There is an eyer-increasing con
sumption OF American cottons in AZ
rica, considerable quantities having
been imported during the last four
years. During 1895 26, $50 900 yards OF
coarse American cotton tissues were
imported. 1t is principally the east
coast which has offered the best mar
ket for these goods, while the markets
of the west coast are monopoIized by
English and German houses. On the
coast of the Red sea. as far as Somall,
American cottons are in great demand.
The uses of these articles by the ma
tives are very simple and primitive
To cover their nakedness they take
a piece about twelve yards long, which
they roll round their loins, bringing IL
over the right shoulder and fastening
1t to the girdle. A tissue OF somewhat
finer description is used as a mantle
or tunIc, and this kind OF article does
not. 1t is said, cost more than a few
pence. Cottons were formerly shipped
in bales by sailing vessels. and in
small quantities, according to the de-
mands at the place OF consumption.
but this method of transport has OF
Late completely changed. AT the pres
snt time cottons are shipped on steam.
ers and in much larger quantities. The
vessels unload at Alden, where the dis
tribution of the merchandise is effect
ed for the various parts of the east
coast. American cottons have, IT Is
said, a brilliant future before them.
not only on the east and west coasts
of Africa, but also in the interior OF

MOLLIE GIBSON MINE.
The Once Paying Stock Now Being As
SoSSed.

sessed.
In the checkered history of mining en-
terprises it would be hard to match the
story of the Mollie Gibson mine, for ex-
IRENE ups and downs. At one time
Mollie Gibson stock, largely held in Mil
Waukee, sold for S13 share and paid
big monthly dividends. Now the stock
is worth less than 40 cents and instead
Of paying dividends there is talk of levy
ing an assessment. A Colorado Springs
paper says: IF there be any truth IN
current rumor, it would seem that Mol
lie Gibson stockholders would be as
sessed before many moons. Mollle Glib
son is one of the few assessable stocks
representing Colorado mine. If the
step has to be taken it will not be the
first time, as some years ago call was
made for 2 cents per share. The
stock is assessable to the extent Of 20
cents, and as 2 cents has already
been called, it will be seen that the stock
holders are still liable for % cents per
share. Some weeks ago, it will be re-
membeIed, that a report was circulated
that a continuation of the old Mollle
Gibson ore chute had been encountered.
This rumor was not confirmed at head
quarters, but so much credence was given
to the report that thGre was demand
for the stock and it advanced in price.
But those who had expected much, and
even those who had hoped for the best.
are up to this hour doomed to disappoint-
ment. It may be, however, that the
Iong-looked for ore chute is not far off.
The development work which has been
going on month after month with the one
object in view has not been done i'll an
aimless way. Before this work was
started every calculation was made to at
tempt to solve the intricate problem
which nature had placed before the
management, and it is probably only just
to presume that this last disappointment
was as bitter to those i'll control of the
company's affairs as to any one"
