Three Die in Mine Blast at Iron River
Three miners ignored a safety rule and died after a dynamite blast in an abandoned 750 foot stope at the Davidson mine on the Menominee range. Lionel Sloat 52 Henry Turcotte 41 and Fred Possanza 39 perished from a sulphur gas blaze and engulfing flames. Two other workers escaped groggy but alive, while officials cited smoldering black slate behind a cement bulkhead as the dangerous trigger.
