The art OF engraving by means Of photograph

degree Of perfection that the Government has

yesterday in speaking of this matter: The OK

cy has worked change already in the system
by which the Government has heretofore kept
track Of dangerous counterfeiting methods
Chief Wilkie. | see says that Taylor and Bre-
dell employed a new system in initiating the
500 Monroe head counterfeit. He is wrong. The
sy stem has been in vogue for many years and
is common to all experts in our line. There are
no doubt, hundreds of engraVers who would
scorn to 10 "A dishonest act who could make
counterfeit plates far better than the ones

Of fact, the plate that was used TO print the
counterfeit internal revenue stamps was a very
imperfect piece OF work. and there are appren-

they were good enough TO fool the ordinary per-

Some years ago, Frank Guannella, a con-
tractor Of this city, now dead, used to haul
sand from this point and he claimed that
he frequently found shines when digging
there. The sand was used for paving pur-
poses in the city.
The present lessees who are sinking the

lent quantities to make the mining OF 1t a

Taylor Woolsey, when seen yesterday, was
much amused at the stories that had been
published about the alleged find OF gold. He
said they were not mining for gold but
sinking a shaft for the purpose OF develop
ing a supposed bed Of vermillion mineral
paint that was thought to exist on the farm
OF Fred Spetman, near Hinton Station. No
assay had been made by them Of the sand,
but one was made about two years ago,
when 1t was found to run about Sl7 to the
ton.
| Iron ore was found in that locality some
| few years ago, which showed the existence
| of minerals and 1t was possible that gold
might be found in the sand when they

was from washings brought up in the hole
