New Colliery At Hillcrest Opens In Alberta
Hillcrest April 6 A large new colliery the seventh in Alberta’s Crows Nest Pass region is now being developed just east of Hillcrest by Hullcrest Mohawk Collieries. The plant aims to produce about 1200 tons monthly and employ around 60 workers now with plans to reach 150 next year. Development began August 1944 with $250000 spent to date and $200000 more planned in 1946 for plant equipment and development. Two coal seams nine and ten feet thick are mined at about 300 tons daily. The company could hire 1000 more workers if available. This marks the first producer here since the old Hillcrest mine closed in 1940 after 1904 production.
