Carswell Mining Complex
Mining at Carswell a mile north of Kimball, started in May 1914 and continued until the complex closed in 1965. The mines had a history of fatal accidents that resulted in the deaths of 65 men. Explosions at the Vivian (1916), Kimball (1919) & Carswell (1941) mines claimed 23 lives. The mine complex was later abandoned, but the site has been reclaimed.
