Kerr-Addison Gold Mines, Ontario : Panoramic Photo of Hardrock Miners.

Kerr-Addison Gold Mines, Ontario : Panoramic Photo of Hardrock Miners

The first gold brick was poured at Kerr-Addison on June 11, 1938, so this photo can't be earlier than the spring of that year, and may be as late as mid-1940's. David Yorke tells me he bought this photo many years ago in an estate sale in Vancouver, but that's all he remembers.
The men identified so far: The ghostly face at the window, 3rd from right, is Clyde Furlong, who worked in the mill. Below the right side of that window, in the back row, the man with the moustache is George Oehring.
Can you identify anyone else?
