Answer
What kind of info do you need. I am a coal miners daughter raised and acknowledging in this area.
These coal mines were established 100 years ago in the Crows Nest Pass and have been cruel to the men who chose to make a living in them. Miners went into the tunnels every day with the uncertainty of seeing the light of day at the end of their shift. Working in the mines was quite dangerous with men losing their lives in almost every year for the first half of the century. As you can see from the list, the majority of the fatalities occurred in the years up to 1970. This was about the time that the underground operations were starting to be phased out.
The worst coal mining disaster in Canada occurred on the Alberta side of the Crows Nest Pass at the Hillcrest Collieries, where, on Junes 19,1914 an explosion took the lives of 189 men. They are buried in a mass grave in the Hillcrest Cemetary. There were many causes of injury and death in the mines. Among them were: the ignition of coal gas (methane) which killed by explosive force and/or poisonous gases; roof falls (cave-ins); runaway coal cars (known as trips); bumps (when underground geological forces cause the roof and floor of the tunnel to squeeze together); and the hazards of working with dangerous machinery. In the early years of mining the men went into the tunnels with only a small, weak open flame as their light source. It was possible to only see a few feet in front of them. Along with the dangers of poor visibility, the open flame could ignite the deadly methane gas at any moment. The life of the miner was lived perilously close to the edge. Below is in Remembrance of all the men who died in the coal mines of the Michel-Natal, Sparwood & Elkford area.
These 12 men were all killed in series of explosions which occurred shortly after the start of night shift on August 8, 1916. At the time there was a bad lightening storm taking place. It is thought that the lightening struck near the portal and travelled into the mine either on the signal wire (bells used to communicate in the mine), the cable used to pull coal cars, or along the track itself. The main entry way was constructed of 18 to 24 inch diameter timbers which were smashed and strewn all about in front of the portal. When the mine rescue team went into the mine the gases were still quite toxic and they used safety lamps and they took canaries with them to detect the deadly gases. They also found a horse dead in the tunnel and they used this to try and find Daniel Hall the hoistman who would have been driving the horse. Thomas Phillips was the fireboss, Peter Hrbka the timberman, Sam Dmytriv the rope rider, Mike Marmol the bratticeman, and the rest were all miners and labourers.
Antanas "Tony" Cepeliauskas, Antonio Colosimo, August Wojtula, Delfie Quarin, Eric Lutzke, Eugene Lucky, Guy Venzi, Hugh Hopley, John Brenner, Michael Bryan, Ronald Frenz, Samuel Tolley, Wladuslaw "Walter" Gibalski, Walter Parker, William Cytko, Willie DeLorme
All of these men except for Antonio Colosimo, were killed in the Balmer North Mine Explosion.
This page is also to commemorate men like my father, who went to work every day and returned home again, leaving part of their souls in the mine. As the daughter of a coal miner, I know the fear that families lived with daily as the men left home for work. We could never feel sure of their returning home again. The list of men who did not return shows the fear was well founded. I remember many early morning calls coming in 1, 2 in the morning and my momma crying. I was little at the time, and was really scared to ask what happen. I did not want to hear that something happen to my daddy. It was always scary, and I always learned and was commited to making sure every night before he closed the door behind him. That I told him that I loved him, and I huged him and said daddy you be careful. Because I never knew if I was going to see him again when morning came.
The men knew that at any moment their life might be in the hands of their fellow miners. Men have been trapped for hours or days with the knowledge that their only hope was that the men they worked with would dig them out. This required that they have a great deal of trust for each other.
Although all the miners worked hard in dangerous conditions, they had some fun too. After work, they would often talk of the pranks that they played on each in the mine. They developed a camaraderie that is hard to describe, and most of them would not have wanted to work at anything else. Like my mother baking choc.fudge for the men, and my dad knowing what was in that fudge. Yeah, stuff to make you have the pooops lol..Dad would kill his self laughing telling us the next morning about them men eating that fudge then going miles into the mine and crap on themselves. Funny stuff..

Answer
Shelbty is the most powerful factory-built Mustang ever, the Shelby GT500, designed by the Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) in collaboration with legendary performance guru Carroll Shelby. Under the hood is a supercharged and intercooled, 32-valve 5.4L V-8 kicking out 500 horsepower.Forty years after the first Shelby GT500 was produced, performance legend Carroll Shelby and the Ford Mustang have been powerfully reunited with the introduction of the 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 â the most powerful factory Mustang ever. The result of an alliance between Shelby and the Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT), the GT500 returns to the streets as a thoroughly modern successor to the famous Shelby GT500 of the late 1960s.
Featuring a 500-horsepower supercharged 5.4-liter 32-valve V-8 with a 6-speed manual transmission, race-tuned suspension and four-piston Brembo brakes, the new GT500 packs a heavy dose of pure American muscle to back up its aggressive looks. Its unique front-end design, bulging hood with heat extractors, rear spoiler, and unmistakable Le Mans racing stripes tells the world this is not your typical Mustang. To mark the melding of Mustang performance icons, the GT500 also features Shelby, Cobra and SVT badging.
Like the original, the GT500 will be available both as a coupe and as a convertible when it goes on sale in the summer of 2006 â both versions delivering the kind of broad torque curve that had won the big-block Shelby acclaim as king of the road. Â Inside, the locations of the speedometer and the tachometer are swapped to provide performance-oriented drivers with a better view of shift points while changing gears. And front seats have received additional lateral support to help keep the driver optimally positioned during cornering. In a touch also borrowed from the GT500âs past, cornering. In a touch also borrowed from the GT500âs past, no Le Mans stripes will be seen on the 2007 GT500 convertible. However, the Shelby droptop will sport a cloth top similar to those found on pricier convertibles.
Shelby first put his name on a Mustang back in 1964 when he was asked to inject some high performance into Ford's brand-new pony car. The result was the GT350R, a lightweight, handling-focused race car that earned Mustang its first track performance credentials. Subsequent Ford Shelby Mustangs included a street version of the race car, the GT350, and what was known as the ârent-a-racerâ Mustang, the GT350H, a joint project with the Hertz rental car corporation.
The ultimate Ford Shelby Mustang of the era was the GT500 and GT500 KR, or âKing of the Road.â Powered by a big block 428-cubic-inch âCobra Jetâ V-8, the GT500 was one of the most powerful and memorable muscle cars of that period. Ford Shelby Mustangs were sold from 1965 through 1970, with a total production run of 14,559 units.
The Ford Special Vehicle Team brought high performance back to Mustang in 1993. After 12 years in the market, with nearly 80,000 high-performance SVT Mustang Cobras on the streets and total SVT vehicle production nearing 145,000, SVT is primed for growth with the GT500 serving as the foundation for other performance Mustang projects. The 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 will be built at the Ford-Mazda joint venture plant, AutoAlliance International, in Flat Rock, Mich.
With the look and legend one would expect from Shelby and the kind of power and performance enthusiasts have come to expect from SVT, the GT500 points to a brand-new era in Fordâs performance future. From the Ford GT supercar, to the Shelby GT500 and performance packs available directly from  the Ford Racing Performance Parts program, performance and racing are poised to drive innovation and continue to add luster to Fordâs proud brand heritage.
