"UTAH HAS BEEN THE SCENE OF TWO MAJOR mine disasters. On May 1, 1900, an explosion at the Winter Quarters Mine in Scofield killed 200 men. Less than a quarter-century later, 171 men were killed when an explosion rocked the Number 2 Mine at Castle Gate on March 8, 1924. In some ways, responses to the two tragedies were similar, but in other ways the assistance available to families of the dead miners differed significantly.
