NOW ON FOR CHEAPER
 POSTAGE
MOVEMENT IS LAUNCHED FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF RATES ACCORDING TO ZONE SYSTEM.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S - The ways are now being greased for the launching of Shc movement for the
 rcadjustmcnt of postal rates in the next session of Congress. This prob lem was to have been taken up in the
 last session but had to be deferred on account of the consideration re- quircd by railway mail pay. Since
 this has been disposed of the com
 mittccs are prepared to take up the matter of placing the various postal rates on a more equitable basis.
 X zone system of rates for second class matter is being prominently urged to take the place of the present flat rate which was adopted nearly 40 years ago. The present rate has for some time been regarded as dis Crimination against the newspapers in favor of the great national magazines. Like the parcel post the proposed zone rates would be based on the length of the haul
 The postal committees have been bcsicged by petitions bearing millions of names and several hundred thou- sand letters from individuals urging rcadjuStmcnt of postal rates with a view of making possible one cent let ter postage \ survey of the situa- ton indicates that sufficient changes will be made in the various rates to permit the granting of one cert on local delivery letters in the next scs- sion of congress.
 Chairman Moon of the house postal committee, today said: ''I think that the committee will take up this sec Ond-class mail matter at the next scs- sion and press it to q conclusion at once. While l cannot speak for the committee, this Is my desire in the matter. 1 do not know what kind Of a bill we will pass. whether it will have a zone feature attached to it or not. This view has been presented frequently in years past. and some times received favor and sometimes not. As 10 what shape the legislation will be in [ am not able to say. but am sure the committee will give it the best possible shape in the public 
 Otudlol Nttu NllloOl, Ol ldl. says that history tells lis that with every reduction in the letter rate of postage there has immediately fol- lowed a tremendous increase in the volume of business and revenue Dur ing the first month or SO there might possibly be slight failing off in the revenues under the proposed rate but by the end of one year after its inau- | feel certain they would to- :. tal even more than under the old rate. [ However, in considering the proposed . reduction we should keep in mind . Inc enormous benefits that are to be | derived by every patron of the postal . service
 ''I introduced a bill proposing q 1nc cent rate on local delivery let CTS \s yet the postal committee Ias not been disposed to report it to ! he senate for consideration. If the does not feel disposed to -cport the bill as an independent measure l hope to have it's provisions included in the next regular postal bill

MEMORAbLEDAYS ARE RECALLED
 IN MINING
THE OLD PECK SILVER BONANZA IN HANDS OF PRACTICAL OPERATORS IS TO RESUME.

Mining history of 40 years ago is
 being repeated ,and that movement which has been quietly proceeding for
 several months to again bring the
 famously known Peck, the father of all Arizona silver bonanza mines, in- to an active state, is being accom- plishcd.
 The taking over of the property by Henry Braun and Louis Shrade, last Spring, has been followed by repair ing machinery in the mill used in 1876, the adding of a system of cyan idle treatment, placing new engines in action. and shaping up the old work ings for unwatering and exploring. Behind this movement is the essen tial matter Of reducing the old orc dump, of several hundred thousand tons, the accumulation of carly opera tions, and which product was cast aside when the chloride and carbon ate ores running into the hundreds of dollars per ton were given preference when the big boom was prevailing. The new operators have installed six large cyanide tanks and with the mill in action, a thorough system of re- Covcry IS assured.
 Mir Braun in other fields has made a success of reduction, being classed as an authority on metallurgy. Flota- ton also is under consideration. Tn conjunction with the dump to be treated, another important matter will be to begin exploration of the old workings, in which a shaft sunk several years ago will be opened for observation to be followed by cxplo- ration. This movement is by far the most important in many years in this county, and is of exceptional interest in this day, so distant from the time when this great silver producer en- grosScd more attention than any oth- CT property on the coast.
