    Let \(\kappa\) be an infinite cardinal with the discrete topology. If \(f\) is a continuous mapping from the Stone-Čech remainder \(\beta \kappa \setminus \kappa\) of \(\kappa\) onto a space \(Y\) such that for each \(y\in Y\) the fiber \(f^{\gets}(y)\) has cardinality less than \(2^{\mathfrak c}\), then \(Y\) contains a homeomorphic copy of \(\beta \kappa \setminus \kappa\) and thus the weight of \(Y\) is \(2^\kappa\).
