expected to eliminate the dissatisfac-
ton that exists in connection with the
regulations governing the erection of
boxes on rural routes will be submitted
to Postmaster General Payne early
next week.

pointed to make an investigation of
this subject, has been in session nearly

been embarrassed for some time as a
result of the complaints made against
the requirements as to, the use of rural
boxes, the present regulations provid-
ing that one of fourteen designs shall
be used by patrons Of the rural routes.
Complaints have also been made that
a trust controlled the various designs

present plan is that it is troublesome
to carriers where different boxes are
used on a route in that he is required
to carry several master keys.
II the plan that will be recommended
to the postmaster general is carried

that have been made on this account
in the past. The idea favored by the
board is that the department prepare
IA design of box, to be uniform in
lesty, of simple workmanship and that
manufacturers who bid for the work
shall follow such design as may be
agreed upon.
This plan involves the sale by the
department. of boxes to the patrons
diracf TT is estimated that If the
boxes are purchased in 100000 lots
they can be secured for less than a
dollar. This plan is being worked and
will be submitted to Postmaster Cen
eral Payne for his approval next week.

100000 in support Of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition which is to commem-
crate the centennial anniversary of the

terms of the law appropriating It, is to
be returned to the government out of
the receipts of the exposition company
before any dividends are paid to the
stockholders; none of this s5,00o,000 is

ated S250,000 for the erection of a build
ing at the fair in which to house the
government exhibits. When the work

way, however, the chief architect OF
the treasury department. discovered

recommendation 100000 more was ap-
propriated.

ing corps exhibit, $4,000 for the Indian
exhibit. and $4,000 for the Alaska ex-
hibit, have been made, making grand
total of $6.6o0,0OO.

great educational undertaking is not
measured alone by the dollars provided
by congress, for the president, the
cabinet members, the employees of the
government in every department, are
enthusiastic and full of determination
to make the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position the grandest educational
achievement in the worlds history.

TONOPAH EXCITEMENT.
The Recent Strikes in the Fraction and Mizpah
are Wonderfully Rich.

Great excitement prevails at Tonopah
over the recent rich strike i'll the Frac-
tion shaft The ore from the new strike
IS said TO assay high $500 and aver
ages over $500 a ton. The vein in the
all bonanza ore.
Another rich strike is reported on the
300-foot level of the Mizpah in new
ground. The development shaft has un-
covered six feet of ore running as high
as $1,000. Streaks of the same class OF
ore have been found in the Mcnamara
shaft.
The strikes confirm the fact of the vein
crossing the gulch and mean that To-
West. The length of the vein is 37OO feet
fourteen feet wide at one end and eight
at the other. According TO the strike of
the vein the side lines become the end
lines in the various locations affected
and several of the neghbors will begin
prospecting their portion of the fissure
at an early day.

present, writes the Reno Journal as fol-
The developments which have taken
place today only confirm the strike of yes
terday morning. The town has been just
ly agitated Business men and mining
men have realized that the strike means
the future of the camp and means that
what was theory heretofore is now a GER
tainty.
Various theories have been advanced as
to the vein which has been cut. Run
ming through the Tonopah Company's
ground are innumerable veins and it was
supposed that this vein was that of the
Valley View
Frank Golden today went to the bottom
of his lease and the lease at the head of
the MiZpah and took samples from a
vein fourteen feet wide which ran into
the Mizpah at that point. The ore is
identical with that in the Fraction
strike and is in direct line. If this
theory be correct. this vein, which has
never before been uncovered, is 3. ZOO feet
long, fourteen feet wide at one end 162
feet in depth and width unknown at the
other end 237 feet down.
The strike is the greatest ever made in
Nevada since the big bonanza days. Old
Comstockers who worked in the Con. Vir-
ginia and Savage say that those ores
are identical with the ores uncovered In
the Fraction.
