SPECIAL TO THE sESTINEL.l
WASHINGTON, June 6,-The Star Route.
about which Senator Van Wyck has been
enlightening the Postofice Department, is
one that he called the Senate's attention to
last Winter. Deadwood is already sur-
piled with . daily mail from Pierre, on
the Chicago 4 Northwestern. and from
Sidney on the Union Pacific. A year ago
Congress passed an Act creating two more
routes to Deadwood, one from Chamber
lain on the Milwaukee st. Paul road and
Missouri River, and the other from Mo
brara on the Sioux City and Pacific road.
The Postotice Department advertised
for proposals for carrying the mails over
these routes. Thereupon Van Wyck
got . resolution of inquiry adopted, and
in connection with it he showed the
absurdity Of the routes. He wished to
get the Act creating routes repealed, but
was told by the Postofice Committee that
that was unnecessary. After the exposure
had been made the Postmaster General
would not think of letting contracts for
the routes. The matter dropped there,
and the Senator thought it had dropped
for good. In the meantime there had
been . change in the Postmaster General
ship, but none in the contract office. Two
days ago Van Wyck learned that the con-
tract for conveying the mail on the route
from Niobrara to Deadwood had been let
at $13, 600 year to Miner, one Of the de-
PENDANTS in the present Star Route trial,
and be promptly had a warm interview
with Chief CLERK Lyman Of the contract
| office, and q very satisfactory interview
| with Postmaster General Gresham, who,
| the Senator believes, will suspend the con-
tract. As stated above, the Deadwood
| people have daily mails from two points
already, and the aggregate postal revenues
| arising within four miles Of Niobrara do
| not amount to 5000 . year. There are nc
| white settlers between, and for most Of the
way there cannot be until the Indian title
is extinguished. 1t appears that Senator
Henderson and Representative Valentine
asked to have the service put on.
