Wyoming, Mining Disasters]] [[Project:Disasters|Disasters]] | [[Space:Mining Disasters|Mining Disasters]] | [[Space:United_States_Mining_Disasters|United States Mining Disasters]] | [[Category: Wyoming, Mining Disasters]]| '''Wyoming Mine Disasters''' ==State Mining History== {{Image|file=Dean_s_Photos-1.png |align=l |size=125 }} The first record of a coal deposit in Wyoming was in 1843 by the second Frémont Expedition. [[Fremont-14|Lt. John C. Frémont]], guided by [[Carson-1112|Kit Carson]], set out to explore routes to Oregon with the intent to gather, publish and promote new settlement in the West. In August 1843, a few days after crossing the Green River in what’s now western Wyoming, Frémont noted coal was displayed “in rabbit burrows in a kind of gap” in hills through which the travelers passed before camping late one afternoon. Carbon was the first company town in Wyoming, on the Union Pacific line southwest of Medicine Bow, founded by Thomas Wardell in 1868 and incorporated in 1890. Seven mines were worked in Carbon and the town supported a population of about 3,000 people. Later that year The Wyoming Coal and Mining Company opened the Rock Spring's No. 1 Mine. The earliest exploitation of Wyoming coal was a bit of a scandal. At the time, the Union Pacific (UP) Railroad owned the land and mineral rights along the east to west route but didn't own a mining company. In the late 1860's the Wyoming Coal and Mining Company was the Union Pacific’s coal supplier. The problem for UP was that the coal company's stocks were owned by Oliver Ames, President of the Wyoming Mining and Coal Company and five of the Union Pacific's directors. The company could sell coal at highly inflated prices to UP. As a result, the UP formed the Union Pacific Coal Department in 1874 which took charge of the railroad's coal supply. During the late 1860's and into the 1870's coal production in the state was over one million tons per year, and by 1890 that amount had reached nearly two million tons per year. By the turn of the century almost three million tons of coal were being mined. By 1890 however, the Union Pacific's wholly owned subsidiary the Union Pacific Coal Department had been replaced by the Union Pacific Coal Company which was producing most of the state’s coal from mines located near Rock Springs, Hanna and Carbon. Larson, T. A. "Mining, Then and Now." Historical Wyoming Coal Mine Information. N.p., n.d. Web. 22 Apr. 2017. https://archive.is/jElcw#selection-839.0-851.468 In 1899, the railroad was relocated to Hanna, just northwest of Carbon, to avoid climbing a steep grade. The Hanna mine then became the main supplier of coal for train locomotives. The mines and the town of Carbon were finally abandoned in 1902 by the UP Coal Company. All that remains of the town is the cemetery, dugouts that served as houses on the hillside, and a few of the sandstone walls and foundations from the buildings that made up this once flourishing coal town. The Coal Business in Wyoming. Chamois L. Andersen, Web. 17 Apr. 2017. http://www.wyohistory.org/encyclopedia/coal-business-wyoming ===Local Mining Histories=== : '''Below is the local mining histories for each of the towns and/or counties for which a mining disaster tragically happened during the period between 1868 to 1942.''' ====Afton==== Afton, Wyoming is in the Northwest part of Lincoln County off Highway 89. The town was founded by Mormon settlers along the Lander cutoff of the Oregon Trail. The town is in the Star Valley region and is separated from the rest of the state by the Salt River Range. Reel, Estelle. The Star Valley, Afton. Wyoming Tales and Trails, n.d. Web. 17 July 2017. http://www.wyomingtalesandtrails.com/afton.html Not much history is record about the early years on the coal mining in the area. However, the area is still being mined for other mineral currently. If you have additional information about the early years of coal mining Afton please let me know so it can be added. {{Image|file= Dean_s_Photos-44.jpg |align=c |size=580 |caption=''Looking up from Afton Canyon'' }} ====Almy==== Almy, Wyoming is located North of Evanston, off Highway 89. In the summer of 1868, mining camps started opening in the surrounding Bear River valley. Dreams of prosperity lured miners from England, Scandinavia, China, and from throughout the United States to settle in "Wyoming Camp", which later became Almy. Named for James T. Almy, a clerk for the Rocky Mountain Coal Company, and located 3 miles north west of Evanston, Almy was strung out along the Bear River for five miles. This particular "string town" owed its existence solely to coal mining. Her 4000 residents suffered more than their share of mining tragedies. Finally, in 1900 the mines were closed by the Union Pacific due to labor troubles and explosions. "SHPO Monuments and Markers." Legend of Almy. Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office, n.d. Web. 6 July 2017. http://wyshpo.uwyo.edu/mmdatabase/ {{Image|file= Dean_s_Photos-12.jpg |align=c |size=580 |caption=''Coal Mines at Almy 1871'' }} ====Cumberland==== Cumberland, Wyoming originally called "Little Muddy”, is located South of Kemmerer, Wyoming on the Uinta County line. It consisted of four camps, Cumberland No. 1, Cumberland No. 2, South Cumberland, and Cumberland Gap. Coal camps in the Rocky Mountain West consisted of Company owned towns in which everything, the store, the schools, the public hall, belonged to the Coal Company. The Cumberland mines, owned by the Union Pacific Coal Company, opened in 1900 after the discovery of two seams by engineer in charge August Paulson. Paulson later served as mayor of Superior, Wyoming, another Union Pacific Coal town. http://www.wyomingtalesandtrails.com/coalcumberland1.html {{Image|file= Dean_s_Photos-40.jpg |align=c |size=580 |caption=''Cumberland Mine No. 2'' }} {{Image|file= Dean_s_Photos-41.jpg |align=c |size=450 |caption=''Mine Hoist at Cumberland Mine'' }} {{Image|file= Dean_s_Photos-42.jpg |align=c |size=350 |caption=''Coal Miner’s at Cumberland Mine'' }} ====Diamondville==== Diamondville, Wyoming is located South of Kemmerer, Wyoming. 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'' }} ====Hanna==== Hanna, Wyoming is located West of Cheyenne, just off Interstate 80. The town was established in 1889, when the Union Pacific Railroad needed a reliable fuel source to run its massive coal-fired engines. After the coal mines in Carbon, Wyoming ran out, it hastily formed the Union Pacific Coal and opened a mine at Chimney Springs. Chimney Springs was renamed Hanna in honor of [[Hanna-1481|Marcus A. Hanna]], a member of Union Pacific Company management and an Ohio United States Senator. Hanna, Wyoming was founded and built by the Union Pacific Coal Company for its workers and their families. The Union Pacific Coal Company owned everything in each of the towns, there was a total of three towns. Within the towns, it included the boarding house, the general store and the miners' houses that were rented to them by the month. Hanna was a major hub of the emerging transportation industry of the day with the Union Pacific Railroad and the Overland Trail passing through. Throughout the early years, the Union Pacific Coal Company mines located in Hanna experienced many accidents ending in fatalities. However, only mine No. 1 of the mines owned by the Union Pacific Coal Company experienced three separate 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-54.jpg |align=c |size=580 |caption=''Hanna Town Site and Mine's No. 1 and No. 2 during Winter of 1889'' }} {{Image|file=Worldwide Disasters Project Images-55.jpg |align=c |size=480 |caption=''Early Development of Mine's No. 1 and No. 2'' }} ====Kemmerer==== Kemmerer, Wy is located North of Interstate 80 off Highway 30. 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'' }} ==== Rawlins ==== Rawlins, Wyoming is located on Interstate 80 were Highway 287 begins. Rawlins, originally Rawlins Springs, was founded in 1868 with the arrival of the Railroad and named by Granville M. Dodge after Gen. John A. Rawlins, who visited the area on a tour of the west in 1867. Within two years it had attained a population of 574 including 81 members of the military assigned to Fort Rawlins. It was incorporated as a municipality in 1886. Carbon County, itself, predates the formation of Wyoming Territory and was created by the Dakota Legislature and included present day Natrona and Johnson Counties. http://www.wyomingtalesandtrails.com/rawlins.html {{Image|file=Dean_s_Photos-43.jpg |align=c |size=400 |caption=''Front Street in Rawlins'' }} ==== Rock Springs ==== Rock Springs, Wyoming is located on Interstate 80 were Highway 191 