On September 28, 1893, the beams of the fifth level broke, which caused levels 1 - 5 to crash, allowing the River to flood those upper levels. The lowest level, level 6, was still solid with ore. It was the miners at this level who were able to escape by climbing a ladder. The 27 men who did not escape are still entombed in the bed of the Michigamme River.
