the message being sent today to Utah’s fourth graders The Utah Division of Oil Gas and Mining’s Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program has mailed more than 30000 workbooks to 492 schools to help educate youngsters to the dangers of abandoned mines Mining Utah 's Heritage also teaches how our lives depend on mining Utah mining history and how mined lands are reclaimed “There are more than 20000 abandoned mines in Utah many of them in close proximity to the Wasatch Front" explains Mark Mesch administrator of the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program “Although we close hundreds of dangerous sites each year there are still many more to be closed so educating people about the dangers posed by these mines is of paramount importance” Since 1985 five people have died in abandoned mines in Utah and there have been more than two dozen incidents volving injuries or people becoming lost in mines An au enturer may run into poisonous air or a lack of oxygen and be overcome without warning Timbers used to shore up shafts are often old and rotting and may give way at the slightest touch or vertical shafts hundreds of feet deep may be hidden in dark shadows or under unstable and rotting flooring The dangers are numerous and the only sure way to avoid trouble is to follow the motto “Stay Out and Stay Alive" The workbook may be used by scouts and other youth groups and is available by
