Inefficient Mail Service.

There has never been a time that we
can recollect when the mail service of
Montana was as inefficient as it is at
present. When the railroads are blockaded
mail is not expected over those roads; but
the complaint we make is Of inefficient
service when the trains are running. The
local service seems even worse than the
through service. The Miner is sent here
by express and arrives generally day
sooner than the Intern Mountain which
was published the day before the Miner

at once. Two weeks ago the New North

Pacific was miscarried, and that issue and
