At Houghton, Mich, copper is decreas- ing, though 5000 more men are employ ed than one year ago. Opening of new mines in Arizona draws workmen from the old properties. The product of un- smelted copper of the Quincy mine was less than 700 tons in July-an average of 500 tons had maintained for a year pre- vious-due to inability to get out the rock.

TAHLEQUAH LETTER.
Matters of Interest from the
Cherokee Capital.

Tahlequah, |. T., Dec 4, '99 -
The last week of the Cher
okee legislature promises to be the
most interesting of all. The ques-
tion of the collection of the claim
of "a, 300, 900 against the United
States is matter Of great interest
and many emiaent attorneys are
on the ground among whom arc
Gov. James Z, Trouiman, Of Kan
sas, Wiley o Cox, Of Kansas City,
William Reed Trasher. Of New
York City, and Robert l.. Owen,
of Muskogee and others too mum.
erous to mention, besides these
are the Cherokee lobbyists, of
whom Tinita furnishes q few.
Gov. Troulman submitted a
proposition to collect the'claim for
5 per cent of the first two million
dollars collected and six per cent
for the balance. Robert l.. Owen
anG Wiley O. Cox have not sub
mitted their proposition yet.
The most important document
now up for consideration is the
proposition of William Reed
1rasher, for the collection Of the
81, ,3O0,000 claim. Mr.. Trasher
proposes to collect this money for
the Cherokee nation in a round
about way for twenty per cent, no
more nor no less. His proposition
was introduced by Councilman
james B. Woodall in the lower
lhs~aes Saturday evening and was
read once. 1t is very adroitly
drawn and reads like it was writ
ten by some New York lawyer.
The proposition is this, that
upon the approval Of this act au-
thorizing the treasurer and princi-
pal chiei to enter>jnto contract
with Trasher assigning all the
right. title and interest Of the
Cherokees in this claim due under
the Slade- Bender accounting, the
principal chief and treasurer will
enter into a contract with Trasher
making the transfer of the claim.

chased park lots in Vinita under

THE PRYOR CREEK FIRE.

in four months after the contract
is made he is to pay over the bal
ance Of the eighty per cent of the
CLAIM. The Instruments so skill
fully drawn that it protects Trash
or all the way through and not the
Cherokee nation. 1t fits the law
in just such way that the Chero-
kee nation could never collect the
forfeit even if Trasher did fail to
pay over the balance. Another
misleading feature of the act is
that it provides that the money is
to be paid over when it is determ-
ined what is due or to grow due
from the United States. That
means that when an appropriation
of the money is made by congress
and paid over to Trasher he will
keep twenty per cent and pay the
nation the balance. In other
words the whole affair is simply
roundabout way of getting twenty
per cent for making the collection.
The Cherokee nation already
has contract with Senator Butler
for the collection of this identical
claim, and why should it be placed
out for collection again? Would it
not be serving the interest of the
people better for council TO delay
letting the Gain out again for col
lection unril it can be seen what
Mr.. Butler is going to do about
his contrnct2 Let him either make
the attempt or give it up. The
idea Of small band of men sitting
in the Legislative halls Of the Cher
okee aation and voting away $780,.
600, of the peoples money is
no small thing by any means. If
the money is collected Mr. Butler
will get more than 5000, 600, and
then to give some other collector
more than 100000 looks like
rushing the matter too much.
Why not refuse TO entertain any
more propositions for the collec-
ton Of this money and instruct
the delegation TO press Mr.. Butler
into service under his contract, or
let him give tup, one or the other.
Then If Mr.. Butler gives up, next
council can look after letting it
out for collection again. There
must be something in the claim or
so many people would not want
the job OF collecting it. There
will be an attempt on the part of
some to railroad the Trasher bill
through the lower house and even
if such is done the senate will be
more conservative and hold in
check any fraud that might go
through the lower house unno-
ticed.
Capt. L. D. Smith, of Delaware
district, will offer an amendment
to Mr.. Trasher's bill to the effect
that when the eighty per cent of
the claim is paid over in cash the
chief and treasurer will be in
structed To sign over the claim TO
Trasher. This is the best plan and
if it carries it will show in an in
slant whether Trasher is il good |
faith or not.

