These photographs have been reduced in size to about 1 1/2 inch x 1 inch to save space on the server and thus making it possible to add even more photographs for each area. If you see a photograph here that you would like a larger picture of e-mail Kathy Hamaker. I'd be happy to e-mail you the photo file so you can print it out on your computer. If you have any photographs in your possession that you would like to donate I'd be happy to add them also. Thank you for your help.

The Castle Gate rock before highway construction. The famous Castle Gate Rock formation is part of the Carbon County heritage. From up the canyon the gate formation seemed to open as it was neared. The rock formation on the right is now gone. The widening of the canyon road resulted in its being destroyed. Photo donated by Frances Cunningham. | ||

This picture of the Castle Gate was scanned from a one cent postcard. On the back of the card it says: "Guarding the entrance of Price River Canon, Utah, stands Castle Gate, similar in many respects to the Gateway of the Garden of the God. Two huge pillars of rock composing it are continuations of spurs of the Cliffs behind. One measures 500 feet and the other 450 feet from base to top. Card was published by Van Noy Interstate Co., Salt Lake City. | ||

This is a photograph of one of the fireplace mantles that was in the Castle Gate hospital. The photograph and the following information was donated by Larry Basinger. "My interest in pictures of the fireplace mantles is because I own one of the two that were originally in the hospital. There were two fireplaces in the hospital, one upstairs and one downstairs. The one downstairs was painted lime green just like the walls while the one upstairs was left with the original finish. When they sold the items out of the hospital my family purchased them (early 70's). I have the one from the second floor on my wall and that is why I was interested in a picture of it in its original setting." If you have an original photograph of the mantles in the hospital please contact Larry Basinger. | ||

He died three days before the 1924 mine explosion, apparently from poisoning. He was the brother of Mike Francis (Emmanuel Frageskakis), who later owned the Maple Creek Mine.

It was the first major coal camp in our area and began shipping coal in 1888. (Discription and photo scanned from historical calendar created by Carbon County.) |
