GUNNISON COUNTY, COLORADO MINING DEATHS M-Z
Colorado became
concerned very early about the large number of deaths caused by mining
accidents. Attempting to understand and solve the problem, the
Legislature passed a law that mining companies had to report all mining
accidents that resulted in fatalities. This was done long before a state
law was passed requiring death certificates on all Colorado citizens.
