be paid to the credit of Miss Hayes,
1,000 a month, until all was paid.

his agreement to the letter but after
paying over $4,000 he was ousted
from possession of the property.

the property he alleges he spent $3,-

against the miners union of Gold
field asked for by the Mine Owners

pages were presented and read TO the

All tended to show that the min

accused of countenancing the action

Office We have been for some time
past doing the business which should
raise us to second class position The
year 1907 shows a great gain over
the previous II months. The exact
percentage | am not prepared to give,
but it is large one.
ITO give the public some idea OF
the amount of mail matter received
here it is only necessary to say that
outgoing. during the six months we
were weighing mail on orders con-
neeted with giving of postal con-
tracts, more than ten tons were
weighed. while fully Is times that
much was received here. While the
bulk of the receipts was composed OF
papers and periodicals there was a
great amount of first class matter in
termixed. Outgoing records show
preponderanee of first class over the
other two.
Mr. Graham stated that although
the business during the year seemed
10 show this city deserving OF ad-
vance to rank as a second class Of

being made to place 1t there. This is
done entirely by the department,
without suggestion from postmasters.

largest of which are the Emo build
ing and the Manhattan bridge ap-
proaches. There are a lot of small
things held up also. which brings up
a good total There is also big
tonnage of work in the Mississippi
valley that has been postponed for
various reasons, but some of 1t will
undoubtedly come out this month.
New specifications against old con-
tracts aer very small, but steel men
cay that there is a better feeling
among consumers. and it is expected
that toward the middle of the month
there will be ii perceptible increase In
volume.
Plate makers have still some uh-
filled business on their books. They
are carrying quite a number of post
poned orders, which are not expected
10 be specified against until the mid
die of the year. 1t is thought that
the contemplated reduction in plates
will have a stimulating effect on the
market.
The rail situation presents little
new feature. While several of the
icduiis idilIodus are 1T Wolh On Spet-
iiioations, II is evident from present
indications that they will be much
less than those of 1906, in some cases
being 40 per cent less. Nothing is
expected to be done on the new price

ders placed are merely reservations
