DENVER (AP) — Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell says one person is dead and 12 are trapped in a former Colorado gold mine after an elevator malfunctioned at the tourist site. Gov. Jared Polis’ office said Thursday the state was sending resources for the rescue effort. The mine was closed in the 1960s but still operates tours.
