Boy saves miners by manning hoist as dynamite box catches fire
In Houghton Michigan on May 7 a boy named John Thomas stayed at his post and operated a compressed air hoisting engine as a box holding 200 pounds of dynamite caught fire ten feet away. He alerted workers and ferried them to safety before the blast shredded the engine, sparing all at the Tamarack mine from injury. The blaze started from seven dynamite cases set aside for future use on the twenty third level, and though the explosion occurred after he hoisted the men to a safe level, no one was hurt and daylight was reached from a depth of 3000 to 4000 feet.
