Cumberland, Wyoming - a photo on Flickriver

            Ziller's Saloon and a cemetery are all that is left of the coal mining towns of Cumberland #1 and Cumberland #2.  The Union Pacific Coal Company mines opened in 1900 and produced a million and a half tons of coal in 1905 from shafts 2000 feet deep.  The towns closed in 1927 and 1930.  The buildings behind the saloon are an operating ranch.

My dentist comes from a ranching family with land in Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah.  He told me that as a child he was often given candy by a lady in charge of "hospitality" at this saloon.  Unless he is telling a tall tale, that would mean the facility was in business a long time after the Cumberland mines closed.
