The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-12-27

ton to a representative of THE CALL, but
the greater part OF the day was spent in
answering all sorts of questions touching
the subject, that seems at present to be
greatly discussed among mining men and
stock spectators.
at is gratifying to see that our letter to
Secretary of the Treasury Window, in
which we warned him to make an investl-
CATION of the mint, contained something
other than idle words, continued Mr.. Fox.
1.-The Government received timely advice
of what was going on, but 1t did not see Mt
at that time to go into it as it should have
done. but to-day the peculiar methods OF
doing business in the Carson mint are be-
Ginning to arouse something more SUBJ
stantiai than whitewashing ceremonies,
and before Mr.. Mason gets through with
his searching, and when we have added
the evidence now in our possession to that
being collected by him, the people who are
nor in the combine will throw their hands
~, in amazement. | will read you the
letter seat Window"
Mr.. Fox produced the letter and allowed
. ,oonv of il to be made. A portion Of 1t
sets forth the fact that the Mining Stock
4 ssociation was anxious to have the in
vestiGation made as complete as possible,
-so that all the subject-matter could be got
.,to,efber in good form from the begin
ming to the end. Other matters are
touched on that only concern the business
of arranging for the research. Inc letter
then proceeds;

The United States mint at Carson, we are
orediblv Informed, is the storehouse ior Dul-
ZION. taken from the mines by the MIL von-
nenies. This is a matter which the Dulilon
records will show TO be either 1aise Oh eiue,
and vital matter it is to great many ~ !oua
feIlow-citizens. We hold that the Mills s aIs
tel king away many thousands OF ounces % F ~
and silver monthly which belong W 'n

Carson is a snare interposed between So 49,"
holders and the bullion while 1t Is oeIns
