Sam Ethridge went out to Oxford
this morning with Ed Howell, who is
to be placed in charge of the 100 head
of cattle and 20 head of horses on
the j. w. Sites ranch. A complaint
was made to Mr.. Ethridge last week
that the stock was starving. He in
vestigated and found there were suf-
ficient grounds for the complaint. The
fault, however, seemed to be on the
part of the caretaker rather than the
owner. A conference between Mr..
Sites and the mortgagee of the stock
resulted in their requesting Mr.. Eth
ridge to take charge of it, until steps
could be taken for the mortagee to
acquire title to the animals.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamed con-
ditiop of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is
.he result. and unless the inflammation
.an be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing Will be
destroyed forever; nine casss out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
Catarrhj that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.

Crested Butte Miners
More Wages.
More Work.
Shorter Hours.

1t may not be generally known
but it is nevertheless fact that the
present average wage earnings of the
Crested Butte miners is above that
ever received in the district and fur
better than in any coal mining camp
in the state. 1t is matter Of con
gratulation to the miners all over
the state that an eight hour law and
many other laws. have been enacted
solely for the benefit and protection
of the coal and metal miners which
the operators are bound to respect
Respecting the average earnings
of the miners here, common labor
outside the mine is three dollars for
an eight-hour day, while skilled la
bnr and inside mine workmcn get
from three and half to four and IA
half dollars per day. The coal mi
ners or diggers are paid by the ton
and realize on an average better than
one hundred dollars per month.
1t is said that many of the hard
coal miners are nov making over
one hundred and fifty dollars per
month, and most of those in the
soft coal here are receiving over one
Jun1ro Ioll,r .bacl.- f,r thn co,1
dug by them each month. There
is no reason why we should not
have the most prosperous mining
camp on earth from this date fors
ward, with eight or ten coal mines
operating within the district and
with as many or more metal mines
getting in readiness to go into large
production by building mills and
opening up large ore bodies.
1t is not unlikely that another
season will see 1900 to 2000 men
employed here, directly or indirectly,
with the coal or metal mining in
dustry OF this section. within the
next year after the railroad compa-
ny have standard gauged their
tracks TO this point and all the
big mines of the district.
With the broad gausing OF the
road to Crested Butte there need
never be days cessation Of the op-
Grating OF our steam coal, coke and
anthracite mines. Our labor troubles
are practically over and settled per-
manently,. and there is occasion for
rejoicing while everybody gets busy
to make up for lost time and boost
for the better times coming and
already here.

Pres. Bu!ikiey Here

President and General Manager
Bulkley. of the Smith Anthracite
and BuIkley mines, WAS here last
week looking over the construction
of the new breaker and other mat
ters pertaining to the starting of
coal shipments from both proper
ties. The Bulkley is already pro-
ducing in limited quantity from
the new entry and air course, from
which the production will be con-
stantly increased rs they get further
in on the new vein, with develop
ment opening up additional ground
and turning off more rooms for coal
production. 1t is expected that the
Smith Anthracite breaker will be
ready for operation within the next
ten days, when the shipment of hard
coal will mt once commence, with a
large production from the two fine
veins which are in readiness to fur
nish quantities of coal for the new
breaker to handle. Mr.. Bulklcy
appeared to be highly pleased with
conditions here and the manage
ment of the affairs of the company

Trout for Anthracite

Paoninn.
Forest Ranger 7. II. Thurman,
recently hauled ten thousand young
trout up to the Anthracite TO be dis
tributed in that stream, Coal creek
'and Snowshoc. This is welcome
news to all lovers of the sport here.
We learn that this is part of con-
tract in force to keep the streams
well stocked.
Quite frequently one hears the
criticism made that it is next to use
less to restock the streams from
which the fish may find their way
into irrigating bitches. In this con-
ncction it is interesting to know that
a well known Paonian is now COM
pleting an invention the purpose of
which is to prevent the passage of
fish through headgates. In his de
vice the screen idea is abandoned
entirely. There seems no good rca-
son to doubt its perfect operation
and we hope it may be the means
of gradually diminishing the waste
of trout in iriigating bitches.
