Ever since the gold dust shippers
decided to use the mails for sending
out their metal instead of patrontzing
the express companies as previously,
because OF the increased tariff, the
trouble has existed. The practice
necessitates the employment OF guards
by the government to watch gold
shipments. As they have been prac
