Interesting Facts

Anderson, Frank W. Hillcrest Mine Disaster. "Tom Corkill, 41, miner, who had already survived a terrible blast in the Kenmore mines, went to work that morning with a feeling of nostalgia. He had obtained a homestead in the Lethbridge area and would be leaving for it on Saturday. This would be his last shift in the Hillcrest workings..." [Where is the Kenmore mine? Could it be Canmore, Alberta?]
