1t has been nearly thirty years
since the fifteenth amendment
which is the last, was added to the
Constitution. The number of
Constitutional amendments which
have been proposed since Congress
met indicates belief on the part
of numerous gentlemen that the
time is ripe for further amendment.
About forty resolutions providing
for amendments have already been
introduced, more than half of which
are for the same purpose-the pro-
hibition of polygamy. Others re-
late to marriage and divorce laws,
the prohibition of the use of public
funds for sectarian institutions,
imposing d national income tax, q

LOCAL ACHIEVEMENTS DUR
ING THE YEAR 1900.

The local achievements of 1895
have been great and in nearly
every department of the towns
growth notable progress has been
made. The population of the
vicinage has increased, our bust
ness has developed, our industries
have been expanded, our promi-
nence as mining center has been
made more manifest than ever be-
fore, public enterprise and private
energy have contributed in many
diversified ways to make the year
a notable one in the history of our
community, and it may be truth
fully said that Crested Butte has
never enjoyed more prosperous
or more progressive year than
the one that has Just closed.
But all these things, important
as they are and as pleasing to the
contemplation of everyone inter
ested in our town, are overshadow-
ed by the glow that is cast by the
bright prospects of the year that
is coming. AT no time in the
twenty years of our existence has
there ever been any prospect of
such abundant prosperity and
manifold development as that
which everything seems to promise
us for the year 1900. Unless
everyone in Crested Butte is mis-
taken, and unless all signs fail,
Crested Butte will experience in
the coming year growth that will
be phenomenal aud development
of resources and business whose
limitations can only be guessed at.
We may profitably neglect for
once the history of our town, in
teresting as it is, we may devote to
our climate and our unparalleled
advantages as r health and pleas
ure resort less than the attention
and space that they deserve, we
may even consider the events of
the past year, striking as they
have been, to be of secondary i'm
portance, and devote our main
thought and attention to setting
forth Crested Butte in its activity
and enterprise of today, and the
promises of the immediate future
incidentally, however, we might
call attention to the adjacent min
ing district, increasing in produc-
lion and in uncovered stores of
wealth beyond any limits yet drawn; ;
to the increased production of the
local mines operated by the Colo.
Fuel & Iron company, which en-
terprise is the mainstay of the
city; to the fact that the business
of the postosice for the last quarter
shows an increase over any quarter
III seven years past, and probably
since the Office was reduced to the
fourth-class rank; to the number
of homesteads that have been TAX
en- up III the immediate vicinage
and improved; to the extraordinary
number of claims patented, and to
the increased number of assess
ments worked during the past
year. We could 90 along in this
strain for q column more and only
recfte events which have been for
the betterment of the community,
but it is unnecessary to recount
them, they are apparent for them
selves.
