He was to be given 2 free lots in Calgary, on 7th ave, near 1st E. but an article in June 1909, states he sold the 25 ft lot for $18,000, and it was on 8 Ave. Across from the Post Office. Imagine the cost of this lot today. He was one of the honoured guests at the first Calgary Stampede in 1912. He became a business man in Everett Washington Costello Mine, 4km east of Estevan was named after this man. Located at Township 2, Range 7, W2 1983 the Costello Mine was owned by Manalta Coal which was owned by the Mannix Family . ca 1982 they invested 25 million on the dragline alone. I believe this mine was the Klimax Mine before it became the Costello Mine. Roche Percee Coal Miners Union represented the workers in the early 1980's President Lorne Wagner.
