tion. They are Walter McNichols,
Thomas Jones, William Cannon, w. d.
Morgan and Thomas Williams. A
slight change will be made in several
of the routes, giving the residents u
much better service.
The building in which the new sta
ton is situated has been completely
renovated. The woodwork has received
new coat of paint ana the walls re-
papered. Regular postal racks and
other necessary supplies have been
placed in position. In the front are a
large number of private boxes, which,
it is expected, will be rented by the
business men. There are also two VIM
dows, one general delivery, the other
for money orders. A desk has been
erected for the use of the public, in
case they should desire to direct a
postal or fill out a money order. On
the right side of the building, in
Wymbs' place. is an entrance for the
carriers. on the front windows are the
words, Sub Station, No. l."
The members of the board of trade
are elated over the establishment of an
office on this side, and are also very
thankful to Mr.. Connell for his hearty
cooperation in their behalf. The fight
for the location of an office in West
Scranton started nearly six years ago,
during the administration of President
Cleveland. Attorney C. T.. Daniels,
now president of the board, then it's
secretary, at a meeting held in August
of 1894, introduced a petition praying
for the establishment of an office in
h.,
member of the board was affixed to
the paper, and it was dispatched to
Postmaster General Bissel. 1t is sup
posed that the petition found it's way
to the waste basket, as nothing was
ever heard from it. This. however, did
not discourage Mr. Daniels or the other
members of the board.
CROWNED WITH SUCCESS.
About one year ago. Mr.. Daniels,
having been elected president of the
board, again agitated the idea, which
at last became a reality. President
Daniels appointed Fellows Mason, D.
d. Evans and Jenkin Reese a commit
tee on the establishment of a sub-sta-
ton in West Scranton. The commit
tee at once started to work and drew
up a petition, sending one to Post
master General Charles Emory Smith
and the other to COngre ssman COnnell.
They received a reply from the post
office department to the effect that
they would give the matter their at
tention. In January of the present
year, Inspector German met delega-
tion of the business men of this side
at the club house Of the Electric City
WheelmS and there talked the matter
over. At the conclusion of the meet
ing, Mr. German assured them that he
would report favorably the plans.
A short time afterwards, through the
untiring efforts of Mr.. Connell, word
was received from Washington, d. c.,
that a sub-statiOn would be erected.
Bids were sent in for the location of a
site and the building of Mrs. Jones
selected. The residents of West Scran-
ton are happy over its establishment,
knowing that it means a better SER
vice.

MINING ON ROCK CREEK
Extensive Development in Pro-
gress on the Goldstone.

Reports reache The MINER that there
is much activity on Rock creek, in the
vicinity Of the Chloride mines. The lat.
ter are being developed and operated by
Major John N. Burke for q Tennessee
syndicate. This is said to be one of the
best properties in that section. Major
Burke is responsible for the making OF
some Of Montana's 5 and western IdahO's
best mines.
Within one claim of the Chloride is the
Coldstonr group, consisting Of iive full
claims and on the same vein as the form.
e, likewise the well known T. and + lead.
There are said TO br tour distinct parallel
veins on the Goldstone claims, the main
one Of which has been opened up by
means oi various shafts and has a splen.
did showing, the bottom Of each being IN
ore of the same character as the Chloride.
In iact II is Identical IN appearance with
that and carries an average value ei six
dollars, which is remarkably good consid
rfing the comparatively small depth, but
gives every evidence Of increasing values
as greater depth Is attained.
II is stated that with q croSscut tunnel,
Nv which the mine will I've developed, q
depth oi 500 irrl can be had, which viii
tap the tour lrdgrs known to br on the
property and which average i've to eigh,
feet each In width, increasing as they go
down. There seems To I've every reason
10 believe that with the development IN.
tended hy the promoters, who are Poit.
land parties, the Goldstonr can he made
as good u property a> the Chloride.
The Rock creek district Is receiving u
good share ot attention from mining men
aud promoters at the present time, and
several good finds are heard ot from there.
Al the same time much development, work
ls being done and no doubt several new
producers viii I've added to the list oi mines
~ the near future. The natural advan.
nges oi good roads, plenty oi timber and
water ~ the vicinity, Is an important item
