These sheave wheels from the Speculator Mine were used to hoist the bodies of the 168 miners who died in the Granite Mtn. Mine Disaster, June 8, 1917.
It remains the worst metal mining tragedy in U.S. History. The Granite Mtn. shaft was burned out, so rescue was through the Speculator, connected underground.
