1t is supposed that the DOMAIN 'aes"
at first weighed about a pound. That
was pretty unwieldy sort of coin, so
the weight was gradually reduced.
The Roman coins form the simplest
kind of record of the history of the
nation, both under the consuls and un-
der the emperors. In the time of the
consuls each of the great families
struck off its own coins, and each, like
the cities, had their own symbol. One,
for example, used the lobster; another
the head of Janus. The imperial coins
usually bear the head of the emperor
with the inscription imperator for the
first Tor second, or third) time. The
Chinese probably did not begin coin
ing much before the Christian era,
and after them came the various Mo-
hammedan coins and the coinage of
the various states of Europe. The
period of Chinese coins may be deter
mined frequently by their curious I'M
wieldy shapes. There are some in
the form of a razor-handle and all.
Others represent fans, keys, lozenges
and the like. Counterfeiting doesn't
trouble the coin collector much. 1t
hardly pays to prepare fake antiques
for numismatists, for the price he gets
for them is comparatively small.-Vil-
gil N. Brand in Chicago Record

Ancient Coins Weighed a Pound.

The history of coinage takes me
about as far back into history as we
want to go. Probably the first coins
were made about 700 years before
Christ. Authorities differ as to who
began it. Some attribute the first
coins to the Chinese, but most people
take that with a good deal Of salt.
The Chinese like to talk great deal
about their extreme antiquity, and
they've got the habit, SO that they
fake a good deal. The first coins, as
far as we really know, were made by
the inhabitants of the island of Ae-
gina, off the coast of Greece, near
Athens. OF course, originally cattle
were the generally accepted medium
of exchange. From "pecus," a herd,
we have our word ''pecuniary." For
convenience, some one devised the
idea of stamping out counters in
bronze. You couldn't very we'll give
half COW in exchange for a thing,
but you could give a small counter.
At first they were simply arbitrary
tokens, corresponding to our bank
notes, and had little intrinsic value.
Curiously enough, it was a long time
before gold and silver were used.
The Romans began coming about
400 B. c., but it was 700 years before
Rome used the precious metals, al
though some of the first Greek coins
were of silver. Each of the Greek
and Roman cities had its emblem,
usually an animal. Aegina used the
turtle, Ephesus had the bee. Carthage
the horse and Metapontum the ear of
wheat. Athens stamped the owl on
its coins, and this fact turns up a
curious bit of history. For the owl
has come to be known universally as
the bird of wisdom, simply because it
was associated with Athens. Athens
adopted the bird not because it was
wise-it is about as stupid as they
make them-but because they were
plentiful in the woods about that city.
Strangely enough, examples of the
earliest known coinage are not nearly
so hard to get as some of the later
ones. There were no banks then, and
when a man became rich he buried his
treasure for safe keeping. Then he'd
go off to war and die and the money
would be lost. They are constantly
coming upon these collections of
ancient coins. Not long ago more
than $4,000 silver pieces of Alexander
of Macedon were found in one place.

Mining Company VIII Contest Timber
Ruling.

A Spokane, Wash, dispatch says:
Telegraphic advices from San Fran
cisco say that the United States court
of appeals has awarded judgment in
favor of the federal government for
3,30OS In it's suit against the Bunker
Hill & Sullivan Mining company of
Wallace, Idaho, holding that the COM
pany had no right to cut timber from
land included in a mineral zone, as
such right does not exist. The ruling
is of far-reaching Importance, and it is
given out that the company will az
peal to the supreme court of the Unit
ed States.
Judge Dietrich of the district court
of Idaho ruled at the first trial that a
homestead entryman had the right to
cut timber from his claim and to sell
it, provided the proceeds of such sale
were actually invested for the i'm
provement of land embraced within
his entry, but that such timber could
not be sold prior to patent and the
proceeds disposed of in any other man.
ner. From this decision the mining
Mohave County miner. [volume] (Mineral Park, A.T. [Ariz.]) 1882-1918, 1910-05-28

