The Elk Mountain pilot., 1920-03-04

Lne SnlII, Dy any means, IL SIMPLY sig
nifies that the new bath houses
erected at the Elk Mountain and
Crested Butte mines of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company, with their tub
and shower bath facilities, hot and
cold water, and the usual accessories
of soaps, brushes, towels ETC., with
clean and separate lockers, where
street clothes may be kept for chang
ing after shifts, are fully appreciated
and patronized by the working men,
and it is no longer necessary for any
one, unless he so wishes, to carry the
coal CRIME, or to wear his pit clothes
beyond the portals of the mine, after
his days work is concluded.
Mr.. H. P. Jones, Superintendent of
the I. C. S., and Mr.. D. D. Shaw, a
representative of that school, have
been in our city the past week. These
gentlemen have enrolled quite large
class in Crested Butte and Mr.. Shaw
expects to make regular trips here
every month or six weeks. The cor
respondence school will prove a great
benefit to the young men and women
of this community who are unable to
attend high school or college. 1t is a
we'll known fact that people have ac-
complished wonders through this
school and what has been done can
easily be done again. The courses
taught are many and varied and it
goes without saying that one cannot
begin to estimate the benefits derived
from the studies.
There was quite lot of excitement
in town Tuesday evening when it
was reported that several men had
been caught in a slide between here
and Smith breaker, however the re-
port was false. Felice Ruggero and
three other men had started from the
hill and on account Of the heavy
storm became confused and thought
they were lost. A bunch Of men
went out from here and had them
safely in town in a short time.
As the rotary was going up to Smith
breaker, Wednesday, a slide came
down back Of it near the Horace mine
striking the caboose, which was badly
amashed. Several men were badly
shaken up but no one was seriously
injured. The section men shoveled
the rotary out A dog which happen
ed to be in the way was killed by the
slide.

and at tho old Pueblo mine below
town, the train was unable to get
through from Gunnison, Tuesday, con-
sequently we had no mail ON THAI day;
however tho rotary came through on
Wednesday morning, opening up the
road once more.
Monday and Tuesday it showed
about two and q half feet, and the
storm made it look old fashioned. but
it has since cleared off and the
weather is as fine as ever.
According to the old adage, March
should go out like q lamb, but Harry
Mccormack says when it comes in
like lion, 1t IS more likely to go out
like two Of 'em.
