DescriptionDr. Frank Diver watches as mine rescue team members go through training on handling injured miners in a building in Dawson, New Mexico. Three men kneel and hold a fourth man whose leg has been bandaged. Behind them stand three men with various bandages on their arms and head. They are training inside a room with a skeleton in the corner and a medical cot to one side. Dawson was a Phelps Dodge Corporation mining community and suffered one of the deadliest mining disasters in U.S. history in 1913 when dynamite exploded in Stag Canyon Mine #2, killing over 250 miners.On View
