CURB ECHOES.

II is reported that the shares OF the
Diamondfeld Black Butte are now COM
ing In for some activity The Campbell
lease Is said 10 be asking 500 for ore
produced from a twelve-inch vein. and
some sources estimate that good ore will
shortly be opened up in other leases.
Several feet of ore assayIng $1,000 TO
the ton is reported to have been opened
up on the S00-foot Level of the Manhattan
Big Four. 1t is also reported that
massive quartz vein has been encoun-
tered on the Tarish lease bringing in
about S2o per ton. The directors OF the
Bis Four have decided 70 increase the
capacity OF their mill 10 80 tons daily,
instead of 100 tons, as originally out
lined. The large tonnage in sight, II IL
stated 10y the management, is sufficient
to keep the mill in operation for some
time.
Reports from Canada state that the
Standard Gold Mines Of the Porcupine
district have been forced into liquidation,
and the assets OF the company will be
sold at auction. The Standard is re-
ported TO own several claims, both in

Under the above heading The Financial
World" has the following.
1T is not TO be wondered at that the
cotton market broke sharply when the
mort appeared this week that George b.
Wadley. president of the Southern States
Corporatl ton, had gone abroad In the CX-
oeclation that he Will DO able to raise
100000 FOR the purpose Of financing this
ysars cotton crop and holding the price
N artihcally to - cents a pound. The
cotton market reasoning was rightly that
the putting forward of such a fantastic
proposal must DC the last card OF cotton
sbsculatOrs for the rise. There Is, of
course, no 800 0Oo,po0 or $50 900 or even
10000 abroad TO be had by any group
Of American spectators to further any
