Falling rock in a Spring Canyon mine of the Standard Coal Co. killed 41-year-old Paul D'Ambrosio of Price yesterday afternoon.

D'Ambrosio was struck on eh head by a large slag of cat rock which fell from the roof. A brother and a brother-in-law were working with him at the time.

James Dale, American, aged 17 years, single, was killed in the Winter Quarters mine March 25th, 1908, by a trip of cars. Dale was employed as a trapper on the day of the accident in place of the regular trapper, who was idle on account of sickness. At the place of accident every provision had been made in building the door to make it safe for the trapper; there was a recess or safety hole dug in the entry side eight feet deep and three feet four inches wide, beside a rope eight feet long fastened to handle of door, so that the trapper could open the door with rope without going out of safety hole. It is probably that the boy got bewildered and went onto track to open door, and in opening the door the empty trip hit the door before it was fully opened, knocking Dale under the cars, as his body was found under the sixth car.

Scofield, March 26, - James Dale, the son of Hyrum Dale, an old timer of Winter Quarters, had his back broken in the Winter Quarters mines this afternoon and died about an hour later. The accident occurred on the tenth raise of the mine.

Scofield, March 28, - James Dale, the 18-year old son of Hyrum Dale of Winter Quarters, was killed at the mine of the Utah Fuel company at that place on Tuesday, by being crushed between cars and afterwards run over. He died on being taken out of the mine. He was the only one working out of a family of ten persons and his death will be keenly felt.

Cornelio Dalla Corte was born October 4, 1891 in Savramonte, Beluno, Italy, a son of Giovanni and Domenica Dallmolin Dala Corte. He was single and worked as a coal miner. He died in a mine accident at Utah Fuel Mine in Sunnyside, Utah on May 9, 1945. He is buried in the Price City Cemetery.

Price - Four miners were entombed deep inside the Spring Canyon Coal Co. mine 13 miles northwest of here early today when a "bounce" caused a severe cave-in.

A company official said it was not known if the men were buried by the fall of coal and rock or if they were trapped-possibly safely-behind it. "We're hopeful they are behind it and safe," he said.

The cave-in site is about 5,000 feet from the main mine entrance. It is 2,000 feet down the hillside mine's fourth left lateral where the mine itself dips downward.

Families of the men waited outside the mine entrance for any word on whether the four men were alive. The four have a total of 11 children.

It was believed the cave-in, which accompanied the "bounce" or sudden pressure change inside the mine, occurred between 1 and 1:30 a.m.

The ground shock from the bounce was so severe it loosened the entire top face of coal in the cave-in area and workers were forced to timber their rescue shaft as they tunneled toward the trapped men.

The spokesman said the latest report was that rescue workers had tunneled 800 feet through the giant pile of debris in an effort to reach the miners.

The four trapped men were identified as William Daniels, 47, the mine face boss; his son-in-law, Dean Nielsen, 29, the shuttle car operator; Cecil Garcia, 36, a rope rider, and Keith Anderson, 30, a motorman. Garcia is from Helper. The other three are from Spring Canyon.

Price - The body of one of four trapped coal miners was recovered this afternoon. He was Cecilio Garcia, 36, father of four children. There was no word of the other men.

SPRING CANYON - Blackfaced, dirty workers recovered today the body of a third man trapped deep in a coal mine by an earth tremor that caused a cave-in.

A fourth man was still caught somewhere under tons of rock and rescuers held no hope he would be found alive. He is Dean Nielsen, 27.

The body of Keith Anderson, 30, was uncovered this morning. Both he and Nielsen were from Spring Canyon, a tiny company mining town of dreary brown sandstone about 120 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.

Late last night workmen, erecting timbers as they proceeded, against the possibility of further cave-ins, uncovered the body of William Daniels, 47, also of Spring Canyon.

Earlier they found the body of Cecilio Garcia, 36, the father of seven children from nearby Helper. He was not caught beneath the torrent of falling coal set loose when a "bounce" - a shift in the mountain above the mine-sent the rocks crashing down.

Garcia apparently was hit on the head by a flying rock. A doctor said he never knew what hit him.

Rescuers at first hoped for another miracle such as occurred at nearby Sunnyside two years ago when three men survived after being buried in a similar cave-in for 72 hours.

There was no such miracle here. The faces of the workers showed they knew it as they marched wearily away from the mine portal after a shift of rescue work.

Two officials expressed what the miners hadn't the heart to say.

The mine manager, C. E. Pauley, said he didn't see how the men could be found alive. And Clair Nowren, a safety engineer, said it was inconceivable.

The four men were working overtime to remove equipment from one of the shafts that honeycomb a mountain. If they had left at the end of their regular shift, the mine would have been empty.

All Utah joins the bereaved families and friends of the four victims of the Spring Canyon coal mine disaster in mourning his tragedy.

While investigation has not been completed, this appears to be the kind of coal mine accident that is practically unavoidable. A "bounce" or earth slip above the tunnel in which the men were working caused a sudden cave-in, filling the tunnel with coal dust. An electric wire short or other spark caused by the cave-in set off an explosion.

The mine had been inspected only about six weeks ago, but a state safety inspector was quoted as saying: "No inspection could foretell this."

Underground mining by the very nature of things is a hazardous occupation. Despite, all the safety precautions in the world, some accidents will happen. Utah actually has had quite a safe record, for this is the worst coal mine disaster in years.

This does not lessen the blow to those bereaved. It is bleak tragedy to four wives suddenly made widows, to 17 children of the four men, and to two children yet unborn. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to them.

PRICE - The body of the third of four Carbon County miners trapped early Friday in a mine cave-in was brought to the surface at 10:20 a.m. Saturday.

The badly crushed and burned body of Keith Arthur Anderson, 30, was found under tons of rock and coal about 5,000 feet from the shaft entrance in an unused section of the Spring Canyon Coal Co. mine.

Previously recovered were the bodies of Cecilio Garcia, 35, of Helper, brought up at noon Friday, and face boss William Daniels, 47, recovered late Friday evening.

Still missing and presumed dead is Russell Dean Nielsen, 29, son-in-law of Mr. Daniels. From the position of the bodies already recovered, officials believed Mr. Nielsen is buried under eight feet of rock some 80 feet further down the choked shaft.

Rescue work was hampered all day Friday by an explosion and fire following the cave in, which was caused by a "bounce" or shift in the mountain above the mine. All fallen rock must be recovered and removed from the shaft by hand, further slowing efforts to reach Mr. Nielsen.

Keith Arthur Anderson was born at Emery, Emery County, September 6, 1927, the son of Clinton C. and Florence Abelin Anderson. He married Edna Sheets. He had been a resident of Spring Canyon for the past nine years.

Surviving are his parents, Carbonville; widow, three daughters, Susanne, Connie and Dawn, Spring Canyon; two brothers and one sister, Preston C. U. S. Navy, Fallon, Nev.; Maurice, Carbonville; Mrs. Rine Erickson, Spring Canyon.

Funeral will be Tuesday at 1 p.m. in Price Tabernacle, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with burial in Emery Cemetery.

William Daniels was born March 23, 1910, Lafayette, Colo., the son of Charles and Jeannie Daniels. He was married to Elsieanna Mitchell at Grand Junction, Colo. In 1933. He had been a resident of Spring Canyon since 1952.

Surviving are his parents, Oak Creek, Colo.; his widow, three sons and two daughters, Gilbert, Steamboat Springs, Colo; Stanley, U. S. Navy, San Diego, Calif.; Charles Albert, Emily Jane, and Mrs. Dean Nielsen, Spring Canyon; and a brother, Albert, Carlsbad, N.M.

Cecilio Garcia, was born March 29, 1921 in Canyoncito, N. M. son of Fredencio and Garguerita Gurule Garcia. He was married to Solema Garcia in Helper, June 3, 1945.

He is survived by his wife and the following children: Virginia, Linda Sue, Lucy Margie, Mary Jean, Lawrence Cecil and Eddie F. all of Helper; four brothers, Dommitlio, Lee, Ferman and Joe; two sisters, Sophia Chevez and Livie Lucero. The Rosary will be said Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in Mitchell Funeral Home. Requiem Mass will be said Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. in Helper St. Anthony Church.

PRICE - Rescue workers Saturday uncovered the mangled body of a third miner, one of four trapped Friday thousands of feet inside a mountain coal mine.

Digging continued for the fourth miner under a 2,000 foot long caved in tunnel of the Spring Canyon Coal Co. mine 13 miles northwest of Price. The cave-in was followed by an explosion and fire.

The victim found this morning was Keith Anderson, 30, Spring Canyon.

The find further weakened hopes that the fourth miner, Dean Nielsen, 29, Spring Canyon, would be found alive. Workers said they had found no trace of him by mid-morning

Friday the body of Cecelio Garcia, 36, was found. Late Friday night rescue workers found the body of William Daniels, 47.

Daniels and Garcia, along with Anderson and Nielsen, Daniel's son-in-law, were working overtime removing old tracks and equipment when the tunnel collapsed with an earthquake-like bounce which dumped tons of coal, rock and debris on the men.

Teams of rescue workers reached Garcia's body shortly after noon Friday, 11 hours after the cave-in occurred. He was found in a clear area at the far end of the caved in section.

Officials said his skull had been crushed by falling debris.

The other three miners were trapped beneath the fall itself.

From the start, rescue crews knew there was little chance any of the three could be found alive.

However, the rescuers remember another mine cave-in near here April 18, 1956 at the Sunnyside mine of Kaiser Steel Co. In that cave-in, three of four trapped miners were found "miraculously" alive after nearly 40 hours entombment.

Rescue crews from the Sunnyside mine joined Spring Canyon workers in the rescue effort.

Diggers encountered fires inside the mine Friday but extinguished them.

Mike Dantis, a miner employed by the Royal Coal company, was killed in the Rolapp mine about 8 o'clock Thursday morning by a fall of rock. Dantis was badly bruised by the cave-in and according to the company physician suffered a fractured skull as well as other injuries. Funeral services were held from the Greek Orthodox Church in Price Sunday afternoon with interment in the Price cemetery. J. E. Flynn Funeral Parlors were in charge of the body.

Officials of the company claim to know little of Dantis' personal history. He is a native of Greece and is thought to be about forty years of age. It is believed that he has no immediate relatives living in America. He was born in Greece the son of Harry and Anastasia Dantis.

PRICE, Jan. 31 - Mike Dantis, a miner at the Royal Coal company's mine at Rolapp, was killed about 8:15 a.m. Thursday by a fall of rock within the mine.

Dantis was badly bruised and, according to the company physician, suffered a fractured skull as well as other serious injuries.

Richard Dark, an American, 40 years old and single, was killed October 21, 1919, Kenilworth Mine No. 1, by being struck by a slab of coal 8 inches thick, 8 feet long and 4 1/2 feet wide, which tapered down to ¼ inch on the outer edge, which broke off close by one of the props while he was removing track from entry stops. He was instantly killed.

Steve Dashos, a Greek miner, aged 26 years, single, was injured on the third entry, first rise, Winter Quarters mine, June 12th, 1912, from which injuries he died about two hours later.

Dashos and partner were engaged in taking down roof coal on the entry and retimbering this portion of the entry to make a safe haulage road. Just at quitting time, Dashos suggested that they carry back some loose rails from the inside of their working places, so that in the event of a cave, the rails would not be buried. While carrying the rails back, a bounce occurred, which brought down considerable top coal that was hanging over the rib of the entry, burying Dashos. While his partners were attempting to release him, another heavy bounce occurred, bringing down more coal and crushing him.

