Luckyboy in Ore

The developments of the last few
days in the big tunnel at Luckyboy
have been very satisfactory to :he
management. The small streak of
high grade that was encountered
last week has wideued out to three
feet, and the ore is as rich as any
ever taken out Of the upper workings
Of the mine. This strike was made
in raise from the tunnel level, which
is now up about 40 feet The extent
of the ore body can be judged by the
fact that IL tons Of ore were taken
out after one round of shots.

Thorne-Bridgeport Mail Route
Re.Adyerised

The postoffice department has
caused notices to be posted asking
Tor bids for carrying the mail from
fhorne to Bridgeport.
1t is proposed to consolidate the
two routes, and the advertisements
ask Tor bids for one contract instead
ior Two as at present. Other new
features are the clause prohibiting
carrying any parcel post mail con-
signed to himself, one which estab.
fishes II different rate for parcel post
consigned to different stations on
The route, and one providing that 600
pounds must be taken each day on
the first class contract without ad.
ditlonal compensation. There has
been no complaint about the pr resent
service. The same action has been
taken on practically all OF the star
routes throughout the State, it being
the object of the department to
bring about general readjustment
of rates, and also the correction of
abuses which are being practiced by
unscrupulous contractors, such as
the shipment, by the contractor, of
quantities of worthless material bacl,
and forth over bis territory. While
nothing of this kind has been done
by the local contractors, it appears
to be the aim of the officials to so
amend the contracts as to preclude
the possibility of such practice.
The hardship worked upon the mail
carriers is apparent Mr.. Burkham,
contractor on the Hawthorne Bridge
port route, has expended between
SAC, 900 ans $50,000 in the purchase
OF necessary equipment, and the can
ceiling OF his contract at practically
the beginning OF his term would be
a breach of faith on the part of the
Government. The contractors
should receive the same treatment ut
the hands of the Government as they
would expect, and could enforce
through the medium of the courts.

Sheep Loss May Reach Million

Though no accurate detailed data
are yet obtainable, it is certain that
the losses of sheep during the recent
snowstorm were very heavy through
out the northern and eastern parts
OF the state. Conservative estimates
made by stockmen who are familiar
with conditions place the loss among
sheep in the state as high as % per
cent. The greatest loss was among
lam bs, thousands of which must have
perished.
Ore of the largest individual losses
so far reported is that of the Ellison
Ranching company at Stone House
In one corral after the storm was