company appealed to the circuit court.
! The facts relating to the trespass
show that w. NJ. Messenger filed on a
homestead in Shoshone county, Idaho,
covering 100 acres and made the usual
affidavit setting forth the nOn-mineral
character of the land. A small cabin
was erected and two or three acres
were cleared and used for garden pur-
poses. Soon after making the entry
he contracted with the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan Mining company to sell tim
Der for mining purposes in cOrdwood
to the amount of 3,5OOS, taken from his
entry. The mining company had
knowledge that Messenger entered
the land as homestead.
Suit was instituted by the govern
ment against the mining company for
the value of the timber sold by the
homesteader. As defense the COM
pany set up that Messenger had enter
ed the land in good faith and cut tim
Der for the purpose of improving and
cultivating his place, and as a second
defense sasd that it was not until after
he had made his entry that the land
was mineral in character, and under
took to justify its action under the act
of June 3, 1878, which permits the cut
ting of timber from mineral lands for
mining, manufacturing and domestic
purposes, under the regulations of the
department of the interior, with which
it was alleged they had fully complied.
Testimony was introduced at the
trial showing that mineral locations
had been made on various parts of the
property and large sums spent for the
development Of mines thereon. Min
ing men and mineral experts testified
concerning the mineral character of
the land. At the close of the testi-
mony District Attorney Lingenfelter
asked the court to take from the jury
all testimony concerning the mineral
character of the land on the ground
that the defense was stopped from set
ting up mineral defense after the
entryman had denuded the land of its
timber, under the homestead law.
which the court allowed. The case
then went to the jury on the good
faith of the entrymen under the home
stead law. A verdict was returned in
favor of the government, and the
damages asked for were granted.
The issue 10 this decision is similar
to that in the case of the United States
against K. p. Plowman, probably the
most celebrated timber trespass cases
in the history of the state of Idaho, in

which Judge ]. n. Beatty of the feder-
al district court for the central divi-
sion, ruled that the act of June 3, 1878,
would permit the cutting of timber
from all lands within a mineral zone.
His position was affirmed by the Unit
ed States court of appeals, but the de-
cision was reversen by the supreme
court of the United States, which
places, a construction upon the act as
to cOntine mining companies TO the
land virtually embraced within their
claims.

A Silver City, N. NJ, dispatch says:
Fire destroyed the 100 ton concentra-
tor and mill of the Mogollon Gold and

ty, together with 500 feet of timber

The west drift in the shaft on the
Whitehall is looking much better,
there being, on Thursday, nearly a
full face of ore carrying low grade
copper, says the Paradise Record and,
judging by past results in the east
drift where ore apparently running at
least % per cent. copper was encount-
cred, the ore in the west drift may be
expected to increase in value as driv-
ing proceeds. The boarding house is
completed and occupied, and construc =
tion of the next building in order, the
office, has been commenced. The
buildings are being erected on COM
pany ground just east of Whitehall
creek, where there is a good site and
where they can be on the wagon road
and all together.

Tailed Men

An anthropologist, as he seated himself, lifted the tail of his coat carefully.
 Another story about tailed men," he began, has just come out of New Guinea. These men are said to dwell in the interior. Their tails are short and stiff, and their chairs and stools have holes at the back of the seat, through which the tail may pass. Fur thermore, the poor fellows carry pointed slaves wherewith, when they sit down on the ground, they may bore a place for their unhandy appendages to rest in. They can't lie on their backs, either.
 There must exist somewhere tailed men, for literature and leg end the world over are full of sto- ries of such people. We know, besides, from the coccyX, or end of the backbone, that we once, all of us, had tails, presumably of the short and stiff variety.
 In the middle ages the cultured i French and Italians believed that the English were tailed. Bishop Bale, you know, wrote with quaint impatience, An Englishman can not now travayle in another land ', by way of marchandvse or any other occupyinge, but it is most contumeliousely thrown in his teeth that all English have tailes.
 The thought of tails is instinc. tive with us. Hence, we wear tails to our coats, and our women wear tails, ,or trains, to their gowns. Till Stanley found the pigmies, the pigmy legend was discredited. Some day another Stanley will find in Borneo or New Guinea a race of nude, brown cannibals, with tails, and every side-show will exhibit our tailed brothers to us for a dime. "