Stella Daskas of the island of Crete, southern Europe, will receive from the Utah Fuel company, by approval of the state industrial commission, $1500 as a lump sum settlement for the death of her brother, Steve Daskas. The reduced amount of compensation is decreed on account of the fact that dependency of the sister was shown to be only partial.

Stella Daskas, otherwise Daskalakis and resident of Crete, sister of Steve Daskas, who died on August 7, 1918, as a result of injuries sustained while working for the Utah Fuel company, will receive a lump sum payment of fifteen hundred dollars, according to an arrangement approved by the state industrial commission this week. It was shown that her dependency on her brother was only partial. Daskas was injured September 8, 1917, in a mine accident and lingered for forty-eight weeks with his back broken at the tenth dorsal vertebra. He received compensation during the period, but difficulties in connection with complying with the Utah law at such a distance caused the delay in the final settlement of the case.

Research note: Age 24 died Aug. 7, 1918 due to fractured skull, jaw, left shoulder from an accident that occurred at the Spring Canyon, Storrs Mine on September 8, 1917.

Castle Gate, Utah - A mine shaft roof fell on three miners Thursday, killing two of them, as they cut through supporting columns to get the last available coal, officials said.

Carbon County Sheriff Albert Passic said the men were "pulling pillars" - the final columns of coal left after 85 percent of the coal had been removed - when the mine caved in on them.

Passic said he got the description of the accident from the surviving miner, Robert Nielsen, 38, who was listed in good condition at Carbon Valley Hospital

Passic said Nielsen told him he was standing near a man-made support column in the Braztah No. 3 mine.

Killed in the cave-in were John Davies, Jr., 24, of Carbonville and Charles Marchello, 49, of Spring Glen.

Sheriff's dispatcher Cliff Shotwell said none of the other 60 miners in the No. 3 mine were injured in the 6 a.m. cave-in.

Braztah Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the McCulloch Oil Corp. of Los Angeles, operates two mines in the area. It employees about 450 people in Utah.

Christian Davis, American timber man, aged 53 years, (wife and two grown up sons) was working on the second Left entry, off the first rise. No. 2 mine, Castle Gate, and was killed by a fall of rock on the 27th of August, 1912. Davis was employed cleaning up and timbering the new intake airway. He had taken down some rock and was breaking it with a hammer, when a piece of rock about 12 feet long, 3 feet wide and 13 inches thick fell, striking him on the back, breaking his back and both legs. From the best information obtainable, Davis had been warned that this rock was loose and had been advised by the foreman and general mine inspector to take it down, but he undoubtedly decided that it was safe for the time being, and by neglecting to take down the rock the accident occurred.

Transcription of text Cyril Davis who met with a sad accident which cost him his life was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Davis. He was born Oct. 25, 1893 in Rouse Colorado. His boyhood days were spent in Walsen. Less than two months ago Mr. Davis and Cyril left for Utah where they (unreadable) Blackhawk mine. On the evening of Nov. 17th, while going to work Cyril was injured on the train way track, death following instantly. The body was brought to Walsenburg Wednesday evening by the heartbroken father accompanied by Mr. Tom Lewis of Utah. The funeral was conducted Thursday afternoon from St. Peters Episcopal Church. The Maccabees of which the deceased was a member had charge of the funeral. The pall bearers were Tom Body Comb, Tom Harron, Roy Mitchell, Will Body Comb, Archie Allison and John Campbell.

Cyril Davis, American, machine helper, single, aged 20 years, was instantly killed on the tramway at Black Hawk Mine, November 13th, 1913.

Davis was seen to be walking up the track on the empty trip side, and although witnesses repeatedly called to him to warn him, he paid no attention to their warnings. The trip struck him and passed over him, causing instant death. No inquest.

David John Davis, Jr. had turned 15 in February. It was the first of May, and it was his first day to work in the mines. His father, deceased four years earlier, had been a miner, and now he would work with his stepfather, Ralph Burns in the mines. They worked together that one day and were both killed in the Great Scofield Mine disaster of May 1, 1900.

Elean J. Davis, widow of Ephraim Davis, dec'd and 2 minor children, vs Peerless Coal Company.

It was alleged that on April 6, 1928, Ephraim Davis was employed as a Rope Rider for the Peerless Coal Company and while reaching down to couple safety claims two cars came together, causing the coal to fall and bruise his head and that said bruises resulted in Meningitis, which caused his death on April 18th, 1928. Mr. Davis came to Salt Lake and was treated for Spinal Meningitis. A post mortem examination was done and the pathology found at the autopsy could have been caused by trauma or by infection. There was no evidence to support the alleged industrial injury of April 6th, 1928 and compensation was denied.

CASTLE GATE March 10 - Five close relatives of L. T. Davis, manager of the Wasatch store here, are entombed in the Utah Fuel company Mine No. 2. They are John Davis, his brother; Thomas Reese and Edward Cox, his uncles; David Evans, his cousin and Robert Crow, his brother-in-law.

Davis' father was killed in a cave-in in mine No. 1 twelve years ago. Many of his relatives on his father's side were also killed in mine disasters, it is said.

KENILWORTH - Oct. 9 - Willard E. Davis, 49, suffered fatal injuries yesterday when he was caught by falling coal in a mine near here. The body was found by members of the day crew shift when Davis failed to put in an appearance to leave the mine at the end of the shift.

On the 28th day of May, 1898, William C. Davis, a miner in Castle Gate mine, was fatally injured in First Dip in room 19. Davis and his brother were working the first room on the First Dip entry. The night before the accident the room had been left as usual with a cut across the full width of the face, but shots were put in only the right hand half of the face, which was blown down, and the left hand half left standing with one loose end. Davis thought he would make the mining on the left hand side a little deeper. He had gone about one foot further, making in all about five feet, when a large piece of coal fell from above him, weighing about 700 pounds, catching his head. He immediately died from the effects of the same.

Rebecca Dickerson asks the district court at Salt Lake City to award her fifteen thousand dollars damages for the death of her husband, Granville D. Dickerson, whom she claims met his death while working for the Utah Fuel company at Sunnyside, January 22, 1908. She says that he was engaged in hauling material and in order to do so he was supplied with a horse and cart. The complaint states that the horse provided was on January 22d, "unmanageable and intractable" and that the cart was overthrown, the deceased having been thrown out and injured so that he died a few days later.

There are eight children, three of whom are more than 21 years old. They are Edmond, aged 17; Josie, aged 14; Lizzie, aged 12; Udy Dickerson, aged 9 years; and Emma Tilbury, aged 21; Lilly Dickerson, Mary Petty and Jessie Hodges, each more than 21 years old. An affidavit of impecuniosity is filed with the complaint.

Mrs. Rebecca Dickerson formerly of Castle Dale but now a resident of Salt Lake county as the adminstratrix of the estate of Granville Dickerson who was killed at Sunnyside Utah Jan 22, 1908 has petitioned that her case be heard before the federal court. In her complaint she says that on Jan. 22, 1908 her husband was an employe of the Utah Fuel company at Sunnyside Utah and was engaged in driving an oil cart to and from the mines. She alleges that a wild vicious intractable and dangerous horse was given her husband to drive without his being informed of the dangerous character of the animal. On Jan 22 the horse became frightened and ran away overturning the cart driving by Dickerson and throwing him violently to the ground. He received injuries which resulted in his death. The case was first filed in the Third district court in Salt lake. The plaintiff asks for $15,000 damages.

The case of Rebecca Dickerson, widow of Granville Dickerson, against the Utah Fuel company was settled by stipulation, and the complaint was dismissed by United States Judge Marshall Monday at Salt Lake City. Dickerson was killed in February of 1908, at Sunnyside, where he was engaged in driving an oil cart. It was alleged that he was given a wild and vicious horse to drive without being informed of the habits of the animal, which later in the day ran away. Dickerson was thrown from the cart, sustaining injuries which caused his death. The widow, who has eight children to support, brought suit for $15,000, but the case was settled by stipulation for $500.

The essential facts are not in dispute. On March 7, 1986, Jerry Dimick an employee of a mine equipment service company arrived at Kaiser s Sunnyside No. 1 mine to examine a malfunctioning stage loader. Dimick was accompanied underground by Kaiser's General Longwall Foreman, Duane Wood. Dimick and Wood traveled to the intersection of the 19th Left Longwall Section and Crosscut No. 28, the area where the stage loader was located. Before Dimick started to inspect the stage loader, Wood visually examined the ribs at the worksite for signs of instability or hazardous conditions, but he did not perform any physical test of the ribs to verify their condition. Wood then proceeded beyond the stage loader and away from Dimick. In order to examine the stage loader, Dimick knelt between the rib and the equipment, with his back to the rib. While Dimick was looking at the stage loader from this position, two of Kaiser's section foremen, Gary Kuhns and Darrell Leonard, walked by Dimick.

Kuhns testified that because of the position of the stage loader, he had to walk between Dimick and the rib to get by Dimick, and that there was no more than two feet of space between Dimick and the rib. Tr. 91. Both Kuhns and Leonard visually examined but did not physically test the rib as they continued down the entry. While Dimick was kneeling between the rib and the stage loader, a portion of the rib -- approximately six by four by two feet in size -- detached and fell on him. Dimick died that evening from injuries received in the accident.

Three men were killed and four others narrowly escaped death at 10:10 o'clock Monday night when a missed shot in the Blue Blaze coal mine at Consumers exploded.

The dead: "Edwin R. 'Ted' Wycherly, 29, fire boss; Nick Devicak, 34, mucker, and Nick Moros, 40, driller.

Those who were working in the tunnel, but who escaped were Dave Parmley, foreman; J. Clinton Gibson, hoist man; E. E. Morgan, mucker. Gibson who was immediately back of Wycherly in the tunnel suffered painful bruises and lacerations about the left side of his body, arms and legs, but his condition was reported as being satisfactory at the emergency hospital in Consumers were he was taken immediately after the explosion.

Salazar also sugared cuts and lacerations, but was not seriously hurt. The seven men were working in the rock tunnel about two hundred sixty feet from the entrance and comprised the night shift which went on at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Several stories are told about the accident. The one generally credited is as follows:

The shot which exploded was left there by the previous shift Sunday night and the new shift was warned of its existence Moros knew of the missed shot and, following state regulations, placed a second shot a foot away and in the same direction, in order to shoot it out. Evidently the dynamite failed to blast out the missed shot, and when workers were drilling a plug in the bottom of a rig Monday, they hit into it.

Mine officials said that the possibility of such a thing happening was remote and failure of the blast to remove the old shot could be laid to carelessness on Moros' part in drilling from the outside of the rib instead of from the inside.

J.B. Taylor, state coal mine inspector, conducted an investigation of the tragedy and issued a report which is essentially the same as that of J. A. Roaf, superintendent of the Consumers mine.

"The Blue Blaze Coal Company was driving a rock tunnel for the purpose of prospecting No. 1 seam," said Taylor. "Nick Moros, the driller, and his partner, Nick Devicak were drilling a short hole in the bottom of the floor to brush for track when they accidently drilled into the misfired shot which exploded the powder that was in the hole, Killing Moros, Devicak and Wycherly"

Rumor persists, however, that the hole drilled into was the second of two missed holes and Moros drilling into it while Gibson and Wycherly were removing the fuse and the priming from the first hole of which they had been warned. Gibson, who was in back of the three men killed, was greasing the priming, preparatory to shooting the hole, and the bodies of the three men in front of him blanketed the explosion sufficiently to save his life. The blast caused all the lights in the tunnel to go out.

