COUNTING SILVER DOLLARS.

Over Ten i.ssiion VIII Be Handled
mt the New York Subtreasury.
New York. Sept. 26.-Today tremen-
dous task was begun at the subtreasury
in this city by Jerome Wise. William II.
Stern, Abram D. Van Derveer, Arthur P.
Steward, and John Moon, of the Treas
ury Department, acting as a board of
examiners to verify the accounts of ex-
Assistant Treasurer Bigler. 1t is nothing
more nor less than the counting piece by
piece of over ten million standard silver
dollars.
Heretofore the practice, as a rule, has
been to ascertain the amount on hand by
weight with a test bag, which was opened
and the contents counted and weighed
All other bags simply went on the scales,
but if one of them showed the least sign
of being light the coin was dumped out
and counted. This was the procedure
four years ago, when Mr.. Bigler was in
Quoted into office. The bank notes, which
are always disposed of by actual count
have already been verified, as has nearly
all of the fractional coin on hand, the
silver halves, quarters. and dimes, and
the minor coins-nickels and pennies.
1t will take twenty men twenty days to
count the silver dollars estimating as
Assistant Treasurer Finney does, that
each man will handle about %, 900 pieces
each day. All of the coin is stored in
vaults in the underground apartments of
the custom house, and will have to be
hauled up an old-fashioned pull-the-rope
elevator, which cannot carry more than
forty bags, or about a ton of weight
each trip. Taking thirty-three bags to
ton, it is figured out by a subtreasury
clerk that there will be 10000 bags. in all,
or $50 tons. The weight of $1,000 in these
dollars is about sixty pounds. The total
amount of money which has to undergo
counting is as follows:
