Description:
"Accidents related to Kennecott's hazardous enterprise occurred with alarming frequency. Some were acts of nature, like avalanches and landslides, but more common were accidents in the mines, mill and on the tramway. Injured workers often sued Kennecott. The company usually fought back and was not known for its generosity" (Hunt 1991:76).