Wycherly was born in Winter Quarters. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. William McFarland, his widow, Mildred Ward Wycherly, two children, Nadean 4, and Shirley, 2; two brothers, Jack and Elmo, and one sister, Mrs. Leona Lamph. Interment will be in Cleveland.

Devicak was born in Yugoslavia. He came to Carbon County from Kemmerer, where his widow and 1 son reside.

Moros was born in Serbia of Slav parents. He is survived by his widow, two children and seven step-children who reside in Coal City. Bodies of Moros and Devicak are at the Flynn Funeral Home. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made.

Officers of the Blue Blaze Coal Company left Salt Lake City for Price early Tuesday morning following reports of the explosion. No report has been received from them yet. - Price Sun

My mother, daughter of Thomas Dixon, was a month short of 9 when her father died and 11 1/2 when her only brother Bill, died. Tom died in the Price hospital. He had lost his leg and a great deal of blood.

He said to his grandmother, "Let me go Lizzy."

"What will I do with all these children?"

"You'll get by."

He then slipped away.

He was right. My grandmother and the girls moved to American Fork and her survivors' pension and a big garden, enabled them to "get by" during the depression.

I don't think people understand the impact that mining had on the families; such a brutal way to earn a living.

Sunnyside - Tons of coal and rock caved in two miles underground in a Sunnyside coal mine Wednesday at 10:08 a.m., crushing to death three miners.

The accident occurred in an air course passageway of Kaiser Steel Coal Mine No. 1. The miners were buried under two feet of coal and rock.

The victims were Earnest Andrezzi, 48, Sunnyside, a mine mason; Ray R. Medina, 25, Price, a mason's helper, and Danny Dragon, 56, Sunnyside, a timber man.

A rescue crew went to work immediately to dig out the miners. Bodies of Mr. Andrezzi and Mr. Medina were recovered about 10:30 a.m. and the body of Mr. Dragon was found three hours later. No one else was injured.

Mine officials said the three men were working in the 18-foot wide passageway which runs parallel to the main slope and carries fresh air into the mine.

Coal from the ribs or sides of the tunnel began to slide, loosening a coal and rocks on the roof which caved in on the workers. The miners either were crushed to death or suffocated before the rescue crew could reach them, mine officials said.

All three bodies were found only a few feet apart in the passageway.

Workers in other parts of the shaft said the cave-in shook the whole mine, although it was described by mine officials as a relatively small cave-in compared with others of the past.

It was not immediately determined exactly what caused the cave-in. An investigation will be conducted by federal and state mine inspectors.

Officials said the mine would begin operating again after a traditional 24-hour layoff following a mine accident.

The accident recalls a similar cave-in April 18, 1956, in the nearby Kaiser Mine No. 2. Three men lay trapped and buried two days and were found alive by rescue workers in one of the most thrilling dramas of Utah mining history.

A fourth miner was killed in the cave-in. Wednesday's cave-in marked the sixth death this year in Sunnyside mining accidents.

CASTLE GATE - March 10, -- Bob Dodd and Ben Thomas, two of the victims of the mine disaster in Mine No. 2 of the Utah Fuel company last Saturday were killed less than an hour after they had entered the mine for the first time as regular employees. The men had been employees of the company in other properties in the district for a number of years, but on Saturday morning were assigned to the ill-fated mine as a result of a partial closing of the operations at the other mines of the region.

Louis Dakovich, an Austrian, 41 years old and married, leaves a wife and 3 children, who reside in Austria, was killed June 28, 1919, Hiawatha No. 2 Mine, while loading a car, by fall of coal caused by a bounce on the pillars.

CASTLEGATE - Pinned between a wooden mine shaft and the motor-powered conveyance he was driving, Wad Donohue, about 23, suffered a crushed chest and internal injuries which claimed his life at 9:20 p.m. Saturday. The fatal accident occurred in the Utah Fuel Co. mine here as Donohue was acting as motorman to bring workers from the mine about 3:45 p.m. The conveyance jumped the track while traveling down a slope, throwing the driver between the shaft and the motor. Donohue died 5 1/2 hours later in Price City Hospital. A war veteran, he had been employed by the company about two years. His widow survives.

William Bernard Dougall was born in Springville, July 23, 1872. He graduated at the Hungerford Academy in this city and at the Agricultural College at Logan. Mr. Dougall's profession was that of civil engineer which occupation he followed quite successfully, having attained great proficiency in his chosen profession. At the breaking out of the last war, he offered his services to his country by enlisting in Company K, Second Regiment Volunteer Engineers for the service in the Sandwich Islands, on the 9th day of June, 1898. He received the appointment of Sergeant and was afterwards commissioned Lieutenant. Upon his muster out, he resumed the duties of surveyor and was in the employ of the Pleasant Valley Coal Company as such when he met his untimely fate on the fatal 1st day of May, 1900.

George Douglas, American, aged 19 years, was injured in mine No. 2, Sunnyside, Utah, March 1st, 1910, at 4 o'clock p.m. While Douglas was coming down No. 1 room and near the entry, it seems apparent that his light went out and he either fell or tried to jump and was caught under the front end of the loaded car and car passed over him. When found, the car was still on the track with the mule still hitched to car, which had stopped a short distance from where accident occurred. Four spraggs were in the wheels that Douglas had put in. The place where the accident occurred was in good condition and there was plenty of room on either side of track for one to get off or let the car pass. Deceased died before reaching home.

William Keddie Douglas was a son of Thomas Greig Douglas, born 1831 Dysart, Fife, Scotland and Margaret Keddie born 1833 Markinch, Fife. He was one of 10 children. Five of his siblings died young, John, Alison, James & Catherine and one other. His father was a Flax Worker in Fife. Two of the older children, Isabella and Thomas, stayed in Scotland while three left for America with their parents for a new and hopefully better life. They were Elizabeth Fyfe Douglas born 1861, Coalsnaughton, Tillicoultry, Fife, Janet Keddie Douglas born 1863 (as above) and William Keddie Douglas born 1867 Beath, Fife. He also was a Flax Mill Worker in Kinglassie, Fife. William married Hannah Jane Small Robertson born 1874 in Jarrow Durham, England. They married in 1891 in Utah. They had children Thomas Greig born 1892 in Spanish Fork, George Robertson born 1893, Chase Turnball born 1895 and William Wallace Douglas born 1897. Only the last two boys survived to a ripe old age with descendants. Hannah went on to marry twice following the death of William.

Funeral services for Antonios Douros, 42, who was accidentally killed in a mine accident in Clear Creek Tuesday, will be conducted Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Greek Orthodox church in Salt Lake City. Mr. Douros was born at Pyri, Greece, and came to the United States in 1912. He had worked in the mines at Bingham and in Carbon county for the last 20 years. Surviving are his mother, Mrs. Mary Douros; two brothers, Athanasois and Lambros Douros, and a sister, Evangeline Douros, all residing in Greece. Friends may call at the Neil O'Donnell mortuary Sunday prior to services. Burial will take place in Mt. Olivet cemetery.

Chresto and Evangeline Drakakis, parents of Mike Drakis, dec., vs. Peerless Coal Co. On March 9th, 1929, Mike Drakis was killed by a fall of coal while working for the Peerless Coal Company. Written application for compensation was filed by the parents of deceased. Stipulation was entered into between the parties in interest, such stipulating having to do with the taking of the depositions of the parents who resided in Greece; the stipulation also provided that said depositions should be returned under seal to the Industrial Commission. The depositions, however, were returned to the attorneys for the applicant and opened without the knowledge of the Commission. At the Hearing of the case the admissibility of the depositions as evidence was challenged by the defendants. The Commission declined to admit said depositions as evidence but the other exhibits accompanying said depositions were admitted. The Commission found that there was insufficient pertinent evidence submitted to prove dependency of the parents. Compensation was denied and it was ordered that the employer, a self-insurer, pay $998.40 into the Employes' Combined Injury Benefit Fund.

Inability of Chresto John Drakakis and Evangeline Drakakis to prove that they were the parents of Mike Drakos, also known as Emmanuel Drakakis, resulted in the denial of compensation to the applicants and the state industrial commission Thursday ordered the Peerless Coal Company to pay $998.40 into the state fund. Emmanuel Drakakis was killed in the Peerless mine in 1927. Compensation had been denied once before but the case was reopened upon appeal. The state industrial commission, in denying the claim, held that the applicant failed to prove that they were the parents of the dead man and that they were dependent upon him. The findings of the commission declare that Emmanuel is not listed with the children born to the applicants nor does their testimony show which one of their six children Emmanuel was. Testimony shows that Emmanuel was born in 1892, yet the record of births furnished by the applicants fails to show any child born that year. The commission also says that the claim that Emmanuel had supported the applicants for three years prior to his death was not substantiated by the evidence.

Research notes: Possibly Mike Drakakis who died on 9 Mar 1929 is the same as Mike Drakos that died on the 9 Mar 1927. There is a death record for a John Drakakis that died on 8 July 1960. On the death certificate his name is written John Drakakis (Drakos). The name written this way shows that Drakakis is also abbreviated as Drakos. What is the possibility that a Mike Drakakis (Drakos) died on the 9 Mar 1929 and exactly 2 years earlier a Mike Drakos died on 9 Mar 1927.

Irene Drossos, widow of Gust Drossos deceased, et al., vs Utah Fuel Company

Gust Drossos was caught between the shafts of a horse and prop near track on December 7th, 1936, and severely injured. He died on December 10th, 1936. Left surviving him his widow and two minor children, dependent upon him for maintenance and support; also a son past 16 years of age. Compensation at the rate of $12.54 per week for 312 weeks awarded together with statutory burial expense.

November 18, 1896 -- At about 4:20 o'clock p.m. of this date, William Duerdon, assistant dumper at the Pleasant Valley Coal company's Castle Gate mine, was killed by becoming entangled, in some unknown way, in the belt which propels the crushing rolls of the mine. The machinery had been stopped at four o'clock for the purpose of oiling. It had been customary when the engine would stop on the "Center," which was the case on this occasion, to start the same by hand. This is usually done by using iron bars to turn the two pairs of lower crushing rolls. It appears this had been done and the engine thus moved off the 'center,' so that it would start when the power should be applied.

Three men, of whom deceased was one, had been using the bars to turn the rolls. The foreman of the chute, after calling out to the men to get out of the way, gave the engineer the signal to start, which was done. As the machinery started, the deceased, as has been stated, became entangled in the belt which drives the rolls at which he had been previously at work. The engine was quickly stopped, but death followed within one or one-half hours.

The Standardville mine disaster claimed a double toll from the duke family. Grover B. Duke, 40, the night foreman and his son Austin, 18, were both in the mine when the blast sent the deadly carbon monoxide fumes through the tunnels causing sorrow in a score of homes.

Mrs. Dora Duke, the mother and her daughter, Thelma bore the grief bravely. After first learning of the accident they went to the company mine office where they remained for several hours hoping against hope that their loved ones might be found alive. The family had only been residents of Standardville about three months, coming from Sego, Utah.

