Almost One Million
Dollars In One Year

Almost one million dollars Can you
realize what it means? And yet that
is the amount of money that the OF.
tumwa post office handleds during the
year Of 1906. Postmaster F. w. Will
son has just completed set of fig.
ures which show wildly how vast IS
the volume of business in the local
post Office.
Few people realize what business
institution the post Office is. When
the facts are put before them in cold
figures it really staggers them. Moth
ing the receipts for each year for the
community than increased postal re-
ceipts.
The receipts last year were much
larger than the year before and al
most twice as large as they were in
1894. The comparative figures snow
ing the receipts 70 reach year for the
last thirteen, show that only in one
year of that time have the postal re-
ceipts failed to increase, that being
in 1896. There can be little doubt
about the steady progress of city
whose postal record reads like this.
The following figures will give to
the reader an idea of the great volume
of business which steadily flows
through the local postal channels:

COMPANY OWES NOT ANY MAN

Without offering any apologies on ac-
count of an unintentional error due to
misinforniation, the Times wishes this
week to correct mistake appearing in
it's last issne, wherein it was said that
one Otto Taubert had extended the time
for final payment on the Wabuska Cop
per Mines company's holdings. 1t now
appears to the satisfaction Of this paper
that the Wabuska Copper Mines conf
pany does not owe red farthing on its
property and is clear of membranes of
whatever nature.
The magnanimity Of Mr.. Taubert, as
incorrectly reported, seems to have pre-
maturely made its appearance. There
fore, we feel obliged to apologize for
hat mistake, also.

Cnalrman Davis Of the Publicity Commission Has
Awakened Interest in the Possibilities of Yerington

New York City capital is in the field
with a proposition to erect a custom
smelter in the Yerington district for tbe
treatment of the product from the var
ious mines.
Through the efforts of Sam Davis
CHAIRMAN OF the state publicity commits
sion, the attention of the Harlem;tes
was called to the opportunities for smelt-
ing operations here. They, in turn, in
quired into the proposition and stand
ready to back the enterprise with their
experience. Some of the parties inter
ested are men we'll known in the copper
industry, among whom might be men,
toned Jack Wilcoxen, a millionaire op
orator of Butte, formerly of Virginia
City, Nevada
l.. c. d. Eakins of II Battery Place,
New York City, is the man who is at
the head of the scheme to erect a Gus
tom smelter here. 1t is he who is now
in communication with Mr.. Davis to as
certain certain facts concerning the ad-
visibility of investing his capital here in

MONEY TICHTNESS HAS
NOT AFFECTED Pine
GROVE

A. Womack returned the first of the
week from trip to Pine Grove and re-
ports the old camp scene of ni::ch ac-
tivity. The financial depression seems
not to deter the operators of that section
who are making preparations fer exten-
sive work during the coming year.
Fish Bros. have begun the erection of
a four stamp mill with which to treat
their own ores and that of neighboring
properties, and it is expected to have the
plant in operation within few weeks.
The Messrs. Fish have some fine show
ings OH their ground, and as soon as
their mill is in readiness it IS their in
tention to put OH large force of men i'll
the different workings now started on
their acreage.
Gregory and Ball made a rich strike
OH their property i'll Scott canyon this
week, the rock being d free milling ore
and running up into the hundreds.
Mr. Womack states there are several
properties that have very encouraging
showings, and that most of the compan-
les are going right ahead with develop
ment work, seeming not at ali embar-
assed by the financial stringencv.

smelter capable of treating 200 tons ef
copper per day. Mr. Eakins' most re-
cent letter is dated November 19, 1907.
1t is now in the hands of the editor OF
the Times. Its contents shows that the
writer is not only willing but eager to
become identified with the development
of tile Yerington district. In his com
munication, Mr.. Eakins asks many perti-
nent questions which will be answered
forthwith. They i'll themselves cover
every phase of smelling operations and
show the writer's close acquaintance
with the subject. In concluding his let
ter to Mr.. Davis, Eakins says:
Jack Wilcoxen, from Virginia City,
who is an uncle of mine, has been on
here and lie tells me that the YeTington
copper ore has about the same makeup
as that from the Butte district. If this
be true, the smelter of which l write
will smelt the ore to blister copper,
without roasting, without coke or fiux at
cost of two dollars or less, per ton; a
plant capable of smelling 200 tons day
could be erected at a total co of less
than $50, Co.,
