## Narrative

The Production Hoist kicked out and would not restart.  It was determined that the lower over travel switch in the shaft had shorted out because of water.  The switch was replaced and the hoist started again.  The mine had to be evacuated when the hoist went down, because the Production Shaft is the second escapeway out of the mine.  The hoist started again at 5:45 p.m.
