FIVE MAILS A WEEK
Between the United States and
Havana.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Instead of two
mails a week to Havana as under Span
ish rule, there will be after next Mon
day five, the government having made
a contract with the Plant line of steam
ers for five sailings. The new arrange
ment will place all points east of the
Missouri river within so hours OF Ha-
vana, there being no change of cars
between st. Louis, Chicago, Boston,
New York and other terminal points.
Havana is the distributing point for
Cuba and the increased number of mails
will of course lessen the time to all
other points on the island.

Golden Eagle mine at Central district
came in last night from the mine. He
states that he has twelve men al work
now. The main shaft is down deeper
than any ether property in the district

advisement by the management of the
Golden Eagle company.
Ore is being taken out daily and sacked,
Before long another shipment of ore will
be on the market at Salt Lake. Mr.. Will
bur was asked what he thought of the
mineral of Humboldt county
TO which he replied that within the
bounds of this country some Of the rich
est mineral deposits are found.
Mr.. Wilbur has visited Pueblo mining
district, and after studying the formation
of that section of the country and seeing
the character of the ores as developed il
the mines there opened up, believes thar
the district will come to the front before
long as one of the best gold and copper
producing districts in the ~State.-Sllvel
