Ed. Brooks, Former
GunnisOn Coal Man
Dies in Wyoming

Daily papers report the death on
Monday at his home in Rock Springs,
Wyoming, Of Edward s. Brooks, presi-
dent and general manager Of the
Union Pacific Coal Company
Mr.. Brooks was known TO many
old time residents Of Gunnison, having
come to our valley in 1883 as super
intendent of the U. p. Coal mines at
Baldwin. He remained for several
years and then went to Denver, later
to Wyoming.
Mr.. Brooks is highly spoken Of by
John Steele, Carey Partch, and others
who knew him. After going to the
Capital City he returned frequently
as manager Of the Baldwin coal mines,
then running on large scale, and was
in charge in 1892 at the time of the
big fight for the Floresta right-of-
way, when the Union Pacific con-
struction crew got ahead of and above
the Rio Grande graders and shot rock
down on them in showers TO head of
the work. This trouble was finally
settled by joint track agreement be-
tween the two roads from Kebler pass
to Floresta, a trackage covenant that
continues to this day, and in recogni-
tion Of which the U. p. abandoned its
projected route over Kebler pass into
the North Fork valley and to Munsey
hard coal fields. The old railroad
grade thru meadows Of the Pressler
ranch and in back of Mt, Carbon is
plainly visible today.
Altho Ed. Brooks long ago left Gun
nison, he retained his membership in
Gunnison Lodge No. 80 A. F. & A. M.
until his death. He was q shriner
and 32nd degree Mason. His de-
mise occurred from heart trouble that
attacked him two weeks ago. He is

Funeral of Charles
Hazelhurst Held

The body Of Charles H. Haxelhurst.
who died in SalidA last Friday morn
ming from blood poison, was brought
to Gunnison Saturday mux5ling, -
companfed by Mrs. HaxeIhur1E and
son, Gerald, and wife, whe wure with
Mr.. Haxelhurst during his last Illness
Two members Of the Brotherhood Of
Firemen and Engineers, w. F. Hof-
fncker and E. L. Brisneham, also &C.
compAnied the remains from Salida,
TO act as two of the pail bearers at

noon from the Episcopal church. The
other four pallbearers were local men,
and railroad associates Of the deceas-
cd. They were: Earl Berryhill, Jarvis
Edwards, Fred Winters and J. D..
Haley.
The funeral services were very
impressive. Rev. Bernard Geiser
preached comforting sermon, and q
large choir sang several beautiful
Numbers. The church was filled with
friends and busines, associates Of the
family. Deceased was one. of the
veteran railroad men of this section.
and a member Of the Brotherhood Of

PLANT SHOWS
GOOD PROFITS NOW

After recheck of water users in
the town of Gunnison, figuring new
bathrooms, toilets and additional
rooms built, which require a higher
water payment monthly, Town Treas
urer r. j. Potter finds that the rev.
enue from municipal water for 1924
will be approximately s325 larger
than last season.
Following the enforced installation
of sewers and toilets last year, q great
many rates were found lower than the
ordinance allowed and have been ac-
cordingly placed upon the proper
schedule, which brings in this added
revenue.
Since the town bought the munich
pal light and water plant, the light
business has been a great success,
but was obliged to carry loss on the
water payments, as SO many long dis
tances between consumers, the free
use of water for municipal purposes,
ETC., ate up the revenues. However,
for two years there has been q bal
ance on the favorable side Of the
ledger Of around 1900 q year, and
this re-check will bring in enough
with the new houses and connections
TO be made this year--to perhaps
reach profit Of $500 in 1924. THE
profit, however, will, of course, go
back into a sinking fund to pay up
water bonds or be used for further
extension of the mains.
M. B. Herrick and f. T. Brown, who
have been auditing the town books,
completed their work yesterday and
the same will be shortly published for
the benefit Of the citizens.

Reports Of sensational values IN
Golden Fleece ore at Lake City are

learned that leasers have opened .
six-inch vein Of tellurium ore that car
ries assays Of over $1,000 q ton.
w. X. Mclean and e. P. Simpson,
the later formerly of Gunnison, have
been working on this lease for some

made real stake on the old Fleece,
which made half of Denver rich in
carly days Of Lake City.
As a matter of fact the Golden
Fleece has never been exhausted Of
even properly prospected, according
to old-time miners. There are un-
doubtedly vast bodies Of high grade
ore left in the old slopes and in hith-
erto unprospected parts of the mine.
The Golden Fleece is located upon

Castle Gate Mine
Disaster Invades
Somerset Homes

Altho no one from this portion of
the county was involved in the Castle
Gate mine explosion of two weeks
ago, which snuffed out l73 lives, many
from Crested Butte and Somerset
found names of relatives and nc.
quaintances on the casualty list. M.

ment work on Mine No. 8, close TO
the explosion which occurred in No. 2,
and Immediately took charge of the
rescue work: Walter Whipp and VIM.
Wallace, well known here, were work
ing in No. 3 and escaped the fatality.
One hundred and fifty women were
made widows and 500 children orphan
ed by the disaster. Speaking Of the

Robert Williams Jr., supt. of the
Calumet mine at Somerset, and form
crly supt. Of the stricken mine at
Castle Gate, which is also owned by
the Utah Fuel company, has gone to
the Utah town.
The disaster has sorrowed many
Somerset homes. Several there had
relatives, while almost everybody in
Somerset knew the victims. George
Sherct1n, one OF the dead, was the
stepfather Of Mrs. Harry Cowan and
Harry and David Evans. These three
also lost a cousin, John Davis, and an

A REAL HOME
TOWN FACTORY

A lady told Us Saturday that
she thot we were getting rich
taking in 30 many subscriptions,
bat when We suggested that the
tie pay roll ct The Newx-Cham-
p6cn was m average Of SIC .
day, not counting taxes, insur-
ance, light, power, coal and
other expenses, she decided the
subscription money Was . Nigh
ty small part Of the income nee
essary in keeping up . real live
home paper.
And this reminds as that a. n
factory proposition, q home en-
terprise with q payroll, we know
of no kind Of business that can
compare with q local newspaper
in keeping the home dollar in
tact and on the jump. In almost
all retail establishments and
factories, two-thirds Of the Gus
toners dollar is sent away for
stock or raw material, but with
q newspaper, we find that rarely
more than fifteen per cent goes
out of town. The bulk is in
wages and for materials pur-
chased right at home, which
keeps the community money cir
culating. Perhaps ten per cent
goes to Denver for paper and
another five per cent for machin-
cry repairs, ink, and that sort
Of supplies, but where can you
find another factory in which
the product-news and print
ing is so largely composed of
the thought and labor of home
folks
