F.A. McKINNEY'S

Creede and Mineral County

Directory

1913-1914

    Mining town of nearly 1,000 population, sixty-nine miles west of Alamosa, at the end of the broad guage line of the D. & R.G.R.R. and on the Rio Grande del Norte.  It is the county seat of Mineral county.  It has a bank, a weekly newspaper, good business houses and three good hotels.  It has lately changed from a "candle light" town to an electric lighted city, and probably Harry Baker will change the name of his newspaper from "Creede Candle" to "The Mazda Lamp."  There is an Elks' lodge with a large membership here, and there are a number of other fraternal orders here.  There is some ranching in the country around here, but the principal industry is mining.  Some twenty years ago, before the price of silver hit the bottom, Creede was a typical western mining camp, as rough and tough as any of them, but at the present time it is as law-abiding as any country town in the East.  The saloons are closed on Sunday.  The finest fishing in the world can be found in the Rio Grande near here.  Altitude about 9,000 feet.
