Chief Point Of Towns In
come and Stability.

Since the first settlement, which
was made in 1879, Crested Butte
has experienced the usual cups
and downs" that invariably hap
pen to all towns whose lot it is to
live through the developments of a
new country.
From mere rendezvous for the
prospectors who came to seek their
fortunes in the surrounding noun
tains, it has grown to a fair sized
town with permanent population
of | 900 which is increased to 200
during the summer months.
In the language of the real es-
tate people the town has in time
past 90 'boomed, burnt and busted" ="
but always lifting herself from the
ENHANCEMENT of adversely, has es-
lablished reputation for stability,
progressiveness and uniformity of
business throughout the year, of
which any town might well be
proud.
Excepting the advantage derived
as a point for supplies necessary in
operating the quartz mines in the
adjoining country, the town has
depended almost exclusively on the
coal mining industry for its main
tenance.
That this industry is yet in its
infancy and that still greater re-
suits may be expected, is a fact
made evident by the vast. improve
ments that are being made in all
branches of business.
The extent of the coal deposits
in this district, after having been
worked for a number of years, are
as vet a mere matter of conjecture.
For variety and diversified produc-
ton this district certainly excells
that of any other in the Larimie
coal beds, Standing in the streets
of Crested Butte one can view the
location of three veins, producing
anthracite, semi-anthracite and
soft, or bituminous coal; while the
&uby mine, situated on the Ruby
branch of the d. & r. G., also
produces a fine quality of hard
coal.
The Crested Butte mines, upon
which the "weal or woe" of the
town was hinged for many years,
was first opened in 1882, and since
that time there has been three diff
ferent extensions of the plans of
operating the mine. The output
at present is 25,000 tons per month
and when the fact is known that
preparations are being hastily
made to double the capacity of
production, one can easily appre-
ciate the value of this great prop
erty to the community in which it
is situated.
The Colorado Fuel & Iron COM
pany, which controls the local coal
trade, is paying each year nearly
ONE-HN MILLION DOLLARS to Its
employees, who reside here perma-
nently-which fact accounts fo1
the success of those who have en-
gagged in the mercantile business at
this place. The fact that this
mine alone will be source OF
great benefit to the country as well

liquor out it is their right to do 1t; aud
If they want q dispensary or bar rooms,
this, also, is their right. The idea Is TO
keep the money at home in oommuni-

lair and simple, but somehow to Q be-
lever in the present liquor laws of the
State, the bill looks q ''lestle" SUI pi-

provides that the regist alton Of only
one tenth of the voters is necessary to
