THE CAMP BIRDS RICHES.

The official report of the Camp
Bird mine at Ouray for the fiscal
year ending April 80, 1906, states
that the mine ran S12 days, having
lost but two days before its destruc-
ton by a snowslide on March II.
In that time 66,223 tons of dry ore
was treated, yielding 1892, 2,203. or
an average monthly product of $780,
600. The ore reserves broken We're
estimated to yield a net profit of
$2,30O,OOO and the unbroken reserve
a net profit of S2.000,0O0. The stop
page of the mill by the accident cost
Ouray county a loss of 100000 to
$1.O00,000 in its regular annual out
put, but the new concern is running
and will make better record than
the one it displaced. Prospectively,
according to the Herald, there was
never greater promise for the proper
ties lying along the side of the I'm
compahgre valley just north of Ou-
ray. With three or four of these
properties in good ore. as everything
indicates they will be in short time,
and with two or three hundred men
working in them the outlook for the
current year is really great.

NEW YORK, Nov 29.-Although
Liverpool was disappointing and the
opening on the December option was
practically unchanged from the close
of Wednesday, the balance of the list
opened up several points. On the
prediction of extremely bad weather
over the belt coupled with the very
bullish estimate of one Miss Burch
of 10,3SS,000 bales, the market res
ponded promptly, December selling
as high as 1125 and January 1886,
at which point profit taking is in
evidence with may have tendency
to further depress the market for the
day, however there is no overlooking
the fact that the relative position of
the market is indeed strong and the
boys who have been faithful to the
cause" will undoubtedly reap their
reward ere this season shall have
come to a close. The large crop es-
timators have taken to the tall and
uncut timbers," and we are therefore
unable to get in touch with them.
However, they will again turn up
and then they will explain where they
fell down"

COTTON CONTRACTS
MAKE SMALL GAINS
Small Sales Locally on
Basis II Gents.

Cotton contracts made a sharp adj
vance again yesterday. Exceedingly
unfavorable weather over the holt
day, with the same condition still
prevailing, was one of the two causes
for the advance The other was an
estimate by female statistician of
crop of 10,388,O00 bales. This last
prodded the bears again, their figur-
ers having given up long ago. With
only the weight of realizing to con-
tend with the bulls carried prices for
ward until gain of nearly quar-
ter of a cent was recorded, though
the close was a little below the best
on realizing. When the reports of
actual damage in the way of rotting
bolls and ruined fields begin to
come in today, additional fuel will be
added to the advance in all probabili-
ty.
The New York market opened I'M
changed for December but 3 to z
points higher for other active posi-
lions. After a few minutes of I'M
steadiness prices took an upward turn
but this was not permanent. After
some changes each way, in the after
noon, on the estimate referred to-,
the market became stronger. Dec
ember jumped 10 points on the es-
innate The close was steady, sew
eral points below the high level, 16
to % points net higher for the ses-
sion. Spot prices were marked up
% points. New Orleans opened 5
to s points higher. Prices changes
were somewhat irregular, with ten
dency to reach a higher level All
months reached II cents, but Dec
ember and January did not hold that
exalted place. Proft-taking near the
close was responsible for loss of a
few points, the close being steady
10 to 10 points above the final for
Wednesday. Spot quotations were
advanced 3-16c.
Liverpool was due 2 to points
higher and opened steady unchanged
to IL points up. The market soon
worked higher, the close being quiet
and steady, z 1-2 to points above
the previous close. Spot prices were
reduced / to 613d with sales of
1000 bales. The English market is
due 5 points higher this morning.
The estimates for today are:
Houston, 5000 to $500 bales New
Orleans, 10000 to $4,000; Galveston
5000 to 10000.
