Millions of Dead Le..crs.

Supt. D. P. Leibhardt, of the Dead Letter Office at Washington, has issued e circular which gives a report of all the mail matter reaching his office, and contains many suggestions to the public.
 He says that more than COCO, 900 pieces of mail matter are sent annually to the Dead Letter Office by reason of incorrect illegible or deficient address, insufficient postage or insecure closing. There is a daily average of more than 20, GOO pieces. Letters containing noth- ing of value are not recorded. Pack ages are recorded, and if not claimed within two years are sold. A large pro- portion of the packages sent to the Dead Letter Office fail to be restored to the owners because of the absence of anything to indicate ownership.
 Of the unclaimed mail matter re- ceived at the office during the iiseal year 45l ,0D0 we're letters misdirected- Chat is, not addressed to post office, or addressed to post office not in State named, or addressed to a post office without the State being given No addresses whatever were to be found on 24 900 letters, many of which con- tained money, cheeks aud drafts.

How Gold K shipped.

When one recalls the fact that mil.
 lions upon millions Of dollars in gold annually seek Europe to provide for the necessities of our important trade, the question of how gold is shipped to Europe becomes an interesting one. The Bank of America is the largest sim gle shipper of gold from New York and indeed from the United States. Ship ments arc made in stout kegs, very much like an ordinary beer keg. Every one contains $50, GOO in coin or bar gold, The latter is the favorite for these shipments, siuce the government has permitted the sub-treasury to ex- change coin for bar gold, as coin, in q single million dollar shipment is liable to lose by abrasion of from eight to twenty ounces or from SIPS to S320, while the bars only lose about three- fourths of that vai,ia. Wien gold is sen, double eagles are preferred. They are put ill stout canvas bags, each one containing l25 double eagles, S5, 900, and ten bags fill each keg About the only precaution taken against tamper- ing with keg, is treatment of keg ends technically known as ''red-taping Four holes are bored at equal intervals in the projecting rim of the slaves about the head. Red tape is run through these crossing the kegs head the ends meeting at the center, where they are sealed fast by the hardest of wax, and stamped with the consignor's name. The average insurance is about Sl .580 per $l GOO, GOO Then there is an ex- pense of 8 per keg for packing and carriage aboard ship, or S200 for the same sum and the inevitable loss by abrasion, whatever it may prove to be. There are great Wall Street firms ship ping from $25, GOO, 600 to s4O, ,000, 600 annually y.- Exchange.

The Sonora railroad is heavily rushed with business, and owing to lack of cars ore shipments,are being seriously de- layed.. Al Benson and Deming are hundreds of tons side-tracked waiting facilities for moving, and at Crittendeg the station platform is piled so high with sacks of ore that it will not hold another one, waiting for cars in which shipments can be made. Much of the ore at the mines in the Harshaw dis trict are now being held nt the mines until regular railroad traffic can be re- sumed.

Corporation Counsel Clark has set in operation a
new system, under which he hopes that the street
opening proceedings will be expedited The resi-
dents of the Annexed District find that the appoint

street openings which should be one of the last pro
ceedings in obtaining the improvements desired, is
only the beginning of another long delay. The law
requires that the report of the commissioners shall

times elapse before the commissioners report to the
