and the Crystal River & San Juan

"The population Of Marble" said
Mr.. Hanley to News-Champion re-
porter, "is now approaching 500 souls.
The old store buildings are again in
use and the empty houses of the city
are filling up again. Our fabrication
mills are steadily adding men, and it
is gratifying to note the number of
old residents and expert workmen,
who come back on hearing that Mar
bic Is again reviving, and do 30 vol
untarily.s
BESIDES the larger companies, it is
understood that within sixty days
work will start again on the Strauss
quarries and the Colorado White Mar
BILE company, which will make addi-
tional population and business for the
city. The opening of the Crystal
River Coal & Coke company at Pla-
cita, while just across the Gunnisor
line In Pitkin county, is also an indus
try for the Crystal river. The An
thracite Fuel Co., owned by Salt Lake
capital, is driving q tremendous tun-
mel under Mcclure pass to open the
Munsey Hard Coal mines, and this is
in Gunnison territory, starting but a
few miles below Marble"
Mr.. Hanley is a booster for the pro-
posed Mcclure pass highway, and
while here is siezing the opportunity
TO interview our public men in regard
to assisting the proposition. He iE
certain it will not only mean great
deal in developing Gunnison county
but actually mean more trade and
business for the county seat itself.
He finds every one agreeing that it is
a necessary development of the near
future, a road which must be built in
justice to that quarter of the county.
The development of Marble and the
Crystal river has only started. It
has the finest marble in the world
and undreamed Of quantities of it.
With the coal and coke mines, the
slate and graphite deposits, and the
metal mines Of the Crystal and Scho-
field regions. Marble will yet be the
center Of one Of Western Colorado's
largest industrial fields.

One hundred and fifty men are on
pay roll of the big finishing mill at
Marble; hfty 1t the quarries and fif-
teen upon the railroad, making total
Of over two hundred regularly en-
ployed; and orders are increasing con-
stantly, 20 that there Is the best pos
sible outlook for steady growth in this
northern city of Gunnison county.
This is the report given to the
ews-Champion by Edward C. Han
ley, treasurer and general manager
Of the Yule Marble company of Colo
RADIO, who has been in our city yes
terday- and today on business mat
ters At the county seat. Mr.. HanIey
is connected with the Colorado Nation
al Bank Of Denver, but spends most
of his time at this juncture in looking
after interests of the great marble
concerns on the Crystal river, the
greatest marble industry in this part
of the United States and destined to
grow at rapid rate from now on.
Very much repairing and renovat-
ing was necessary on the mills after
the long idleness caused by the war,
but things are working smoothly and
there is q fine business in the future
assured. The company is just com
pleting marble hipments for the Sc
curity Trust and Savings Building of
Portland, Oregon and the 13-story
Tribune building at Oakland, Califor-
mia, and furnishing material for the
Capital Life building Of Denver and
forty school buildings in Los Angeles,
while many other smaller jobs are be-
ing handled.
The present market for Colorado
marble is largely on the west coast,
but It is believed adjustment Of freight
rates will soon be secured which will
enable the company to bid on and Sc
cure the million dollar jobs of eastern
cities which are now the exclusive
proposition Of Vermont and Tennessee
quarries. There is no limit to the
supply at Marble and as its quality
Is now proven, the markets of the
the world are opening.

were bid in by the Carrara Marble Co.,

PROJECT FOR LIQUOR
SHIPMENTS HALTED
Sir Broderick Hartwell Promises
London Court to Discontinue Pro-

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 7.-Sir Brod-
erick Hartwell, whose famous circu-
lar inviting the public to participate
in a project. for the shipment of
liquors to point 20 miles off the
American coast caused somewhat of
a stir last year, will not issue another
invitation of the kind, according to
a promise made by his attorneys be-
fore a chancery court here today.
The liquor shipping project became
a subject of a chancery court case
when an American trust company
asked an injunction to restrain Sir
Broderick from using it's name in
connection with the suggestion that
it was remitting money from Amer
lea in payments for liquor. The trust
company attorneys stated that, in
view of the fact that the company
held deposits Of the American Gov
ernment and that member of it's
board was an American law officer,
the broadcasting of a suggestion that
1t was in any way connected with
rum-running could not be tolerated.
Sir Broderick's counsel said that
their client did not wish to repeat
his circular, or have it thought that
the trust company had anything to
do with the purchase of liquor. The
case ended when Sir Broderick agreed
to issue no further circulars and to
pay the costs of the present action
