Almy, Wyoming
Almy was a coal mining camp in Uinta County, Wyoming, near the town of Evanston. In 1881 an explosion killed 38 miners in the Central Pacific Mine, marking the first mine explosion west of the Mississippi River. Another explosion killed 13 in 1886, and a third explosion in Red Canyon in 1895 killed 62 miners, the third worst mining disaster in Wyoming history. Following the second explosion, the Wyoming territorial legislature established the office of the state mining inspector, which subsequently shut down the Almy mines in the 1940s after it was deemed too dangerous to mine there.
== 1881 explosion ==
On March 4, 1881, gases in the Central Pacific Mine number 3 exploded, killing 38 miners. On March 10, the Cheyenne Weekly Leader reported the disaster:〔Historical Summary of Mine Disasters in the United States Volume 1 Coal Mines - 1810-1958, Mine Safety and Health Administration, 1998〕
A terrific explosion occurred last night between 9
and 10 o'clock in the Central Pacific mine, killing 35
Chinamen and 3 white men. The mine was opened in
1869 and is nearly worked out. It is mine No. 3,
Nos. 1 and 2 having-been worked out. About 200
men worked in the mine by day and as many as 75
at night. Nearly the whole force was Chinamen. A
fire had been raging in the mine for 5 years, but it
had been hemmed in by stone walls. The supposition
is that gas accumulated and in some way communicated
with the fire . The explosion burned the surface
works, and the mine slope was set on fire . Fifteen
men were rescued alive from the fourth level. and
1 was badly injured from the north air course.
