MONEY WAKING.

The report submitted by the director
of the mint covering the operations of
that department of the government for
the last fiscal year presents some in
teresting if not surprising figures.
1t shows among other things that
with all the hue and cry made against
silver and in spite of the oft repeated
assertion that it viii not circulate and
is inferior money, the government has
coined in silver dollars alone in the u
months under consideration a sum ag-
gregating S21, 2O3. 7O1, or almost as much
as was usually coined in a year under
the operation of the Bland law. In ad
ditiOn to this there was coined of the
subsidiary denominations $3,124.076.
When it is remembered that the
treasury officials have but recently re-
fused to exchange silver dollars for gold
owing to the fact, as alleged. that the
surplus of these coins, over and above
outstanding certificates is so small it
will be seen that the assertion so often
made that silver will not circulate is
somewhat mythical.
Nor was the fiscal year recently clos
ed an exceptional one in this regard.
Since the Sherman law went into eff
feet August 10, 1890, there have been
coined under its provisions All
silver dollars, costing the government
$51, 532, 154, leaving a profit in the way OF
BeigniOrage amounting to s17,216,3 1922.
This is a very snug sum, which ac-
cOrding to some theorists the govern
ment has taken from the pockets of the
people. The amount of seigniorage ac-
cruing to the government from the
coinage of silver dollars, from the pass
age of the Bland law in 1873 TO June 80,
1897, according to this report, is $84,-
822. S21.
With a steady demand for this form
of currency, a demand which seems al
ways beyond the supply and in consid-
GRAFTON of the handsome profit to be
derived from converting the govern
ment's stock of bullion into coin it does
look like u mistaken business policy not
to work the minis a little harder. The
indications so far have been rather the
reverse of OVERRIDING it.
The report shows an encouraging
feature of the gold movements in the
fact that for the fiscal year under con-
sideratiOn, the net gold imports have
been "A millions as against net exports
of IS millions in the previous year.
Notwithstanding the constant decline
in the market value of silver bullion
the exports for the last fiscal year stand
at almost the same figure as those of
the previous year, being 80 millions for
1897 and SO millions for 1896.

willing to dispose of this property at the
price it brought. Mr.. Taylor purchased
it for an investment.
The National was started on February
II of last year at the time Cripple Creek
was enjoying it's biggest boom and when
every hotel and lodging house in the city
