SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS.
Memphis scimitar,)

Oneof the most encouraging fea- lures of the business season ended on the first of this month was the showing made by Southern mining and manufacturing enterprises. Re ports from reliable sources indicate that all of them were fairly prosper ous, even while similar industries were depressed in other parts of the country, the result being due in great measure to the advantages of the proximity of the raw material tG oints of consumption or manufac- ture, and to the favorable climatic conditions.
 This was especially true of cotton manufacturing, which evidences a growth both continuous and of re markable extent. For the first time the consumption of Southern mills exceed @ million bales, the exact figures being ,042 671 bales, repre- senting an increase of 137, 970 bales over the preceding year. The effect of business stagnation is shown to some extent in the slightly dimin- ished consumption per spindle. There were 482 mills, against 475 the year before, and this fact ae- counts for the increased consump- tion, despite the movement toward finer thread and shorter hours at certain mills The rapid develop ment of the business is shown by recalling the fact that but 546, 894 bales were consumed in 1899-90.
 There were gains in consumption as follows: South Carolina, 2, 945 bales; North Carolina, 26, 851 bales; Georgia, IS, 973 bales; Alabama, g. 578, bales; and Kentucky, 4,286 bales. In other Southern States there were increases of smaller amounts. These figures indicate also the rank of several chief pro- ducers, South Carolina leading with 1,1O3, 124 spindles, followed by North Carolina with GOA, IF spin dles, and Georgia with 663, ,039 spin dies. Virginia is credited witt. 139, : l83 spindles Maryland is not in cluded in the list Southern States, though Missouri is so included. The Northern mills in the past year took 1,8O4, 68O bales, or but 760, GOO more than were taken for consump- tion in the South.
 There is probably not a single mill in the South that has been manage by competent persons and under proper business system that has not made favorable showing by com parison withNorthern mills.
 But it is not the advance in man. ufacturing alone that is of value to the South. The constant increase of consumption by home factories is an augury of a steadier and bet ter market for the cotton as it comes from the producers hands

Seattle, Wash. Dec. ia letter to
the Associated Press from Skaguay
Alaska, dated Dec. Ii, gives the fol-
lowing additional news brought from
Dawson by Joe Kastner and George
Mclaughlin, of Helena, Mont, who
left Dawson Nov. 8. When they left
Dawson they we're accompanied by Pat
Holland. Of Butte, Mont, and William
King, of Los Angeles, Cal. Each man
had a sled and an outfit of about 14O
pounds. which included provisions and
blankets. After travelling 14O miles up
the river, Kastner and Mclaughlin
abandoned their sleds and with 100
pounds each on their backs continued
their journey, leaving Holland and
King behind, they had determined to
stick to their sleds. George Ruth, of
Flathead, Mont, was overtaken at Fort
Pelly with his. feet badly frozen, but he
was being cared for.
FROZEN SOLID.
Major Walsh viii have to remain in
his present quarters until the river is
frozen sufficiently to permit him to con-
tinue his journey. Although the river
was open all the way UP, kastner be-
lieves that it would have been frozen
solid, as the river was full of anchor
ice.
Between Fort Pelly and Dawson,
Kastner saw six boats containing FIVE
men each, floating down the river with
the ice. Their position was dangerous
in the extreme and it Was impossible to
render them any assistance.
PRICE OF PROVISIONS.
Provisions at Dawson City were to
be had only from the recent arrivals
who had some TO spare. The prevailing
price was 81 per pound for everything
purchasable, from a sack of flour to a
pick or frying-pan.
''Will there be starvation in Dawson
this winter?" Mr.. Kastner was asked.
HARD QUESTION.
"That is a hard question" he said.
IF the people are put upon rations
there will, in my opinion, be enough
food TO tide over the winter, or until
supplies can arrive, and there viii be
no actual suffering from want of food"
HOW GOLD is LOST.
NIr. Kastner went into the Klondike
country to examine the old diggings,
with q view TO working them. He found
that the drifts filed with water and
were soon transferred into solid beds
of ice, making re-workiDg at present
