Official counts list dozens dead; contemporary reports and later historians put the toll far higher.

It was one of the occupation's final atrocities; Guam's annual commemorations and the cave site itself keep the memory deliberately visible as part of the island's war-memory landscape.

Investigators logged it; whether instruments or interpretation produ

After the old headframe collapsed in 2015, preservationists raised a restored Daly West headframe on a new foundation in July 2022 — giving Park City back its most visible piece of silver-era skyline, the structure that once lowered men into the tunnels where 34 of them never came back up. The restored frame doubles as a memorial to the 1902 dead.
