PITrsBURG coke operators have agreed
TO advance the price CT coke to 81 50 per
tor after December l, snd the claim is
made that this is the result CT an in
creased demand caused by the election Of
Harrison and Morton. We do not know
how other sections have fsred, but in this
quarter it is, alag, too true, that during
the LAST two weeks heavy supply CT fuel
has been required to tone down the cli-
mate to living temperature.

have somethir g to show fol the experdi-
.uEe According TO statistics furnished
in the annual report Of the third assistant
postmaster general, We lead sIl other ma

OF pcstctiices, exsento CT m2il rouies, miles

The Increase in receipts, as compared
with the previous fiscal year, is So. 857,
5G3, and the increase in expenditure S5es
1874 .326. The extension Of the rsiESsy
mail servics and OF the free delivery ser.
vice are accountable for much Of
the increased cost.
The third assistant postmaster general
mskes some excellent recommf ndaione,
which ought TO receive the favorable coa-
siderztion Of congress. The use -Sfi
pneumatic tubes for the dispatch and re-
ceipt OF msi matter in large cities would
be Of especial advantage in Philadelphia,
ar would caeepen as vel as facilitate de
livery. The substitution of 8 money allow
Rrce for postage stamps to congressman
In lieu Of the trLrking privilege Would
messursbly correct grave souse. But
the mcst important reform proposed is
the reduction of postsge on letters to one
cent, and the uniform charge on third sn
fourth class INA ter of ike rate Of One
cent for every two ounces. No Doubt the
adoption Of this reduced rate would at
first increase the yearly deficit; but, IN
legs the history OF past reductions should
be reversed, the revenues would ultimate
lY be larger at the cheap rate than at the
dearer one.
= II congress should fad time to carry
into effect these proposed changes
1t would be mark CT credit for
Democratic ADMINISTRATION.

E. w. Wynne and Frank Warfeld re-
turned on Monday evening from their trip
on a mining tour to the north fork OF
Salmon River, Idaho. Their destination
was Gibbonsville, about one hundred and
fifty miles southwest Of here, and they rode
or walked the whole distance. Mr.. Wynne
speaks glowingly OF the prospects OF that
region for both quartz and placer
mining, though it's almost inaccess-
ibility will tell against it. There
are a good many people there
now. however, and some OF them are pros
%pering. TIL re is a mill working there,
owned by a Helena company that employs
forty hands about it and their mines.
There is no other than gold mining there,
and the Helena company in question are
crushing ore that runs an average OF SIG a
ton. They have a new roasting process
that enables them to work the ore very
cheaply. The gold OF that districts coarse
in grain and fine in quality, selling at Glib
