He wished to get the act creating these
routes repealed, but was told by a com
mittee of the postoffice, that that was
unnecessary. After the exposure had
been made the postmaster general
would not think of letting the contracts
for these routes. The matter dropped
there, and the senator supposed that it
had dropped for good. In the mean
time there bad been a change made in
the postmaster generalship, but none
in the contract office. Two days ago
Van Wyck learned that the contract
for carying the mail on the route from
Niobrara to Deadwood, had been let at
$13,000 a year to Mimer, one of the de
fendants in the present star route trial,
and he promptly had a warm inter
view with Chief Clerk Lyman, of the
contract office, and a very satisfactory
interview with Postmaster General
Gresham, who, the senator believes,
will suapend the contract as above.
Depdwood people have daily mails
from two points already, and the ag
gregate postal revenues arising within
fifty miles of Niobrara, do not amount
to 8200 a year, and there are no white
settlers between, and for most of the
way cannot be until the Indian’s title
is extinguished.
