Chisholm mine rescue device (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

Kilted Cowboy said:
the title is missing an H, it is ChisHolm, which I suspect is related to the iron ore mines in Chisholm, MN. (what we call "The Iron Range" or more often, just "the Range") I couldn't find any stories of a rescue/disaster during this time, though there was one in 1922. It's possible this device was developed locally or there was a photo of a rescue at the mine.

Another Bain/LOC photo related to mine rescues:
B-59 said:
It may also be related to K. H. Chisholm, inspector of United States Bureau of Mines. The Morning Oregonian. (Portland, Or.) 1861-1937, September 06, 1918, Image 7., col. 5 "Inspector May Go Abroad" reported that he was directing the installing of safety devices at the Beaver Hill mines. According to the Bisbee daily review., January 20, 1916, Page 8, col. 5, "FIRST AID METHODS AND MINE RESCUE WORKS ARE TAUGHT", he was in the mine rescue department and superintended U. S. Mine-Rescue Car No. 2.
Arden said:
Thanks B-59 for your interesting research on K.H. Chisolm, the US Bureau of Mines inspector who was working with mine safety issues. We can add that the image is possibly related to his work.
