Shown here is the open mine pit into which little Ruth Ann Miller, 7, is reputed to have fallen Saturday while playing and picking strawberries with her brother, Gary, 10. The mile deep vertical shaft is cluttered with debris, assorted timbers and pipes, so that these have to be removed before the improvised skip can be lowered. The cap is shown at left. About half of the slab has been broken to permit search operations. The protective barbed wire fence is revealed enclosing the pit opening. Photo was taken Saturday at 7:00 p.m. while miners and other workmen were readying a big Gundlach crane with extensive cable to act as a hoist engine. Location is near Calumet's Legion Field, about a mile distant from the pit. [Image of the shaft the child fell into.] Scanned: March 5, 2009 |

Calumet and Hecla Fire Chief Al Beauchene was the first to enter the hole when the department arrived at the site shortly before noon Saturday. Firemen quickly enlarged the hole and used a ladder to allow Beauchene to enter the shaft. It was was determined soon afterward that part of the concrete cap would have to be removed. [Mr. Beauchene is shown at the opening of the pit.] Scanned: March 5, 2009 |
