	Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) - Coal Mine Fatal Accident Investigation Report, Machinery, June 13, 1997
		The accident occurred as a direct result of the mine operator's failure to insure that secure blocking procedures were used on the loader bucket before performing repairs beneath the raised bucket.
		Muse, Foster, and Calhoun prepared to make repairs to the loader by installing a damaged steel "I" beam with a metal strap and wooden block wedge, which was found at the mine site, as a strut between the yoke on the rod and the cap of one of the bucket lift cylinders.
		The method used by the mine operator to support the loader arm frame assembly was not in accordance with the method stipulated in the service manual provided by the equipment manufacturer.

		In the spring of 1838, Thomas, a confirmed bachelor, met Anna Maria Calhoun.

		Calhoun, who was then secretary of state for President John Tyler, knew of his son-in-law's desire to return to Europe and aided the appointment of Clemson as chargé d'affaires or diplomat to Belgium.

	Writer's Corner - Barnacles of Gold - The Story of Dahlonega's Famed Findley Mine
		Major Graham Dugas is usually associated with the Calhoun Mine, where he made a big strike in the 1940s and made national news.

		Tours of the historic mining sites at the far end of the ridge are available, but reservations must be made in advance by calling Al Adams at 706-864-9985.

		A continuing supply of world-class pegmatite minerals from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Brazil, fabulous rhodochrosite crystals from the Sweet Home mine in Colorado, zeolites from India, and a wealth of minerals from the former Soviet Union have fueled the marketplace with a multitude of spectacular specimens over the past two years.
		Among these are granular dark blue diaboleite with orange mimetite from the Rowley mine, Maricopa County, and pale blue acicular chrysocolla pseudomorphs (to 4 mm) coating brecciated rock fragments from Eagle Eye mine, La Paz County.
		The occurrence is unusual in that it formed in a geologically short period of time, probably over the course of a few days or weeks, by the action of surface water draining over a mine dump containing soluble copper minerals.
