Fifteen Tons of Money a Day

This is the amount of specie which is handled in the carrying forward of the work of the construction of the Panama Canal. The monthly pay-roll is $1,500,000. It takes about three days each month to pay off the workers, for the men are paid, as a rule, in coin, a large percentage being silver. In the three days forty-four tons of money are handled.
