Stay tuned for In Our Range On The Way Next, brought to you by Westgate Nursing Rehabilitation and Assisted Living
Center.
Good morning and welcome to In Our Range.
This is part two of my conversation with Larry Peterson, where we discuss the Papst Mine disaster of September 24th, 1926, and the events coming up to commemorate that disaster right here in Ironwood.
We'll pick up where we left off.
Thanks for listening.
It's a family.
Yeah.
Get to the wife, get to the wife, get to the kids,
you
know what I mean?
through everything.
You
know, because you got people that just want to mob them.
You're absolutely beside themselves.
And once they got pulled out of the ground, they were all sent over to Grandview, you know, and given some food.
And there's a lovely story in there that we've talked about before where one of the miners, I can't remember his name, but his kids came to visit him and he gave them his ice cream and his fruit.
You don't get this very
often.
You don't get it very often.
I want
you to have this,
you know.
So I gave him fruit and they gave him the ice cream, you
know.
It's
sort of, there is an unwoven in there.
It is woven, but you gotta be willing to read it.
There is a cast system, okay.
Look at what was going on on the Google Epic range besides mining and its accidents, okay.
Luther All Right High School.
You know, it's almost a million bucks for that thing.
Then you got the memorial building.
You got the Masonic Temple.
And plus we're getting to be the biggest city in the U.B.
And people were making money.
If you were a mining captain or a shift boss or something like that, you could make a nice living.
And even
if you weren't making that much money, like you mentioned, you had this million dollar school there, so you knew your kids.
would likely be doing better than you.
So even if you were down in that mind until the day you died, your dream of coming to America and having your children have better opportunities in the life for you.
If it can't be
you, it can be an extension of yourself.
And that means your children.
And you got somebody's people to come over here even up until the day they were retired and then later on died or whatever, they didn't have a pot, okay?
but they managed to get their kid to med school, you know?
That is what was the heart and soul.
I want a
better life, but I want a better life for my kids more than I want them for myself.
And that's why I do what I do.
And we
need that.
We still need that ethic.
We don't have that.
Wouldn't that disappear?
Part of it disappeared when the hardship started to disappear.
You know, all of a sudden everybody's got an eight hour
eat our shit, eat our day, technology changing, unions actually have something to say, you know, everything is changing and then when not all that flux and all that sort of that historical evolution is going on, all this minutiae that is just as important gets lost.
Yeah, Larry is you're very passionate about all this.
So I'm sure you're excited about these events that are coming up.
There'll be tours of G&H Shaft on Saturday, September 26th.
You'll be doing a roundtable discussion on Thursday, which is the actual day of the cave in when these men were trapped.
You'll be joined by Bruce Cox and Ivan Helen and you'll be able to go into much more detail there than we can
hear.
Ivan Helen and Bruce Cox have put into just this accident alone.
is mind-boggling.
And we were talking about being nationally noticed.
If you go down to Miner's Memorial Heritage Park, I mean, you're actually in the park, deer, vegetation, et cetera, et cetera.
A lot of history there, okay?
And there is Ivan's History Trail.
And he's got copies of old newspapers from Amid.
Well, the boonies in California and everything else that are reflecting on that accident that has happened here We had national attention.
We should still be getting national attention because it was one of a kind Yeah, and it's lost anyway.
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to that roundtable discussion I think you and Ivan have done incredible work with the miners park and to be able to
You know, to be able to hear you mix it up with Ivan and Bruce Cox with all this stuff, I'm sure it's going to be an incredibly illuminating and wonderful event.
Very quickly, but I just got a hold of Mr. Cox's book 5 on Oliver's Ironman.
And you know, some of these guys that have been working there for like 40 years, 50 years, and they got their little metal or whatever.
You know, and you look at their later lives, you know, like I outlined some of what was in there.
How many died of cancers?
How many died of silicosis and things like that?
You know, there was a legacy there of fatalities on a slow death.
Yeah, that was one thing that I noticed when it came to the aftermath in the book, Perfectly Safe, when Bruce Cox describes
what happens to the miners afterwards you know it did seem like so many of them died from lung issues or stomach cancer or and died youngish you know it's reminiscent of what we just went through with the 25th of September 11th 25th anniversary of September 11th where
You know, yes, we lost 3,000 on that day, but we've lost thousands of more because of the air quality and first responders getting cancer because of all the stuff they are breathing in down there.