SUNNYSIDE - A Sunnyside miner was killed instantly Thursday at 1:35 p.m. when a slab of rock fell from the mine roof and crushed him while he was at work within the Sunnyside No. 2 mine of the Kaiser Steel Co. here.

There is no question raised as to whether the decedent, Edward a. Edwards, Jr., received the injury causing his death in the course of his employment, nor is there any question as to whether or not the employer, the United States Fuel Company, a corporation, is liable under Chapter 100, Laws of Utah, 1917. The decedent was employed by the United States Fuel Company, a corporation, at Hiawatha, Carbon County, Utah, on the 3rd day of October, 1917, as a rope-rider; the car on which he was riding jumped the track and the decedent was killed instantly by having his head crushed, several ribs broken, and his right arm broken in two places.

Was killed by loose top coal and rock caving on him, caused by his and his partner's neglect in not properly propping under said loose coal as directed by the mine foreman and fire boss, thus placing no blame on the Utah Fuel Company.

PRICE- Laren P. Elder, 39 year old Castle Dale coal miner, was killed instantly Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. when a huge slab of rock fell from the roof of a mine near Wattis and crushed him. He is the third Carbon county mine fatality in two months. A fellow workman, Neldon Wickman, 37, also of Castle Dale, escaped without injury but fragments from the slab pierced his miner's helmet.

At the time of the mishap Elder and Wickman were loading coal. They had been cutting and blasting pillars of coal left in the worked out section to help support the roof. Also unhurt was Lawrence Raycs, Price, shuttle car operator working immediately behind Elder and Wickman. The slab, which measured six by eight feet by one foot thick, was pried off Elder's body with crowbars. Site of the tragedy was approximately two miles in the mountain from the mine portal.

Storrs - The explosion of a boiler in the Spring Canyon Coal company's power house here Monday killed two men and seriously injured five.

A. B. Elliott, Storrs, master mechanic, scalded by escaping steam, died a few moments after the explosion. A. C. Strong, Storrs, fireman, hurled through the roof; died instantly; body mangled. W. C. Pennington, Kansas City, boilermaker; back injured, hip fractured, severely scalded; injuries may prove fatal. Guy Hackney, Kansas City, boilermaker; scalded about the face and body, leg broken. L. A. Gooding, Kansas City, boilermaker; ankle fractured, bruised by flying debris, scalded about face, arms and back. J. H. Ellen, Storrs, teamster; injured by flying debris, bruised by fall. Carl Limburg, Storrs, fireman, internally injured, back sprained.

The boiler was of the marine high-pressure type and it is said had been recently repaired. According to stories of bystanders, the master mechanic and boilermakers were at work caulking a patch on an adjoining boiler when the accident occurred. Live steam filled the boiler room in an instant and with a crash that was heard for miles, sections of the boiler tore through the roof of the fire rim, carrying rafters and skylights.

With a roar that could be heard for miles, a boiler in the power plant of the Spring Canyon Coal company at Storrs, this county, blew up Monday morning, completely wrecking the power plant, killing two outright and injuring five, one of whom will probably die. The explosion occurred at 8:00 o'clock, shortly after the day shift had gone to work. The killed and injured are:

A.B. Elliott, chief engineer, formerly of Salt Lake.
A.C. Strong, fireman
INJURED
Carl Limberg, electrician, head split open.
J.H. Elliot, farmer, leg torn open.
W. C. Pennington, boiler maker, Bristol Tenn.
L. A. Gooding, boiler maker, Kansas City.
Guy Hackney, boiler maker, Denver.

The explosion was due to a patch in the boiler giving way. The boiler had been giving trouble for about three weeks, the crown having burned out. Boiler makers had been sent from Kansas City to repair it. A patch was placed over the opening but it is supposed the steam pressure was too great for it and forced it out.

The explosion was terrific. Miniature geysers of steam and boiling water shot forth and enveloped the power room in a maze of scalding vapor. Like a shell from a howitzer the boiler was hurled through the roof of the building, landing on the hillside, 100 yards away. The power house was practically demolished, the sides of the rock building, 100 x 40, crumbing like dust. A second of the five boilers, on which the mine depends for its power, was likewise demolished and the others put out of commission.

Elliot and Strong met instant death. Elliot was scalded from head to foot and buried under heaps of debris, from which he was extricated half an hour after the explosion by mine workers and residents of the town.

Strong was literally blown to pieces.

The three boiler makers were at a distant corner of the power house when the explosion occurred. All were enveloped in the clouds of hissing steam and were more or less badly scalded in addition to being struck by flying debris.

The body of Elliot was shipped to Butte, Mont. And that of Strong to Springville, Pace & Tingley of this city preparing the bodies for burial.

Cause of accident not known - boiler had recently been inspected and overhauled by the men who met death.

Two men were killed and three more injured Monday morning at 7:45 o'clock when one of the boilers of the Spring Canyon Coal company exploded. The dead are A.B. Elliott, age 49 and Fireman Asa Strong, 33, the injured are W. C. Pennington, face burned; L. A. Gooding, burned and bruised, Guy Hackney, right leg broken and face and arms severely burned. None of the injured will die. The cause of the explosion is not known. The boiler house is located one half mile from the mine. It furnishes power and light and the mine is closed down for three days while repairs were being made. The roof of the boiler house was blown off, the engine room, separated from the boiler room by a rock wall was left intact.

The boiler which blew up was one of a set of five of the marine type, Springfield boilers, which are considered among the safest boilers made.

George A. Storrs said after the accident that no estimate could be made of the loss entailed by the explosion and the consequent in-action of the mine. He said there is no explanation of the accident. The men at the boiler house were on duty, everything seemed to be working under normal conditions and there was nothing to give "warning of the explosion. It is one of those things that happen of which nobody seems to be able to give an account." Said Storrs.

The explosion was terrific. The iron boiler was blown into sections, and the huge pieces of boiler were hurled through the roof and high into the air. The bodies of the dead men were found among the debris badly bruised, burned and scaled. Those who escaped said the building rocked with the concussion of the wreck of the house was complete.

They attribute their escape and good fortune as all five of the men that were in the boiler house were at the machinery when the explosion occurred.

Citizens from Storrs were soon on the scene and assisted in taking the bodies of the dead to their homes, leaving a sorrowing wife and family to be told at each home of the death of the husband and father.

A.B. Elliott came here from Montana. He is survived by a wife and one child. Mr. Strong formerly lived in Springville. He is survived by a wife and four children.

Asa Strong has a brother returning from Europe. He arrived Saturday in Quebec. Word has been sent to Chicago to intercept him and tell him to come direct to Storrs instead of his home in Springville. Word has been sent to other members of the dead men's families in the places where they formerly lived.

The local office of the Spring Canyon coal company it was declared that the boiler had just been overhauled and that the three men injured were boilermakers who had just hoiseted up and the boiler was being fired up. The men had already started on another boiler when the explosion occurred. At present it is impossible to tell the cause of the accident.

All injured men were all taken to hospital at Storrs. The body of Mr. Strong was taken to Springville where the deceased was interred. The explosion broke the water lines and the steam lines so that it was necessary to close down the property for three days. Work was resumed today.

A. B. Elliott, American, age 49, married (wife and one child), employed as master mechanic at Storrs, Utah, was instantly killed in the power house on the 28th day of September, 1914. Mr. Elliott, as was his custom each morning, had gone into the boiler room of the power house on a round of general inspection, when No. 3 boiler exploded.

Price-Four miners were entombed deep inside the Spring Canyon Coal Co. mine 13 miles northwest of here early today when a "bounce" caused a severe cave-in. A company official said it was not known if the men were buried by the fall of coal and rock or if they were trapped-possibly safely-behind it. "We're hopeful they are behind it and safe," he said. The cave-in site is about 5,000 feet from the main mine entrance. It is 2,000 feet down the hillside mine's fourth left lateral where the mine itself dips downward.

Families of the men waited outside the mine entrance for any word on whether the four men were alive. The four have a total of 11 children. It was believed the cave-in, which accompanied the "bounce" or sudden pressure change inside the mine, occurred between 1 and 1:30 a.m. The ground shock from the bounce was so severe it loosened the entire top face of coal in the cave-in area and workers were forced to timber their rescue shaft as they tunneled toward the trapped men. The spokesman said the latest report was that rescue workers had tunneled 800 feet through the giant pile of debris in an effort to reach the miners.

The four trapped men were identified as William Daniels, 47, the mine face boss; his son-in-law, Dean Nielsen, 29, the shuttle car operator; Cecil Garcia, 36, a rope rider, and Keith Anderson, 30, a motorman. Garcia is from Helper. The other three are from Spring Canyon.

Price-The body of one of four trapped coal miners was recovered this afternoon. He was Cecilio Garcia, 36, father of four children. There was no word of the other men.

SPRING CANYON-Blackfaced, dirty workers recovered today the body of a third man trapped deep in a coal mine by an earth tremor that caused a cave-in. A fourth man was still caught somewhere under tons of rock and rescuers held no hope he would be found alive. He is Dean Nielsen, 27. The body of Keith Anderson, 30, was uncovered this morning. Both he and Nielsen were from Spring Canyon, a tiny company mining town of dreary brown sandstone about 120 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.

Late last night workmen, erecting timbers as they proceeded, against the possibility of further cave-ins, uncovered the body of William Daniels, 47, also of Spring Canyon. Earlier they found the body of Cecilio Garcia, 36, the father of seven children from nearby Helper. He was not caught beneath the torrent of falling coal set loose when a "bounce"-a shift in the mountain above the mine-sent the rocks crashing down.

Garcia apparently was hit on the head by a flying rock. A doctor said he never knew what hit him.

Rescuers at first hoped for another miracle such as occurred at nearby Sunnyside two years ago when three men survived after being buried in a similar cave-in for 72 hours. There was no such miracle here. The faces of the workers showed they knew it as they marched wearily away from the mine portal after a shift of rescue work. Two officials expressed what the miners hadn't the heart to say.

The mine manager, C. E. Pauley, said he didn't see how the men could be found alive. And Clair Nowren, a safety engineer, said it was inconceivable. The four men were working overtime to remove equipment from one of the shafts that honeycomb a mountain. If they had left at the end of their regular shift, the mine would have been empty.

All Utah joins the bereaved families and friends of the four victims of the Spring Canyon coal mine disaster in mourning his tragedy.

While investigation has not been completed, this appears to be the kind of coal mine accident that is practically unavoidable. A "bounce" or earth slip above the tunnel in which the men were working caused a sudden cave-in, filling the tunnel with coal dust. An electric wire short or other spark caused by the cave-in set off an explosion.

The mine had been inspected only about six weeks ago, but a state safety inspector was quoted as saying: "No inspection could foretell this."

Underground mining by the very nature of things is a hazardous occupation. Despite, all the safety precautions in the world, some accidents will happen. Utah actually has had quite a safe record, for this is the worst coal mine disaster in years.

This does not lessen the blow to those bereaved. It is bleak tragedy to four wives suddenly made widows, to 17 children of the four men, and to two children yet unborn. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to them.

PRICE-The body of the third of four Carbon County miners trapped early Friday in a mine cave-in was brought to the surface at 10:20 a.m. Saturday. The badly crushed and burned body of Keith Arthur Anderson, 30, was found under tons of rock and coal about 5,000 feet from the shaft entrance in an unused section of the Spring Canyon Coal Co. mine. Previously recovered were the bodies of Cecilio Garcia, 35, of Helper, brought up at noon Friday, and face boss William Daniels, 47, recovered late Friday evening.

