FACTS ABOUT U. 8. COINS
NOT GENERALLY KNOWN

The director of the mint is Gale
on to answer such a wide range o
questions concerning the values o
old and new coins ard medals tina
he has found 1t necessary to issu
circulars covering matters of thi
sort.
Mutilated or uncurrent United
States gold and silver coin is pur
chased as bullion. The mint has NJ
pattern pieces for sale. The Gov
eminent pays no premium for thu
return of any of its coins or paper
money. New coins cannot be struck
until authorized by an act of Con
gress. The mint supplies United
States coins only, and not of any
past date.
The coinage of the following
coins ceased in the years named
Half and one-cent, copper, in 1867;
one-cent, nickel, 1864; half-dime and
cents. silver, and two cents, bronze,
in 1873; twenty cents, silver, 1878;
trade dollars, 1888; one dollar and
three dollars gold, and two cents,
nickel, 1889. The Columbian half
dollar was coined in 1898. The Laf-
ayette dollar was struck in 1899, the
date on the coin $4,000 being that
of the unwilling of the memorial.
There are certain markings on ev-
cry United States coin that enable
the place of it's coinage to be located.
Those struck at Philadelphia mint
have no mark, but those struck at
all other minis are distinguished by
a small letter on the reverse, near
the bottom. These letters are, G.,
for Charlotte, N. c., discontinued in
1861; &C. for Carson City, New, dis
continued in 1898; D, for Dahlone-
ga, Ga, discontinued in 1861; o, for
New Orleans, and s, for San Fran
cisco.
The coins of the United States
now authorized by law are: In gold,
double eagle, eagle, half-eagle and
quarter-eagle; in silver, half-dollar,
quarter dollar and dime; minor, five
cent, nickel, and one-cent, bronze. A
person may buy a proof set of gold
coins from the mint for thirty-eight

AMERICAN HORSE MARKET
VERY MUCH DIMINISHED

1t is good news for the army that
the British Government has stopped
buying horses and mules in the
American market. AS 1t is. the Brit
ish and their allies have swept the

and If we were called upon to-mor-
row to put in the field a large army,
for Mexican service, let us say, we
should be very considerably handi-
capped for mounts and draught ami
mails. Hundreds of thousands of an
imals have left these shores in the
last IS months. the Kansas City
markets alone having contributed
$4,000 horses and 10000 mules to
the British army. II has been esti-
mated by veterinarians that it will
be some years before the supply Of
horses. especially, can be readjusted.
