POSTAL

the felirOau MAIL ooi'iSo vi WIG
eighth district, was in town last Tues
day and spent the day procuring in
formation relative 10 matters per-
tanning to his department in this Sec
ton. He expressed himself as decid-
| edly of the opinion that a mail route
should be established at once between
Eureka and Belmont. He thought
that Eureka should be the radiating
point for all the mail routes south of
here aud that a number of short
routes at present established between
other points should be discontinued.
We predict that Mr.. Ammerman's
visit to Eureka will be productive Of
beneficial results in postal matters in
this section. The Courier, in answer
to our inquiry why the department
had omitted to establish the route be.
tween this place and Belmont, says:
"A move for the omission , has been
made in due form, aud through the
proper channel. For the convenience
and interest of our people here. we
trust that our representatives at Wash
ington will give the matter attention at
once. II, III changing the service by
way of the Eureka and Palisade rail-
road, the contractor is confined to the
time schedule that he should, the time
between here and Battle Mountain can
be- shortened "a hours, which would
prove a valuable consideration to our
business community. Now that the
postal service from the Central Pacific
railroad to Belmont has been properly
presented to the Department., there is
hut little. If any. doubt, but what tho
change will be made, as the 3 to the
Government will be no greater than at
present."
