out a single stoppage or break,

bullion of a good grade, or a little
over 10000 pounds per day.
Supt. Greene is well pleased with
the run; although this is small
sum to what this part of the
country could do if silver and
lead were at the legitimate value.
There is to be a force of ten men

is to be force put on that mine.

railroad and silver-everything
else too-way down to half where
it should be our country can not
afford to run all the time; espec-
tally in winter. Clayton is quiet

New Postal Scheme.

WASHINGTON, November 9.-The
president has approved the amend
ment to the civil service rules
which will result in being many
postmasters and their employees
within the classifid service. The
addition is as follows: "And
whenever, by order Of the post
master general, any postoflice shall
be consolidated with and made
part Of another office where free
delivery is established, the en-
ployes Of the office thus consolidat-
ed whose names appear on the rolls
OF said office approved by the post
office department and including
the postmaster thereof, shall from
the date Of said order, be employ
ed OF the said free delivery office
and the person holding on the date
of said order the position Of post
master at the office thus CONSOLE
dated with the said free delivery
Office, may be assigned to any posi-.
ton therein and given any appro-
pirate designation under the CLASH
fication act, which the postmaster
general may direct"
1t is the intention Of the post
office department. to consolidate
many offices throughout the coun-
try. This consolidation will not
necessarily do away with the office
but will establish them as stations
of some central point. The de-
partment intends to make expert
ments in this direction and ii they
preve satisfactory the system will
be largely extended.

HIS CAP WON HIM THE RACE
Denver Jockeys Ingenious But UnsPorts

Denver Jockeys Ingenious But Unsports-
manliIxe Trick.
At trotting race recently in Brigh'
ton, Col, all the neighboring towns
had a candidate entered, and feeling
ran high. A Denver sport, who was
jockey as well as owner, entered the
best of his string. and bought up every
pool on his steed.
When the Denver man got off in the
lead, says the New York World, he cut
across the track and took the rail be-
fore the other jockeys were fairly I'M
der way. He held his advantage around
the turn and along the backstretch, but
as he made the last turn and squared
away for home, his two nearest COM
petitors began to gain on him.
Down the long stretch the Denver
man was still in the lead, but they
were crowding him fast, and the day
light between the three was growing
less and less every instant. There was
only one chance left, and that very
slim one.'
He remembered that as he was turn
ing into the home-stretch a sudden
gust of wind had nearly carried away
his cap, leaving it barely hanging on
the back of his head. Leaning back
until he almost fell out of the sulky, he
gave his head shake.
1t seemed an age before the cap fell
OFF. The gaudy-colored bit of silk fell
directly between the two horses be-
hind. They SHE'D slightly and then
broke. Before their drivers could
bring them to their feet again the Den
yer man was under the wire

When 1t Is in such a condition, the body

this disease is to purify the blood. The
