Professor Flaheriy
Leaves Our Schools

Prof. j. J rlalierty, who has so
ably superintendent our school for
the past two years, has resigned,
and in company with his brother
who arrived Wednesday, returned
to his home in Illinois to rccuperate
his health. He has been in poor
health for some time and last Sun
day evening was taken with n severe
attack of nervousness which required
the attention of a physician.
Mr.. Flaherty is 4 very fine man,
thoroughly capable, and Crested
Butte citizens are extremely sorry
to loose him. They sincerely hope
to hear of his immediate improve
ment and ultimate recovery.
Prof. Flaherty had previously ask
a release from his position, thoroly
realizing that his health demanded
a change, but the board prevailed
upon him to remain until suitable
man could be found for the place.
The existing unrully condition of
the school was also very trying, and
the intentional rudeness on the part
of some of his pupils, who We're
prone to take advantage of the fact
that he was sick man, no doubt
had much to do with his sudden
serious illness.
Prof. J. F. NJ. Duehren, who ar
rived "Wednesday from Columbus,
Ohio, to fill the vacancy, comes
very highly recommended and will
at once assume his duties as head OF
the city schools. He will take hold
with firm hand, and will demand
good work and integrity and high
standard of discipline from each and
every pupil. In this he will be
firmly upheld by the school board
and, we hope, Loyalty supported by
every parent in Crested Butte.

What the Strike Means

Without discussing the merits Of
the coal strike one way or the other,
it is safe to say it is a h ardship on
the entire country, says the Salida
Record. The men, themselves, are
the greatest su(feres, and the own
ers Of the mine are the ones effected
the least. The general public must
suffer by paying ain increased price
or coal. Besides the thousands OF
miners who are voluntary out OF
work there are perhaps 1000 steel
workers and 800 railroad men
who are taking forced and unwill-
ing vacation. These strikes are
disastrous and it seems the only
way to avoid them is for the govern
ment to adiustnll differences between

Plenty of Lead Ores
in this Section

Howard Marshal, who is looking
after ore shipments from the Star
and Independence mines in the Ital-
ian mountain mining district, was
in the city Monday. He reports a
large increase of ore production from
the new Independence shaft and that
four to six more four-horse teams
will be put on at once hauling ore
from the mine to the railroad. He
also states that it is the intention to
keep ore moving during the entire
winter which is really the best time
To handle it, rs larger loads may be
put on sleds than on wagons.
The ores from Italian mountain,
being composed principally of lead
and lime carbonates, are self-huxing
and consequently very desircable to
the smelters. For this reason there
should be no treatment charges on
them. In many mining districts of
the state that produce siliceous or
non-huXing ores, the production has
been cut down from one-half to two
thirds lately for the reason that the
smelters have not sufficient lead ores
coming in to enable them to flux OF
smelt but a small proportion OF the
complex, non-smelting ores pro-
,,luced. Many of the mines OF the
Elk Mountain district are princi-
paily lead producing and the de-
mand for lead ores should furnish a
great stimulous for them to go into
larger ore production another season.

the thousands of dollars he needs
so badly and other industries would

a big corporation after a strike,

among their families, is taken from
the people and not from the corpora

owners have already raised the price
of coal 81 per ton. This will pay
