Postmaster General James is about to adopt
a plan for transmitting small sums through
the mails, which to newspaper subscribers and
other persons whose Indebtedness often in
cludes fractions of dollar will be very well
come. 1t is an Improvement on the new En-
glish system and consists of postal order on
which there are three columns of figures
dollars, tens and units. There are two demon
nations, one with maximum of $3.50, the
other of $5. The postmasters who issue them
will designate the amount they call for by
punching out the figures required. They are
to be sent like fractional currency, the govern
ment not being responsible for them any more
than for any other money sent by mail. A
record of the amount and date of issue is kept
upon "stub" by the postmaster issuing them,
but not of the name of the person buying them.
In order to prevent their use as currency =
they cease to be redeemable, three months af
ter issuing them. They will cost from two to
five cents each, according to the amount.

The Charles Dickens.

The Yankee Fork Herald gives the
following very graphic description of
this famous mine:
The lower tunnel is in about 900
feet, but, as the foot wall has not been
reached, the work is being prosecuted
south of it where two cross-cuts arc
being run. The one where most Of
the work is being done is now in 80
teet, showing that the mine is IS feet
wide and no signs Of wall vet. as
the face of the cross-cut is again in
stringers of first-class ole, which will
undoubtedly develop finely, as have all
the bodies passed through. We only
refer to ore going into the hundreds
when we say "frst-class," as all the
rock passed through will pay we'll by
milling process.
A vein of free gold ore foot wide
is being followed west in the cross
cut that will yield 81 500 per ton. 1t
is supposed to be the same vein work
ed near the surface, and which has
yielded SO much bullion by arastra
process during the past four years. In
1t alone there is beyond doubt an i'm
mense amount of money, as where it
is being worked in the tunnel the depth
from the surface is 275 feet. Progress
in the south drift, which has added
enormously to the value of the mine
is anxiously watched, because it has
thrown IN sight so much high grade
ore that still greater discoveries can
very reasonably be expected. The
nine Is. to sum up, developed length
OF 900 feet under ground, and at the
depth of 215 feet shows width of
% leet, with favorable prospects that
the width is much greater. The rich
est vein Is from to S feet in width in
the tunnel, but averaging it at 3 feet
for the distance Of 815 feet shows
over one million dollars clear money
in sight. When all the ore in tie
mine is considered, there is no doubt
but that the Charles Dickens, as soon
as there is mill running on it, will
become world renowned as one of tie
great bonanzas, which is already said
by the most thorough, practical min
| ing men who have examined it, and is
lauded and admired by all.

been struck in the tunnel. When this
tunnel reaches the point under the dis
covery shaft it will be LOO feet be-
low the surface.
The tunnel Of the Post Boy is all in
gray copper ore of splendid quality
The ledge is six feet wide.
The Silver wing is producing good
ore, which is being shipped to the
smelter, which is running right along,
producing 80 tons Of fine bullion Der
day, and receiving ore faster than they
can work it. About $50 men are at
work around the smelter and at the
mines, and the little town of Bay
Horse is quite lively place. The
mines steadily improve in size and
richness with depth, and it is no ex.
aggeration to say that that distric,
will soon be classed among the lead.

From the Herald.

Five salmon have passed through
the giant in the claims of the Yankee
Fork Consolidated G. NJ. Co. The
miners caught two of them. In order
to insure safety to the pipes, it was
found necessary to put trap in the
ditch, which deprives the boys of lots
of fun.
The man who was so badly used
up by bear while on his way to Mid
die Fork short time ago, all account
of which we have given, has since
died from the effects Of his wounds. so
we are informed by George Parody,
who arrived from Weed river a few
days ago.
Myron Crafts, Esq, assayer at the
Custer mill, assayed and estimated the
value of $4,000 of the bullion, which
was sent to London, where it was
again tested. The difference was only
81 so in the whole amount, which may
be the difference in the scales used.
BAY HoRsE--Ore is being extracted
from the River View right along. The
tunnel taps the vein at the depth of
400 feet, and there is another running
to tap it the depth of 700. The vein
is of good width, and the ore extract
ed an excellent quality
Three eighthour shifts are at work
in the Juliet tunnel, making rapid
progress.