begins. The first documented mention of coal in the Rock Springs area came from an 1850 U.S. Army survey party seeking a quicker way through what’s now Wyoming. The party was commanded by Howard Stansbury and guided by the famous mountain man, Jim Bridger. Stansbury noted, “We found a bed of bituminous coal cropping out of the north bluff of the valley, with every indication of its being quite abundant.” Propst, Chris. "Rock Springs, Wyoming." WyoHistory.org, n.d. Web. 13 July 2017. http://www.wyohistory.org/encyclopedia/rock-springs-wyoming The Rock Springs mines were vital to the Union Pacific railroad in its early stages of formation. U.P. President Charles Adams is quoted as saying they were the “salvation of the UP; those mines saved it. Otherwise the UP would not have been worth picking up.” By September of 1868, mining efforts started near Rock Springs when Thomas Wardell and his Missouri minors opened the no. 1 mine in Rock Springs. The no. 1 mine went on to become one of the largest coal mines in the West. Rock Springs coal was considered the highest quality coal found along the Union Pacific mainline. Larsen, Abe. "THEN & NOW: Coal Mining in Sweetwater County." Sweetwaternow.com, 19 Nov. 2015. Web. 13 July 2017. http://www.sweetwaternow.com/now-wyoming-coal/ Incorporated in 1888, Rock Springs owes much of its existence to the mining industry, boasting as many as 10 coal mines in the downtown area alone at one point. {{Image|file=Dean_s_Photos-18.jpg |align=c |size=450 |caption=''Union Pacific Coal Mines Nos. 7 and 9'' }} {{Image|file=Dean_s_Photos-17.jpg |align=c |size=400 |caption=''Rock Springs Coal Miners'' }} ==== Sublet ==== Sublet, Wyoming was located North of Kemmerer which is on Highway 189. Mines No. 5 and No. 6 of the Kemmerer Coal Company being located here. The Oregon Short Line Railroad https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Oregon_Short_Line_Railroad spur was completed to Sublet in 1907 and the town was soon afterward incorporated. The town was named for the Sublette family in the area but the spelling has been corrupted. Sublet. Wyoming Places, n.d. Web. 17 July 2017. http://wyomingplaces.pbworks.com/w/page/12716451/Sublet The town of Sublet does not exist anymore. If you have additional information about Sublet please let me know so it can be added. {{Image|file=Dean_s_Photos-19.jpg |align=c |size=450 |caption=''Town of Sublet, Wyoming'' }} {{Image|file=Dean_s_Photos-20.jpg |align=c |size=450 |caption=''Sublet Tipple No. 5 Mine'' }} ===Coal Mine Disasters=== During the late the 1800's and after the turn of the century coal mining techniques hadn't fully developed to today's standards, but then like now every miner wanted to make it home for dinner. From the beginning of mining near Carbon in 1868 until 1942, 23 separate mine disasters resulting in the death of at least one miner and in multiple cases over a hundred miners lost their lives. However, according to the U.S. Bureau of Mines, the term “disaster” applies to any mine mishap in which five or more miners are killed. But for this instance we are going to pay our respects to all of the miners who have lost their lives working the coal mines in the State of Wyoming. Of course, this number does not count the individual incidents where individual miners often were killed, lost limbs or were otherwise maimed by cave-ins, explosions or equipment malfunctions within the mines. Roberts, Phil. "The Most Dangerous Occupation: The Quest for Safety in Wyoming’s Coal Mines." WyoHistory.org, n.d. Web. 4 July 2017. http://www.wyohistory.org/encyclopedia/coal-mine-safety However, for this project even those explosions that claimed the lives of one miner are being written about, because their sacrifice is worth being recognized. These 23 disasters have claimed the lives of approximately '''525''' miners and left countless families without fathers, sons, brothers, grandfathers and uncles. These numbers are approximate due to the limited and vague lists provided by the newspaper articles and sources available. Below are the dates and locations of these mining disasters. ==== Mining Disaster Chart ==== {| border="1" cellpadding="8" align="center" ! align="center" style="background:#B5B5B5;"|'''Wyoming Mining Disasters''' {| border="1" cellpadding="8" |- style="background-color: #B5B5B5; height: 20px;" !
