special says that DR.. Lenderman, direc.
tor of the mint, will be here about Sep
TENDER 18th. There is much interest in
his return, as he has been gathering
most interesting statistics as to our
mineral wealth in the west, and care

new mint. From present indications it

will take a complicated form and its To-
cation will not be secured through the
representations of any one delegation,
but by n combination between the west
and east. 1t is therefore of importance
to know the plan at present agitated in
the east, which may serve the western
delegations as means to the end of
gaining the new mint.
