AT THIS time of the year we are
called upon to settle our accounts,
and therefore must call upon all
who are indebted to the TIMES to
come forward and settle their little
accounts. To this end bills have
been presented to those indebted to
us, and we hope it will not be nee
essary to urge our delinquents fur
Their. The small amounts owed by
many make quite sum in the ag-
gregate although they amount to
but little to the single individual
delinquent. If you are owing us
and fail to receive reminder, do
not feel sighted; call and settle
anyway.

The Mineral Production for 1890.

The Engineering and Mining
Journal in its annual statistical
number just issued says that the
preliminary statement of mineral
production in the United States in
1899 shows that the total product
ion of metals in the United States
for that year was valued at the
place of production at $413, 738,414,
as compared with $314,255,620 in
1898. OF metallic substances,
the total value of the output was
1901, S72,631. as compared with
$4S3,O91,97O in 1898. Deducting
certain unavoidable Implications,
UGH as coal used in coke or iron in
pig iron, and SO on, the net value
of the mineral production reached
a total of 1891, 424, O82, showing an
increase of 1851, 607 1892 over 1898.
The gold production was valued at
$72, 483, 055, and the silver was 61,-
1859 ounces.
The most important item was
coal, the total of which in 1899 was
no less than 244,5S1,875 tons, the
largest quantity ever mined in a
year and putting the United States
for the first time ahead of Great
Britain as a coal producer.

A Question of Bravery =.

The sad circumstances surround
ing the death of brave Bill An thony
have been useful in certain quarters
in pointing rather captious moral,
to the general effect that nobody
was willing to do anything for
brave Bill until sympathy was
evoked by his death. Indeed it is
pity that one whose soldierly
qualities were so much admired
should consider himself driven to
such extremity. There really was
no necessity for it, try as hard as
one may to prove the bravery" in
some cases, of suicidal escape from
duty. A plain state ment of his
case, in his own words, however
humbling such a course might
seem to him, would, it is absolute
ly known, have resulted in giving
needed work and fair remuneration
therefor. The poor mans mental
condition, (nothing need here be
said about the causes), blinded his
eyes to the truth which so exem-
plary a soldier as he under common
circumstances should not have fail
ed to see.-From the January num-
Der of The National Magazine.

JOHN l.. SULLIVAN once the best
known man in America, has always
been blunt and direct in speech.
Finesse, decentralization, and devil
business are often the marks of weak
ness. Sullivan was never feeble.
1t is true, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, that the some time cham
pion of the prize ring could do a
little verbal hair splitting on occa'
sion. He once admitted in court
that he had often been intoxicated,
but denied that be was ever drunk.
1t was explained by one of his edi-
torial critics in Boston that Sullivan
doubtless agreed with the expert
who insisted that man was not
really drunk so long as he could lie
on the ground without holding on.

GENERALS Roberts and Kitchener

GENERALS Roberts and Kitchener
have arrived in South Africa from
England and expected to speedily
suppress the Beers. We predict
that the suppression will not be as
speedy and light a task as the
English contemplate. England is
considerably exercised over the
many defeats that her arms have
suffered in the Transvaal and is
unfeelingly reprimanding and
censuring her officers. This is not
just. The job of taking the Beers
country away from them is no easy
task, and not since '76 has the Eng.
lish army had much practice at
arms with it's equal. 1t will, doubt
less, take a year or more for Eng
land to complete her steal of the
gold and diamond mines of South
Africa, and she will be in big luck
if she succeeds at all.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that
Senator Stewart has telegraphed
and written to persons in this State
that the stories published about
his abandoning the silver cause are
false, certain papers in this State

him of treachery. The Senator

cause, neither has he abandoned

THERE is pretty direct evidence
that Clarke, of Montana, bought
his seat in the U. S. Senate. There
is hardly a doubt, however, that he
will hold the seat he purchased. He
is a gold bug and the administra-
ton will take care of his case.
Roberts, of Utah, has three wives,
instead of mistresses, as other Con-
gressmen have, and it looks as
though he was going to be prevent
ed from taking his seat in the
House, although elected squarely
by the people of Utah to represent
them. Roberts is a silver man, and
the administration will probably
attend to his case, also. What a
farce this many-act comedy of Life
is!

THE OTHER CAPITALS.
The Size of Washington a Hundred
 Years Ago.

Washington, Dee. 12.-TOday was se- lected as an arbitrary date for the ob- servance of the capitals centennial, because there was no one data that stood out conspicuously for celebration. During the revolutionary war congress had met in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Lancaster York. Annapolis. Princeton. Trenton, and afterwards at New York. In 17S3, Gerry, of Massachusetts, had a bill passed to locate the federal town on the banks of the Delaware or Poto- mac. this was repealed the following year Various sites and cities were af- terward discussed, and it was not until 179O that congress finally decided that the site should be on the Potomac in western Maryland. In January, 1791, Washington appointed the three com

Charleston, S. C., Dec. 1i.-This city

 fourth annual convention of the League of American Municipalities, which will begin a four-days' session here tomorrow. The league, which has

 The accredited delegates from the United States are Lawrence Town send, United States minister to Bel gium; Walter H. Chamberlain, assist ant commissioner of patents, and Fran cis Forbes, of New York, well-known patent expert.

