WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Secretary OF
tbs Treasury has directed a communication
to the Speaker of the House enclosing a
report from the Director OF the Mint, at
Carson, Nevada The Mint Director calls
attention to the fact rnar the Legislative
Appropriation bill contains no provision
for the care and custody OF the Mint at
that place while it is closed. He also sug-
gssts the propriety OF fappropriatinga sum
equivalen to last years appropriation SO
that operations may be resumed, espec-
ially in view Of the fact that representa-
tion had been made to the Mint Bureau
Of the readiness on the part of
the producers of bullion to de-
post the same at the Mint at Carson
instead Of sending it to private refners on
condition that certain benefits, which it is
claimed are conferred by law, and which
dunng the present year had been withheld,
thiB institution, in common with some
Others by the action OF the Department,
waS restored. The Director adds that it is
doubtless true that cessation OF deposits
at the Carson mint was largely due to the
payment OF the deposit ,rs by drafts in
stead OF cash and an imposition of trans
cess OF the rate paid by private shippers.
