A Postal Change.

BY a ruling Of the Postoffice Depart
ment made June 4, 1900, and made
public last Friday. a registered letter
or parcel may be reclaimed or recalled
by the sender at. any time before its
delivery.
This is a decided Improvement on
the old law as followed by postmasters
throughout the country. Heretofore
when a letter or parcel was handed in
to be registered it had to be sent to its
destination as addressed. or be held in
the postoffice until a process Of red
tape had been gone through that would
give a person the fever and ague if he
wished to reclaim the letter or package,
or had made a mistake in the address.
Under the e ruling a person may
reclaim a registered letter or package
that he does not wish delivered by ap-
plying to the Postmaster, who, upon
receipt Of the register blank and being
satisfied as to the identity Of the sender,
will deliver the desired register to its
original owner.
The Postoffice Department Is grad
ually eliminating the old red tape
methods in use for SO many years,
thus accommodating the general public
and making the duties Of the post
master less arduous.

OLINGHOUSE MINES.
What a Correspondent to the
Journal Says:

journal Days
Our Olinghouse correspondent sends
us the following red hot stuff from the
big Washoe county gold camp.
The Slip mill is shut down for want
OF water.
Water Is getting low and placer min
ing is about over for the season.
Six more houses have been built In
the gulch within the past fifteen days.
All the claims In the district now be-
ing worked have large bodies Of ore at
hand.
The Ora mill is running on forty tons
Of ore that will net $4,000. 1t is from
the Cabin No. 2, in which Louis Della
Piazzi Of Reno Is chief owner. The
value is known by a sample run
The output for this season so far as
can be shown by receipts from mints
and bullion buyers like Selby amounts
TO $4,000 in round numbers. Still
there are no foreign capitalists inter-
ested.
Louie Della Piazzl mas struck out
for Reno. He took with him a two
ounce vial of coarse gold that he NOR
tared out in hall q day from rock he
took from the Cabin No. ,. He owns
three quarters Of this claim.
Fred Younghans has finished a
forty-day run. He has between $500
and $500 worth Of dust and. nuggets as
2 result Of his brief labors. When a
Central Pacific locomotive engineer
lays off from a IS a day job to go min
ing, he must be sure he has a pretty
good thing.
w. C. Villains. father Of the camp,
has made the most sensational strike
in the history Of the place. On his
Cabin claim he has broken into sixteen
inches OF magnificent ore that shows
wire gold clear across, -Four inches
Of the formation is knit together with
yellow metal. A pound Of IT was Sc
lected and SIS worth Of gold mortared
out Of It. The rest OF the formation
runs $50 a ton. The strike was made
Tuesday evening. and he has $4,000
in sight.
Olinghouse is one OF the very few
camps that have been put on a paying
basis without foreign capital. The
claims are owned by poor men and
they have developed them by hard
knocks. A year or 50 ago, when the
camp was young, several experts came
in and gave the formation a black eye.
They said it wouldn't 90 down. Since
then Proctor and Allen have sunk 200
feet On their ledge. ana they still have
twenty inches Of $40 ore.

The scholastic literature of the world
is about to receive n valuable addition
in a pathological work from the pen of
Father Hare Of Aberdeen. Iowa. The
idea of the work is to develop each Of
the 100 Aryan root words forward
through the Sanscrist, Greek, Latin
and Germanic languages to its English
~derivative. Every scholar will at once
appreciate its enormous value. In some
instances more than 1000 English
words are brought up from one Aryan
root. The book will be published in
the form of a large atlas. so tina each
root, with its developments, will oc-
cupy a single page. making n volume
of more than 100 pages. This work Is
now ready for the publisher. In mag
nitude it must take rank as one or the
greatest literary achievements of the
century, and as the product of a sin
gle pen it is only equaled by the work
of Noah Webster in the production of
his great dictionary. Father Haire, the
author, is a gentleman of exceptional
scholarly attachments and has practic-
ally devoted his long life to the study
of his subject and the compilation of
his fncts.-Sioux City Journal.

LIE ABOUT THEIR AGES.
One Serious Difficulty that Confron;s Cen
Gus Enumeratofs.

The most difficult task of a census
enumeration Is to obtain information
about the ages of people. 1t is as
sumed that a woman may lie about her
age and n man about the fish he
catches without committing sin. but
the phenomenon goes still further.
Young people usually want to be con-
sidered old, m~iddle-aged people report
themselves younger than they are and
very old people will add a few years
to their actual age. Children under
fifteen throw their ages forward to six
teen. girls stretch a point to be eighteen
and boys nineteen or more always like
to be considered men. Therefore the
age returns of n census are usually
more incorrect than any other. and 1t
Is impossible to determine accurately
whether the average duration of life is
increasing or decreasing. 1t is impOs-
sible. for the same reason, 10 ascertain
the death rate, the lumber of men Of
military age or the number of women
capable of bearing children. For ex-
ample, 1t Is interesting to know wheth-
er the period of child bearing among
the different classes of people is longer
or shorter; whether negroes die earlier
than whites: whether the laboring part
Of the population live longer than those
Of ~sedentary occupations: whether
err or older element of society; whetn-
er he employment of children is in
creasing or decreasing, and many other
estimates whose value is threatened
by the inaccuracy of the g statistics.