And so the fatalities don't stop at just those three men.
So the round table a hundred years later the pap's mine disaster will be going from 6 to 7 p.m.. It's scheduled currently to be at the ironwood Carnegie library But that might get moved to the memorial building and then on the 26th.
There'll be tours
of G Shaft and H Shaft, which is something that I know is near and dear to your heart, is taking people around the Miners Park where all this history happened.
And so I'm sure you're glad to be seeing that happening.
They'll be meeting at the Bonnie Road Trailhead at 1 p.m.
It'll be going till 3.
And then this incredible program will begin on Saturday the 26th.
It goes from 6.30 to 8.30.
There'll be a memorial service with a hymn, tributes and benediction.
Bill Jamerson will be doing songs and stories.
Ivan will be
giving a historical presentation.
And then there was a radio play written some years back by Ray Marine, who did a radio play of The Disaster.
There'll be a video of that that's shown and a documentary film feature.
This sounds like a really wonderful event.
It's totally appropriate and wonderful that this will be happening at the Memorial Building.
So what a great, great use for that
space.
during the disaster and after the disaster where we collectively grieve.
We also collectively celebrated with the recovery of the 43.
So it's very poignant in using the memorial building for this hundredth anniversary observation.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Even though it was dedicated to the men who served in World War One, you know full well.
that the people here mining, they were serving in World War I too.
They providing all that iron to make all that steel to help the United States come out victorious on that end.
So I'm looking forward to that and then
You know, we're going to talk about something that you and I have mentioned maybe about two or three times on the radio before, which is the creation of some kind of permanent memorial or monument in the miners park at G Shaft.
And likely we should be thinking about this at each of the shafts that run through that park.
And you have a wonderful story about a monument that was built up there, up there right on the edge of Jesseville there in 1918, 1919.
The name of the kid.
There's a 19 year old kid His name was Edward Ryan.
His father's name was Ed too.
The kid was killed in a tragic accident.
I believe it was a cave in on
November 8th, 1918, and he was interned in the Riverside Cemetery on November 11th, the first armistice day in 1918.
He, you know, and I've always, over the years, been advocating.
We need a monument.
We need something permanent.
It makes it an arms, you know, preserves the magnitude of the sacrifice that was made.
You got the highest rate of mining fatalities outside of like the Pennsylvania coalfields.
That is truly noteworthy instead of collective amnesia.
you know and I've always had sort of a chip on my shoulder that why can't we get on with this and have some sort of a real monument to these you know these all these people but at the same time takes fully into account who they were and the nuances and biographical whatever okay and then all of a sudden it comes back to me that up on top of Newport Hill there is a monument to a mining fatality
fatality was killed in the Newport Mine.
And so, hey, we are ahead of the curve in 1918.
Now, I know basically it was there.
I mean, it's a beautiful slab of marble and his parents probably financed most of it.
But at the same time, you can see just by the way it's erected and how it's preserved.
I mean, it's
just as much as rap your pump bellies right next to him you know where he had found iron ore 1871 here's this kid that was killed in uh 1918 at the very end of the war and how much ore did he mine you know was he in there at 17 or 18 you know and I suppose you know he's young he's strong he has a chance
And maybe his parents are saying, no, I don't want you to go off the war, not until you're absolutely totally independent, until then you work on the mine.
Yeah.
So we have an example of this permanent monument to a single minor, a young man passed away up then the Newport Mine, and it's up there on the hill across from the old medical
facility,
the old clinic.
Where we used to
have our long X-rays
and
our chest X-rays.
Anyway, yeah, the clinic up there across the street, there is these two large boulders and there's a plaque out there, duly, and it's important, Raphael Pompelli's discovery of ore.
oxides on those stones, these yellow stains.
And then there's all the old story, you know, about all the things that Raphael did and how rich he got and everything else.
Let's not go there.
Newport does name Dapper.
Newport, you know, all out on the East Coast.
Rhode Island.
Yeah,
Raphael had a house over there.
He was doing okay, huh?
Yeah.
But anyway, let's not go any further with that.
But over where that is, look.
A short distance away and there's the monument to Edward Ryan.
So perhaps as we go through these events in the coming week, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Pap's Mine disaster, we can begin a conversation to create a monument or a memorial inside the miners' park.
that commemorates the overall sacrifice.
