The gold which was used came chiefly from

members Of the Mormon battalion on their re

They carried the precious dust and nuggets in
buckskin pouches to the mint where II was

day. IL was two stories high and contained half
"A dozen rooms.
The crucibles in which the gold melted
were In the cellar. The primitive machine with
which the cooling metal was stamped into coin
stood I'm a back room on the first floor. All the
work was done by hand. and every piece OF the
machinery was made by Salt Lake artisans OF
necessity no base metal appeared in the finished
product Twenty-Five grains OF gold the
equivalent Of a dollar.
The man who had 67h grains turned that
amount over to Mr.. Bullock. who sent IT at once
TO Messrs. Kay and Barlow. Ii was Immediately
melted and turned into n coin OF the value Of
s. 80. SO IL was with the pieces OF larger de

desired could follow his metal with his eyes
from his pouch through the crucible press and

most plentiful and popular Then n large
number OF 81 coins were made ard these. with
the first named, constituted the bulk OF the
mints work. Not many SO pieces minted
and the so coins were still fewer.
The mint ceased operations In 1870 because

United States gold and silver coins. Although
the space OF time since the last pouch emp
tied into Thomas BullOck's money mill" as il
WAS called is comparatively short. few OF the
coins are known to be In existence o-day. Be
cause OF their purity they wore rapidly. and as
consequence deteriorated In value by erosion.
