Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-08-19

Superintendent Crawford Of the Car
son Mint has been up among The
BonanZans. lie was there on Thurs
day and Dan De guile cnrnered bin
and, as George Francis Train would
say, tapped him. 1t is AS follows thai
he is reported. He represents tho
people East as clamorous for silver
1t is long time since tho older mem
bers Of their staid communities have
handled it as currency, and genera
ton is growing up which has never
| seen more than here and there stray
coin. All, when they get hold of any
OF it, say that it is Just what they want.
Its value is not a representative one,
| il is intrinsic. They delight in its
| ringing music, and long to hear it
juggling in their pockets and As it falls
upon the counters in trade. They
have had no fault to find with the
greenback and fractional currency, so
long as its use seemed a necessity:
but now that silver is So cheap and so
plentiful IN supply, they want to see
it restored to circulation in the share
of United States coin. Mr.. Crawford
says the Mint will this month turn out
100000 in subsidiary coinage, which
will be the largest amount ever eXecU-
ted in any one month in the branch
over which he presides. This amount
il to be all halves, quarters and dimes.
The gold coinage this month At the
Mint will be about $500
The States woodpile stretches its dun
length along the Southern and Eastern
lines of Capitol Square fence. and grows
longer day by day. 1t is excellent wood,
We should say, from not close inspec-
ton of it; but is pity it could not be
more safely stored than in tho basement
of the Capitol, where We suppose it is
going to be put after it has been sawed
and split. Perhaps it cannot all be piled
there at once; but half of it or one
fourth the amount is too much of such
a combustible material to be kept under
meath all those precious records and ar
chives, that valuable library and that
costly building. The State ought to
rent or buy a piece of ground hard by
the State House and erect thereon a
and storehouss How much
power the present Board of Capitol Com
missioners have in the premises we do
not know; but that the cellar of the Cap
ital is not the proper place for the stor-
age of great quantity of dry, finder like
fuel is very evident. We Carsonites
can't afford to have the Capitol burned
up. They migbtn't build another one.
