Miners New Star Route Contract.
LETTER OF SENATOR VAN WICK TO THE POSTMASTER
GENERAL.

Miners New Star Route Contract,
LETTER OF SENATOR VAN wYcK TO THE POSTMASTER
GENERAL.
Senator Van Wyck has addressed letter to
Postmaster General Gresham in relation to the
contract made by the Post Office department for a
daily mail service from Fort Niobrara, Neb., to
Deadwood, Oak. The letter says the post Office
committee OF the Senate at the last session did not
consi1er 1T necessary to act the matter as they
concluded the Postmaster General would not order
the service now that the facts were manifest.
Nothing further was heard OF the matter until he
was informed that contract was made for daily
service from Fort NiObrara to Deadwood, because
portion OF the Nebraska delegation had asked
for It, After the bitter and costly star route
rience OF the last two years he could not believe
that the contract bureau would now seek shelter
behind that excuse. Senator Van Wyck claims
that the routes run through the lands OF the
Sioux Indians, and that they are not clamorng for
daily mail. One member Of the Nebraska dele
CATION who recommended the service had pre-
Recommendation in the case OF certain routes
involved in the present criminal prosecution, and
The net receipts from the various offices on the
route would not exceed $3.50 quarterly, While the
daily service proposed is to cost $13 per annum
based upon consideration OF the settler. That was
the old star route cry" He says, in conclusion: !:
.By strange and grim coincidence this contract
Is let to JnO. r. Miner, now and for two years on
trial for star route frauds with another star
defendant, Mr.. Vale, also now on trial, as secu-
department should ask his acquittal from the
present Indictment, with compliment and
thanks"
WHAT GIN. ELMER SAYS
Second Assistant Postmaster General Elmer,
when asked about the Van Wyck letter to-day by
STAR reporter, said that he guessed the letter
would keep. It was INTENDED, he thought for
home consumption, but owing to the scarcity OF
news it had been given wide publicity: He said
that the NiO0rar route would justify the ex-
pendture, and when railroad company could af-
ford to spend 81, 600 mile In constructing road
the government might be willing to pay $40 q
mile for mail route.
"The figures OF this office show" he continued,
that In spite OF the increased mileage OF the star
route service in Nebraska this year the service is
service for the whole state OF Nebraska cost
$50, ,082, and this year 1t will cost 1896 O66."
devil was the lowest bidder and Bob Ingerson the
bondsman, we would have to award the contract.
