The admiralty staff, in it's re.

against the superior numbers of
the Germans. The statement
reads:
"During October q important
enemy naval forces. together with
transports, were sighted by our
outposts in the Gulf of Riga. In
Moon Sound the enemy seems to

discovered in the Gulf of Fin

CONFEREES STILL UNABLE
TO REACH SUGAR AGREE
! MENT.

conferences which lasted all day
and are still in progress at mid
night the Louisiana sugar pro
ducers failed to reach an agree
ment with the Food Administra
ton and with the refiners as ii
the basis on which Louisiana SUI
gar will be sold. John M. Par
ker. the food administrator fol
Louisiana, who presided at the
morning and afternoon sessions
TODAY. did all in his power to Sc
cure an agreement, and on two
occasions during the day was on
the point of being successful.
Realizing that the question con-
fronting the Louisiana sugar m
dustrv is one of the most import
ant that it he's been called upon
to solve. Senator Broussard made
hurried trip to Washington to
be present at to-day's conferences.
His train was seven hours late,
however, and he missed the morn
ing session.
Mr.. Parker. who feels that his
position in this matter is similar.
60 that of judge, declined to
comment on the situation. He de-
clared. however. that he thought
it would be entirely ethical to
make this statement: :.
"a ton of choice hay is worth
1880 in some Of our Louisiana
markets. A ton Of cane is worth
Sc. Hay requires no cultivation.
Sugar cane REQUIRES ten months
of hard work.
He even declined to make any
deductions from his statement.
All arrangements had been
made by the representatives Of
the SUGAR growers to depart for
New Orleans tonight. 1t now
seems probable that the confer
ences will be extended over to.
morrow. Prior to the settlement
of the matter, or the definite
knowledge that it will not be SET
tied, the sugar men decline to
comment on the situation and ev,
cry precaution is being taken to
prevent the proceedings Of the
conferences from becoming
known. 1t was learned, how
ever, that the cost sheets Of the
Louisiana planters were laid on1
the table today. It was emph v
sized that this sugar is raised byI
American farmers. who live up to
American standards of living.
The sugar is not raised with Chi
nese labor as is the case in Hawaii
and not with the pauper peon
labor of the West Indies. In adj
aition to the high cost Of labor
and other supplies, it was pointed
out that even now a freeze Isl
threatened and that material re-
duction inthe crop is more than a
possibility.
An interesting feature brought
ont at today's meeting is the fact I
that the beet sugar industry is
threatened with q loss Of 40 per
cent of it's acreage, as result of
the low price fixed for sugar from
this source. Since wheat offers a
greater profit at present prices
than do beets, it is anticipated
that fully 40 per cent of the land
on which beets have been grown
this year will be turned over to
wheat next year.
Owing to the urgent necessity
for his presence in Louisiana,
John NJ. Parker left tonight for
New Orleans. Joseph B. Chaffel
was the only one of the delega-
fion Of sugar men to leave to-
night. Senator Broussard will
remain in the city until the last
of the week. In addition to the
sugar matter, he will take up ,

pected to Subscribe to Its Full
Quota of Liberty Bonds.
OF the $1,000, 100000 at Least

Kansas City. Mo, June.-The South
west must play an important part iii
the Great War with its men and its
money. It's patriotism in supplying
men already has been demonstrated.
Its patriotism in furnishing dollars is
to be judged by its response in the
Liberty Loan campaign.
Probably the most resourceful sec
tion of the United States. the seven
states comprising the Tenth Federal
Reserve Bank District, must raise
from 100 to 125 million dollars as their
subscription to the Liberty Loan fund.
But four or five times the amount
that Is asked of the Southwest will
be spent in the same section for oil
and minerals, grain, stock, lumber and
manufactured arucles-products OF
every field, forest and factory must
supply the wartime demand that guar
antees prosperity to this section dur

estimate-to be returned to producers
and manufacturers in every line OF
business in this section.
But the people of the Southwest arc
not selfish in matters that affect the
welfare of the country as vitality as
this great emergency. Upon the pa
triotism of it's citizens the government
has mainly relied in floating the 2
billion-dollar bond issue.
Every man in this district is within
reach of a banker who will explain the
Liberty Loan plan and the manner In
which Liberty Bonds may be bought.
No charge is made by bankers in
handling the bonds. and every cent
invested not only will mean good
return to the holder but will aid ma
terially in bringing the war to \
speedy close.
The situation is critical. The South,
vests men who have offered their
lives must be equipped with the most
modern devices of war in plentiful
supply SO that they may sell their
lives as dearly as possible. The Lib.
erty Loan will serve that purpose. and
in the subscription of their dollars
many citizens who cannot go to the
front may display the same spirit Of
patriotism that prompts others to of.

MINING FAKERS SWARM
CREDENTIALS ARE POOR

Crested Butte has recently been
visited by few mining takers who
came here claiming to represent i'm
portant mining interests in the east.
They We're full of long stories about
their mining ability and what they
were going to do here, their chief hob
by being ten year leases and tram
ways. These mining experts" are
interested in your property, but ap-
parcntly more interested in adjacent
unstakcd claims. Their talk of ship
ping ore would fill volumes, but their
total shipment amounted to about
fifty pounds of high grade samples.
With these they will probably exhibit
their rich mining interests in Gunni-
son county to the innocents back east
who do not know what to do with
their money.
This is not the first time that Cres-
ted Butte and Crystal have been mis-
led by mining takers, and it would
be well for our local property owners
to look into the credentials of those
who come here from time to time,
armed with a prospector's pick and
hot air.

OUR COAL MINING INDusTRIEs

Never in the history of the town Of
Crested Butte, has there been greater
activity among the coal mines of this
locality, than is seen at the present
time. Of the six mines now operating
every one is working to full capacity
when they have sufficient number
Of men to do SO.
There appears to be greater de-
mand for hard coal than ever known
and the three hard coal properties are
swamped with orders. The Smith
Anthracite and Peanut hard coal
mines have only been making small
production for the past sixty days on
account of machinery repairs which
are now nearly completed, and from
now on they will be able to double the
tonnage. Both of these properties
have recently encountered better
grades Of coal in their entries and
thicker veins of cleaner coal than had
nearer the surface.
The C. F. G. l. company is opcrat-
ing the Florcsta Ruby anthracite to
full capacity where the men are OBJ
tainable to do this and the company
is also opening a new hard coal mine
just outside the town limits which
will require a breaker, for crushing
and sizing the mine product. 1t is un-
derstood that the company will likely
bring the Ruby mine product direct
from the mine to this new breaker
when completed which will save the
operating of two breakers.
Of the three soft coal mines work.
ing, the C. F. G. I. company's pro-
perty is making q large output Of the
best steam coal and coke produced in
the world, much of which will find its
way to the Pacific coast, whenever the
D. & R. G. railroad standardizes it's
tracks from Crested Butte to Mont
rose, which will enable the company
IL. deliver the coal to any point on the
coast without transfer.
The Bulkley and Pueblo soft coal
properties are maintaining their usuA
output and working every day. From
sixty to ninety cars Of coal and coke
are daily loaded out from Crested
Butte, some Of which is billed as far
east as Missouri river points and a
portion west to Pacific shores. The
present pay rolls of the several coal
mines operating here is about forty
thousand dollars per month, this is
expected to reach fifty thousand be-
fore the years end.
