Period: Unknown
Canada: The Stellarton 's largest mine :The Allan Shaft" opened in 1904 with another attempt at reaching the rich coal seams below. It was with caution, in 1926, that the Acadia Coal Company broke through to the older workings of the Cage and Foord Pits which were closed earlier due to explosions, fires and floods. The remians of nine miners were removed then, five more in 1942 and fifteen again in 1943, a result of the disastrous 1880 explosion which took forty-four lives. In all.....48 major fires and more than a dozen explosions plagued Pictou County miners from 1827 through 1952. The shaft experienced four of these explosions in 1914, 1918, 1924 and 1935 and finally was forced to close in 1951.
Function: A print depicting "The AllanShaft" in Stellarton, N. S. (1926).
