The summer of 1891 in Rock Springs witnessed one of the most explosive and foolish tragedies that has been recorded.
The blast, which shook the small mining town, was recorded in the Rock Springs Miner newspaper report on July 18, 1891.
According to the report, around 3 pm, a “loud, long and deep” explosion occurred, which sent a cloud of smoke “well to the heavens.”

“But happily and miraculously all escaped; only one of the many children, some of whom were playing within two hundred yards of the place, was injured,” the report read.
