DENVER COINAGE MINT.
Director Preston is Working Earnesti!
for It.

Director Preston Is working Earnestly
Washington, Dec. 2S.-The Colorado
congressional delegation will have the
vigorous support of Director Of the Mint
Preston in any attempt which they
make to secure an appropriation for the
establishment Of a mint for coinage at
Denver. The report Of Secretary Car
Isle on this matter to the senate finance
committee was prepared by Preston,
and while no direct recommendation Is
made for the establishment of a mint
at Denver, figures are given to show the
advantages that would accrue to the
government by having such a min.
Preston said to the Times correspondent
today that If there was mint at Den
yer a great deal of gold would go there
which is diverted in other channels at
present and this gold would also save
the government thousands Of dollars in
freight on gold brought East to be
coined.
Preston will urge upon congress the
absolute need of such mint should it
be determined to coin silver in any lars:
amounts. Representative Bell says ha
intends to make the most he can out of
Mr.. Preston's recommendations in the
house. and of course Senator Teller will
see that the matter Is well taken care Of
in the senate.
