WASHINGTON. March 16.-All
railroad communication with the In
terror of Mexico will be cut of within
"a hours by the destruction Of bridges
according to the statement of the
revolutionary junta here today. The
revolutionists say the railroads failed
to stop the transportation Of federal
troops when SO ordered by Madero.
The junta issued a statement as fol-
lows:
THE report that revolutionary sol
diers intend to dynamite the railroad
tracks leading to the interior OF Mex
leo Is true. Such action Is necessary
in order to stop the sending OF federal
soldiers and supplies. The railroads
have been warned time and again to
stop carrying federal forces.
They were told by Francisco Ma
dero that II they stopped the revolu-
tionists would not interfere with their
traffic, but II they continued, their
rails and bridges would be dynamited.
The railroads have paid no attention
to these warnings, and they must now
suffer che consequences.
The revolutionists have no desire
to destroy private property, but It Is
essential to them that they protect
their interests."-,A~,-l5 s -

HAMILTON COMING
TO THE FRONT

The old district of Hamilton.
where in the early days Treasure
Hill yielded fortunes to the
prospectors and miners. is again
looking up and there is a mild
excitement on which in the spring
may be famed into another boom.
Hamilton has had a number of
visitors in the immediate past, and
all bring back the best of stories
regarding showings and develop
ment.
During the week T. Sandderson
president of the Harmony bank of
Harmony, Minnesota, Austin
jacobson of the same place, and
Ed. Half and A. B. Colwell, visited
Hamilton. Mr.. jacobson is the
owner of considerable porperty,
and was one of the pioneers of the
district, living there up to four
years ago. Mr.. Sanders,n is
married to his sister, and he has
other relatives living in Harmony.
n 1t is his intention to have
patented all of the property which
has not already been patented;
then to form stock company, and
divide the stock among his
relatives. Messrs Half and Col
we'll went out to do the surveying
for the patents. 1t is expected
that development work will be
begun by the new company in the
spring.
W. S. Larsh, who was assistant
superintendent at the Veteran
when it closed down, ~as also a
visitor to the old camp. He has
interests there, the principol one
being in the San Toy mine, now
under lease to the Ely Hamilton
investment company. He went
with the party, and made an
inspection of the San Toy. Mr..
Larsh enjoys the regulations of
being one of the best mining
engineers ever in the district; and
he satisfied himself of conditions on
the old camp and more especially
in the San Toy shaft. He was
much pleased with what he saw.
On his return, he stated that
there was no doubt that they had
in the Son Toy the ore of Treasure
Hill, and that further development
Would prove it. The vein he said
in place and the chances of find
ing good bodies of ore are of the
very best. The quartz, he said
showed bromide and chloride Of
silver, with brown manganese, one
of the best indications for ore in
the White Pine silver belt. The
quartz is showing larger and the
values are increasing in the drift
from the shaft to the north; and
in his opinion continued develop
mcnt will open up as good deposits
as we're found in Treasure Hill in
the old days. Mr.. Larsh has gone
to Colorado, where he is to
examine some mining property

A number of interesting facts
regarding the silver dollar were
disc. Vered during the writer's
investigation of this subject. s..
For instance 200 new standard
silver dollars will weigh exactly
1892 pounds. If the country's
stock of 564.6O4.7l9 silver dollars
were loaded into freight cars of
600 pounds or 80 tons capacity.
it would require more than $50
cars to carry them.
If these same silver dollars
could be laid flat, one OIL top of
the other. they would make a
monument 835 miles high. If
placed end. to end they would
make handsome necklace" 49,
$50 miles in length. Or they
would make belt that would ex-
tend more than halfway around
the world.
One thousand dollars in new
gold coins weighs 1888 pounds.
Uncle Sans stock of gold, there
fore, is equivalent to about 5000
tons, which would require tram
of 100 cars to carry it, each car
having a carrying capacity Of more
than 5000 pounds.
Another interesting fact in con
nection with paper money is that
a million crisp. new 81 paper bills,
If placed one on top of the other,
would make column about 26O
feet in height, or nearly half as
high as the Washington Monuemnt.
United States paper currency is
issued in Nominations of 81, So,
SIS, $40. $50, $50, 500, $500,
$1,000 and $4,000. The notes
are put up in packages containing
1000 nf each denomination. So,
while package of 1000 81 silver
certificates, about 7 inches square,
contains but $4,000 yet similar
size package of 81 900 gold GER
tificates would contain the euqiy-
alent of $4O,OOO.OOO.
When the seat of the Uni ted
States COVER nment was removed
from Philadelphia to Washington
in 1900 the treasury department
was installed in a small wooden
building, which was completed in
1899. 1t was at the northeast
corner of the site of the present
building. fronting on Fifteenth
street. In 1901 it was practically
destroyed by fire, and in 1914 was
completely burned at the hands Of
the British and most of the files
and documents destroyed. An
other building was speedily
er. cted. This was also destroyed
by fire on March 81, 1886. This
time most of documents of value
were removed by the clerks.
A new building, the nucleus of
the present was authorized by act
of congress July q. 1886. The
building was completed in 1912.
1t extended along Fifteenth street
and was $40 feet long by ITO feet
wide. BY the act of March 8,
1855, the continuation Of ;hs
building was authorized. The
south wing was completed and
occupied in 1861. Operations
were suspended during the civil war
for awhile, but in 1864 the west
wing was completed. Immediately
adjoining this wing at the north
end Of the east wall was the west
end Of the nld state department
building. In November, 1866,
this building was vacated by the
department and 1t was Immediately
demolished. The work Of laying
the north wing of the building
became necessary in May, 1867.
In 1869 this wing was finished,
thus completing the building as II
stands today. The dimensions of
