Narrative

5 men were entrapped on Sugar Run elevator from 6:00am to 7:40am. Ice built up on governor rope and tripped governor switch. Ice came from a small hole in the shaft that allowed a water seep 100' from top of shaft. RG Johnson came down and put a plug in the hole to stop the leak. Ice removed from rope and shaft wall.
