statement that he can whip any of
them, and to prove up on his claim
he will post 5000 or $500 with any
reliable party that he can turn the
trick on any of them. Now If any
of these little fellows need the
money, here Is a chance to get 1t

George O'Rourke, whose name
sounds as though he might hail
from the ould sod, but whose home
is in Australia, has arrived in New

If he can whip Cans he will be
able to get chance at Britt or
Nelson right away-and he can;
that is, If he whips Cans.

will hit the local spongers an excep- tionally hard blow. as all of them have gone to big expense to it out machine boats. with costly diving suits, and their vessels are equipped so that they can go into water fifteen and twenty fathoms deep and get the very best spongesc. These boats were equip ped about six months ago in Pensacola. about eighteen in number, and sailed for the sponging grounds, but the sea- son has been q most unpritable one. owing to the great reduction in the market.
 Sponges formerly bringing SIP per bunch are now selling for s2.50 and $500, and many of the divers returned home without realizing anything on their investment and several of them have not completed the payment of equipping their boats. They were in hopes that the lay off in sponge talk ing would cause rise in the market and that when the hurricane season passed they would be able O make some money, but if the case now before the federal courts results in a ruling that duty must be paid on the takes, it is expected that many of the divers will go back to the Mediterranean, where they left a year ago on account of restrictions and scarcity of spongec.
