II turned out, though, that the department moved with un- usual celerity and that 1t also had the money on hand in special fund so that 1t was unnecessary to ask for an ao- propriation.

 "A POSTAGE DUE STAMPS.-Yester- day morning there were received by various persons through the postoff.ce a large number of great white enV=l- Cpes with something bulky in them. The envelopes bore. beside the ordinary postage stamp, six cents worth of post age due stamps. The excess was in all cases paid cheerfully for the addresses believed that they were about to get something of value for almost nothing. The inclOsure proved to be an adver- tisement of the town of Cananea ard the great mines thereto adjacent. This was a new way and not a very satis- factory way of eniisting public att tention in a prospective investment. It is surmiseC that the person who sent the circulars out from the company's offices did not understand the postal regulations. The postage stamps would have been sufficient tc pay for the transmission of the circular if the en- velope had been left Unsealed. But Il was sealed and was thus elevated to postage matter of the first class.
