CRESTED BUTTE.

lie uluiuS camp VI OiCoeCo
Butte does not take precedence
over the different camps of the
Elk Mt. district because of its posi-
ton as a supply center, nor by rea-
son of its having been the first
settlement in the northern part of
Gunnison county. But since the
first opening was made in the enor-
nous coal-beds that lie in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the town there
has never been an idle day. For
twenty years through sunshine and
storm the little hamlet that nestled
among the lofty peaks has strug-
gled along, sometimes in sorrow
and sometimes in woe. Nearly
swept from off the earth three diff
ferent times by fire, it has always
lifted itself from out the gloom of
misfortune and built again on the
ruins of the past. Towns were
built and camps were struck in the
surrounding locality that grew up
and flourished for day, but the
town of Crested Butte has kept on
in the even tenor of its way and is
today the most prosperous town in
Gunnison county. On the coal
mining industry has hinged the
wealth or woe of the camp. The
great mine operated by the G. F.
& 1. Co., that lies just south of the
town is of sufficient magnitude to
insure the prosperity of the camp
for many years to come. With an
average daily output of 800 tons,
which will be increased in a few
months to nearly double that
amount, one can easily understand
why the business interests of the
town are in the present healthy
condition. Nearly 400 men are
employed at this mine and in the
neigborhood of one-half million
dollars is paid out annually in
wages. One hundred and fifty
four coke ovens are Charged daily
from the product of the mine and
from which an excellent quality of
coke is produced. Tributary to
the town are the coal camps of An
thracite and Ruby. The mines at
the last named places produce a
high grade Anthracite coal, which
is said to contain from so to 80 per
cent carbon. Semi-anthracite is
mined two miles north of town and
supplies the local demand for
domestic purposes. There are no
stories to tell of fabulous riches
that might have been made in this
camp, but for those who have been
economically inclined, steady en-
ployment, and substantial homes
have been their reward.
RANCHING AND STOCK RAISING.
Nearly all the public lands in
the vicinity of town have recently
been pre-empted and are being
rapidly improved. A number of
good homes now dot the landscape,
and the soil being rich, many pro-
ducts, and especially timothy hay,
are raised in great quantities. This
neighborhood is an admirable graz
ing country, producing an abund-
ance of nutritious grasses, and in
the summer thousands of head of
cattle, horses and sheep range here.
NUMBERING INTERESTS.
This has become a business of
no small proportions. During the
summer about seventy-fve carloads
of tirst-class lumber were sawed
and marketed from this point.
SCHOOLS.
The public school buildings of
Crested Butte are substantial and
commodious. The average daily
attendance is about 150, and the
system is progressive and we'll
maintained. The faculty at present
consists of G. S. Strickler, princi-
pal; Miss May Clonch, intermediate
department; and Miss Josie Miner,

CHURCHES.
Contributed by E. L. N.

Oh RCHES.
The town has three churches in
which services are held regularly,
namely: Union Congregational,
Catholic and Methodist Episcopal.
Rev. j. l.. Read is resident pastor
for the first, Rev. Father Dilly of
Gunnison cares for the second, and
Rev. R. R. Adams of Gunnison
conducts services at the latter.
BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS.
In the first place it would be well
to take notice of the difference in
the material used for building pur-
poses, and the tendency to make
the buildings of more permanent
character. There being a fine
quality of building stone in the
vicinity, fire walls and storage de-
partments have became the order
of the day. Corrugated iron is be-
ing freely used for roofing mater
ial, thereby reducing to a mini
mum the danger of fires spreading.
The mercantile establishments of
Crested Butte would do credit to a
town of 5000 inhabitants, both in
point of arrangements and amount
of business transacted.
BUSINESS INTERESTS.
To give the reader a better idea
of the vast improvements going on
in Crested Butte, individual notice(
will be taken of the many business
interests.
WATER AND ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
This company furnishes excel
lent water service and electric light
ing. The electric plant at present
has capacity of 500 incandescent
lights, supplying illumination for
all purposes. The demand for
more lights will probably occasion
an early enlargement of the light
capacity. In both branches the
company has in operation only the
best system and machinery. The
officers are: G. w. Badgley, presi-
dent; O. I. Lawrence, local secre-
tary and G.. w. Thompson, super
intendent.
CLICK BROTHERS.
This is one of the oldest bust
ness establishments, and is certain
ly one of the most successful.
Those gentlemen having linked
themselves to the fortunes of the
town, have reflected great credit
upon the community, as indicating
the growth and stability of it's var
ious enterprises. A full line of
first-class merchandise is kept con-
stantly on hand.
ROTH & CLICK.
This is certainly one of the most
attractive and up-to-date stores in
Gunnison county. Though the
business is yet young, the liberal
management and metropolitan
style of display has made the in
vestment an assured success,
COLORADO SUPPLY co.
This is very progressive and
certainly the largest mercantile
concern in the county. The sue
cess of this substantial business
house is no doubt due to the hon
est and fair dealings of the capa-
BILE manager, w. L. Patchen.
J. S. oLNEY.
This is the only house in town
confined strictly to gents furnish
ings. Mr.. Olney also holds the
position as postmaster, and is an
honorable and obliging gentleman
in his dealings with the public.
G. L. MILLER.
Mr.. Miller conducts very ex-
tensive business, carrying an excel
lent line of stoves, furniture, crock
cry and queensware. In addition
Mr.. Miller also maintains an under
taking establishment in conjunc-
ton with his other business.
