Title
Carbonado Coal Mine, 1896; Carbonado, Iowa; Mahaska County
Description
This is a photograph of the Carbonado Coal Mine in 1896. Carbonado, like so many other communities in Mahaska County, virtually disappeared overnight when the coal mining industry dissipated in the county. Coal mining employees went elsewhere to find work to support their families. This is what shaft #1 looked like at Carbonado.
