Albuquerque & Cerrillos Coal Company

The Albuquerque & Cerrillos Coal Company (A&CCC) managed a coal mining operation in the area east of the Sandia Mountains where they established the company town of Madrid, N.M. in southern Santa Fe County between 1906 and 1954. The Santa Fe Railroad leased the coal lands and associated mines between 1880 to 1896. In 1896, they relinquished their lease rights to the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, who operated the mines until 1906 when George Kaseman, an Albuquerque businessman, assumed their mining lease. Kaseman subsequently employed Oscar Huber as his general mine foreman to oversee the daily operations of the mines in Madrid until Kaseman's death in 1938. At this time, Huber leased the property from the Kaseman estate and Santa Fe Railroad until his outright purchase of the coal lands and the town of Madrid, in 1947. The A&CCC ceased to operate in 1954.
