A YEARS COINAGE.
Interesting Facts in the Report of
Director Of the Mint.


Edward O. Leech, the Director of the
Mint, in his annual report for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1889, reports the coinage at
the minis during the year as follows:
Gold coins Tin value), $25, 543 go: silver
dollars, S33, 1913 $50: subsidiary silver, S721.-
6S6 minor coins, 1905 472; total. $50, 965, 929.
In addition to this gold bars, valued at ST.
241, 121 and silver bars, valued at 50, 709, 246.
were manufactured at the minis Gold bars
were exchanged for gold coin, principally at
the assay office at New York, during the year,
mainly for export, of the value of $57, 5O7,-

The profit on the coinage of silver dollars
and subsidiary coin during the year was
go 403, 049. The total coinage of silver dollars
under the Bland act up to the first of NOveIn-
Der $t}43, tS3S, DOL Gold imports during
the year amounted to $40, 372, 145, and exports
to $50. 033, 246 Silver imports amounted TO
$24, $50, $50, and exports 1856, 716, 1913. These
figures show a loss to the United States by
excess of exports over imports of gold, $40,
661, 101; silver. S12, 034, 403.
The Director estimates the consumption of
gold and silver in the United States in the
industrial arts for the fiscal year to have
been: Gold, $4,000 OO; silver IS, OOO 900.
The product of gold and silver in the United
States for the calendar year 1888 he reports
as follows: Gold, $33 rs, 600; silver COM
mercial value, S43 600. 600: coming value,
$50 1875 900. The product of the world for
that year was: Gold SlO5, 994, $50; silver,
commercial value SlO3, 556, 900; coming value,
$142, 439, $50.
The coinage of the world for the year 1888
was: Gold $134, 720 639; silver. S149, 49,, 442.

eighty per cert. was full legal tender coins
executed by the minis of the United States,

Director Leech recommends legislation
looking toward the discontinuance of the
coinage of the three-dOllar and one-dollar
gold pieces and the three-cent nickel piece
and withdrawal from circulation of pieces of
those denominations now outstanding.

The Wyoming, Salt Lake & California
railway is a new road which is being built
from Evanston. Wyo.. and Deep Creek.
Utah. The line will connect with the
Union Pacific at Evanston and will
pass through Salt Lake City. The rev.
enues Of the road will consist chiefly of
transportation of coal, while a large
revenue will be derived from the trans
portation OF wood, lumber. mining, tim
bers, asphaltum, clay and brick, building
stone and tagging, ice, farm products,
live stock, ores and passenger traffic.
The projectors of the road own and
control 5000 acres of coal land adjacent
to the line of road. The coal is of very
superior quality, and the measures are
from seven to fourteen feet in thickness,
and the position of the mines to the
road is such that the coal can be mined
and put on cars for 81 per ton.
This is distinctively a Wyoming enter
prise, the company organizers being

CHEYENNE, Aug. 2S.-I wish to make
a slight correction in your account Of the
transfer of the Michigan mine. Five
sixths of the mine was bought and the
amount paid was $25,O 900 cash. The only
reason the full amount of $50, 900 was not
paid at this time was because the interest
controlled by Mr.. j. X. Jeffrey is in the
hands OF the court and no deed can
pass until a later date. In this connection

Manufacturing company is no half cash"

A note received from the former owners
OF the Michigan contains the statement
that the entire $25, 900 was paid in cash
at the First National bank here Tuesday.
The mistake was caused by the miscOn-
