The Coronado Mine was the site of bloody fighting during the miners' strike of 1896. Miners were striking to raise wages from $2.50 a day (set during the Silver Panic of 1893) to $3.00 a day. The strike closed 90% of the mines. Three men were killed during the Coronado violence. One of them, Jerry O'Keefe, a Leadville fireman, was shot by the strikers. The strike ended March 9, 1897. Many of the mines, which had suffered water damage during the strike, never reopened. References:  Save Outdoor Sculpture, Colorado survey, 1994. Illustration:  Image on file.
