Eight mangled bodies had been

Outside immediate families of the

mountain village believes that any
living thing In the mine survived
the explosion Saturday morning.
For more than thirty-six hours
every. surviving miner in this re-
eion had toilc1 with no thought of
food, sleep or pay to force fresh air
into the innermost recesscs of the

Annual Defice is Overcome by
Strict Regulation Of
Postal Service
POSTAL BANKS ARE SUCCESSFUL
Hitchcock Recommends Merritts
Leave Of Absence For
Employees Of Service

Washington Dec 10,-For the
first time since 1883 the annual
financial statement of the postoffice
department shows surplus instead
of deficit. The revenue foM the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1871 /,
amounted to $237879,S23.6O and
the expenditures to $237,660, ,705.4S
leaving a surplus of $219, l 49,. 10,
At the beginning of the present ad-
ministration in 1909 the postal SER
vice was in arrears to the extent of
7,479,770.47. which was decided
ly the largest deficit on record. In
the brief space of two years this de-
felt has been changed into sub
stantial surplus, according to the
report of Postmaster General Hitch
cock made to President Taft today
The wiping out of the deficit has
been accomplished without curtail-
ment of postal facilities On the con-
trary important extensions have
been made In every branch of the
service. Since the opening of the
present administration there have
been established 3,744 new post
offices, delivery by carrier has been
provided in 1876 additional cities,
and 2,516 new rural routes, aggre-
satng 60,679 miles, have been au-
thorized. Meanwhile the force of pos
tai employees has been increased by
more than 5000. In compensating
such employees the department fol-
lows a liberal policy. Last year the
total amount expended for salaries
was approximately $4,000, 900
greater than two years ago. The
average annual salary has been in
creased from 1859 to 967 for rural
carriers. from $979 to $1,0S2 for
postoffice clerks, from $1,021 TO ST.
1854 for city letter carriers, and
from $fit6S to $i,1s3 for railway
postal clerks. Thus a marwed ex-
tension OF the postal service and
higher compensation ror It's em-
ployes have gone hand in hand with
vanishing deficit.
