Thirteen miners stand in front of the entrance to Blue Canyon Mine

Sign over entrance reads: "NO ADMITTANCE--All persons not employees are forbidden to enter this mine except upon written permit from the general office and with a guide -- Blue Canyon Coal Mining Co." A second sign to the right of the first reads "March 19th 1896 -- Gas in 16 other places OK --RC." Blue Canyon Coal Mine, at the southeast end of Lake Whatcom, operated from 1892 until 1920.
