PIEPER Daily Rocket-Miner Staff Reporter ROCK SPRINGS—A 33-year old Green River man died Thursday morning at the Pilot Butte Mine northeast of Rock Springs, the first Wyoming coal mining related death since 1982. Lowell Tuttle, 33, of 2610 Minnesota Circle in Green River, was pronounced dead on arrival at the Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County. According to a release by Arch Mineral Corporation of Wyoming, owner of the mine, Tuttle was killed between 7 and 7:30 a.m. when he was pinned between a continuous mining machine and the coal rib. According to Deputy Sweetwater County Coroner Byron Willingham, Tuttle was operating the continuous miner by remote control when the accident occurred. The autopsy performed Thursday morning revealed the death was caused by multiple internal injuries to the head. According to a press release by Arch’s attorney, Blair Gardner, the Wyoming state inspector of mines and the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration were notified immediately. Arch is in the process of completing an internal investigation, according to Gardner’s release. Arnold Hannum, state inspector of mines, said his day-long investigation indicates no safety violations by the company. He said the cause of the accident seems to be “poor judgment” by Tuttle because he put himself in an unsafe position. He said Tuttle has had 15 years of mining experience. John DeMichiei, district manager for MSHA, said in a telephone interview that an investigator had been immediately dispatched Thursday from Denver. He said it is too soon for his agency to determine a cause of the accident. Following the investigation, the agency will determine if any federal mining regulations were violated. If violations are found, the citations could be issued to the company, the MSHA spokesman said. DeMichiei said the purpose of the investigation is to identify the cause of the accident and prevent additional accidents or hazards. Initial interviews could take several days, then the report will be given to the board of investigation for review and fault could be determined. Arch of Wyoming is a subsidiary of Arch Mineral Corporation and operates two surface mines in Carbon County along with the underground Pilot Butte Mine in Sweetwater County. The company purchased the Pilot Butte Mine formerly known as Stansbury Mine, from Bittercreek Resources in 1989. While some operations have been conducted at the mine since July of 1989 actual mining began in February of 1990. Hannum said the fatality is the first in Wyoming directly associated with mining operations since 1982. He said fatal accidents have happened to contractors, but not with miners. The Pilot Butte Mine is one of three underground mines operating in Wyoming today. According to Wyoming Historian Dudley Gardner, the death is the ninth reported death to occur in the former Stansbury mine since 1948. Between the years of 1909 and 1948, Sweetwater County had 336 coal mine deaths which is more than 40 percent of the underground deaths reported in Wyoming during that time, Gardner said. Since 1949, 25 deaths have been reported in Sweetwater County mines compared to the 41 total statewide. Gardner said Sweetwater County historically has the highest number of mining deaths in the state and none of the accidents were major disasters that killed large groups of people. A resident of Green River for the past year and former resident of Emery County, Utah, Tuttle was born Feb. 3, 1957 in Price, Utah, the son of Blaine James and Geneva Snow Tuttle. He attended schools in Emery County and was a graduate of the Emery High School in 1975. He married the former Cathy Larraine Davis in Orangeville, Utah, on May 18, 1974. He was a member of the L.D.S. Church.
