report or the postmaster general is al
most colnpleted, but. OF course. will not
be made public until it is presented to
congress. The report will show that
during the present year there have been
more new postoflices established than
during any year since 1885, In that
year the postofiices throughout the
South, which had been necessarily
abandoned by the government during
the war were re-estahlished, so that par
t1cular year the record fUr new post
offices established exceeded all previous
years.

The number Of new Offices established

which the vast majority were estab-
Hshed IN the Southern states. The larg-
est number OF new Offices in any one
state WAS 230 created il Pennsylvania,

Underwood has made these arrangements
and gone East to settle up the affair with
bis syndicate. How mach truth there is
in the story is unknown, as nothing can
be learned from the company, and the
brokers are at variance in their Cpinion
on the subject.
''Mr. John Blessing, Of Gaylord, Bless
ing Co., puts little faith in the rumor.
La speaking of it, he said that, in his
opirion, it was stock job affair. 'Busi-
ness men, such as are the stockholders
of this mine, are not likely to transact
business in that style, giving an option
free to a syndicate oa their property.
Why, I would take an option on the
property at $50 share if it were given
spread to create a demand for the st ock,
which for the past month or two has
been perfectly dead on the market.
Some stockholders wish to sell out, and
at fancy price. My opinion is that
there is nothing in it,
"Mr. Joe j. Mutually was firmly per-
suaded that the tran-iatien was bona
fde. Il don It t:A9nk. ne said, that the
Granite Mountain people would enter
into OF entertain any such deal, or give
rise to- any such rumor were there not
something in it. AS I understand it. the
property is to be bought upon a sliding
scale of prices. The first $4,000 shares
being bought by January LIST, 1891, at
$50, and afterward different lots at higher
prices. OF course no stockholder is
obliged to sell out, only those who wish
to. 1t is entirely an individual transac-
tion and not one of the company"
Mr. James Campbell said that nos
option had as yet been given. but that
the American Investment Company was
eager to obtain one.
Sowing to the rumor, Granite Noun
tain has shot up in price and is quoted
at 81 above last weeks quotations..
The Gold Coin Deal.
About two months ago, when the Gold
Coin syndicate discontinued it's work
ings, it was surnised that the reason
therefor was lack OF confidence in the
property, but such was not the reason.
and the true facts are as follows: y hon
Charles Clark first thought Of baying the
property he engaged J r. Mackey to
transact the business with owners OF the
various claims, which he did in good
faith, and with the understanding that
he should retain one-eighth interest il
all the property belonging to the syndi-
cate, which consists Of eight full claims.
Later on some misunderstanding arose
between Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Mackey aud
since no agreement could be made salts
faetorily to both parties. Mr.. Clark
closed down the works. and has since
that time been figuring on settlement
with Mr.. Mackey, and within the past
week final settlement was made, Mr..
Mackey accep ing the snug little sum of
$4,000 cash for his one-eighth interest,
and Mr.. Clark Will now, in all preba-
biilty, go ahead with the developments
The development done thus far con-
sists of a double compartment shaft sunk
nearly 200 feet, and the next advance
ment made will most likely be to cross
cut to the vein.
