The Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine was closed in the 1960s but still operates tours
One person is dead and 12 are trapped in a former Colorado gold mine after an elevator malfunctioned at the tourist site, authorities said Thursday.
The sheriff said they could rescue the trapped group by rope if necessary, but were hoping to get the elevator system safely working. The state was sending an elevator expert to the scene. Authorities were communicating with the trapped group with radios, but the group had not been told the extent of the problem with the elevator, according to Mikesell, who added, “That’s because I want to keep people calm.”
