Description |
English: Many coal mines were located in the Cascade foothills, in the south central part of King County. In 1906, 1,358,877 tons of coal were mined in this area. Newcastle, Black Diamond, Issaquah, Renton, and other towns grew up around the mines. This photo, probably taken between 1905 and 1910, shows a group of coal miners at the early entrance of the Ford Slope mine at Coal Creek, near Newcastle. The mine was opened in 1905, reached full production by 1910, and closed in 1926. The miners wear headlamps to light their way in the darkness and two of the men carry lunch pails. Original photograph: ca 1910. Copied after 1975 by the Museum of History and Industry.
