BRANCH MINT.
In view of this general substitution and
resuming, and the necessity arising for
the proposed Western branch mint. Mr..
Wells has written DIR. Linderman, asking
him to 90 in person or send some one to
look at the old arsenel, now a cavalry de-
pot at st. Louis so as to report to the
committee If 1t is available for a mint. 1t
Is believed this will prove just the thing
or mint with better buildings and more
extensive grounds than can be had in
my other Western city. 1t can easily be
dispensed with as a cavalry depot and
made Immediately available for mint.
