Notes

Note: Death:
SNOWSLIDE KILLS MONTEZUMA MINER
Huge Mass of Snow Crashes into Shoe Basin Bunk House
as August Ostburg and Ed Larson Sleep; Former Dies Next
Day
“August Ostburg, aged 45, died early Tuesday morning at the Shoe
Basin Mine, at the foot of Argentine Pass, five miles above Montezuma, as a
result of injuries received in a snow slide Monday morning.
“The slide crashed down the mountain at 3 o’clock, completely
demolishing the bunk house and barn. Ostburg and Ed Larson, miners
employed by the Shoe Basin Company, were asleep in the bunk house at the
time. Larson was uninjured and managed to dig himself from the debris.
He found his way to the transformer house, where he wrapped himself in
such pieces of clothing as he could find, and hurried to Montezuma for
help.
“Rescuers hastened to the scene and worked for nine hours in liberating
Ostburg, who was pinned beneath the wrecked building in his bed. When
taken out he was apparently uninjured except for minor bruises. He lost
consciousness at no time and suffered no pain; it was believed that he
would be on his feet in a day or two. His death, occurring fourteen hours
later, was unexpected and doubtless due to internal injuries which were not
manifested in any way.…
“The slide occurred in an entirely new place, previous slides having
taken place on either side of the present one. It came a distance of half a
mile and was 500 feet wide. It carried before it huge boulders and a mass
of timber, and that both Ostburg and Larson were not killed outright is
considered remarkable.”
[Another account of this accident in the Georgetown Courier for Saturday,
March 11, 1916 says Shoe Basin Mine was on Ruby Mountain—buildings were at
the foot of the mountain.]’
