“commemorating those who died”
“A 15-foot steel sculpture of a hard rock miner standard at the foot of Big Creek Canyon just outside Kellogg, Idaho. The statue commemorates the 91 men who died in an underground fire at the Sunshine Mine. On May 2, 1972, a fire broke out underground at the "Sunshine." Before the day was through, 91 miners had lost their lives. The event is remembered each May 2nd with a service at the statue.”
This statue is at the Historic Wallace exit off I90 in Wallace, ID. There is a small park dedicated to both mining and the devastating Bitteroot Mountain fire of 1910.
