The figures for 1881 are from the of,
fetal estimate of the Postmaster Gem
eral-
During all these years there was q
deficiency, amounting to 81. 256. 436 in
1861. 1905. 093 in 1866. S6,sl9, Oi9 10
1875. and 1886. 900 in 1881.
The population of the country has
increased only 60 .per cent. in the last
twenty years. while the receipts of the
Postoffice Department are nearly five
times what they were then. The fig
ures are out of proportion. and either
tho people were inadequately served in
1861 or they are too extensively served
in 1881.
There is room In this direction for
newspaper. official and Congressional
investigation.

an historical incident recorded in the.
life of the great Caesar. After having
conquered the Franks and crossed the
Rubicon on his victorious return to
Rome to punish his enemies and re-
ceive the homage of his admirers, he,
with his retinue passed through an
obscure and almost deserted village
on his route. One of his generals
asked him If he thought there was any
rivalry or contention for pre-elninence

The Miner says that the Miners Union OF
Silver Reef held a special meeting last
week, for the purpose of considering the
wages question. and judging from the late
hour OF adjournment, the subject must have
been pretty fully discussed. We learn that
a majority vote decided upon accepting the
Stormont proposition, made some three
months ago, and consequently will hereafter
work for SO so per day instead of 81. Their
are times when it is but fair to attribute a

ness has demonstrated q luck of wisdom Dor

Making a Better showing.

The Star Compan, shipped bullion
fsr the month of April valued at $780,
534 40, gross. This is by far the larg-
est monthly shipment for a long time.
About 600 tons of ore were worked,
and, we are informed, that very close
on TO 700 tons will be put through the
mill this month. when the bullion
output will probably reach $40 900.
To the energy and push of the Super
intendent. Mr.. Faulke, a great deal of
praise Is due for this very favorable
showing. OF course the increased as
say value of the ore taken from the
lower levels also contributed materi-
ally to the result. With ar additional
20 stamp mill the Star mine would
readily produce 500, 900 a month for
several years to ON And yet a
depth of only geo feet has been reach

that has fairer prospects before j it than
the Star. II is being ably and econ-
omically handled by the management

Reported L~ynching.

News reached here a few days ago
that Pete Megley and a man named
Wheeler, were found strung up to a
tree in Long Valley last Sunday.
There has been considerable ill-feel-
ing against Megly and son1e OF his
crowd by the cattle men of northern
White Pine for a long time past, and
we learn that he has been warned to
leave the country some weeks ago,
and fifteen days given him to settle
his business affairs. He declined to
consider the proposition. As we have
no particulars of the affair, save the
bare assertion that the men were
found hanging to u tree AS above
stated, we do not vouch for the cor
RICHNESS of the matter indeed, we are
rather inclined TO discredit the story.
p. S.-Since the above was in type
we learn II was only one OF Mother
Kelly's dreams. The pious Frogtown
dame dreams some wonderfully good
things, and it's pity they don't turn
out true.

The FIRE SUNDAY MORNING.
And the Lesson Il should Teach Us.

And the Lesson Il should Teach Us.
About 3 O'Clock SundayAmorning,
an alarm Of fire awoke our drowsy
citizens from their peaceful slumbers.
On looking out of windows, a huge
blaze was seen in the lower end of
Chinatown. Repairing to the scene,
we found an old building, opposite
Cowley q Cunningham's stable, very
nearly consumed. Morris Lyons, our
night Waterman, and Steve Keogh,
who we're the first on the ground, had
a small army of Mongolians pressed
In as a "bucket brigade" and had the
adjoining building thoroughly satu-
rated with water. The night being
calm the fire was confined to the
building where it originated and fur
Their loss averted. The building was
used as q storehouse for hides aud hay
by Il. f. Taylor and Louis Burgeols,
and their loss in these ar icles is
about $500. There is no clue as to
how the fire originated, but it no
doubt a purely accidental, perhaps
the result of some Bazouk, with a
pipe or cigar, having sought lodgings
in tue hay stored there.
There Is a Wholesome lesson for our
people in this little blaze of Sunday
morning, which we should heed. 1t
Is a fair warning for US to provide
some sort of defense against the fire.
tiend. 1t Is generally the cas- that a
mining town has to burn down once
or twice before any protection against
fire Is provided. Because our TO WI
has fortunately escaped for several
years Is no good reason why We
should expect such good luck Ia the
future. In a town like Cherry Creek.
where so many frame buildings are
going up, aud shavings and refuse
lumber lying around, the danger FROM
fire il always great, particularly a
this sea o of the year, when every
thing combustible /, ready 10 ignite.
Our water supply, rs is well known,
Is too meager 20 fight u tire Uf any
considerable force. Our best and only
safeguard lies In a well-equIpped hook
and Ladder company, and one should
be organized without delay and the
necessary apparatus secured. Half "a
dozen Babcock extinguishers, located
at convenient points along Main street,
would prove a valuable auxiliary.
We have seen the fate of other towns
In this State, similarly situated with
our own, and il in the face of all this
warming, we sit down suplnely and
do nothing TO prevent the threat
ened danger. If our people wake up
some morning to find The work of
years of industry and thrift swept
away and their homes AMI business
houses in ashes, they will have M
one to blame but themselves. Re
member. ian unc Of preventive is
worth a pound of cure.'
