1908-1916 Third Sibley Breaker

The two above photos of the Sibley are from different sides. The top 1886, from the right or west, the bottom 1906, from the left or east. The breaker was three times built on the same foundation. This gives a unique, never seen view of coal region structures, that are over 100 years old. Can you spot the men in the windows of the 1886 top photo?

PHOTO BY JOHN ANGELI AFTER THE KNOX MINE FLOOD

   In this photo, the miners are in front of the Knox Mine Slope. They have just returned to the surface. They were searching for the bodies of the miners killed in the flood. The hole in the river has been sealed and the mine pumped out enough to allow search a search team in. From left; first is Fred Costanzi, second is Steve Brek, third is John Angeli, Old Forge. If anyone knows the names of the other miners contact us, and we will add their names here also.
