The accident occurred after the miners had set off a blast and while they were engaged in baring down the loose dirt and rock. Seyeral tons of rock, which had been loosened by the blast, fell without a seconds warning. Nukala and Marm were caught by the full force of the cave-in and it was several hours before their crushed and mangled bodies could be recovered.

The two injured men, Russ and Kuretich were removed at once to the Soudan Hospital where everything possible was done to alleviate their sufferings. One of Russ’ legs was crushed so badly that it had to be amputated, the doctors at that time believing they would be able to save his life.
