Description |
Colour slide of a group of six people, including Roger Terhune and Bob Lukkar, posed for a photograph outside the Black Bear Mine Adit at the Rossland Historical Museum. The group is posed in the entrance of the mine tunnel, the majority of them in a single row, with Roger standing slightly behind the rest. Everyone but Roger Terhune is wearing white hard hats, the men on other side of Roger having lights on them. The woman on the left has a camera slung over her shoulder and the woman on the right has an electronic device around her neck. The heavily timbered mine entrance is behind the group with several signs spaced throughout. Large piles of timbers are in the foreground on either side of a set of rails in the centre of the scene. Photographed L-R: Crystal, Bob, unknown, Roger Terhune, Bob Lukkar, Kharen. |

Provenance |
The Rossland Historical Museum and Archives Association was founded by the Rossland Rotary Club in 1954, with a museum being established in the basement of the Rossland Court House. The Museum was incorporated under the BC Societies Act in 1955. The present museum (1100 HWY 3B) was built as a Canadian Centennial project on the site of the historic Black Bear Mine. As part of the Rossland Museum's Centennial Project, the Black Bear Mine Adit was reopened to be part of the Museum's tourism offerings. The Museum ran seasonal mine tours from 1967/68 until 2009 when the mine was closed. The tunnel entrance was collapse in 2011/2012. Visitors to the Museum are still able to see where the entrance was, although it is fenced off for safety reasons. |