Still missing and presumed dead is Russell Dean Nielsen, 29, son-in-law of Mr. Daniels. From the position of the bodies already recovered, officials believed Mr. Nielsen is buried under eight feet of rock some 80 feet further down the choked shaft. Rescue work was hampered all day Friday by an explosion and fire following the cave in, which was caused by a "bounce" or shift in the mountain above the mine. All fallen rock must be recovered and removed from the shaft by hand, further slowing efforts to reach Mr. Nielsen.

Keith Arthur Anderson was born at Emery, Emery County, September 6, 1927, the son of Clinton C. and Florence Abelin Anderson. He married Edna Sheets. He had been a resident of Spring Canyon for the past nine years.

Surviving are his parents, Carbonville; widow, three daughters, Susanne, Connie and Dawn, Spring Canyon; two brothers and one sister, Preston C. U. S. Navy, Fallon, Nev.; Maurice, Carbonville; Mrs. Rine Erickson, Spring Canyon. Funeral will be Tuesday at 1 p.m. in Price Tabernacle, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with burial in Emery Cemetery.

William Daniels was born March 23, 1910, Lafayette, Colo., the son of Charles and Jeannie Daniels. He was married to Elsieanna Mitchell at Grand Junction, Colo. In 1933. He had been a resident of Spring Canyon since 1952.

Surviving are his parents, Oak Creek, Colo.; his widow, three sons and two daughters, Gilbert, Steamboat Springs, Colo; Stanley, U. S. Navy, San Diego, Calif.; Charles Albert, Emily Jane, and Mrs. Dean Nielsen, Spring Canyon; and a brother, Albert, Carlsbad, N.M.

Cecilio Garcia, was born March 29, 1921 in Canyoncito, N. M. son of Fredencio and Garguerita Gurule Garcia. He was married to Solema Garcia in Helper, June 3, 1945.

He is survived by his wife and the following children: Virginia, Linda Sue, Lucy Margie, Mary Jean, Lawrence Cecil and Eddie F. all of Helper; four brothers, Dommitlio, Lee, Ferman and Joe; two sisters, Sophia Chevez and Livie Lucero. The Rosary will be said Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in Mitchell Funeral Home. Requiem Mass will be said Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. in Helper St. Anthony Church.

PRICE-Rescue workers Saturday uncovered the mangled body of a third miner, one of four trapped Friday thousands of feet inside a mountain coal mine. Digging continued for the fourth miner under a 2,000 foot long caved in tunnel of the Spring Canyon Coal Co. mine 13 miles northwest of Price. The cave-in was followed by an explosion and fire. Two bodies were uncovered Friday. The victim found this morning was Keith Anderson, 30, Spring Canyon.

The find further weakened hopes that the fourth miner, Dean Nielsen, 29, Spring Canyon, would be found alive. Workers said they had found no trace of him by mid-morning Friday the body of Cecelio Garcia, 36, was found. Late Friday night rescue workers found the body of William Daniels, 47. Daniels and Garcia, along with Anderson and Nielsen, Daniel's son-in-law, were working overtime removing old tracks and equipment when the tunnel collapsed with an earthquake-like bounce which dumped tons of coal, rock and debris on the men.

Teams of rescue workers reached Garcia's body shortly after noon Friday, 11 hours after the cave-in occurred. He was found in a clear area at the far end of the caved in section. Officials said his skull had been crushed by falling debris. The other three miners were trapped beneath the fall itself. From the start, rescue crews knew there was little chance any of the three could be found alive.

However, the rescuers remember another mine cave-in near here April 18, 1956 at the Sunnyside mine of Kaiser Steel Co. In that cave-in, three of four trapped miners were found "miraculously" alive after nearly 40 hours entombment. Rescue crews from the Sunnyside mine joined Spring Canyon workers in the rescue effort. Diggers encountered fires inside the mine Friday but extinguished them.

PRICE, Oct. 20-Whether funeral services will be held in Price for Fermin Garcia, 43, who died early Thursday morning as a result of injuries received in a mine accident at the Kenilworth mine Wednesday had not been determined Thursday night.

Relatives of the dead man came to Price from Grand Junction, Colo., Thursday and said they would decide Friday whether to hold a funeral here. Mr. Garcia was born March 16, 1905, at Santa Fe, N.M.; a son of Domingo and Julia Vegil Garcia.

He had been a resident of Carbon county seven years working in the mines here and had worked at Kenilworth several different times. Mr. Garcia is survived by his widow Filomena Garcia, Grand Junction. Two daughters: Mrs. Julia Gonzales and Miss Mabel Garcia, Grand Junction and one son, Joe V. Garcia, Grand Junction.

Funeral services for Tony Garcick, who was fatally injured in a mine accident at Kenilworth a week ago were held at the Notre Dame church in Price Saturday morning at ten o'clock under the direction of the Deseret Mortuary. Interment was in the Price City Cemetery.

He was fatally injured July 28, 1919, and died July 31, 1919, Clear Creek Mine, from injuries received by being caught between the car and shafts. He missed getting his sprags in and tried to pull the pin to liberate the horse from the car, when the horse turned suddenly and caught him between the shafts and car.

HELPER June 12-Earl Garlick, 35, was killed by a fall of roof in the United States Fuel company's mine at Hiawatha Tuesday afternoon. Word of the fatal accident was received here by Orville Garlick, brother of the dead miner. He is survived by his widow and five children.

Sunnyside, Utah, Jan 10-Peter Garafola, an Italian Laborer, while repairing track at coke ovens today, was accidentally run over by the larry car and killed. He is survived by a wife and one child.

January 12, 1907. On this date Peter Garafola, Italian, track layer, aged thirty-two years, was injured at Sunnyside coke ovens. Garafola was standing on No. 1 track at a point between Oven No. 270 and 271 talking to H. W. Jeston of Wellington, Utah; both men were facing north. Empty car No. 4 was returning to the bin after discharging its load farther south. From the amount of smoke and steam generating from the ovens at this time of day, it was impossible for the motor-man to see any distance ahead of the car. When he discovered the men on the track, he called for them to look out, but the distance was too short to avoid the accident which seriously injured Garafola. H. W. Jeston escaped injury. Garafola died at the hospital the same day. Wife and one child is Maria, Province of Casenia, Italy. No Inquest.

Hearings for fourteen cases will be conducted by the Industrial Commission of Utah in Price this week. The session began Wednesday morning. Following are the cases to be considered: ... Jesse Garroch vs Utah Fuel Company

CASTLE GATE-Theodore Gentry, 52, Castle Gate, was fatally injured Tuesday about 11 a.m. in a mine of the Independent Coal and Coke Co., here. Details of the mishap could not be learned pending further investigation. Mr. Gentry died en route to a Salt lake hospital. The accident occurred in the mine. Mr. Gentry suffered undetermined body injuries.

Price-Four coal miners who were removing timber supports in a mine south of here were killed in an accident one miner called "one of those things that goes with the job ... you never know if you're going to walk out or be carried out."

The men died when a huge slab of rock fell on them Friday at the Starpoint No. 1 coal mine 20 miles south of Price. The victims were part of a 10-man crew removing timbers from a section that had already been mined, said Floyd Tucker, general superintendent for Plateau Mining Co.

He identified the men as Kerry Grange, of Huntington; Mike Guzman, of Price; Bill Gentry, of Price; and Kim Nightingale, of Carbondale, Colo. Allan Austin of Price was injured and was in serious but stable condition Friday night at a Price hospital. Tucker said controlled cave-ins occur as pillars are removed, but the 15-foot by 15-foot slab of rock that fell on the five men was in a section where a cave-in was not expected. It's just like a loose piece of plaster on your roof," said Tucker. "It sits there all year, you walk under it and nothing happens. Then the snow comes, and the house settles, and it falls off the ceiling."

He said the chamber where the accident occurred will be sealed off until federal mine safety inspectors from Washington and Denver arrive Tuesday to investigate. A friend of Austin's, who asked not to be named, said he and other miners were nervous about returning to work. "It makes me not want to go down there," he said. "It's one of those things that goes with the job," he said. "Every time you go into the portal, you never know if you're going to walk out or be carried out. Every day you just live with it. There's always that anxious feeling at quitting time that I made it another day without getting hurt."

June 29th, 1907. George Georgropoulos, a Greek, single, aged twenty-four years. Georgropoulos was employed as a mine laborer, he was killed on main haulage road at No. 1 hoist, Castle Gate mine. Deceased was walking on main haulage road, with dinner pail in one hand and a shovel in the other; as he passed the No. 1 hoist a loaded trip of cars struck him, and dragged him a distance of sixty feet, he was found doubled up between the side of the entry and fourth car. George had been cleaning track about 140 feet above the hoist. The entry at this point is well lighted with electric lamps, and had he taken ordinary precaution could have seen the trip coming.

Frank Germann, a German, 41 years old and single, was killed August 20, 1920, Peerless Mine, by a fall of slate. Frank Germann and his partner, John Selan, had finished cutting cross-cut from west main to back entry and had pulled out mining machine to move to another part of the mine. They were ready to load the machine on the truck when John Selan stepped back to relight his lamp with carbide and while doing so he heard the roof crack and shouted to Frank to look out. Frank then stepped from the cross-cut in toward entry face when suddenly a piece of slate, 3 feet long, 2 feet 5 inches wide and 4 feet thick, which tapered to 1/2 inch around the edge, fell striking Frank on the head and killing him instantly. The slate dropped in between two crossbars of timber that were set 5 1/2 feet apart and 12 feet wide, 6 feet high and timbered within 25 feet of the face of the entry.

Gus Gibbons, a miner employed at Kenilworth, was fatally injured Wednesday morning when overhead coal in the room he was working fell upon him. His two sons, nearby at the time of the accident, rushed Gibbons to the company hospital where he died after about four hours.

Gibbons is survived by two grown sons, a wife and a 12 year old daughter. He was 47 years of age and had been at Kenilworth for the past eight months. The accident was the first fatal one at the camp in more than a year.

Jan. 24, 1902-On this date Richard R. Gibbs, age 24, a driver, was killed in Sunnyside Mine No. 2. At the time of the accident Gibbs was driving an empty car along the main back level, when he slipped off and fell beneath the car. The car passed over him, breaking his neck and causing an abrasion on the face, chest and knee, causing instant death.

Sunnyside, Utah-Jan. 24-Richard R. Gibbs was instantly killed in No. 2 mine of the Utah Fuel company here today. The unfortunate man inadvertently stepped in front of a loaded car of coal and before anything could be done the life was crushed out of him.

Sunnyside-Jan. 24-A sad accident happened here today, by which Richard R. Gibbs, son of Reece W. Gibbs, lost his life. He was driving a horse in the No. 2 mine, when he met his death. There was only a small boy with him when it happened. The unfortunate young man was standing on the car bumpers when he lost his balance and fell in front of the empty car. He called for the horse to stop, which it did, but he was under the car dead. His neck was broken. He was a good boy to his parents, and a faithful Latter-day Saint. His grief stricken parents have the sympathy of all who know them. An inquest was held today. The verdict was accidental death. Coroner, A.E. Gibson; jurors, Wm. Hill, Thomas Phelps and Chas. Carari. The body will be shipped to Almy, Wyo., his former home.

