New Royal Gorge Coal Mine and Carnegie Library Dedication
A quiet Canon City initiative unveils the Royal Gorge Coal Mining Company on the Thomas Price property with rich coal seams and plans to market locally. The Florence and Canon City Electric Railway project secures New York capital and a power tract, while Carnegie library building is formally dedicated with Mayor Peabody presiding and a public reception to follow. The Canon City Public Library hosts about four thousand volumes with new additions and will open after cataloguing and classification are completed.
