| Summary | "The Iron Boys as Foremen; or, Heading the Diamond Drill Shift" by James R. Mears is an adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows young miners Steve Rush and Bob Jarvis, known as the Iron Boys, as they navigate challenges in the mining industry, facing perils such as accidents and fires, while also dealing with the dynamics of labor organization. The book sets the stage for action and camaraderie, with the boys at the center of their thrilling undertakings. The beginning of the book plunges readers into a life-threatening situation as Steve and his colleagues find themselves trapped inside a malfunctioning cage in the Red Rock Mine. As the cage begins to sway and ultimately tips over, Steve's quick thinking and physical strength become key to the survival of his friends. He devises a plan to hold on and help his companions escape the dire circumstances they face. The opening portion establishes both the dangerous environment of the mines and the bravery of the main characters, propelling the narrative into thrilling interactions and challenges that foreshadow deeper conflicts and the overarching themes surrounding work, danger, and emerging labor movements.
