Factory in any Country in the World (From Philadelphia Letter.) Uncle Sam will hereafter cola his Eastern money by a brand-new process and -with brand-new machinery. His . great $2,400,000 mint has received its finishing touch, and yoa may now in spect here, la the Quaker City, the best quipped and nnst artistically modelled coin factory in the "world. Whereas in the old Philadelphia mint you "were permitted only to peep through mall windows at the industry of dark rooms, yoa may in the new structure "stroll comfortably npon high, overhang ing galleries, and tfcere watch every act of he nation moneymakers working lu their ample, well lighted laboratories. Leaving the deposit room, where it Is receiTed. the bullion is taken first to the new melting room. Ilcre are Fixteeu 'new melting furnaces, who?e tempera ture an be raised o -.OOO decrees by oil fuel, which Is now" exclusively used. Jn the melting furnaces of the old mint anthracite coal was employed. j Piled about the furnaces .are keg shaped crucible made of plumbago. These, as needed, are placed in the fur naces, and in them Are thrown the gold and silver bricks. These bricks are brought from all paTts of the world and ivary greatly In size. Before being made Into money they must be alloyed Tth copper nntil they are 000 fine. The inciters" stand before the furnaces "wearing huge mittens made of heavy 'buckskin or crash, padded with scraps of ingrain BrnssV Airpet. When the rredou9 metal reaches a certain color, rwhich they can detect .only after long -experience, it is ready to be molded into Ingots. But before this is done a few drops of the molten metal are remoTed fcy the assayer. A man whose gloTed hands clutch a Tatr of ln? tongs holding a three itponfed gray be 1 in their Jaws, dip from eaca crucible the glowing, liquid rnefal and pours it into a series of damn molds. Each set or tnese is tafcen uy a second pair of gloTed hands and plunged into cold water. The hardened Ingots are next dipped fat. miratle acid, which eats away all rarticles of foreign matter. Finally tber are placed in another bath of water. Whether gold or silTer, they are all molded to measure a foot in length, but Tary up to fne and one half inehv in width . and thickness. According to the coin to b struck from them. - Kach finisbM ingot cornea from the mold with a blunt end or top. this being caused by the end of the mold in which the liquid metal is poured. A row of topping machines bites off this irregular ity, and frnn hese the bars are passed to men at benches who file off the rough edges. The flings are caught In oilcloth-lined brrxes and carefully saved. Next the properly shaped ingots are sent to a long table, where they are placed, slde by side, in a row and a man with a brand and hammer stamps npon each a 'number. deslgnatingits m.Mt. Tls bars now pass to the assayer. who compares the few drops of metal taken rom the furnace with 4he corre- spondirtgly numbered lt of the finished nrinct; If the latter fails to reach .XV fine it must be remelted. Ingot which run the p.inntlet of the assayer pass next Into the rolling de-i partment. which, like the melting room. fn been equipped with brand new ma chinery. Between palm of inalve Toll ers the ingots are passed fifteen times. They are then of twice the required th'ekres. Next" tbey are sent to the annealing or tempering furnace, where ther are heated cherry red and plunged into water. Then they are nut tbronsh an other series of rollers fifteen times be fore beirv rednced to the proper thick rest. whi."h. of conrse. dervends upon the .enominatVn of the iinished oln to be Trade frem them. Inrots which before; the rolling process resembled sticks of older, in point of size, leave the last rolling pre la the form of strips .Tarv isg in dimensions nr to six feet in length, fnr Ineties in width and about a six teenth of an' Inch in thiekess. In the old mint these strins were made bv a sort of cfmhined rolling and process. wmcQ nas nowv been abandoned. ers use, which thoroughly cleanses and dries them l-ady for coinage. Against the long Avail of the coining room there are twenty-four great heavy presses, each with a Tortlcal face of Ban? :t"r "b." At a -rt of I to the switchback enclosure and b.rk.1 fillwl with glistening -planchets, there nit." feeding each machine a yonne wo man wkh a canvas npron. in which he now and then places a handful of the new disks. The mouth of each machine Is a small coin to be stamped, and into this the son he wfll:bi-caught off the pier at At blanks are contlnnallv inserted in hieh cylindrical stacks. From the upright brass tube a pair of automatic fihters about by the hour, -to the great enr;ca- uient rf the switchback man trelsury. This turtle s Xh? first and only pr akent ef his" kind that ever worked pro vincial New- Yorkers at the. reahorc. When he frnisihes his Coney-Island sea- rapidly take each bottom coin and place it npon the lowermost of two dies,-rapidly claKlung together like hungry jaws. These 'nt one blow strike the top and bottom impression, .and at the same tinio by force of expansion, the disk of metal tlzhtens within a fluted collar which gives the finished coin a reeded edge. Silver dollars and gold cc.n are stamp ed at the rate of eishty-iive a minute; qnarters and hslf dollars, ninety a min nte: nickels, 110 a miuote; cents, 120 a minute. Ton v.;:i note that this Is the first time nirkcla and cents have leen mentioned. They are distinctly Philadelphia coins, nit being stauipc-l at other mints. But th stamping is the first process which Uncle Sam subjects them to. Their Idanchets are supplied by a New Ling and firm. From the coining room the finished money goes to th proving department, money goes to the proving department, where Its accuracy is again tested. It is now ready for the counting room. In this depa-tment gold coins, "silver dollars and half dollars are all counted by weight, being stacked up inside steel frames and swept off into the pan of a huge pair . of scales. The quarters, dimes, nickels and cents are shuffled over large flat boards with parallel strips of brass, between which a row c coins fits loosely. . . Being filled with the money, it i tilted until the pieces flowing over it till all tb spaces between strips. In this way $1.0(0 In dimes are counted on a single board every eighteen seconds, and thrown into an aperture at the front of the counters' table. leaving the count ers the new money Is put into steal strong boxes to await shipment.; The loss cf a train of gold or silver dnst is prevented, if possible, at the new I 7r nt by making recoveries rrom tne root to the verr wells of the cellar. The floors of the melting room are of money combed iron. Anything dropped there upon will go through. This honeycomb in the neighborhood of the furnace is removed dally. The dnst then 'swept from the bare floor is, to gether with all broken crncibles. crushed in a mill and put through a process for separating the precions meta lpartlcles. The clothing which the smelters and moriMers wear, also the aprons of the women coiners, must never icare inp bnildinr. The working- apparel and mitten when worn ont are burnt, and the gold and silver extracted from them. These recoveries from the melting de partment average $12,400 a year, while : i - . . . .v. . t- .ri; me iotmi is in ine rimic uvui is iumu below $r0O e. year. , ;? : Ftthoiocy from any eu dropped" n '.ordinary bass line with a LADIES! $500 REWARD smalT hooVoQ.it ana Djuea .wun a ju acious bug Tight down cn his nose.