Castle Rock, Utah-March 10, Andrew Gilbert, 73 years old, hero of the Winters Quarters disaster of May 1, 1900, when 200 men lost their lives in the worst mining catastrophe in the history of Utah, was killed Saturday in the explosion that killed 175 men in mine No. 2 of the Utah Fuel company as a result of his devotion to the mining industry. To his companions of Castle Gate he was plain Andy, despite his advanced age but to the Utah Fuel company he was known as one of the best coal miners that ever picked up a shovel in a coal mine.

To Victor Gilbert, he was just plain "dad" and for that reason it was with considerable difficulty that officials in charge of the rescue work were able to force Victor to take his two hours rest following his two-hour shift in the debris cluttered entries of mine No. 2. Victor is one of the leaders in the safety work at the Castle Gate Mine No. 2 and it was in search of "dad" that he made trip after trip, into the gaseous passages of the mine yesterday.

"Dad" earned his reward from toil at least five years ago, declared Victor yesterday, "and for that length of time, at least, I have urged and pleaded with him to give it up, but he refused to quit. Now it's too late." Andy, however, was not engaged in the actual mining of coal at the time he met his death, but was employed by the company as an inspector. His duty consisted of inspecting the coal in the mining rooms for the presence of rock and other foreign substances that might crop out in the seam.

A Price man was killed Tuesday night in an underground coal mining accident near Hiawatha, authorities say. Randy Gines, 29, was operating a roof-bolting machine when the accident occurred about 9:30 p.m. in King No. 4 Mine operated by United States Fuel Company near Hiawatha, about 12 miles south of Price, a company spokeswoman said. "Mining operations have been suspended out of respect for the fatally injured employee and to allow time for a full investigation of the accident," said Kay Copfer, U. S. Fuel personnel administrator.

No other employees were involved and there is no danger related to the Tuesday accident to any other employees who will be working in the mine in the future, Copfer said. Further details of the accident were not immediately available. The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration is investigating the accident.

Tony Girodo was employed as a shot firer February 2nd, 1935; he was firing a shot when a piece of flying rock struck him. He sustained severe injuries from which he died April 16th, 1935. Statutory burial expense was paid by the State Insurance Fund. The Commission found that decedent had been contributing toward the maintenance and support of his father and mother residing in Italy, and they were partial dependents. Decedent's mother died. A compromise settlement entered into between the defendants and the attorney representing applicant provided for payment of $10.00 per month for 50 months, beginning April 16, 1935. An award was entered accordingly.

Research note: Age 49 died April 16, 1935 due to hemorrhage caused by being crushed by rocks at the Peerless mine.

It is always enjoyable to do history research. Sometimes I feel like a detective uncovering clue's to a person's past. It is very rewarding. We were contacted by a family in Britain doing research on their family which was two miners that were killed in the March 8, 1924 explosion in Castle Gate. A father and son, they were working only feet apart in the mine when they were killed.

The father, Basil Gittins was born in England in 1877 and was married to an English woman named Annie. Basil was working in the coal fields in Wales when notice was received that American coal companies were hiring and that they would take all the men they could, provided the men were at the docks, ready to set sail by 3 pm that day. Basil packed up his lunch pail and made his way to the docks, not letting Annie know of his plans. Much to Basil's surprise, Annie was waiting for him on board the ship. As a getaway plan, it didn't go too well, eh?

Basil and Annie must have worked out their differences on the journey across the ocean as they settled together in Wales, Utah. After several years of working in Wales as a coal miner, Basil, Annie and their young son Brindley moved to Castle Gate where Basil obtained work in the Castle Gate No. 2 mine. When Brindley was old enough, he went to work with his father in the mine. Young Brindley married a girl by the name of Elsie and they had a young child.

On March 8, 1924, the Gittins men were working side by side when a gas and coal dust explosion ripped through the mine. The force of the blast was so strong that a heavy mine car was launched across the canyon and embedded in the cliff side. 170 miners and 1 rescue worker lost their lives that morning. After the explosion, the inside of the mine was covered in thick, black soot that obscured everything, men and machinery alike. The accident report lists Brindley as the 94th man recovered from the mine, however Basil was nowhere to be found.

Nearly a week after the explosion, the mine was getting ready to reopen when some of the rescue workers saw that one of the water pumps in the mine was not working and water was rising throughout a section of the mine. They donned high water boots and went in search of the malfunctioning pump. When they found the pump, they pulled an obstruction away from the intake, it was Basil's head, severed from his body by the blast. Basil Gittins was listed as miner 171, the last body removed from the Castle Gate No. 2 mine explosion.

Basil left behind his wife Annie, Brindley left behind his wife Elsie and one child. Both men are buried at the Castle Gate Cemetery, directly above the coal mine that took their lives.

Funeral services for John Douglas Glasson, 37, Price, who was crushed to death Tuesday on a construction job near Wellington, will be conducted tomorrow (Friday) at 2 p.m. in the chapel of the Mitchell Funeral Home.

Mr. Glasson was killed when a high-lift (tractor with blade) tipped over on top of him at the coal washing plant being built for the United States Steel Corporation.

Officials of the Allen and Garcia Construction Company, contractors on the plant, said Mr. Glasson apparently came too close to an open ditch with the tractor lift he was operating and the huge piece of machinery tipped over into the trench. He was pinned beneath the tractor and was dead on arrival at the City-County hospital in Price.

He was born January 16, 1920, in Seattle, Washington, the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Glasson. He married Darlene Carlson in Salt Lake City July 1, 1952. He was a veteran of World War II. He is survivied by his wife and a son, Michael, Price, and his father, Seattle.

PRICE-A coal-mine cave-in today killed two miners in southeastern Utah's Carbon County. The cave-in occurred about 9 a.m. in the Royal Coal Co. mine about 20 miles north of here, but the bodies of the two victims were not extricated until shortly after noon.

It was not known whether any other miners had been injured. The dead were identified as Sefrino Gonzales of Standardville, and Frank Utardo, Helper.

HELPER-State and federal mine inspectors today probed causes behind a Carbon County coal mine cave-in that fatally crushed two miners yesterday. The mishap occurred in the Royal Coal Co. mine seven miles north of here. Some 70 other miners were working in various parts of the tunnel when the cave-in buried the two men but no one else was injured.

Rescue teams dug through tons of rock and coal for more than three hours to uncover the bodies of Frank Urtado, 34, Helper, and Sefrino Gonzales, 55, Standardville. They had been operating a joy-loading machine when the cave-in trapped them. Urtado had five children and Gonzales had 11.

Three are dead and at least half a dozen others are injured in Carbon county as the result of the most devastating series of snow slides to hit this section in years. The dead are: Gus Goodart, 65, mine foreman, of Latuda; Moroni Mower, 30, stable boss, of Latuda; Dan Grundvig, 40 miner, of Wattis.

More than half the mining camps up Spring Canyon have been visited by slides yesterday and today, according to reports received here. Wattis and Columbia were both closed down yesterday because of the treacherous condition of the deep snow blanket. A thousand feet of track at the head of Spring canyon is covered with snow and slides have been expected on the Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad in Price canyon

As the result of the heaviest snow storm here in recent years, traffic was temporarily paralyzed in almost all directions, and watersheds of the district are holding more moisture than they have for years. Estimates of the snowfall at the Scofield reservoir place the depth there at considerably over six feet on the level, and all Pleasant Valley is covered by a blanket several feet deep. The storm was general throughout eastern Utah and most parts of the state.

Entire Town Hit-Two were killed and four others were injured Wednesday in a rapid succession of snow slides which started at the upper end of Latuda and covered the entire town before subsiding.

Gus Goodart, 65, mine foreman, was instantly killed at 8:00 o'clock Wednesday morning when the first slide caught him in the check cabin near the entrance of the Liberty Fuel company mine at Latuda.

Moroni Mower, 30, stable boss, was strangled to death at 11:15 o'clock when he was caught under a frame (?), which was collapsed in the most (?) avalanche of the day in about the middle of the town.

J. S. Anderson, 38, suffered two broken legs and serious burns about the body; Mrs. Anderson was burned quite severely; Clarence Reid, 30, sustained deep lacerations of the head and a severe chill, and James Wood, 55, at (?) injured, was so badly shaken that he later in the day had a (?) from the shock.

These four, together with Mower, were buried in and behind the Anderson home by a slide which came off the mountainside, almost completely wrecking three homes and gutting four or five others. After it was over, there was eight feet or more on the (?) canyon road and houses on the higher side were piled to the eaves with snow and debris.

Miners Take Warning-Foreman Goodart, one of the old timers in the mining game in Carbon county, had just completed a trip of inspection into the Liberty Fuel company's Latuda mine and had entered the check cabin on the outside to build a fire when the first slide came, crashing the cabin in and killing him almost instantly. There was no evidence of wet, heavy snow which has been piling up on the sides of the slope and (?) in a steady storm the last three days.

All funeral arrangements for four men, killed in local snow slides, have been completed. Services for Gus Goodart, 65, mine foreman of Latuda, will be held from the Community church in Price at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Helper Consolidated Odd Fellow lodge. Burial will be in City cemetery. Goodart, one of the old time miners of the county, had worked with the Liberty Fuel company as mine foreman at Latuda for ten years. Surviving are his widow and five children.

The body of Moroni Mower, 32, stable boss of Latuda, will be sent on train No. 1, Friday morning to Fairview, where funeral services and burial will be held upon arrival. The rites will probably be Saturday. Mrs. Mower had just returned to her home two days ago after an operation at the Price hospital and her condition since the disaster has not been too good. Mrs. Mower and three children survive. Relatives from the Uintah basin were unable to get here because of the slides on Indian Summit. The bodies of both these men are at the Flynn funeral home.

Daniel R. Grundvig, 27, miner for the Lion Coal company at Wattis who was killed in the slide there yesterday, will be buried Sunday afternoon at Wellington. Services will be held at the ward chapel there at (?) o'clock in charge of Bishop Eugene Branch. The body will be at the Wallace & Harmon mortuary until then.

The accident occurred when a car jumped the track and pinned him between two cars in the mine, according to mine officials.

He was born at Huntington, November 11, 1924, a son of Joseph H. and Hannah A. Gordon. He was a student at the Huntington high school, but had been employed in the mine about a year. His father and mother died several years ago and he lived at the home of a brother, Cleo Gordon, in Hiawatha while employed in the mine.

We lived on the north side of Mapleton on a small farm. We had a large family. My mother had 14 children in all. Her first husband was killed in the Schofield mine disaster. He was Leon Gourdin and they were the parents of six children, three girls and three boys. The boys all died in infancy, but the girls were part of the family; Ann, Flora, and Rosalie. The boys were Julian, Leon, and Richard Leland. Leon Gourdin was just a young man, only 29 when he was killed in the mine.

PRICE, Dec. 7-when the motor car which he was riding jumped a track in a Spring Canyon Mine, John Grahek, 28, of Peerless, was killed Friday. Grahek suffered a fracture of the neck when he was buried beneath coal, released as the supporting timbers, struck by the motor carl fell. Grahek had been employed at the mine for only three days. His widow survives.

