A sewer system for O’Neill means a modern hotel building I efore the year 1911 passes into history. Vote for the sewer bonds. The democratic syndicate are be ginning to realize that the proceeds from the printing of the scavenger tax list will not go very far as a mort gage raiser. A state job that pays a salary of $2,000 per year and about $25 per month for expenses, and then to be able to devote about half of your time to your private business is what most people would call a public snap. Governor Hughes of New York has been appointed as associate justice Of the United States court, and has notified President Taft that he will accept the appointment. Probably no appointment made by President Taft since his induction Into office will give more general satisfaction to the people of the United States The election of a democrat to con gress from a Massachusetts district by six thousand majority, in a district that had given six thousand repub lican majority two years ago, should be a warning to senators and congress men that the present tariff bill is not satisfactory to the people at large. The people want a revision downward The Butte Gazette has started on volume 19. The Gazette has always been a good country weekly but never better than It has been during the past four years under the manage ment of Mrs. Armstrong. That the quality of the paper she is publishirg is appreciated by the business men of Butte is evidenced by the liberal ad vertising patronage the paper re ceives. Jim Dahlman’s proclamation in favor of the removal of the capital from Liucoln to some more central portion of the state has aroused con siderable enthusiasm in the cities of Hastings, Grand Island and Kearney, all of whom believe they are located In the most desirable portion of the state for the seat of government, should the people of Nebraska decide to change headquarters.

Land OBIol WELL GUARDED CASH The Millions Piled Up In the Mint at Philadelphia. STORED IN ARMORED VAULTS. The Whole Building Is Embedded In a Solid Concrete Foundation, and the Underground Strong Rooms Are In pregnable—The Night Watch. The Philadelphia mint always con tains coin and bullion which fluctuates in value each day between a half and three-quarters of a billion dollars. One hundred millions of dollars of this amount is in silver dollars stored for several years in a room by itself 100 by 55 feet in area. About $300,000,000 Is in gold coin, ready to be put in cir culation or to be stored in the national treasury at Washington against the is sue of a corresponding number of gold certificates. A million or two is in bronze and nickel coins. Finally an amount of bullion varying from a small quantity to several hundred mil lions of dollars’ worth occupies the four massive vaults designed for the uncoined metal. now, now is this vast hoard pro tected? First of all, the whole mint is em bedded in a solid concrete foundation ubout three feet deep. Concrete, as every one knows, is one of the strong est of all known substances and the most impervious to drilling or wear. Then on the interior, where the vaults are placed, within this concrete protec tion, comes a solid armor of battleship steel six inches thick, so strong that an expert working on it a week could scarcely make an impression, much less penetrate it by hand tools. The vuults themselves are sunken deeply below the ground. Descending several flights of stairs and passing by doors guarded by a fearsome ar ray of rifles for use by the night guards, a long, fairly wide corridor of solid concrete masonry shows the entrances to the six vanflts, one for the silver already referred to, one for all kinds of coinage, but mostly for gold, and the remaining four for the gold, silver and nickel bunion. The bronze bullion lies in another room by itself, but as a few dollars’ worth of this substance makes an uncomforta bly heavy load it is not thought nec essary to surround it with the minute safeguards used in the case of the precious metals. The vaults themselves have a double combination. That to the outer door is known by the cashier only and that to the inner door by the custodian of the vaults only. To enter a vault both men have to be together, and it is a rule of the department that both shall stay together till the inspection or other object for which the huge safe is opened is accomplished. Entering one of these great cages after five minutes’ working at the combination, one finds himself in a huge room partitioned off in fifteen compartments by steel gratings of the strongest ldnd. A straight passage six feet wide and the height of the chamber goes down the length of the room from the door. At the entrance are stored the bronze coins, the cents, about $80,000 worth of them, but the amount varies from day to day. Next come the more precious nickel coins, of which the value usually totuls about $300,000. Beyond these--storage places a steel grated door in the passage itself has to be opened and then still another to get completely to the end of the room. All along, the length of this passageway, from the entrance to the vault to the end. are the compart ments for the coins, separated from the passageway by exactly the same kind of gratings as those which divide tne way ltseir Into sections. The bottom, tbe sides and the top of this vault are ltned with steel plates, and about the entire vault is the three foot protection of concrete. Within the vault Itself are the separate compart ments, each locked. These compart ments are examined shortly after the end of the fiscal year and are then sealed by the examiners, so that any entrance to them woiild be Impossible without the breoJkage of the senls. In each compartment devoted to the stor age of gold the coin is stored first in bags which contain $5,000 each in half eagles, eagles or donble eagles, and then these bags are arranged twenty on a shelf. Each shelf has thus $100, 000 on it. The shelves are arranged in rows downward, ten from top to bot tom of the compartment, each row having thus $1,000^000 in gold In It. Electricity lights the entire section of each vault, and the electric current Is so arranged that if it were possible for the vaults to be tampered with the electricity would immediately give no tice outside that.someth!tig was wrong. A detachment of guards every night Is stationed at the entrance to the stairways leading to the corridor, which gives access to the vaults them selves. Their orders are to shoot down any one attempting an entry. For the protection of the mint from fire a well drilled fire brigade has charge of the extinguishing apparatus. There are thirty-one fire alarm sta tions located in the corridors and rooms throughout the building. At night every fifteen minutes thirty one watchmen ring a signal notifying the watch in the telephone room that all is well. All these men carry re volvers during the night watch. If the signal from any watchman was not heard at the right time an instant alarm would be sounded.—Philadelphia Record. 1— I ■ % More Economical than | the Cheap and Big Can Kind IJ V - and MUCH BETTER^* WHY?
