BIG CREEK –– To celebrate its centennial anniversary, Central Mine Rescue is honoring the memory of a local miner, Blaik Nutting, who died in a mining accident earlier this year.
In collaboration with Sunshine Mine staff and several local businesses, CMR has successfully raised a substantial sum over a five-month period to support Nutting's family. While much of the funds were collected through various donations and fundraisers, the bulk of the proceeds came from the sale of commemorative silver coins.
