announcement at the proper time, fur
the mint guards are patrol! tug up and
down outside the big building, careful-
ly watching that no saspicioas charm -

left in their care.
Promptly at midnight the second
shift of the night guard puts in an ap-
pearance to relieve the early thin. 1t
is also oomposed- of . captain and 11
men, and they are split up, as the other
squad, into inside ■ud outside detail'.
From midnight on until 7 o'clock in
the morning they follow in the foot

The big revolvers are not the only
weapons upon which the guards have
to rely. On each side of the main cor-
ridor leading from the Cheetuut street
entrance stands awalnut case. Through
the polished glass front of one frown

tains as many ugly looking carbines.
To grab these dispensers of death would
be but the work of an instant for the
guards, and then woe be unto any man
or men upon whom it might be found
necessary to tnru them.
{rehire -revolvers there -la kept oon-
.tantly on baud in the mint 500 rounds
of ammunition, and for the rifles and
carbines 2,500 rounds. Each of the
guards is an expert in the nee of both
the pistol and the gun, and each is en-
dowed with a plentiful stock of cour-
age; hence a combination capable d[
successfully resisting almost anything
lens than a regiment.
The superintendent and assistant cue-
todian both talked t0 -the reporter about
the methods in use to protect the mint
and its contents. Both smiled signifi-
cantly when the possibility of one get-
ting away with a portion of the vast
treasure was engge*ted,

rest assured if any one who had no
!easiness within these walls was found
he would regret the day he was born.",
In addition to the two shifts of night
guards, the superintendent and a.nietant
oo.todian have a habit of dropping in
at the mint at odd home of the night to
see that everything ii going on all right.
The mint is ronneoted with the °en-
tail telephone station, and should there
be trouble the captain of the guard
oould communicate with police head-
quarters in s brief space of time.