YOUNG FLOODS BRIDE
He Is Ashamed to Keep Her
 in this Country
The Escapade of James Roosevelt 1T. and Dutch Sadie Upon Whom He Showered sAll of His Ancestral Diamonds.

New York, Dec. 12.-J. R. Roosevelt, Jr., and wife, who was known in the gayest resort of the tenderloin district as Dutch Sadie" are preparing to sail for Europe. They want to leave Amer ica until the storm over their marriage and the sensational attempts of the young mans father to separate them have blown over.
 Mrs. Roosevelt was down at the Bo- hemia a couple of nights ago saying good-by to her former friends. Paris is to be the destination of this pair for the present, and then Mrs. Roosevelt intends to go to the Hungarian village where she was born and introduce her American husband, who has an income of $500 a week. It is aid that they fn- tend to lease the village tavern and keep open house in a manner that will make the natives think she has married king. Just to dazzle the inhabitants she intends to wear all the AstOr dia- monds her husband presented to her. One of them is a brooch handed down to her husband through at least two generations. There are fifteen dia- monds in it, and she created a sensation in the Haymarket, the Berlin and the Empire the first night she woreit.
 Dutch Sadie has a marvellous rec ord. She says her father was a com paratively rich man in her native Hun garian village. She eloped with an Austrian nobleman to Paris, The no- bleman dispensed with the marriage ceremony. He met other women in Paris and forgot his peasant sweet heart. Although deserted there she fell into hands that taught her how to win. By the time she was ready to come to America she was an adept. She ap- peared for the first time in the Tender loin about the opening of the Spanish war. It was said at that time that sne had come up from the red light district in Hester street.
 Her existence about the various re- sorts in that hectic flush quarter Is best described as precarious until she met young Roosevelt. They were mar ried at the city hall after the rector at the little church around the corner had refused to perform the ceremony on ac- count of the youthfulness of the groom. Their honeymoon was spent at the Ber- lin in twenty ninth street, of which place she had been an inmate.
 Next came the sensational efforts of the boys father to have the marriage but the young husband es- caped from those who were assigned to guard him, and is back in the dovecote in west eighty-fourth street. Their trip to Europe is to escape all the talk that has arisen over these proceedings. They intend to travel on the continent until all the incidents connected with their marriage and subsequent trials are forgotten.

OCTAVE CAMP
Prospect of Greater Activity in That
 Region.

Octave, Ariz., Dec. 9.-(Special cor mor has been going around for the last week that MT. D. J. Jones, formerly of the Octave Gold Mining Co.,, has bond ed MT. A. Peterson's mine, just north of the Octave property. MT. Peterson was seen yesterday and confirmed the statement. It is also a we'll known fact that MT. Jones has been interest ing eastern capital in this new enter prise and it is reported that MT. Jones will have the mine in operation within the next eighteen months. He will put a number of men to work on the mine immediately. This will be a great help to this section of the country.
 With Congress and Octave mines running at full blast and prospects of Fools Gulch starting up in the near future, make the outlook much bright for all of us.
 The Acton company has had the Peterson mine bonded for some time and expected to commence work soon but the bond expired a few days ago before they were aware of the fact. The company offered MT. Peterson $500 for a thirty days extension, but he refused the offer. MT. Jones was not asleep and took hold of it as soon as he had clear sailing. It has been reported that MT. Jones and the Octave people were not on the best of terms since their trouble some time ago, causing MT. Jones to resign, and this was partly the cause of MT. Jones getting the property from the Octave com- pany.
 Minnie. the youngest daughter of MT. Davis, died this morning. She was years and months old. The re- mains will be taken to Mesa for burial. The sad end was expected hourly. MT. and Mrs. Davis have the sympathy of all Octave. MT. and Mrs. Davis are from Mesa City. Mir. Davis is a mem- Der of the I. O. O. F. of that place.
 Dr. c. H. Johnson for the past several months, company physician for this camp, will leave for his old home in Kansas about the 12th. Dr. Johnson has made many warm friends while here and we all regret to see him go, but hope that he will return in the near future and resume his prac- tice.

He is Pietro Viccio, who claims to have had no part in the af- fair and does net understand why he was stabbed by the friends of the mur- dered Italian.
 Without knowing that he was sup posed to be John Gambola or Gamboli, he made the statement today that he believed Frank Tuscani had been stab bed by either John Gamboli or John Gallo. Viccio is still alive but the chan ces of his recovery are very slight. He has eight bad wounds on his body.
