 Refining the Bullion


 When Uncle Sam wants silver for coinage, he buys it ordinarily in the open market. paying the current price. He gets it in the form of bullion, from the dealers and the first thing he does with it is to put it through a process of refining.
 At the hints the bullion is melted in electric furnaces-this being a new way of dealing with it. It is then poured, as fluid. into iron molds, from which. after cooling. it comes out in the shape of bricks. The fine ness'' of the bricks is determined by assaying small pieces taken from them.
 The bricks then go to the makeup room,' where they are again melted, enough copper being added to make the mixture 90 per cent. silver and 10 per cent of the baser metal. This mixture is run into molds, out of which it comes in the form of what are called t'ingots." In the language of the hints, these ingots are 1900 fine"
 The ingots are sliced into strips, which are rolled in a machine to the exact thickness of the coins that are 1engthwise beneath a punch, which jumps rapidly up and down, punch ing out disks that fall into a recep- tacle beneath.
 Finishing the Blanks
 The blanks are then put into an- other machine which gives to each one a raised rim all around, called the milling; and the same machine contributes the ''reeding." which is the series of corrugations surrounding the edge. Take a look at any silver coin

 EN Yosemite Valley when they Fl N E think of the Yosemite National A kPark and this is the section usually visited but it is only a small part of the great expanse which the Government has set aside that all may enjoy. The Park is easily reached for it is only one hundred and forty miles from San Francisco. Its glacial land scapes are astounding. and to the great Ice King of Nature-that mys- terious King of the Glacier Age, John Muir and others who have made ex- haustive studies of the Valley attrib- ute its beautiful formation. Other theories have been advanced but the best authorities think the glacial pc riod was the maker. It is a depres- high glacial rocks, and today there glacial lakes.
 Yosemite Valley Only Part Of Park
 The country to the north of the famous Valley also belongs to the National Park and for twenty years scientists have been tryingNto draw at tention to it but with little success. The Valley is only a small part of the Park for there are other remarka ble areas such as the Hetch-Hetchy Val lev widely known because of the con- test to secure it as a source of water sunpIv for San Francisco. There is also the Grand Canyon of the Tuo- lunnne which John Muir pronounced a .'wonderfully exact counterpart of the

 Orleans, Denver, Carson City and San Francisco been nearly so overwhelmed with work as during the last twenty months.
 Yet, in that period not single gold piece has been struck. The country has needed small change in unpre- cedented quantities. and it had to be furnished. So the presses have been kept going increasingly to manufacture silver dimes, quarters and halves.
 Not silver dollar has been minted; !; there was no need. Indeed, the vaults of the Treasury, for To, these many years have been gorged with "cart- wheel dollars" unused for any purpose except as a basis for the issue of silver certificate representing them. People do not like these big, heavy coins; they prefer paper dollars.
 It is related that on one occasion a 'spite debtor" paid a debt of $50, 900 with a ton of silver dollars, delivering them on an afternoon too late for de- posit that day in bank. There was TO law to prevent; but smaller silver coin is not legal tender" in amounts above $10-
 Two years ago the Treasury had more than 35O.OOo.OOo silver cart wheel dollars in stock Great Britain was in desperate need of silver for coinage in India. German propa- ganda had created a near-panic among the natives. who. being led to believe that England was not solvent, de- manded silver from the governm ent s in exchange for the paper money they held. There was not enough silver on hand to meet the demand, and an ap- peal for supplies was addressed to Uncle Sam.

As one enters the Valley proper he is greeted with falls and as he goes slow ly down the plateau through which winds the Merced he sees falls tumb- ling first from one side and then from the other. These falls are different heights and widths. The Ribbon Fall drops twenty-three hundred feet, and others drop six hundred, three hun dred,-a thousand feet as the case may be. Over cliffs of polished gran 1te, under the bald dome of Liberty Cap, the Nevada Falls, the widest of the Yosemite cataracts. plunges five hundred and ninety-four feet into an abyss Detached, comet-like masses shoot down and banners of rainbow spray fly as the falls reach the Valley. Nevada and Verna1 Falls are in the midst of remarkable rock scenery and the latter plunges from a granite ledge like an endless shower of shooting stars. One of the most beautiful of the falls is Illi1ouette which plunges six hundred feet. At times the wind catches the great volume of water and holds it for moment so that it seems to rest on air only to collapse with re- Inewed rush later.

 The valley is about seven miles long, lthree-fourths of a mile deep and one mile wide. It has a floor covered with grass and trees and the river Merced Ibeautif1es it.

Two points of difference
and advantage

THE Geyser Electric Washer
l. possesses two distinct advan-
tages smallness and washing
principle
The family size machine occupies
t1oor space of about "a inches
square, yet it easily holds as large
a wash as machines occupying
greater space. This is possible be-
cause the unique Geyser washing
principle utilizes the entire tank
and cylinder space instead of only
about one third of it.
When you turn on the switch a
powerful propeller beneath the
clothes cylinder creates a "geyser"
OF hot, sudsy water which goes
through and through the clothes
and, at the same time, causes the
cylinder to revolve, tunbling the
clothes over and over and adding
greatly to the thoroughness Of
cleaning. When you place your
clothes Of dainty materials in a
Geyser Washer there is nothing to
harm them.

trically welded frame. All water
