  • is an Iron Ore mine any safer than the rest of the many different types of mines? I am heavily considering mining for the Wings lake iron ore company out of St. Louis MO. I live only 15 minutes from the soon to be mining site out of Pea Ridge.

  • is an Iron Ore mine safer than any of the other types of mines?

  • My dad was friends with Ron and what was never mentioned was that Ron's wife back in '72 was in the middle of divorcing him when the mine disaster occured. Thinking that she may be able get the large amount of money given to survivors as part of the death benefits package, she stopped the divorce proceedings and for awhile, thought she had it made.....that was until Ron came out of the mine alive and well.