The Spring Canyon Coal Company Tuesday obtained a writ of review directed to the Industrial Commission of Utah and returnable in the supreme court June 16, in the case of Mrs. Ane Grahek. Mrs. Grahek is the widow of John Grahek, killed in a mine accident December 6 last. They were married in Yugoslavia in 1925 and a year later John moved to Pueblo, Colo. There, according to the finding of the commission, he met Agnes Starke, wife of Tony Starke, and sometime later the two came to Utah. Later Ane Grahek went to Pueblo, where she received some support from John Grahek's father, but the coal company contends that the evidence shows she received no money from John Grahek for a number of years, and that he had abandoned her, and therefore that she is not entitled to compensation as a widow under the Utah Industrial Act.

Kenilworth, Carbon County-Two miners suffocated Friday afternoon in a mine accident which occurred in the shaft of the Independent Coal & Coke Co., at Kenilworth. Dead are Edward Vance Grange, 28, Kenilworth, a section boss, and Chris Bozun, 58, Carbonville, a machine man. According to mine officials, the two men died when a bounce of coal occurred in a solid block of coal and cut the workers off. Artificial respiration was administered by members of a rescue crew for 90 minutes, but they were unable to revive them. Mine workers said the "bounce" occurred from too much pressure. The accident happened about 3:45 p.m.

Mr. Grange was born Nov. 9, 1917, in Orangeville, Emery county, and had been employed at Kenilworth since 1932. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Leah Grange, and two children. His body was taken to the Wallace mortuary, Price.

Mr. Bozun was born Dec. 31, 1887 in Austria and had been a coal miner the major part of his life. He worked for several years at Kenilworth. Survivors include his widow, Mrs. Stan Bozun, six sons and daughters, who live in California and Colorado. Funeral arrangements will be announced by Mitchell funeral home, Price.

Edward Vance Grange was killed in the Kenilworth mine Friday, January 25, by a "bounce" that caused from eight to nine feet of top coal and rock to fall in the place where he was working. Vance was a pusher or foreman of a crew operating a mechanical loader. The crew had just gone on shift in the afternoon and Vance had just sent two men for more timber for protection and was making further inspection when the bounce occurred. One other man, from Price, was with him and was also killed.

Rescue workers rushed to the spot and worked as rapidly as possible to recover the bodies. The first body was uncovered in about ninety minutes and Mr. Grange's body in thirty minutes more. Mine rescue and first aid workers administered artificial respiration, but apparently both men had been killed instantly.

Funeral services were conducted Wednesday in the Orangeville Ward Chapel. Mr. Grange was born in Orangeville, November 9, 1917, a son of Clarence E. and Maggie Sitterud Grange. He married Leah Jane Waymon of Castle Dale May 27, 1940. He had worked at the coal mine at Kenilworth the past four years as a section boss.

Surviving are his widow and three children, Connie Jane, Geraline, and Edward Vance, Jr.; his parents; two sisters, Mrs. Avonna Blackburn, Sunnyside, and Miss Beulah Grange of Salt Lake; and three grandparents, Mrs. Ellen Grange and Mr. and Mrs. George Sitterud.

Price-Four coal miners who were removing timber supports in a mine south of here were killed in an accident one miner called "one of those things that goes with the job ... you never know if you're going to walk out or be carried out."

The men died when a huge slab of rock fell on them Friday at the Starpoint No. 1 coal mine 20 miles south of Price. The victims were part of a 10-man crew removing timbers from a section that had already been mined, said Floyd Tucker, general superintendent for Plateau Mining Co.

He identified the men as Kerry Grange, of Huntington; Mike Guzman, of Price; Bill Gentry, of Price; and Kim Nightingale, of Carbondale, Colo. Allan Austin of Price was injured and was in serious but stable condition Friday night at a Price hospital.

Tucker said controlled cave-ins occur as pillars are removed, but the 15-foot by 15-foot slab of rock that fell on the five men was in a section where a cave-in was not expected. It's just like a loose piece of plaster on your roof," said Tucker. "It sits there all year, you walk under it and nothing happens. Then the snow comes, and the house settles, and it falls off the ceiling."

He said the chamber where the accident occurred will be sealed off until federal mine safety inspectors from Washington and Denver arrive Tuesday to investigate. A friend of Austin's, who asked not to be named, said he and other miners were nervous about returning to work. "It makes me not want to go down there," he said. "It's one of those things that goes with the job," he said. "Every time you go into the portal, you never know if you're going to walk out or be carried out. Every day you just live with it. There's always that anxious feeling at quitting time that I made it another day without getting hurt."

Joseph A. Greaves was born April 5, 1875 in Winter Quarters, Emery, Utah. He was married to Margaret Ann Morris on February 12, 1900 in Scofield, Carbon, Utah only three months before Joseph was killed in the Winter Quarters Mine explosion. Their son Joseph Graves was born September 12, 1900, five months after his father died in the mine.

Heber Gregerson, aged 34, who was trapped in a fall of loose coal at mine No. 1 of the Consolidated Fuel company, at Hiawatha, Carbon County, early Wednesday forenoon, died yesterday morning at Holy Cross hospital without regaining consciousness. His body was shipped to Castle Dale for burial last night by Undertaker J. W. Taylor. The dead man has a wife and family.

Gregerson entered the coal mine at 7 o'clock, relieving members of the night shift, who had attempted to undercut a spire of coal. Though portions of the rise in the coal vein looked dangerous, Gregerson, who is a veteran miner, drove his pick into it. As he tugged at the pick handle a huge mass of coal dropped down on him, and it required all the strength that his two companions possessed to release him.

Officials of the Consolidated Fuel company gave out the announcement yesterday that it was the first fatal accident in the history of the Hiawatha developments, and that the death of Gregerson will be thoroughly investigated.

Heber Gregerson, Danish, miner, aged 34 years, married, wife and two children, injured in mine No. 1, Hiawatha, Utah in room No. 4, the 22nd day of February, 1910, at about 2:30 o'clock p.m. At the time of the accident, Gregerson and his partners, Peterson, Quilico and Young, were sitting under some coal that had been made loose by a shot which had left some coal hanging from the parting which is seven feet high from the floor. Gregerson and his partners had just loaded a car and, while waiting for another empty car to be brought them, they sat down under the coal which they knew to be loose. While sitting there, part of the loose coal fell, catching Gregerson and injuring him so that he died in the hospital on the morning of the 24th of February.

William Tate, CO, Severely Crushed in Same Accident; Funeral Services in Price for victim Andrew Edward Gruber, 31, master mechanic of the U.S. Fuel Co., was instantly killed yesterday morning in the King mine no. One of the United States Fuel company at Hiawatha when he was caught in a jam between a steel fire door weighing about six hundred pounds and the end of an electric motor car William Tate, 60, motorman of the death car was caught by the sweep of the door and sustained serious and perhaps fatal injuries.

Mr. Gruber, in company with Mr. Tate, Joseph Parmales and Fred Thompson were conveying a mine fire door, into the mine for installation. The door rested on a small pit car, which was being pushed by the electric motor, in which the men were riding. The door was about seven feet in width and projected over the side of the five foot truck with about one foot to spare on either side.

As the car rounded a curve, about fifty feet from the west entrance to the mine, the weight of the door shifted, causing the right side of the door to strike the wall of the drift. This caused the left side to back slide rapidly, and Tate, on the left side of the motor was struck down. Mr. Gruber who was on Tate's right was crushed between the door and the corner of the car. He was severely crushed and died instantly in the opinion of the doctors who examined him.

When extricated, Mr. Gruber was found to have five crushed ribs, two ruptured lungs, both arms fractured and the fifth vertebra broken. Mr. Tate, substantiated five broken ribs, a broken arm and a severe congestion of the lungs. Tate was placed on Train No. 3 of the Denver and Rio Grande western railroad to be taken to the Salt Lake hospital for treatment.

January 17, 1907 Steve Grukovich, Austrian, single, aged twenty-three years, a driver, was killed in No. 4 mine, Sunnyside, on the third right back entry. Grukovich was taking empty cars into third right back entry, and when within about sixty feet of the face, an explosion of gas occurred, caused by either his lamp or the lamps of the back entry men igniting the gas. The concussion knocked him off the car, his head striking the rail. The fall must have stunned him, and he was overcome with the after damp. No inquest was held. State Coal Mine Inspector Thomas conducted an investigation.

Dan Grundvig, 27 is dead and Tony Leget, 33 years of age, is ill as the result of a monster snow slide at Wattis Wednesday, which carried the two down the mountain side on its crest and tossed them over the 100 foot cliff, burying them deep under the avalanche.

The two men, miners for the Lion Coal company, were walking the canyon to the powder house about 1:30 o'clock, and were close to the mouth of the Wattis mine, when they were warned of the oncoming slide by workers on the other side of the canyon. Unable to get out of the way, they rode the top of the avalanche down the steep incline for half a hundred feet and were thrown over the brink of the high ledge.

Leger was found by rescuers fifteen feet under the snow at the foot of the ledge, and the body of Grundvig was even deeper. Grundvig was dead. It took an hour and a half to reach the men and Leger was thought to be fatally hurt. After working with him several hours, his condition was somewhat improved and hopes were held out for his recovery. He suffered an extreme case of chills upon coming in contact with air.

Daniel R. Grundvig, 27, miner for the Lion Coal company at Wattis who was killed in the slide there yesterday, will be buried Sunday afternoon at Wellington. Services will be held at the ward chapel there in charge of Bishop Eugene Branch. The body will be at the Wallace & Marcun Mortuary until then.

The funeral and burial took place yesterday at Logan, where the young man's relatives reside.

PRICE-Injuries suffered when crushed beneath falling top coal at the Utah Fuel company mine at Sunnyside caused the death of Jesus Guillen, 52, Thursday night. Mr. Guillen died while en route to a Salt Lake City hospital of a crushed chest, broken leg and skull fracture. He was working near a conveyor leaded in the mine Thursday morning when the accident occurred. He was treated by Dr. D. T. Madsen at Sunnyside and was being brought to Salt Lake City in a company ambulance. He had been employed by the company only a short time.

Price-Four coal miners who were removing timber supports in a mine south of here were killed in an accident one miner called "one of those things that goes with the job ... you never know if you're going to walk out or be carried out." The men died when a huge slab of rock fell on them Friday at the Starpoint No. 1 coal mine 20 miles south of Price. The victims were part of a 10-man crew removing timbers from a section that had already been mined, said Floyd Tucker, general superintendent for Plateau Mining Co.

He identified the men as Kerry Grange, of Huntington; Mike Guzman, of Price; Bill Gentry, of Price; and Kim Nightingale, of Carbondale, Colo. Allan Austin of Price was injured and was in serious but stable condition Friday night at a Price hospital. Tucker said controlled cave-ins occur as pillars are removed, but the 15-foot by 15-foot slab of rock that fell on the five men was in a section where a cave-in was not expected. It's just like a loose piece of plaster on your roof," said Tucker. "It sits there all year, you walk under it and nothing happens. Then the snow comes, and the house settles, and it falls off the ceiling."

He said the chamber where the accident occurred will be sealed off until federal mine safety inspectors from Washington and Denver arrive Tuesday to investigate. A friend of Austin's, who asked not to be named, said he and other miners were nervous about returning to work. "It makes me not want to go down there," he said. "It's one of those things that goes with the job," he said. "Every time you go into the portal, you never know if you're going to walk out or be carried out. Every day you just live with it. There's always that anxious feeling at quitting time that I made it another day without getting hurt."

