photograph: Miners at Albert Mines, Hillsborough, Albert County, New Brunswick, c. 1870. Collection of the New Brunswick Museum (X11628). The bitumen called albertite created the mining community of Albert Mines. In the 1870s it was a busy community with mine shafts, a church, and houses for employees. Today all that remains are crumbling foundations.
