Improved to Good Article status by Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk). Nominated by Oceanh (talk) at 19:37, 17 November 2015 (UTC).
This article is a newly promoted GA and is long enough and nominated in a timely fashion. Approving ALT1 because people did not live at the mine, as the original hook implies, but in dwellings a little lower down the mountain. Both claims are cited to reliable sources and the hook facts are accepted in good faith. The image is appropriately licensed, the article is neutral, and I detected no policy issues.
