Tn addition to the expenses above shown for September, 1897, MT. Hillhouse claims $11 for postage, car fare and hire for 1ani- tor which, if allowed, will reduce the bal ance due by him to $65. .55. MT. Hllhouse has produced statements showing that for the months of August and September, 1S93, there were expenses attached to his ofhce and other duties amounting to $S1s9, TOT which he was paid nothing, because the appropriation for that year had been ex- hausted by his predecessor. For this sum he showed vouchers for but $16. and for the month of July, 1895, his expenses amounted to s34 .18 for which he has received no pay from the treasury. Of this sum he pro- duced couchers for $11. The vouchers In these unpaid claims amount to but $27.
 Receipts and Disbursements
 At my instance he produced statement showing receipts and disbursements by him under the several provisions of law Authorizing him to collect fees from appli- cants for certificates as mine foreman. This statement is attached and asked to be considered. This shows that the receipts, including amount of $11.50 received from his predecessor, amount to $5O45o and the amount accruing to the several boards of examiners provided for under the acts is s552. He informs me that when there was not enough collected to pay the examiners the sum received and on hand if any was pro rated and that he has nothing on hand now from this fund. His statements in writing are filed with this report.
 I examined the detailed statements of the assistants as to expenses. These seemed reasonable and correct so far as was able to determine. and were in proper order.
 Nr. Hillhouse seems mt to have eye- dicted any system of keeping his expense accounts. Want of system seemed tc stand out in bold relief throughout the entire ex- animation. Many of the vouchers exc hhitaA bx him 1AaA anaansaA ostas nAAsas
