Here is a podcast with a couple of ladies talking about living at the mine back in the 30's and 40's.

This is the place I spent a couple of years at in the mountains. The history of the area and the miners fascinate me.

Yes, that is a song about being a miners daughter.

Did you mean the ones that did the clean up project?
Not sure if I posted about this-but a while back there was a 92 year old on the boat who had been at the mine and was the person who filled out the last assay report at the mine.
I also just finished a book about a man who was a trapper in the same area in the 50's and later and ran a resort. He was a cranky bastard, but left an impression on several people.
