the rain--in fact, he rather enjoys 1t, and

blanket their horses and seek refuge within
the waiting room OF the station, but Bob
Garrett prefers to sit upon his cab and get
drenched.

Post Office Economies.

The postoffice department is endeavoring to introduce various economies in administration. Some have already gone into effect and
 others will be adopted as fast as possible. One for instance is the pink card return receipt that the sender now gets after the delivery of registered letter or parcel. Hereafter this receipt will not be given unless the sender of the re- gister expressly requests it by writing on the address of his letter or parcel receipt desired" This will save great deal of time on the part of the registry clerks as we'll as the postoffice and postal clerks who handle thousands oi these receipts daily, as we'll also a; the expense of furnishing the cards in large quantities.

An "Antlguo" Hammer.

;, When the 0ta.e mine, the drain. ing of which was mentioned recently, was unwatered, there was found in the old workings an antiquo hammer of peculiar model, left there more than one hundred years ago by the early Spaniards who worked the mine and are reputed to have extracted much gold. The hammer which had been rusted greatly by a cen tury's action, is nearly twice as large as an ordinary sledge ham, mer,-which weighs about eight pounds. The one found in the mine weighs about fourteen pounds. The striking head is hattened, as 1 in an ordinary sledge, but the other end is drawn to chisel edge -blunted greatly now by corrosion. The tool has short wooden handle, no longer than that in an ordinary single handed drilling hammer.
 When found the handle was GOV
 cred with an earthly deposit which
 dried and fell away, leaving free
 the wood, which is remarkably well
 preserved.
 The object of the chisel on one
 end of the head of the hammer has
 been the cause of much conjecture
 by those who have seen 1t. THE
 OASIS hazards guess that 1t was
 to start the great drill holes tht
 antiguo miners made to break uI the ground. They sunk to grea , depth holes about four inches II iameter. Those holes they filled with lime, plugged, and poured il r water. The swelling lime brok, up the ground. Such an imple l ment as was found at Otate woult be needed to start the hole ant sink it a few inches-then a larg f hand churn drill would be used t sink to the depth needed.
