COINAGE OF DOUBLE EAGLES.
Loads of Them Coming from the Mint
Every Day.
Philadelphla Telegraph:

L lildOGllfilld lNANoARRh"
Six hundred thousand dollars worth of
glittering double eagles are now made at
the mint every day, and If the work shall
be continued on coins of this denomination
the coinage Of all the gold bullion in the in
stitutiou will not be completed for three
and one-half months. Some idea of the
magnitude of the work may be obtained
from the statement that 500 persons are on
the pay rolls. About $4,000, 900 or bullion
is still in the vaults. and the gold currency
in the mint totals about $2O,00,0O.
OF the $4, O22, 900 in double eagles coined
last month $13,1 40, 200 worth were made from
the 10th ult. to the S1st ult., inclusive.
During the early part of the month prepare
tiOns for the work were under way, and the
full capacity of the money-making institu-
ton was not tested until Jan. 10. For this
reason the output this month Will exceed
that for January. The employees of the
melting, refining and coming departments,
who are factors in the production of money,
worked last month from s a. m. until 6 p.
m. two hours over their regular time. Dur
ing this month, however, they will quit
work at 4 o'clock. and this rule will be OBJ
served hereafter unless it shall be found alb
solutely necessary to labor overtime, a con-
ditiOn not looked for.
coinage OF double eagles would be continued
until the Treasury Department shall order
a change. Orders to coin eagles or half
eagles may come at any time, but there is
no indication at present that the output of
double eagles will be discontinued. The
processes employed in the production of the
coins are as varied as they are intricate.
For example. when the bullion is first taken
up all impurities are removed and the sill
yer is extracted. The gold then passes
through these respective stages:
Alleging fine bullion to standard hneness
(900. melting and pouring into molds to
make ingots. assaying the ingots, rolling,
annealing and running the draw benches,
cutting planchets Cblank pieces), cleaning
planchetS, selecting planChets removing inn
perfect pieces). adjusting, reviewing work
of adjusters. milling. whitening. coming.
proving reweighing of the COIN. and, final
~. counting and delivering to the superin-
tendent.
The system Of manufacture is perfect. but
MY those who are conversant with the
making of money" and particularly gold
money, can appreciate the ingenuity re-
quired 10 transform bullion into coin of the
