His Dcpartinent--An Ideal Scrv-
leo Looked Forward to
In the Future.

WASHINGTON, Dcc.6 --Postmaster-Gen-
eral Wanamaker summarizes the re-
suits achieved by his department MS fol-
lows:
Five million dollars added to the
gross revenues; the deficit reduced near
ly million; money orders increased
two-thirds, or from 1O,070 to 1e,0s9;
eighty-two cities supplied with free de-
livery; 2,790 new offices established;
( e63 offices advanced to the presidential
grade; 16, $50, 900 miles Of additional serv.
ice; 1880 new mail routes established,
embracing So 900 miles of new service;
ocean mail service extended; and pneu-
matte tube service introduced. in the
last four years 5.O5l new mail routes
have been established, traversing %, 800
miles, the number of post-otiiccs has
grown by over 5000; the number of
money order offices over s, 200, and the
number of free delivery offices has
almost doubled. The new foreign mail
service contracted for applies to eleven
lines, comprising, when completed,
forty-onc ships necessary to make the
service contracted for frequent enough
and quick enough to comply with the
terms agreed upon.
The report closes with the following:
my ideal for the American postal
service is n system modelled upon dis
trict plan with fewer offices and under
thorough supervision. By this means
at least 10000 offices could be aban-
doned that produce nothing to the de-
partmcnt In the place of every ahol.

STRIKE AT COLORADO SPRINGS.

Considerable excitement exists at
Colorado Springs on account Of the
discovery of Gold at Green Mountain
Falls, sixteen miles west of there, in
the Ute Pass, on the line of the Col
orado Midland. 1t has long been
known that gold existed in Ute Pass,
but it has never been found In paying
quantities. A month ago Prof. Kim
ball, of Sacramento, CAL, whose in-
vention of magnet to discover the
presence of mineral threatens to rev.
olutionize mining, visited the pass
and located heavy veins of both gold
and silver in and adjacent to the
town. The town company was skep-.
tical, but to prove the truth of his
declarations sunk two or three shafts
at points he indicated. In every
case they found well defined veins,
and assays made today give returns
of $4o0 to $500. Five ounces OF
rock pounded in a mortar and re-.
duced by chemicals showed very
fine button of pure gold. Prof.
Kimball declares that within
the town limits is the greatest silver
deposit in the state. Encouraged
by their Investigations thus far, the
company Is preparing for extensive
developments under the direction of
Mr.. Kimball. Already the hills in
the neighborhood have been pros
