MINING STATISTICS.
The director of the mint, James P.
Kimball, is circulating circulars of in-
quiry throughout the country in an en-
deavor to collect material for his annual
report on the production of precious
metals in the United States. He hopes to
be able to deduce some approximate esti-
mate of the cost of producing silver under
different circumstances, in order to meet
certain obviously erroneous statements
before the present Royal commission ap-
pointed to inquire into the recent chan-

metals" (London). This cost has been
represented in testimony before that com-
mission as low as one shilling and eight,
pence.
Everyone receiving one of these circu-
lars should contribute the information
asked with the aim to do all in his power
to advance the interests of silver and
those of this wide mining section.
example of Randolph, and are equally
satisfied. Jamestown, a neighborhood
town, tried the private corporation plan,
and the report from there is: "As to
Jamestown, I have heard nothing but
complaints." A still woree report comes
from Galesburg, Illinois, which has pri-
vate corporation works. "They have
been so annoyed by failure of the com-
pany to fulfill its promises, and perpet-
ual litigation, that they would gladly
purchase the works which have been
idle for two years." The experience
with electric lights is similar. Bay City,
Michigan, after paying a private compa-
ny $100 a year for each light for several
years, put in a plant of its own, and now
gets its lights at a cost of $42 a year
each. Lewiston, Maine, for several
yea^s paid a private company 55 to 65
cents a night for lights burning till mid-
night; but it invested $14,500 in a plant
of its own, and now keeps its lights burn-
ing all night at a cost of 14 cents a night.
It uses water power tor generating elec-
tricity.
When the private corporation that
puts up the water or the lightning works
understands its business it mases a large
profit. Professor Ely says: "A gentle-
man who is attorney for one of the large
companies engaging in supplying towns
with water works told me that bis skill
has been taxed in assisting them to pump
natci ivj »* i
Tf Iwwl K,
watered again and again, and it was still
necessary to add to it to conceal the enor-
mous profits."
The conclusion which Professor Ely
dbmes to from his careful observations
is that, when a town wants water-works
or lighting works, it had better put them
up itself.
Tiie Times will not pay any attention
to anonymous communications on any
subject. "Kicker" will therefore know
why his postoffice article was put in the
waste-basket.
That Crosby Wiliiam-Eakins cut of

this morning, bnt Fleury forgot to shave
his chin for the benefit of the Times.
That's a convenient cut we own and
seems to cause much jealousy.

The following information is from the
St. Louis Republican, and will be read
. here with interest just at a time when
our city is combatting the two questions
jreated. That paper says :
"It has become so common a habit in
Missouri and other western states for
flourishing and ambitious towns to con-
tract with non resident persons and com-
panies for the establishment of water
works, gas works, and electric light that

Hopkins university, one of the members
o{ the Maryland tax commission, has
made an investigation of these water
works and lighting contracts in several
northern states and discovered that they
are, almost invariably, costly, annoying
and disappointing. He says : "I have
looked into the experience of a whole
group of towns in New York, and they
tall one story. I have made special in-
vestigation of water supply in several
towns, and I have yet to find one
instance iu which municipal self-
help did not work better than
the benificent patriotism of private cor-
porations. The experience of Randolph,
Cattaraugus county, New York, tells
the story for all." The town wanted
water works, and the lowest bid it could

A BRAVE LADY.
She Endures the I'iUn of a Severe Surgi
cal Operation Without Taking
Chloroform.
Mrs. Schoonmaker, of Creek Locks,
Ulster Co., N. Y., had the misfortune to
entirely lose the sight of one of her eyes,
through an accident, and endured pain-
ful inflammatory action therein for two
long years:—the other eye finally becom-
ing sympathetically affected, her general
health seriously suffering; indeed, she
was a mere wreck, a walking skeleton.
In this terrible strait, she consulted Dr.
David Kennedy, of Rondout. New
York, who told her at once that the
injured eve must be removed. She
quietly but firmly said: "All right,
doctor, but don't give me chloroform.Let
my husband sit by my Side during the
operation, and I will neither cry out or
stir." The work was done and the poor
woman kept her word. Talk of soldierly
courage! This showed greater pluck than
it takes to face a hundred guns. To res-
tore her general health Dr.Kennede then
gave the "Favorite Remedy," which
cleansed the Blood, regulated the Kid-
neys, Liver and Bowels, and thus im-
parted new life to the long suffering
woman. She rapidly gained health and
strength, and is now well. The ''Fa-
vorite remedy is a priceless blessing to
women. No family should be without it.
Your druggist lias it. If not send to Dr.
David Kenhedy, Rondout, New York.