We talk about our mining heritage, and you mentioned it earlier, that we have a lot to celebrate with our mining heritage here, but we also often, we need to recognize the sacrifices that were made on the range as well.
You know, tragedies accumulate.
Those tragedies all accumulated as part of the experience of what was built here in the Western UP and in Northern Wisconsin.
A permanent memorial sounds very appropriate, so we would welcome any discussion to get that going.
You know, it's what it comes down to too sometimes.
If you have security or somebody's providing for you, it's rather easy to ignore, you know, the restrictions, the limitations of what you can and you can't do.
I was raised with that.
A lot of people that I know were raised with that.
And it was, that house better be damn white, and that trim better be green.
And this is where you put your garbage, and we're gonna put the storm window up for you, whether you like it or not.
And if you live in Montreal, you got an amusement center, we pitched in for your church, hey, we got a store, you could spend your own script there.
You know, it's just, those are the things we need to be aware of.
There's a lot woven in there that just sort of gets blended out.
It's all just plain
Yeah, so I hope as we commemorate this centennial that we can move this conversation forward and make something happen in that regard Larry I'm really looking forward to this roundtable discussion and these events happening at the memorial building on 26th Yeah, is there anything you want to wrap up with this morning before we head on out?
Yeah, I just uh
Falls coming up and all the colors and stuff like that.
Go to the top of Newport Hill.
Look at these monuments, but also enjoy the color because it is beautiful up there.
So I'm just saying, you can experience the same thing in Miners Memorial Park.
Visit the damn history trail.
You'll learn a lot about the PAPS Mine disaster and all the inaccuracies that are printed by somebody out in South Dakota.
Okay, so I just...
There is a lot there.
It'll tell you just how fascinating this accident really is or was, whatever.
OK, but please with the weather, still nice, all this color and everything else, plus all these all this history that's coming up.
This is the time to really enjoy the park.
Yeah, we really do live in a beautiful place in that park is is an incredible part of our community.
Hey, thanks for joining us Larry really appreciate it looking forward to these events next week.
We'll see you out there, you know Yeah, we'll get you back in here soon.
Okay.
Well have a good one Larry
you betcha
Well, I am very grateful for local artists and historian Larry Peterson to come in and talk to us about the centennial of the Papst Mine Disaster, and I'm glad for Civic Media and WJMS here to give me two days to try to share this story.
You know, we could talk on and on and on, so thankfully there are a bunch of events coming up next week, highlighting and commemorating the centennial of the Papst Mine Disaster at G-Shap.
On Thursday, September 24th at 6 p.m., the event a hundred years later, the Papst Mine
disaster roundtable discussion will feature Larry, local author Bruce Cox, and historian and preservationist Ivan Helen.
This event is scheduled to be held at the Ironwood Carnegie Library.
Due to increasing interest, the event may be moved to the memorial building to accommodate a larger audience.
Then on Saturday, September 26,
There will be tours of the Papst G and H shafts from 1 until 3pm.
Participants are meeting at the Bonnie Road Trailhead of the Minors Memorial Park.
Also on September 26th at 6.30pm at the Ironwood Memorial Building, there will be an event entitled Echoes from the Eighth Level.
There will be a memorial service with hymns, tributes, and benediction.
Local History presenter Bill Jamerson will perform songs and tell stories.
Ivan Helen will give a historical presentation.
There will be a video of a radio play by history curator Ray Maureen.
There will also be a documentary film feature by TV6 Marquette.
It would be wonderful to see a lot of people turn out to commemorate this incredible event that made national news 100 years ago.
My thanks again to Larry Peterson.
I would also like to offer deep gratitude to Bruce Cox for all his work and the books.
Looking forward to seeing him mix it up with
Larry and Ivan.
And I do want to thank Ivan Helen and Tom Kangus and Rick Simo and so many of the folks out there who volunteer with the Miners Memorial Park to keep that park the treasure that it is.
They've helped build it, maintain it, and keep it going.
Ivan and Tom recently did a bunch of great work to clear out the area around the G Shaft there.
Get out there and check out that work, take in the history and take in the nature.
Thank you for joining us on In Our Range this morning.
I appreciate you listening.
I'm your host, Mike LeBeau, and we will be back next week.
