The Star Route Mail Service.
CHICAGO, July 2Sth, The Inter Oceans
Washington special says: Second Assistant
Postmaster General Brady is causing an in
vestigation into some Of the so-called star
routes in the far West. The object is to cut
off the service at some places where the min
ing population has deserted towns that when
the routes were established were large
enough to justify frequent mails. The Phoebe
route, in southern Nevada, is to be cut down
to less frequent mails, because the miners
have left and gathered at other points about
Leadville, Southern Arizona, the GunnIson
country, etc. 1t is a rather bad season for
some of the contractors. The route from
Santa Fe to Mesilla will lose about $4,000
this season, owing to drought. The Walslie
route, in northern Arizona, is losing also, be-
cause fear of the uprising of the Navajo
Indians has caused suspension of travel in
that section.
