UNClESAM FA|[S|N
HOLIDAY DUTY
Gifts Sent by Mail Delayed
on Account of Plan
of Economy.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 26.-Un-
Gle Sam sadly failed Santa Claus in
his Christmas duty Of transporting
presents by mail, according to COM
plants from postoffices all over the
country, now being received here at
the Postoffice Department. Nearly
all sections of the country are COM
planning of delay in receipt of Christ
mas packages.
No Official here could point out
definitely the reason for the unusu-
ally large number of complaints, but
in the main Secretary Hitchcock was
blamed for an excess in the direc-
ton of economy, a retrenchment
which, it is said, crippled the service.
The flood of holiday mail this year
surpassed that of any previous
Christmas-tide, and conditions are
the worst ever encountered by the
service.
1t is conceded that the difficulty
lies with the regular mail service.
Usually a large force of extra clerks
is added during the holiday rush,
but Superintendent c. Vickery of the
service stated that this year they had
tried the plan of doubling up the
shifts of men already employed, and
had taken in only a very few extra
employees. He said the service was
doing its best under the circum-
stances.
Naturally. no postoffice official
voiced any criticism of the economy
system" but it was limited that
clerks and equipment had been stint
ed this year, and the congestion was
a natural outcome.
A large quantity of Chritmas mail
will be delayed from three to five
days. Many cars of mail are laid up
at various functions because mail
clerks are unable to handle it.

Negro population. This is true. for exam

white men of the south themselves recog-

You are therefore hereby directed to Sc

large proportion of the population-say
two-fifths or more-consists of Negroes.
On the other hand. do not consider it
pointed as enumerators should be author
lied to enumerate white families. 1t Is
certain that In many II not most parts of
the south Negro enumerators would not
be able TO obtain as accurate statistics
regarding the white population as white
enumerators could. II will therefore be
necessary in many enumeration districts
to appoint both a white enumerator and a
colored enumerator in order that the en-
tire population may be properly enumer-
rated.
1t is understood, of course, that all ap-

outputs Of many of the major collieries'
however, have been largely increased
through more extensive development and
the collierles OF the state are now capable
OF a much greater production
than that represented by the 1903 output.
An interesting feature OF the year in

No. l finally was driven so far that the
expense Of hosting the product to the
surface became prohibitive except through
a vertical shaft. So the mine was closed,
but subsequently the sinking of a vertical
shaft was begun and in course of time the
famous old mine will again be producing.
Although Wyoming is bounded by states

States MinernI Wealth.
Accurate figures of the states mineral
production during the year are absolutely
lacking, there being no public system OF
keeping statistics of the industrial affairs
of the state. but estimates place the
amounts as follows: Coal, $21,OOO,OOO; iron
$500, OOO; gold, S75,OOO; copper, $4,000; build
ing stone, $4,000; copper, $4,000; oil, $5O,WOi

Except for the work of that character
which is performed in railroad shop plants
there is little manufacturing in Wyoming
There are small manufacturing plants
scattered throughout the cities, but they
are local in their character and business
and the total of their output during the
wear is small. Probably the manufacturing
industry during the year represented the
expenditure of $1,000 OO, which is a de
crease from the record of 1908. when thu
large rolling mills of the Union Pacific a.
Laramie were in operation for a portion
Of the time. Those mills were idle dur
