EXPERTS ESTIMATE THIS SEA-
SONS CROP, WILL BE WORTH
THIS AMOUNT.

WASHINGTON, Nov 24.-Prosper-
ity is assured in the cotton belt this
year by reason of the high prices of
the crop. If the present rates pre-
vail it is regarded as possible by gov
eminent experts that this years crop
will be worth $9OO,OOO,OOO to 81 900 ,OOO,-
900 to the South. aLst years crop-not
inclusive of the seed-was valued at
$6S3,000,000, while the addition of the
seed increased the valuation to the
neighborhood of $7SO,0OO,OOO. At pres
ent rates of cotton and seed, with the
fine grades of long staple selling at is
or 20 cents or more, the excess over
last years yield may amount to $3.50,
100000 or even $20000O,00O
These estimates place the years cot
ton crop at worth more than double
that of the worlds production of gold
and larger than the combined capital
of all the national banks.
The farmers of the Southwest, whose
crops are short, will receive, if the
ruling high prices continue, as much

SILENT BILL BURNS TALKS Of BASEBALL

SILENT Bill Burns, the crack pitcher
of the Chicago Americans left for the
Coast by the S. S. Korea yesterday,
after a brief visit here. He rece we'd
cable from his manager to hurry back
and report for early practise.
Burns said that he hated to go away
SO soon but that he couldn't wait for
the next Pacific Mail steamer and
couldn't afford to pay the 5000 fine for
travelling on foreign bottom.
Speaking of the baseball situation in
the states Burns said to a Star man:
There W II be lots of the old guard
of players in the big leagues let out
this coming season and there will be
much new blood introduced. By the
old guard 1 mean such men as Harr

money for their smaller crop as they
did for last years larger one, and in
some cases more; while the farmers
of the central South, where the yield
is as great as that of last year, will
realize more handsomely than ever be-
fore.
Georgia cotton, by virtue of high
prices, should reach a total value of
$175, 100000, including the worth of the
cottonseed, an advantage of about
$50,000,0OO over last year. The Caro-
linas will do as well, relatively Ala
bama and Mississippi, even if their
crops fall somewhat under what they
were last year, in quantity will run
above last years mark in value.
The surplus of wealth, resultant for
the South, will be such as has been
unequaled since the civil war, and the
effect of it is expected to be oh
served in the building of homes, good
roads, schools and the extension of
commercial and industrial establish
ments. The grains and fruits of the
South are also aiding materially in
swelling the total of agricultural pros
perity. The Florida orange crop is
to reach 100000 boxes,
about half as much again as that Of
last year.

out. At present the mine is shipping
between 20 and 100 tons of ore a day,
but with the Increased development
IL Is now able to send ont a tonnage
OF between 200 and 800 tons a day.
II is to make arrangements for the
proposed increase in tonnage that SUI
perintendent Gaskell is now in the

In speaking OF conditions at Phoebe,
Mr.. Gaskell declares that things are
livening up there In a manner that is
pleasing to the mine owners. He as
serts that the place will soon be one
OF the great mining districts OF the
country and that the tonnage hauled
from the camp each day to the smelt

a figure little dreamed of at present.

CURRENCY OF ruRs AND SKINS
Primitive Mode Of Exchange That Pre-
vailed In Early Days.

In the early days Of the United
States furs and skins we're very gen.
orally transferred from hand to hand
as money. Thus. in the northern
states. a pound OF beaver was regard
cd as the unit OF value. and IN the
south the same weight Of dcerskin
performed similar function. In the
far west furs retained q currency val
ue until quite a recent date. But. aft
er all. as bale of skins was rather a
bulky roll OF money to carry about, 1t
was customary to cut OF small strips
as tokens Of ownership and pass them
from hand to hand, while the skins
were deposited in recognized places OF
security. Proof OF rightful ownership
was demonstrated when the strip was
fitted to the part from which It had
been detached. Trickery In substitut-
ing another skin was not so easy as
might be Imagined, because 1t seldom
happened that two skins would prove
so exactly similar In shade and length
Of fur where the strip was cut of as
to deceive even the eye of a novice.
