decay, is said to be the best proof OF
the artistic character of the Moorish
dominion in Spain. 1t stands on a hill
north of Granda and is surrounded
by wall built of red brick. The
structure was in times long past the
fortified palace citadel of the Moorish
kings, and all that remains is now
grouped about two principal oblong
courts, known as the Court Of Bless
ing and the Court of Lions. In the
latter is an arcade supported by 1874
white marble columns. There is a
network of smaller apartments. and
all the surfaces are decorated with
what has been built between 124S and
1854, the first work having been done
by King Mohammed lbn-el.Ahmar. 1t

FIRST MINT TO FALL
OLD PHILADELPHIA STRUCTURE
/. WILL BE TORN DOWN.
Modern Warehouse to Replace Build.
Ina Where Earliest Coins Of the
I, United States Were
X Struck.

Philadelphia.-One by one the old
landmarks in this city which were the
pride OF our first president, George
Washington, are disappearing. The
latest heroic structure to be removed
is the old United States mint building
at Nos. 81 and 80 North Eleventh
street, which was sold under the
hammer recently for s45.000 by the j..
Louis Hates estate to Frank H. Stew
art of this city, who will give GER
tain portions of the building such as
the corner stone pillars and other val
liable stones, which are of historic
value, to the Historic society of Penn
lsylvania. Mr.. Stewart will demolish
the old structure with great care. as it
fs believed that in certain crevises
many valuable old coins may be
found. Upon its site modern ware
house will be erected.
There is nothing at all striking
about the building, which has very
plain front, and of the thousands of
persons who daily pass up and down
Seventh street, some who are business
men, visitors. laborers, ETC.. very few
of them knoW that behind its VEN
erable walls this country turned out
the first coins ever struck for the
United States. 1t is three stories
high, and at present occupied by
shops.
Through the center of the building
is an alley which runs to the points

by the natives of the Mishmi Hills on
the northern frontier of Assam.
whence the first specimen was OBJ
tanned by Brian Hodgson 40 years ago
from native hunters. 1t occurs also
IN the mountainous regions of western
China, where a pale-colored variety
of the species was discovered by Pere
David, and in Thibet. The takin is not
rare in the high mountainous regions
where 1t occurs. Collecting at cer-
tain seasons in herds, it is said to seek
protection in the high forests and to
feed on grassy downs from which the
snow is melted by the winter sun. 1t
has rarely until to-day been shot by
sportsmen on account of the political
as we'll is physical difficulties present
ed to exploration in the country which
it inhabits. The recent British expedi-
ton in Thibet resulted in some fur
ther expeditions across the frontier,
and few specimens of the takin have
thus come to hand.
The scientific interest attaching to
the takin depends on the fact that it
furnishes one of the numerous links
between the antelopes and the more
familiar sheath-horned ruminants
which we know as cattle (ox, buffalo,
bison), sheep and goats.
The takin has in the adult broad tu-
mid bases to the horns, which nearly
meet in the middle line, and a curva-
ture which is not unlike that presented
by the horns of the gnu. There is,
however, one northern cavicorn-the
musk OK of the arctic circle-which in
the general character of the horns
and limbs, with large lateral hoofs,
presents marked resemblance to the
takin.
1t is probable that the takin is an
offshoot of the antelope stock which
ultimately produced the musk OK, just
as the chamois, the serow and the 60
raj are probably remnants of another
antelope line of ancestry which gave
rise to the goats and sheep.

where the mechanical plant and smelt.
ers were located, the front of the
structure having been used for the of.
fees Of the mint. Very little remains
now to indicate that the building was
once used for its original purposes,
with the exception of the old vaults
in the basement. which are still in
good state OF preservation. The mass
i've blocks Of stone that were used in
their construction and the substantial
character OF the work speak we'll for
the mechanics in the old days.
The building is nearly lis years old.
On April 2. 1892, congress passed an
act providing for the erection of the
mint. The lot was bought on July
18. 1892. and the corner stone laid
with Masonic ceremonies on July 81.
On this occasion President George
Washington took an active part in the
ceremonies.
The first coins made there were cop
per pennies In 1898. The first purchase
Tor this purpose was six pounds Of
copper scrap. for which one shilling
and six pence was paid. The coming
of silver was begun in 1894 and in the
following year gold currency was first
made.
Many OF the early coins that are
most highly priced by numismatists

which are now extremely rare. and on
which there is large premium. and
the 1904 dollar, of which there are but
four authentic specimens In existence.
and which are highly valued by coin
hunters and dealers. were coined
there.
The old building was maintained for
coin purposes until 1895. when 1t was
superseded by the second mint. on
Chestnut street. corner of Juniper In
the following year the property was
ordered to be sold by the secretary
of the treasury. and was put up at
public auction at the Philadelphia ex.
change and knocked down to Michael
Hates for $500. His heirs have re.
tained possession ever since that time.
The property measures 81 by l16 feet.
and has lot extending II by 20 to
Filbert street. II is assessed for
$4,000.
1t was announced by Mr.. Stewart
that he intended presenting to the
Historical society of Pennsylvania. OF
which he is member. the corner
stone. which will undoubtedly contain
various articles of q historic nature.
There is possibility that Mr.. Stew.
art may realize several thousand dol.
lars when he demolishes the building
by scraping the chimneys and the roof
for particles of gold that escaped in
the crude methods of refining cen.
tury ago Great care will be taken
in the destruction OF the building to
insure the saving Of such hidden
wealth.

JASPER REPRESENTATIVES, LAW
c. ID. Meeker Wants to Simplify Real
Estate Transfers.

Representative Curtis D. Meeker. of
Monticello, is planning TO introduce
into the present Legislature a bill TO
simplify the transfer of real estate.
1t will be modelled after the Terrence
law in Illinois. The chances are that
it will be fought TO a finish by alb
stractors throughout the state because
1t would, if passed, take a good many
dollars out Of their pockets in the
course OF year. The object of the
bin will be to make the state guarantee
real estate titles. Under such a law
Mr. Meeker declares that deeds to real
estate would be used as collateral at
banks.
i will also work to repeal the pres
ent ditch law said Mr.. Meeker at In
