Be. sides the men the trucks carried small kegs and iron bound boxes, which were unloaded on the alongside of the steamship Servia, which sailed in the aft- ernoon, The men carefully carried the kegs and boxes to the after part of the vessel, where they were locked in an iron chamber. The kegs and boxes held 2, 150,000 worth of gold, which was going to Europe. On the steamship Baltic £2,350,000 in gold was shipped. The gold was in the form of bars and double eagles, and was the largest amount shipped on a single day for several years, The gold bars were obtained in exchange for gold certificates at the assay office, and the double eagles came from the vaults of the subtreasury, where gold cer- titicateg were deposited in their stead. The double eagles were delivered in canvas bags, each holding €5,000. The bars, which are worth anywhere between 4,000 and £5,000 each, were packed in saw-dust in wooden boxes. They were carried on trucks to the offices of the firms that had bought them, and were then boxed and barrelled and carted off to'the steamship piers under heavy guard. The little kegs and iron-bound boxes stored in the ‘‘treasure room’ on the Servia wore forty all told, and were count- ed by the purser and all the officers be- fore the large iron door was closed and locked. The purser has the money in his especial cars. The storing of so much wealth in theServivacreatedno particular atir. It is not unusnal for us to receive on board large amounts of gold,” said a clerk at the wharf. *“We carry more or less on every trip.”’ “What precautions are taken against robbery?” “In the first place, the treasure room ig of 1ron and is as strong as any bank safo. It has complicated locks, and no cracksmen, no matter how clever they were could get into it inside of a | flooded by @ subterranean spring. Dawage to works “wl |4fl9 week.” “Is it especially guarded during the trip?” “Yes, it is thoroughly looked after. The purser and ofticers thoroughly in- spect it three times a day and three times at night.” “Was the Servia's treasure chamber ever broken into?” “‘Never, and no one ever tried to break into it. Anyway, if thieves did get in, they could not very well carry away the wold, for it is too heavy. The gold in theso forty kegs and boxes weighs close to 25,000 pounds.” A weather-beaten man with a dropping eye-lid, who had been listening, tapped the reporter on the shoulder as he was leaving the wharf, oung man,” he said, ‘“‘ever heerd of Cap'n Kidd? Well, his plunder warn't a rope yarn to a six-inch hawser alongside this here wealth in the Servia, Ef Kidd was around theso days them millions wouldn’t never get across the pond. Wot a pity for him he's dead.” The superintendent of an importing hcuse which is constantly sending out large amounts of gold said yesterday that the house insures it. The firm get the money from the sub-treasury or assay office, prepare it for shipping and then lodge it in the vessel. There their trouble ends. Do you send any one along to watch it on the way!” “Noj it would do no good. The money is perfectly safe in the vessel and in the extremely improbable event of a pir tical attack cur man might get killed. “Why do you send out gold?”’ “‘Because 1t is impossible to buy com- mercial bills, There are not any in the market,” e A Dry Stream, “Talking about floods,” said a traveler from Colorado, *‘if you want to see a food sometime that is one, go out to Western Nebraska and gaze on the Platte when she’s riled. Take her in a dry spell and there ain’t a tamer stream on earth. One day, before there was any bridges built west «f Grand Island, a party of us were going to Julesburg—that was years ago, when there was a Julesburg. In an aft- ernoon we come to a low, sandy place, where there were some puddles of water standing around here and there. After we'd picked our way across the sand with- out wetting our feet, I says to an old stager, ‘Weo can't be far trom the Platte now.’ ‘The Platte!' he says; ‘why, you tenderfcot, we have just crossed it.’ Well, there wasn't hardly water enough there to float a skingle, nothing but sand and old snags of trees, But the next day we came to what 1 thought was an inland ocean. ‘What lake is that? I inquired of the old stager. ‘Lake!’ he says; ‘lake! that ain’t no lake. That's thes Platte!’ You may put a cow brand on my left haunch if it wasn’t a mile wide and run- ning over the tops of the cottonwoods. Aund it hadn't rained a drop where we were, but there must have been some lively waterspouts and snow melting up in the mountains."” — He Got an Order.
