euNNIS0N STATE
NORMAL ATTACKED

The proposition to close the Gun
nison State Normal school for the
benefit of the old Greely Institution
is Aie most absurd, unjust and
selfish moves ever attempted by any
investigating committee ever appoin-
ted to examine into the conditions
of the public institutions of the
state.
1t goes without question that this
committee is preiudiccd against the
western slope section OF Colorado and
would take away what little they
have succeeded in obtaining by hard
fighting We're it pos sible to do so.
1t is believed that IL jealousy has
sprung up among the supporters of
the old Greeley institution over the

Tho Augusta mining company are
planning to open up their big tun-
mel and do some further development
there before the final decision of
mill building IS acted upon. This
mine is in position to go into large
orc production at a small additional
expense as the lower tunnel has OPP
cned the vein toa depth of over a
thousand feet below its apex on top
Of the mountain and will give the
mine eight hundred feet Of ore stop

the old workings The Augusta mine

bclon ged to 'Yank Baxter" the so
called .'millionairc of Poverty gulch
It is expected that arrangements
will be made to operate this property
the coming summer through the
Yankee Blade tunnel which wa =
driven on purpose to open up the
old Excelsior workings but was not
extended far nough to reach the
big ore shutc of this vein.
1t is anticipated that soon after
the advent OF broad gauge railway
here ,.thc c. r. &; l. Co. will begin
shipment of iron ore from
their big deposit situated along the
FlOresta spur three miles above town
there are many thousand tons Of
this ore that may bc loaded by steam,

BRILLIANT PROSPECTS
OF CRESTED BUTTE
FOR ANOTHER YEAR

NoU IOl many JChio i'oS SiiStS
been a brighter outlook for the town
of Crested Butte, than is now in
dicated for the com ing year. The
principal reason for this may. be cited
in the positive assurance o. the stand
ard gauging of the railway from
here to Salida and Montrose which
will give us an outlet for the prod.
uct Of our coal mines over the Hnoun'
tains and across the plains of Kan
sas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and oil
eastward to the Missippi valley, 1t
will also make an opening whereby
the anthracite, coke and steam coal
from our mines here may be deliv.
cred to every city, town, berg or
hamlce across the trecless deserts
living between here and the Pacific
coast. For more than thirty years
has this town been handicapped with
IL little narrow gauge railway line
that has made prohibitivc our
coal shipment outside of the limited
territory covered by this little mar
row gauge railroad system.
With the roadbed widened and
the tracks made standard gauge from
Crested Butte to Montroee the way
will be opened for US to distribute
our coal products over twenty times
the territory now available, nothing
will be transferred until the de4ti-
nation is reached whether it be to
st. Louis, San Francisco or Chicago.
Tire san,e condition will xpp1y
to the product - oum.Aal -xsisss,
the ores when loaded on tho oars
will go direct to the smcltcrs or rcfi-
neries without transfer or delay un-
till final destination is reached. The
agricultural products arc rapidly
increasing from year to year az also
is the stock raising business all will
have broad gauge cars to load in
and no deferred transportation on
account of cattle or other stock
transfer ut Salida or Montrose. II
is confidently belivcd that another
year will see double the tonnage of
coal loaded out from Crested Butte
that is now being hauled, and this
being the case it will require, twice
the number of miners to dig the
coal, merchants will have their bus
incss doubled, more resident build
ings required to house the influx of
families, our school buildings will
be filled to capacity and more teach
crs needed for the increased number
of pupils.
The outlook for metal mining
has not been more hopeful since the
beginning of this century Of 1900,
The price of all the commercial met
ais is steadily increasing and some
of the rare metals are hcing found
in this vscinity whose values are up
in the pictures on account of there
scarcity. The present year will sec
many Of the old abadoned mines in
this section resume operations, more
notable the Forest Queen an Ruby

record as ore produc crs are not equ-

them.
The new owner of these properties
is a practical and successful mining
operator, who will open these old

Colorado Springs
Hat Pin Ordinance
Is Now in Force

Very much excited are the ladies in
Colorado Springs over the new ordi-
nance. which passed the city council
on final reading last week, making it
a misdemeanor for any lady to wear
a hat from which the point of the hat
pin protrudes to exceed one-half
inch. The penalty for disregarding
or disobeying the ordinance is $50.
No such ordinance is in effect here,
and ladies' wear their bonnet with
daggers protruding from 3 to 6
inches in all directions. The pro-
posed remedy for the evil is to have
hat pins with threads on the sharp
end. permitting the scerwing on of a
ball-shaped cap as guard which will
make the pins practically harmless.

PRODUCTION OF COPPER IN 1912
Output Largest in the History Of the
Industry.

StatiSt les and estimates received by
the United States geological survey
from all plants NOV to produce
blister copper from domestic ores and
from all lake mines indicate that the
1912 exceeds that Of any previous year
in the history Of the industry. Not
only is the total output the largest
ever recorded, but six of the large cop
per-prOducing States-AriZOna, Michi-
gan, Utah. Nevada, New Mexico. and
Alaska-haNe each exceeded all for
mer records Of production, while Mon
tana and Tennessee have nearly
eQualed their previous record produce
tiOnS.
The figures showing smelter produc-
ton from domestic ores. which have
been collected by b. S. Butler, of the
geological survey. represent the ac-
tual production of most of the COM
panieS for eleven months and an esti-
mate of the December output. The
November figures for a few compa-
MES We're not available and these
companies furnished estimates for the
last two months Of the year. Accord
ing to the statistics and estimates re-
ceived, the output Of blister and lake
! copper was 1,249,000 900 pounds in
1912, against 1,091,232.149 pounds in
1911.
AT an average price OF about Is
cents a pound the 1912 out put has a
value of nearly $500. 600. 600, against
