NORTH CAROLINA COINS.
The Bechtler Dollar and Five Dollar
Gold Pieces.

From the Wilmington IN c. Star.
Prof. w. e. Hidden of Newark, n. j.
spent last week in RutherfordtOn as the
guest of MI NJ. o. Dickerson, clerk of the
superior court of Rutherford county. Prof
Hidden Is an eminent geologist and mining
engineer and his name will be recognized
as the origin of the name of the beautiful
stone called Hiddenite, q valuable emerald
green gem found in western North Caro-
lima. It was SO named because OF its dis
covery by Prof. Hidden about 1881 while
exploring Alexander county, n. c.
The interesting announcement is made
concerning the visit of the eminent gentle
man to North Carolina that he is here
seeking data concerning the late Christie
pher Bechtler, who resident Of Ruth
erfordton many years prior to the civil
war and there coined the gold mined in
the mountain region round about. The
Bechtler dollar and five-dollar pieces were
once extensively circulated in North and
South Carolina and passed at their face
value everywhere.
The fact Is they contained greater ratio
of gold than those of United States mint
age. but under the coinage laws of the gov
eminent the Bechtler mint had to close
shop. Thousands of dollars meanwhile had
gotten into circulation, but many of the
coins drifted to the United States mint at
Charlotte, where they We're reminted, while
others fell into the hands of parties who
preserved them as curios. We have seen
quite a number of them in upper South
Carolina, but those who possess them can
not be induced to part with them. These
North Carolina coins bring all kinds of
prices. and 1t is a lucky man who has one
or more of them
Prof. Hidden. during his visits to North
Carolina, learned Of Mr.. Bechtler and his
mint and became deeply interested He is
gathering data to write a biography of
Bechtler and history of his coinage oper-
ations. 1t Is stated. however, that he will
get out an edition of only $50 copies of his
book. Prof. Hidden has fine collection of
Bechtler coins and wants more of them
offering handsome prices for this historic
North Carolina gold money

The proper labelling of the animals in the
Geological Park is a constant puzzle TO
Director Hornaday. The label that can
Withstand the assaults of New York's veri-
egated weather has not been invented, and
as many of the mammals live out of doors
In mild weather their labels require frequent
renewals Painted labels grow dim, printed
ones fade and even enamel on sheet
steel is not proof against extremes of heat
ana cold. The latest experiment Is with
the labels for the bears. These are painted
upon sheet steel-with maps of geographical

even these labels will last longer than two

trust that they will always be symbolical of
cordial relations and neighborly regard of
the two people through whose veins flows

We owe allegiance to different institu-

of the mightiest powers upon this earth.
We have no sense of rivalry except in
those ways which make for higher and
better civilization.
There are no Notifications along our COM
mon frontier; NO baItleShipS upon the
tiers which divide us. These are not needed
now, and we trust that in Gods providence
they shall never be required. We are the

distinct from our own, they will like

in 1905, the region they inhabit is
opened to settlement.
Some Of these peoples, voters and
non-voters, comprised within the area
mentioned, are very curious and inter
esting. For instance, there are the
Havasupi, who live deeper down in
the bowels Of the earth than any, other
known human beings. Their dwelling
place is Cataract Canyon, an offshoot
of Grand Canyon, which Is called the
Place of the Ladders, because the
town at the bottom can be reached
only by such means, descending the
vertical cliffs. These strange folk tan
buckskin and make beautiful baskets;
and they own wonderful deposits Of
copper ore and red earth suitable for
the manufacture Of paints, which are
eagerly sought by the Moki for color
ing their weird masks and other para
phernalia for ceremonial dances. The
Moki are such marvellous runners that
frequently they make a trip on foot to
the canyon, a distance Of 100 miles, in
single day.
The Moki of Arizona and the Zuni
of New Mexico are called Pueblo In
dians-the word pueblo" meaning a
town. They are builders of towns OF

BACK TO BAlKAL.
Russians May Continue Their Retreat
When Harbin is Reached.


st. Petersburg, March 24.-The pos
slbility that, if the Russian army
should be unable to hold the lower line
of the Sungari river and Chunchiatsu,
it may be compelled to retreat not only
to Harbin, but also further westward
along the railroad, abandoning to the
Japanese Northern Manchuria and the
Russian maritime Amur provinces as
we'll. is the latest startling news from
the front.
The strategic weakness of General
Linievitch's position az he falls back
northward is made clear by the Gunshu
dispatches to the Associated Press, in
which it is pointed out that, unless
Chunchiatsu and the Sungari lines, a
scant 100 miles below Harbin, can be
held, it will be difficult to maintain a
position farther back before Harbin,
where, with the front of the army par
alleling the railroad, the practicability
of turning movement to completely
sever communications and isolate the
army 5000 miles from home is too SER
ious for Russian consideration. In view
of this possibility the dispatch alluded
to suggests the advisability of immedi-
ately providing Vladivostok with wal
munitions and supplies for q two years.
