PM: Recalling Sunshine Mine Disaster

“I lost a few friends in that disaster,” said Jim Campbell, center, of Kellogg after turning out the headlamps that signified each of the 91 miners killed in the Sunshine Mine Disaster in 1972. Campbell has been a miner at Sunshine Mine since 1975. A memorial service for the 40th anniversary of the mining accident was held at the miners memorial in Big Creek, near Kellogg earlier today.
