AMERICAS ENJOYS
TRADE CARNIVAL,
Eight Hundred Bales Cotton Came
Yesterday.
PUT THOUSANDS IN CIRCULATION
Cotton Sold For Good Prices and Mer-
chants Had Fine Trade Collections
are Good Few Farmers are Hold
ing Cotton.

Americas warehousemen received
812 bales of cotton yesterday, thus
breaking the record for the season on
receipts by more than two hundred
bales.
AT an early hour the cotton wagons
began rolling in from the country, an d
long before noon the business streets
were crowded with teams and people.
The warehouses were easily the bus
lest centres, and many thousands of
dollars were paid ont there for the
heecy staple.
And never were people in better
spirits. Ten cents for cotton was
something new and the effect was we'll
nigh magical Not in ye ars has there
been more money paid out here.
The ''good time coming" was long
deferred but came at last.
The expected slump in the cotton
market did not materialize. Upon the
contrary, contracts showed consider
able strength and advanced several
points at the close. The demand for
spot cotton was good, though not as
strong as on the day previous when
ten cents was the ruling price.
Ten ,ents was paid for fine cotton
here yesterday, though 81 cents was
the ruling price. And many farmers
were very we'll satisfied Herewith.
Of the 812 bales brought in yester-
day perhaps 700 were sold.
At an average price of $50 per bale,
the goodly sum of thirty-fYe thousand
dollars was thus put into circulation
here and went to discharge obligations
and for the purchase of more goods.
The banks and supply men received
the hons share of this very goodlT
amount.
One bank alone collected S., 200 yes
terday and as much more Friday, and
the others doubtless got their share.
Business among the wholesale and
retail merchants must have been very
good, as every country wagon went
out loaded with bundles and boxes.
The warm weather just now probably
cut off the sale of fall goods yesterday,
but they will go in whirl later on.
Upon the whole, 1t was a great and
busy day in this good town of ours.

STILL ENROLLING THE PUPILS.
More Than 800 Names are Placed on
The Lists.

Supt. J. E. Mathis, of the Americas
public schools, has been busy the past
week enrolling pupils for the forth
coming school term. During the week
just ended Supt. Mathis enrolled three
hundred pupils for Furlow and Rees
Park schools, and will enroll as many
more this week. Last term, which
was the most successful in twenty
years. the attendance in the white
schools was 635, while the attendance
of colored pupils was perhaps 700 or
$50. 1t is believed that the attendance
this fall will exceed even that of the
past session, and the Americus schools
will go beyond high water mark. The
public schools open for the fall term
on 18th. inst, two weeks from tomor-
row.

Fishing Season.

The season on all food fish except
black bass opens May I. but the sea-
son on black bass does not open until
May Is. The last legislature amended
the law providing against the sale of
trout and bass by extending the time
within which it applies to 1902. The
old law provided that they should not
be sold or exposed for sale before Jan.
l. 1900. This provision has been of
great benefit to the conservation of
the supply of these fish. and it is ap-
proved by all sportsmen. The slaught-
err of fish that attends the sale of
them would give the supply no oppor-
tunity for natural increase and would
soon result In almost complete eXtinc-
tion except in the most remote
waters.

Mills Started.

The Knox Lumber company began
saving on their seasons cut yesterday
at their mill at Winton. The firm
will start on the timber put in by
Jacob Pete the past winter. The
mill has been thoroughly overhauled
and good seasons work is in pros
pect. The Knox yards are looking a
little lank this spring owing to the
large drawing made by the Eastern
markets on the same during the
winter. A new tug will arrive soon
for Fall lake, when the little steamer
will be moved over into White Iron
lake.
The Fall Lake Lumber company's
mill will begin on their seasons Ncut
next Monday. 1t is expected that
80, 600, 900 feet will be sawed this sea-
son. A new locomotive has arrived
to be used on the logging road. The
mill has been thoroughly refitted and
is in first class condition. Quite an
amount Of lumber is on hand in the
yards which will 90 forward as soon
as navigation opens.

The Chandler and Pioneer which
have always been considered soft ore
mines, have made new departure,
and are now sorting their lump ore,
thus establishing new grades. There
is Il growing demand for coarse ore,
as was evidenced by the numerous
shipments Of lump ore from the MINI
nesota last season. A large crusher
consigned to-the Oliver Mining COM
pany, to be located at the Pioneer
went north this week.-Two Harbors
News.
A mammoth crusher has been re-
ceived by the Oliver company for use
at the Pioneer mine. The machine
was built by the Gates Iron Works at
Chicago. A substantial foundation
has been constructed near the shaft
and the crusher will be placed in a
few days. screen system will be
employed and the large ore chunks
will go directly into the crusher there
to be crushed To conform with the
balance of the Pioneer grade.
The Pioneer began shipments a
week ago Monday sending down the
daily hoist, something like 1900 tons
d day. While it was little early,
the mine was forced to do this owing
to a break in the stockpile grounds
letting down large section of the
pile something like IL feet into the
soft swamp. The grounds had been
filled in after the frost Of last fall and
the filling had not touched good bot
tom. The pile contains about 200, 900
tons and is probably the best output
of any one shaft in the country.