Victor Hakkinen, a Finlander, 35 years old and married, leaves a wife and two children, was fatally injured July 23, 1920, Hiawatha No. 1 Mine, by a fall of coal.

We had orders to bury him, Mother did.

When they did identify Dad by his clothes they didn't tell us that his whole body was burned. There was nobody allowed to see them [the bodies] and the day we buried them we buried Grandpa [Jones] and Dad. "...

...He [Dad] had been buried at least overnight, maybe even two days...All I remember is us kids were in the front room, Mother was in the other room, Uncle Alec [Jones] was there and there was other people...Uncle Alec, he was the nice Uncle with the terrible temper. This man came to the door and knocked and Uncle Alec went to the door and he, this man, asked for Mother and she came to the door and he told Mother that they'd found Dad's head in the haulage way and that's when Uncle Alec got so mad, in fact, he went out the door after the guy, I think he could have killed him. I don't know if he caught him, but I bet he did, knowing Alec.

The body was exhumed to place the skull in the casket also. Uncle Alec went up to the cemetery to see that everything was taken care of..."

Letter dated May 2, 1904 to Mr. H. G. Williams, General Manager, Utah Fuel and P. V. Coal Company from Gomer Thomas, State Coal Mine Inspector.

On the morning of April the 9th I was making my inspection of No. 2 Mine, I was going along the main entry and as I entered the sidetrack at the bottom of the 2nd butt entry I met a man running out along the entry and he told me that there had been a man killed at the other end of the sidetrack. From here I hurried on to the place of accident and saw that they had just taken the body of Willard Hitchcock from under the car. I examined the body carefully and saw that he was dead. I then carefully looked over the place and inquired into the cause of the same and found that Hitchcock was standing on the loaded track where the cars were landing from the second butt entry and a loaded trip came down out of the second butt entry on the track of the empty cars and on the track where Hitchcock was standing, striking him down and running over his body, killing him instantly. The accident took place about 8:30. I then went on through the mine and came out.

Immediate cause of the explosion, which mine officials described as a small "puff" has not been determined. The explosion occurred in a "room" of the mine where the two victims were the only workers.

Sekitus and Ozeki went on shift together and were pulling down coal in the chamber when the explosion occurred. Their clothes, ignited by the blast, enveloped them in flames.

Other miners, attracted by the blast, rescued the men after smothering the flames. They were given emergency treatment at the local hospital at Storrs and on Tuesday they were brought to the Holy Cross for treatment. They died within a few minutes of each other Thursday night. Their bodies are at the O'Donnell mortuary.

On my fifth visit of inspection on Oct. 5th, 1901. On Oct. 4th I received a message from the mine superintendent, stating that two men had been killed in No. 1 mine on the night of Oct. 3rd. Their names were Edward Hughes and James Cunningham. I arrived at the mine on Oct. 5th as this was the first train I could get there on. I at once proceeded to examine the part of the mine in which the accident occurred and found it to be in no way a dangerous place. There had been a shot fired in the roof which did not bring all the loose rock down. Hughes and Cunningham with three other men had gone back after the shot had been fired and sounded the roof with a pick, thinking it was safe. Hughes and Cunningham proceeded to load a car of rock directly under the place where the shot had been fired, while thus engaged a portion of the rock fell, striking the two men and killing them instantly. The rock which fell on these men, as I found it, was thick in the center and thin on the edges. In my opinion the men did sound the rock, they sounded it in the thick part, which would make it sound quite solid, at the same time the rock may have been loose, made so by the shot they had just fired. Twenty minutes after the shot had been fired the rock fell.

Sunnyside, Oct 4 - James Cunningham, of Rock Springs, Wyoming, and Edward Hughes, of Scranton, Pennsylvania, were instantly killed in No. 1 mine last night by a fall of rock.

Sunnyside, Oct. 4, As the result of being caught under a mass of rock that caved from the roof of a tunnel in mine No. 1 of the Utah Fuel company here last night, two miners lost their lives. They were James Cunningham and Edward Hughes.

The accident occurred shortly after midnight. The miners belonged to the class known as rockmen. It was their duty to clear away the rock so that the coal could be more readily mined. In company with several other employees, Hughes and Cunningham had fired a shot in the center of the tunnel roof.

It broke down about two carloads of rock and, after picking off the hanging fragments that looked dangerous, the work of loading the cars was begun. Suddenly, without a moment's warning a great mass of stone that had been loosened by the shot fell from the roof of the tunnel.

Cunningham and Hughes were directly under it and their lives were instantly crushed out. The bodies were recovered shortly after the accident and taken to the homes of the dead men. Superintendent J. R. Sharp wired State Coal Mine Inspector Gomer M. Thomas about the fatality and received word that the inspector would come to Sunnyside at once.

The body of James Cunningham, who was killed by an explosion in no. 1 coal mine at Sunnyside early Thursday morning, together with Edward Hughes, was brought to Salt Lake City yesterday to be embalmed preparatory to removal to Rock Springs for burial. Mrs. Cunningham and her 12-year-old son accompanied the remains, stopping over night at the Kenyon.

"It was a terrible blow." Said Mrs. Cunningham last night. My husband and his partner, Hughes, had set a blast. Upon its failure to explode they went to the spot to investigate. Without warning the explosion followed, the concussion and falling stone killing both. We have always lived at Rock Springs and we are going there to conduct the funeral."

Services were held at Sunnyside yesterday for both victims and Hughes was laid to rest. He was from Wales and so far as could be found, had no immediate relatives. Cunningham's funeral will occur Monday.

Sunnyside, Carbon, Co., Oct 4 - James Cunningham, formerly of Rock Springs, Wyo., and Edward Hughes of Scranton, Penn., were instantly killed last night in No. 1 mine, while taking down rock.

One of the men sounded the roof and said it was all right so the others commenced to load the car, when the rock fell, killing the two men, and Archie Brown narrowly escaped death.

Cunningham leaves a wife and one child. Hughes is said to be married, but it is not known where his wife lives. Cunningham's body will be shipped to Rock Springs if possible. Both mines are idle today. Later - James Laverty and Geo. Goldie, both stated that they examined the roof prior to loading the car, and pronounced it safe.

Sunnyside - Carbon County - Two coal miners were killed and four of a rescue crew were injured in a series of "bounces" (earth tremors) 3 1/2 miles underground here Wednesday. The tragedy occurred in "Sunnyside No. 1" a Kaiser Steel Co. mine about 120 miles southeast of Salt Lake City. Crushed under a pile of coal and rock as the roof and sides of the mine tunnel caved in were Leland J. Huntsman, 48, Castle Dale, Emery County, and Morris Marzo, 46, of 545 S. 1st West, Price.

A companion, Phil Pero, of Price, was knocked down by the cascading debris, but escaped serious injury because he was several feet away from where the main cave-in occurred. He and the other two had just started the swing shift at about 3:45 p.m. Wednesday when the tragedy occurred.

A rescue crew of about 16 men, summoned by Pero who made his way to the surface was preparing to remove the bodies of the two dead men when another bounce occurred, injuring four of them. This took place at about 10:40 p.m. Wednesday and delayed removal of the bodies until 2 a.m. Thursday.

Preston Parrish, 49, Sunnyside, two broken bones in his left foot.
John Torrez, 41, Sunnyside, back injury
Wallace Jensen, 46, Sunnyside, broken rib.
William Topolovec, 45, Spring Glen, Carbon County, bruises.
Jensen, Torrez, and Parrish remained in the Permanente Foundation Hospital, Dragerton, Thursday, but were not in serious condition.

The three men were readying a continuous mining machine for operation at the end of a tunnel which slopes downward into the mountainside for about 3 1/2 miles. Marzo was the machine's operator. Huntsman, his helper, and Pero the mechanic.

Mr. Pero said the other two men were standing with their back to the mine face replacing some bits in the machine when the earth shuddered, spraying the men with dust and rock. He said he turned and thought he heard Marzo say, "Let's get the h-outa here." "Just then the second bounce hit and I got banged in the head and knocked down," he said. "I started crawling away when the third bounce hit. I looked back, but couldn't see anything but dust and smoke, I just kept crawling away.

Shortly after he reached the surface, a rescue crew was organized, headed by John Peperakis, superintendent of the mine. They found the bodies of the two victims lying head-to-head about six inches apart. They apparently had died instantly.

At this point, another terrifying "bounce" shook the mine, loosening more rock and coal and injuring four of the rescuers. The latest casualties were brought out and a fresh crew again went down to remove the bodies. Among those assisting in rescue operations were two Utah mine inspectors, Steve Hatsis and Frank Ularich. A federal mine inspector who happened to be in the area, Thomas Ray, also accompanied the rescue crew.

Morris Marzo was born Dec. 1, 1917, at Mohrland, Emery County, to Mr. and Mrs. Virginia Marzo. He was married to Perena Bladig, July 3, 1949, at Ely, Nev. Survivors include his wife and two children, Jack E., Provo, and Mrs. Jolene Lipan, San Francisco; also a brother, Jack B. Grand Canyon, Arizona, and two sisters, Helen Marzo, Salt Lake City and Margaret Rolando, Helper.

Leland J. Huntsman was born Jan. 1, 1915, to Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Huntsman, Emery City. He is survived by his wife, Ruth, and five children, Dan Lee, Ramona, Ronald, Irene and Calvin.

Both bodies were taken to Mitchell Funeral Home, Price, where funeral arrangements were pending.

Spring Glen, Carbon County - The groaning of earth, the crackling of timbers and rock, blinding dust and smoke.

William Topolovec, 45 year old coal miner, told of these terrors Thursday from his home here where he was recovering from the ordeal of a "bounce" or earth tremor 3 1/2 miles underground which almost took his life. He was one of the four rescuers injured in a series of bounces as they were preparing to remove the bodies of two other miners killed by similar cave-ins. Mr. Topolovec told how he and several companions "just naturally" headed for the scene when they heard there had been a cave-in at the 11st West tunnel where two men were reported trapped.

The veteran miner, who had never before experienced a "bounce" in 20 years of coal mining, was among the first to reach Leland J. Huntsman and Morris Marzo who had been crushed to death by falling slabs of coal and rock. "It was like a wall of water, knocking us to the ground." He said, describing the first bounce which hit the rescue party. This sloughed a rib off the mine tunnel, partly burying Mr. Topolovec and three others. While he was trying to gather his wits, another bounce rocked the dust-filled corridor. "This really scared me, because I thought the whole roof was coming in," he later told reporters.

Sunnyside, Utah, June 4 - Two veteran miners died yesterday in a rock cave-in deep inside a central Utah coal mine. A third escaped unhurt, but four rescuers suffered minor injuries in a second rock fall as they tried to remove the two victim's bodies. "I was smacked by some rock and coal." Said Paul Pero, 55 of Price, Utah, who survived the cave-in. "I heard Marzo say "Let's get the h-out of here."

Morris Marzo, 47, also of Price, and Leland Huntsman, 49, of Castle Dale, Utah, were identified by company officials as the victims. Pero said he and the other two miners had just begun their shift when the cave-in hit. "I started crawling away," he said. "I looked back. I couldn't see anything, but dust and debris. I just kept crawling away." Rescuers worked six hours-much of the time by hand-removing rocks and debris that fell on the bodies in the 1,500 foot deep mine shaft. A spokesman for Kaiser Steel Co. the mine owner, said the cave-in was caused by a minor shifting of earth induced by removal of soft coal in the six foot high shaft.
