Berniece Chadwick, Alberta Limatta, and Ella Burnett with Hawkeye and Jean Flaherty behind them in the cap lamp room. The belts visible on Berniece and Ella hold a battery pack on the back with a power cord attaching to the lamp.

From left, Bill Burnett, Hawkeye (Gordon) Flaherty, and Ella Burnett are standing in front of cap lamp units at 16 level in the Gilman mine. Alberta Limatta is at far right.
The shaft house had a 2 cage lift system, taking miners between levels. It could work with one cage going up and the other down, or with just one isolated cage moving. Cap lamps were put on before going into the mine and returned upon coming out.
