	Springhill mining disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Springhill mining disaster is the term often used to refer to three separate Canadian mining disasters which occurred in 1891, 1956, and 1958 in different mines within the Springhill coal field, in close proximity to the town of Springhill in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia.
		The mines in the Springhill Coal Field were established in the 19th century and by the early 1880s were being worked by the Cumberland Coal and Railway Company and the Springhill and Parrsboro Coal and Railway Company.
		The scale of the disaster was unprecedented in Nova Scotian or Canadian mining history and the subsequent relief funds saw contributions from across the country and the British Empire, including Her Majesty Queen Victoria.

	Springhill, Nova Scotia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Springhill is a small Canadian town in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia.
		The town is also infamous for its coal mines which operated from the 1870s-1958, which were the sites of three devastating mining disasters, the last of which resulted in the permanent closed all mining in the region.
		Beginning in the late 1980s, this heat source has been exploited by companies located in Springhill's industrial park, situated on the land where the surface facilities of the coal mines were located, reducing winter heating bills substantially.

		So it was with the coal miners of Springhill, Nova Scotia, when disaster came, not for the first time, on Oct. 23, 1958.
		It sat on an "underground palace of coal," the finest soft coal in Canada, and its No. 2 slope was the deepest coal mine in the world.

		Flooded former coal mines of Springhill, Nova Scotia, contain about 4,000,000 m{sup 3} of water which circulates by convection and may be recovered at the surface at a temperature of about 18 C. The heat in the water is derived from the normal heat of the rocks, and the contribution from chemical heating is negligible.
		Water is pumped from the mines to act as the primary input to heat pumps for heating and cooling industrial buildings.
		In the Springhill systems, heat pumps provide summer cooling as well as winter heating, and total costs of geothermal heating are substantially lower than heating by fuel oil in eastern Canada.