MISS ATHERTON
is MARRIED
The NOveliSt'S Daughter
United to Albert Rus
sell.

Interesting, though unusually quiet,
on account of a recent death in the
family, was the wedding of Miss Murel
Anterior and Albert Russell, celebrated
last evening at the residence of the
brides aunt, Mrs. Edward Eyre, 22O9
Buchanan street.
When the engagement of the popular
young couple was first announced it was
intended that their wedding should be one
of the events of the social season. The
death of the brides grandmother, Mrs.
Unborn, was the occasion of altering all
plans, and the nuptial ceremony was sim
pie and quiet, with only the immediate
relatives in attendance.
The fair young bride, who is noted for
her beauty as well as her many charming
traits of character, is the daughter of the
well-known novelist, Mrs. Gertrude Ath-
erton. Mrs. Anterior, who makes her
home in London, is at present visiting in
Washington, D. c. Mr.. Russell, the happy
man, is well known in social and business
circles, and holds a responsible position
in the Western Sugar Refinery Company
Rev. Father Ramm of st. Marys united
the happy young couple Miss Frances
Moore attended the bride as maid of
honor and Edward II. Sheldon officiated
in the capacity of best man.
The bride looked sweet and charming
in a gown of white satin. There is to be
no honeymoon, and Mr.. and Mrs. Russell

THE CITY HALL Is
FINALLY COMPLETED
FORMAL TRANSFER OF THE
HUGE PILE.
1t Has Been in Course of Construction
Twenty-Seven Years and Cost
$5,723,79 IS.

The City Hall has at last been turned
over to the Board of Supervisors as COM
plete. The cornerstone of the big build
ing was laid February %, 1872, and the
building was practically completed last
year. It's total cost was s., 1923, 1874 IS, and
the total receipts of the commission from
all sources were 5,724, 03S 9S. Upon retir-
ing from office they left $51 80 in the fund.
1t is said new appropriation could have
been secured from the Legislature, but
the commission determined not to ask for
one.
There were no ceremonies of any char
acter when the historic pile was formally
placed in charge of the Supervisors. A
formal report was submitted giving in
detail a history of the hall from the time
the enabling act was passed in 1870 up
to the. present time. The building has
been occupied as its different sections
were ready for occupancy. The courts
and municipal offices were the first to
desert the old hall. the last occupants of
that building being the various branches
of the Police Department.
Since 1873 the City Hall Commission has
consisted of the Mayor Auditor and City
and County Attorney. The Commission
erS were allowed a salary of 800 per
month, but in recent years they have not
collected the fee.

Not Damaged by Fire.

The underwriters have made an exam
nation of the premises visited by fire on
Stevenson and First streets last Sunday
and found that the first estimates of the
damage done were in excess of the actual
loss. For example. it was supposed that
the American Carbonic Acid Gas Com
pany's plant and machinery, at 10 Steven
son street, was an entire loss. Such was
not the case The companys plant is
next door to where the fire was burning
and escaped without any damage. Had
the blaze reached these premises it would
have done considerable damage, but no
loss was sustained.

The Equitable Life's Statement.

The preliminary statement of the Equt-
able Life Assurance Society, which we
publish in another column, shows that
the assets of the society have now passed
the $3.50 900 900 mark, while the surplus has
reached the enormous amount of $50 000,-
000 During the past year this society
issued new assurance to the amount of
$40 900 COO and now has outstanding as
surance to the amount of almost billion
dollars, the actual figures given in the
statement being $3.50 ,000,0 00
The successful record of this society
during 1898, as shown by its preliminary
statement, should be cause of great
qualification to the policy holders of the
society, and, as matter of fact, to all
who believe in life assurance, and that
includes the great majority of people.
