LAST TWO QUARTERS SHOW
SPLENDID INCREASE ACCORD
ING TO AUDITOR.
CREDITED TO REFORMS
WILL WIPE OUT s12,ooo,ooo OF THE
$4,000, 900 DEFICIT WITHIN
TWELVE MONTHS.

Washington. = Basing his conclu'
sions on the auditors return of postal
receipts and expenditures for the first
half Of the current fiscal year, and on
preliminary returns for the third quar-
ter of the year. which closed March 81,
Postmaster General Hitchcock predict
ed Monday that the first year Of the
present administration would show a
decrease OF over $10,000,000 in the
deficit of $17.4sO,000 handed down
from the preceding year.
The deficit from the first half of the
current year was 4.072,000, as against
y1O,2S5,000 for the first half of last
year, reduction of more than $6,000,-
600 in six months.
The recent publication of the aud
itor's returns for the quarter ended
December 81, disclosed that the serv-
ice had been conducted during that Pc
riod at an actual profit of $2.115.000,
the largest surplus recorded, 1t Is stat
cd, for any quarter in the history of
the department. Postmaster General
Hitchcock expressed the belief that
the final figures for the quarter ended
March 81, also would show surplus
Of close to 100000.
The final quarter of the year. that
ending June 80. in which certain heavy
expenses of the service will fall, is
likely to show deficit, Mr.. Hitchcock
said, but as expenditures are now rum
ming he expected that deficit to be ex-
ceptionally small. The postmaster
general said he would not be surprised
II the excess Of expenditures over re-
ceipts for the entire year fell as low as
e5,o0o.o00. which would mean. he said.
the wiping out of over $12,000,000 of
deficit in twelve months.

butte the reduction to radical reforms
that were introduced at the opening of
the year in the methods Of handling
the postal business.

is a close corporation composed largely
of Philadelphia capitalists. These
same people first entered this section in
December, 900. At that time they pur-
chased the Oregon group of claims in
the northern part of this district and
operated under the name of the Search
light Consolidated. This venture did
not prove profitable, so Messrs. Lath-
bury, D'Olier and others who were
largely interested commenced looking
around for other property. This they
finally found at the Canyon in the
shape of a group owned by John Han

At 100 feet the vein was 26 feet be-
tween walls, at the second level ii

mercial ore. The ore ON the lower level
was picked up in a crosscut SO feet

that the Eagle has "made good and
that a plant is to be installed with all
possible haste.
