The Blockade of 90 Years Ago

Owing to the present interrupted traffic conditions on the
Eureka 4 Palisade Railway between Eureka and Palsade, caused
by the unusual heavy flow of water from the surround
ing mountains and canyons on the west side into Diamond Valley,
and smaller streams at other points along the line of railroad run
ming into Pine Valley, where there is another large volume of water
it has naturally caused the people of Eureka and vicinity to become
somewhat apprehensiye as to the ultimate outcome Of these condi-
tions. While the present situation is somewhat alarming, SO far
nothing has occurred to compare with what took place at the time
the T. Il P. Railway was blocked with snow and ice 20 years ago.
when all the traffic was suspended from the 18th of January, 1890,
to the 9th of February, of the same year, when the blockade was
raised.
From the files of the SENTINEL of 1890 the following extracts
are reproduced. showing the conditions at that time and the hard
ships endured by those who were engaged in opening the road from
Eureka to Palisade:

COINS ALL STRIPPED
Secret Service Men Hunt De-
facers of Gold Pieces.
Acids Used to Remove Small Quantl
ties Of Metal from Coins Probe
for the Lincoln Penny
JeWelry Fad.

New York.-Federal secret service
agents under orders from Chief John E.
Wilkie. have been making canvass
of jewelers. and electroplating shops
In the Maiden lane district in an effort
to run down persons suspected of
stripping coins-that is, removing
small quantities of gold or silver from
the surfaces of coins by a chemical
process. Inquiries also were made as
to several new kinds of coin jewelry,
including articles made from Lincoln
pennies.
The inquiry as to coin stripping was
started after many circulating coins.
including 500 gold pieces. were found
to be short of the prescribed weight.
The loss seemed to be more than is
usual when coins are worn off from
frequent handling. They are suspi-
cious that coins have been reduced
in weight by the stripping process, in
which they are dipped for an hour or
two in aqua regia, a mixture Of nitric
and hydrochloric acids, into which an
electric current is turned. When the
electric power and the strength of the
acids are fixed in the proper relation
to the weight of the coins treated. it
| is believed. the metal is "sweated" of

that they are not changed in appear

tained. The coins are passed into cir
culation at their face value. Coins
also have been stripped, 1t is Sis
walls in electroplating tanks.
Many coins that have been offered
for deposit at banks recently have the
designs brought out more sharply than
is natural. 1t is supposed that these
coins have been stripped and were
left in the acid bath too long. But
even in these coins the unframed eye
would see no sign Of mutilation. One
of the largest electroplaters said that
strippers could take as much as a
pennyweight OF gold. worth more than
a dollar. from a $40 gold piece with
out making any easily perceptible
change. There is no risk Of loss in
damaging gold coins. because If the
acid should eat too much or roughen
the surface the entire coin may be
melted up and the metal sold for an
amount equal to the value of the
coin.
A special difficulty in getting evi-
dence against the stripper is that
even II he be caught with the coins
in solution nothing is proved, as he
can say that he intends to use the
coins, instead of bullion. for plating,
and will not try to pass them as
money. There is no law against dis.
solving or melting coins. provided they
are destroyed as currency. and many
jewelers. fuse gold coins instead Of 60
ing to the trouble Of getting bullion
for the purpose. None Of the estab.
lished electroplaters Is suspected OF
being engaged in the illegitimate prac.
tice. 1t is supposed that temporary
plants are put up by strippers in sc.
cluded lofts of factory buildings, as
little equipment is required.
The fad for Lincoln pennies in lew.
elry receiyed attention because a
gold plated penny might be mistaken
for five-dollar gold piece 1t was re-
called that when the flve-cent nickels
were first used they did not have the
word "cent" on them. Many such
coins were plated with gold and
