NEVADA POSTOFFICES.
Their Number and Classification.
The following interesting item to statisticians appears as a local in the Carson Tribune and as an editorial in the Reno Journal, and not knowing which of them stole it, we take it for granted that both scissored it from some other journal:
There are in the State of Nevada one hundred and six postoffices. of which six are rated as second-class, five as third-class and the remaining ninety-five as fourth-class offices. The second class postmasters receive salaries ranging from $2,100 to $2,800 per annum, with clerk hire, rent, fuel and lights allowed by the government. Third-class officers are paid yearly salaries ranging from $1,300 to $1,800, while those who hold fourth-class offices depend for their compensation upon the amount of business done in their offices. It must, however, in no case exceed $250 per quarter, or $1,000 per annum. In all money order offices, the postmasters receive a commission upon all orders issued by them. The receipts from box rent, sales of postage stamps, and from any and all other sources are required to be accounted for and turned over to the Postoffice Department. The second-class offices, with the yearly salary attached to each, are as follows: Carson City, $2,400; Eureka $2,700; Gold Hill, $2,700; Reno, $2,200; Tuscarora, $2,100; Virginia, $2,800. Third-class - Austin, $1,800; Elko, $1,600; Hamilton, $1,500; Pioche, $1,800; Winnemucca, $1,300.
