Light receipts and almost legitimate condition seems to warrant present price level. excepting the unsettled conditions in the financial circles. While the demand for spot cotton continues active and cotton goods show an advancing tendency, the ruling prices for the raw ma terial causes some hesitation where the in- clination is to invest and for that reason the speculative market receives no support beyond that coming from short covering

NEW YORK June 12.-Sensational was the opening to the cotton future market today. First prices were at an advance of IS to 45 points the July option being in the lead. The general market displayed considerable strength. news. At the better prices there was consid- erable selling by longs of recent creation, but considering the sensational ruling of the mar ket, the long stuff was well taken. The late market was rather nervous and uncertain and the fluctuations were cratic. The Liverpool ca blos were quite strong. The foreign crowd bought in the local pit taking quite a lot of the new crop deliveries, principally December and January cotton. The amount brought into sight for the week furnished the bulls some argument, The New York figures were 35,546 bales while the New Orleans figures were S7,TS bales, against 455l3 last year.

Mines, Mills and Mining.

Custer county is one of the richest mining sections in the world,
but at present it needs better transportation, and capital to develop
its rich mining districts. In some states and territories mining
and agriculture, though progressing hand in hand, are yet nearly
independent of each other. The farmers market is widened by
the miner, to be sure but not relying on home consumption ex-
iclusively, he can exist and prosper, but in this county the miner
and farmer depend upon each other to a great extent. Let us for
a moment call the attention of the capitalist to some of the most
important mining districts and mines in the county, viz Mackay,
with its great copper mines; Morgan creek; Garden creek lead and
silver mines; Bayhorse district with its famous Ramshorn, Skylark
and dozens of rich lead-silver and gold bearing mines; Poverty
Flat; Centennial Flat; East Fork; Clayton; Slate creek; Thompson
creek; Robinson Bar; Stanley Basin, with placer and quartz; Fish
Ier gold mines; Sheep Mountain and Seafoam, with their hundreds
of rich lead silver mines; Loon creek. placer and gold quartz min
es; Washington Basin gold mines; and the celebrated Yankee Fork
district, which is gold-siver ores, and embraces within its confines
hundred of mines, the most prominent producers at this time being
the Lucky Boy and Yankee Fork. Custer county also has several
quartz mills and smelters-fve quartz mills at Custer; a dredge
boat and mill at Stanley; d smeter at Clayton; concentrator at Bay
horse, and a new 800ton smeter at Mackay. In Custer county has
nearly 5000 located mining claims, and yet the vast region has not
been half prospected.
