Mistake Costs Two Lives

Engineer Sends Mining Cage Up and Forces Men to Jump

A mistake of the engineer in the coal mine at Mount Pulaski cost two miners 
their lives. The engineer turned the controlling lever of the elevator the 
wrong way and the cage containing seven miners who were about to descend into 
the mine shot up toward the tipple. All the men jumped. Five of them alighted 
in safety, but Charles Cox and Charles Fultz fell down the shaft, a distance 
of 300 feet, and were instantly killed.
