The Denver Z Rio Grande railroad
ran to Coal Creek for a number OF
years before any attempt was made to
entend its line further up the valley
and a stage was run from here to lie
Bran, or what Is now Florence, where
people boarded the train for Denver
and other points. There was a big de-
mand for coal even those days and 1t
made brisk times at Coal Creek. There
are several who now reside in Canon
City who worked there in the golden
age of its prosperity and they made
big wages in the mines, sometimes as
much as three hundred dollars a
month. Among those may be men
toned Joe Walton, who was one of
the pioneer coal miners OF Fremont
county. Charlie Swanson. D. H. Hous-
SO worked there at q subsequent date.
1t was from Coal Creek that the
famous Canon" coal got it's name.
Canon City was the only town In the
county at that time, except Coal Creek.
and the product OF its mine was called
