A circa 1910 photograph of a mine rescue squad underground. The men are equipped with masks that are connected to air tanks which provide oxygen to the men. These were called by name brand, with this particular style possibly being a Draeger. Note the barrels on the right side of the image, most likely drinking water. Jack Monahan is on the far left.
