Ever since the blizzard ceased"
says Minnesota paper, "work has
been going forward on excavations
for the purpose OF discovering the
Postotlice building. A shaft is being
sunk through the snow which it is
hoped will strike It, but ii it should
not those in charge will drift north
and south till it is located. Grave
tears are entertained that the Post
master may have become respondent,
AS he has not been heard to holler
since early in the storm. He must
certainly be quite lonesome, at least,
as his only companion was the office
cat, and he very likely has been forced
to use her for fuel before this time, as
the lock boxes and registered letters
must be exhausted ere now. Parties
who live out on Eden Prairie report
that they had no difficulty in finding
their way home during the storm, as
they kept hold OF the telegraph wire.
We're it not for the extreme dryness
OF our Minnesota air the friends OF the
Postmaster would be very uneasy lest
when he Is recovered he should be
found frozen as stiff as railroad tie. "

The San Francisco Post says that a
mining engineer OF Virginia City has
compiled statistics in reference to the
Comstock lode which are interesting.
The calculations are made from the
year 1860, and are said to be as cor
rect as can possibly be obtained. The
total product of the mines is 1905. .000,-
600. Out Of this there has been paid
in dividends TO stockholders 1926, ,43l,-
076. The value placed OH slime and
tailings, which all went to the mill
owners, is S35 900, 900 The total ex-
penditures foot up $l6S, ,403, ,9i3. The
amount of Assessments levied is fig
ured at $57 7,6l5 800, which leaves a
balance in favor of the dividends Of
$S,Sl5, $40. The amount expended
above assessments, and which must
be credited to proceeds of mines, is
$l10, 7SS, ,4S3. On the whole the show
ing is said to be most favorable, and
yet deducting the $35 100000 which
has drifted into the pockets of the
managers, it has cost shareholders
exactly $l6S, ,403 1888 to produce $780,
431 ,076. 1t all depends ON what view
one takes of the statement, which has
been prepared after lengthy research
and an immense amount OF figuring.
