I’m wanting to say he ended up with 67k out of the deal.
Life has a way of working out. When Chevron bought out Gulf my grandmother got a call out of the blue. Apparently her father had a very small oil company back in the 20’s that was purchased by gulf or a precursor of Gulf. They paid my great grandfather in stock. When Chevron bought Gulf they settled up.

Diamond Crystal got a big chunk ($32mm) and they may have paid the miners from that. There would also have been a lot of smaller claims by land owners, home owners, boat owners etc. $67k for a claim with no major physical injury and a short duration of the event where they were in jeopardy is actually pretty darn good for 40 years ago.
