URGES PARCEL POST TO END THE
DEFICIT.

Don c. Seitz Declares That the Gov
eminent Should Make More Use of
Mail Routes.
Washington, Jan. 29.-Don G. Seitz,
publisher Of the New York World and
Chairman Of the Postal Committee OF
the Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton, today gave the House Committee
on Post Offices and Post Roads views
upon many features of the postal ser
vice.
Mr.. Seitz declared that the postal
deficit would be $40, 100000 instead of
$17,000,000, as at present, if the de-
partment backed by Congress, did not
60 out after business like an up-to-
date business house would do. He
characterized the postal service as a
great organization, but said that not
enough advantage was being taken OF
the opportunities.
The department must decide, he
said, whether 1t was to be run for a
benevolent purpose or as business
institution. 1t was his opinion that
the railroads were not SO much over
paid by the Government as they were
OverwOrked. He thought the Govern
ment should establish a parcels post
and give the rural carriers more to
carry than a few letters, and at the
same time afford the Government adj
ditiOnal revenue.
AS an outgrowth of the present in
quiry Representative Cox of Indiana
today introduced in the House a meas
ure requiring the railroad companies
to submit to the Postmaster General
monthly reports as to the number OF
Government postal employees carried
free over their lines and the mileage
travelled by each, and also requiring
the postal employees themselves to
submit similar reports. Explaining
the purposes of his bill, Mr.. Cox
said
when the railroads are asked by
us for particulars as to the expense
of carrying the mails, they say that it
costs them many millions of dollars
to carry the Government employees of
the postal service. | want to find out
If this is SO, and determine whether
the railroads are telling the truth or
not. And this is bat the beginning.
| aim to establish similar check up
on every phase Of the mail carrying
business, ana see II we can't deter
mine exactly whether the Government
is being robbed by the railroads, as is
generally charged.
Defending members of Congress
against published charges that they
abused their Thanking privileges
Representative Sims of Tennessee in
the House declared that this privilege
cost 100000 annually against a de-
felt on second-class mail matter of
$64,000,000. The deficit" he said,
amounts in one to as much as the
Thanking privileges cost in 120 years"
Mr.. Sims statement aroused a great
deal of interest on the part of mem
bers Of the House. Republicans and
Democrats gathered about him as he
continued his speech.
This newspaper" he said, reading
further from a clipping he held in his
hand, appeals to members of Con-
gross to organize reform among
themselves.
The deficit in the registry division
of the Post Office Department was
given by Mr.. Sims as S4,000,00O

At SEVEN TROUCAS
Coalition Mines Extracts a
Small Fortune i'm One
Shift Friday.

Some OF the richest hlgh-grade gold ore
ever found in the west has come from
the Seven Troughs mining district OF
Nevada. and that the operators today
are still finding rock that carries bonanza
values is evident from the recent ex-
periences OF the Seven Troughs Coalition
Mines company. l.. A. Friedman. general
manager OF this organization was in the
city on Thursday from the camp,
Mr., Friedman told The Tribune. .yester-
day that one man during one eisht-hour
shift last Friday extracted 200 pounds
of gold ore, the value Of which was S35
per pound This mans work. therefore,
which cost the company 81, was produc-
tive Of $1,000 nearly $1,000 per hour,
OF enormously rich ore, and to save the
exacting freight and smelling charges
which have been endured in the past. the
company is preparing to install milling
plant on the property TO bring the values
in sufficiently good shape TO pass muster
at the government assay office at Carson
City, This plant Will save many thou
sands OF dollars month for the Coali-
ton,
The Coalition estate, however. is not
exclusively such high-grade proposition:
yet the milling grade rock now being
handled running on an average of sl0O
per ton In old For a milling grade rock
this is about the finest one could desire,
and 1t Illustrates the tremendous richness
OF this Seven Troughs mine. There Is
plenty OF this ore available. and the
present mill. which is being operated two
shifts daily, is soon to be given an over
hauling for increased capacity. The man.
agement Is figuring on this increase at
the present time.
Mr.. Friedman expresses absolute sat-
isfaction with the manner in which the
property is responding TO the efforts of
those In charge. and he is certain that
the Coalition will make great record
even for these big record days of Nevada

Production OF SpcIter

These statistics require considerable
explanation. The production OF the ore
smelters includes some metal derived
from dross. the amount of which cannot
easily be reported separately. The pro-
ducJion credited to the dross and scrap
smelters is doubtless Incomplete, owing to
small concerns that escape enumeration
Moreover, II is some what uncertain where
20 draw the line in the statistical account
Ing of their production Some is re-
smelted: some is merely remelted. When
such spelter is marketed in slabs II plays
The same part In the trade as does virgin
ypeltcr. In fact there is some speiter
reproduced from waste products that Is OF
superior QUALITY as compared with virgin
prime western Besides the zinc that re-
turns 10 the market in this way good
deal OF scrap zinc is utilized Directly IN
the manufacture OF such chemical pro,
ducts as zinc chloride. zinc sulphate and
l!thophone. This is not StatlStlcaly dC-
counted.
In previous years we have reported the
domestic consumption OF spelter accord
Ing to purpose upon the basis or reports
made By the consumers. Ihese reports
have covered the major part OF the con-
sumption. II has not been possible TO Sc
cure reports from some consumers OF zinc

purposes but with nearly complete re-
ports for galyanizing and sheet Zlnc ano

deliveries II was possible to supply miss.
ing returns by difference. For 1908 and
1909 however, this wns impossible, the
consumption in those years having oeen
materially less than the deliveries, as is
we'll known. Our reports for consump-
tion In 1a0S and 1909 are consequently to
be regarded more in the nature OF an es-
innate than have been those OF previous
wears. AS an Indication Of the basis OF
estimate however, we may say that the
returns actually received for 1909 aggre-
gate 1874 607 tons. Our estimate of con-
sumption is given in accompanying tables

Consumption of Spelter in the q.
Percentage of Consumption.

The statistics for consumption both in
1905 and 1909 are probably under the
true totals but even after making allow
ance for the tendency Of statistics that
have to be collected from a multitude of
small consumers to fail by COMMISSIONS,
there is nevertheless no dor)t that In
1909 the actual consumption fell short
of the deliveries by an even greater
amount than In 1908. This means that
at the end of each year the galvanizers,
brass makers. etc. had supplies to large
amount in their yards and possibly spelter
may also have been in warehouse for
speculative accounts besides that which
was carried at. the smelteries. 1t IS
especially the time required for the d.
gestion OF these invisible supplies that
accounts for the. low range OF spelteT
only by the fitful rise in 1909 when it
was feared that the Payne tarin was
going to reduce the ore supply.
The actual consumption Of spelter has
increased largely. the amount In 1909 be-
ing the largest on record, but the pro
duction has been too big. The spelter
business is In fact in precisely the same
situation as the copper business, except
that in copper the major part OF the ac-
cumulated surplus is visible" whereas in
spelter the reverse was the case at the
end Of 1909 and probably now also.
