MAIL FACILITIEs.--The is hardly a
county in the State that is worse of for
mail facilities than Placer. For long
time we had but one Post office in the
county; and there are but three in it at the
present time. Michigan city, one of the
largest and most flourishing towns in Pla-
Ger, has none. There are several points
in the county that need Offices. For in
stance: Michigan City, lllinoistown, Rat

would be great accommodation to the
