DAILY OVERLAND MAIh.

Post Master General Holt thinks economy
demands a reduction of the overland mail
service. He would have the semi-weekly
service on the great st. Louis and Memphis
route, which is rapidly becoming the chief
postal highway between the Atlantic ana
the Pacific, reduced to weekly one, and the
other overland services either abolished or
the deficiencies on them paid cut of the Ma
tionai treasury, as he thinks they may more
properly be considered enterprises of national
necessity and policy than as legitimate ex-
tensions of postal facilities. Perhaps it
would be right enough that these routes
should not be made charge upon the postal
revenues, bat it would be unwise to abolish
or cripple them. Since economy is the plea,
the best policy to pursue in this connection
is that already urged by California, first
through her newspapers, next through her
able young Governor, now through her Leg
islature and Congressional representative.
Abolish the costly ocean services AMI such
overland ones as are not imperatiyely de-
manded, and concentrate the patronage OF
the government and people epon daily
overland mail. If the total annual cost Of
the six Atlantic mail routes-the two ocean,
and the San Antonio, st. Louis, Stockton
and Placerville routes-be $2,184,797, and
the receipts only $339,747 &C, showing loss
to the Department of 81, ,s44: $40 &c, abolish
all the St. Louis and Memphis and Salt Lake
routes, and establish upon one at least q
daily or tri-weekly mail. The annual cost
of these two routes is $920,000. Responsi-
ble parties are offering to contract to carry
daily mail over the st. Louis and Memphis
route for $l,0eO,OO0. Give them the con-
tract. Make the trans continental postage
on all letters ten cents, and allowing that
there was no increase in the aggregate re-
ceipts over the figure presented above, the
two overland mails, one q daily, the other
weekly, would save the Department $S64,
797. They would cost ST ,32C, ,00o, and the
annual deficiency would be decreased from
81 ,S44, ,949 to $500, ,253, which amount might
be charged to the public treasury as sug-
gested by the Post Master General. A COM
pany having daily mail contract would be
sure to have line of passenger coaches on
the route and stations at convenient dis
tances where travellers could procure all
needed rest. This would diFest the overland
Journey of its terrors, and eventually turn
the stream of travel to and from the old
States across the continent, making grand,
secure highway, such as would reconcile US
to the lack of Pacific railroad if it did not
lead to the construction of that important
work.

Schnigle Fritz, observing young lady
chief, startled her by announcing his unwel-
come presence with this question: "Why is
that note like the nightmare ?" There could
be no answer to such an atrocity from the
maiden, so our lmperturbable friend replied
-"Because it is the ink you-buss under
cover" He Immediately vanished in chok-
ing fit of laughter, and has not since been
seen.

THE SILVER REGroN.-fn spite of the cold
weather in Western Utah, new discoveries
of valuable metalliferous veins are being
made constantly, and at places widely sepa-
rated. The numerous gold and silver veins
already proved to be rich extend from the
mountains around Steamboat Valley to those
along the Carson river, some distance south
and southeast of Genoa, embracing an area
not less than forty miles hong by fifteen or
twenty miles broad. The mineral region of
Western Utah is peculiar. A succession of
perfectly level valleys, some of them con-
tanning lakes and streams and adj more or
less alkaline, are circumscribed by ranges
of bald mountains and in these ranges are
the lodges of quartz which have already ex-
cited so much attention, stretching for raiees
in direct line, sometimes forming the en-
tire substructure of isolated points and
cropping out ia such bold masses as Califor-
mia quartz never exhibits. The auriferous
gravel is cenEHed to a few ravines and hills.
Tire aaaor atad expense of prospecting the
hedges are very great, and unless the outcrop
happens to yield well, thousands of dollars
may be sunk in merely ascertaining whether
the rock contains precious metals in any
quantity. 1t follows from this that every
adventurer who will rush to Silverland the
coming spring, need not expect to strike a
lead which he can sell at once for $l00, 900
to Rothschld.

The An3ericaa, in defending the right of Mr..
GARRETT to speculate in the stock of the Company
of which he is the President, SAYS:
eff one of the proprieors of newspaper should be
President of Copper Mining Company, can no
why that should debar the other members of the
firm from buying stock the faith of the published
opinion of their President associate
The purport of this Illustration is obvious. 1t
is the sinister design of The american to insin-
nate, what it dares not assert, that while this
journal manifests its hostility to certain stock
operations in which it has no pecaniary interest
it may very possibly adopt different course in
relation to speculations with which its editors
have some connection. 1t is scarcely necessary,
we hope for US to repe the random and blunder-
ing imputation. When it is seen that we have
suffered columns to be used for the purpose
of initiating or depressing the stock of this or any
other market, or when it is known that we hold
share OF stock of any description whatsoever, or
are parties to a contract for the sale or purchase
of any, it will be time enough for The American
to inquire whether we have taken an undue ad-
vantage of our position. If, under such circum-
stances, it ever discovers that we have kept back
from the public information which we ought to
have given it. or have deliberately made any
statement which is not both true and impartial,
we shall then submit ashamed and in silence to
such structures as The american may choose to
make In the meantime, we can afford to dsre-
gard the inuendoes which have been levelled at
us, but which have flown so wide of the mark.
1t is not incumbent on us to explain to the public
the relations of the proprietors of this journal
towards 1t or each other, further than to say that
the editors VINO control its columns and direct its
course have no connection immediate or remote
with any other business or company. nor are they
in any way interested in the rise or fall or nerma.
