postmasters and 1885 clerks are not in

il will be found that the total number en-
gagged in handling the mail of the country
is lS0, 1916.
New York ranks first in the number of

the total number: Pennsylvania ranks sec

to note, the approximate average com

ten tons per hour, loading and un-
loading at the upper and lower
terminals automatically. The
buckets have capacity of four to
six hundred pounds each, accord
ing to the specific gravity of the

trihuted along the line as to be out
of danger from snow-slides while
the foundations ara laid in cement,
to prevent them from gettlng out

the most substantial tramway ever
built in the country and we know
that the equipment is up to date
in every respect, with flat wire Gu

times the load possible to put up
on them. The work of taking out
ore from the mine is temporarily
suspended until the mill is in read
