FROM TUESDAYS DAILY.
AN ASSAY OFFICE.
The Fatef the Carson Mint.

The fact has come to light that the Car
son mint is to be turned into an assay
office and nothing more
1t seems that in an endeayer to benefit
the mint Mr.. Newlands attached a rider
to the appropriation bill, leaving it to the
discretion of the Secretary of the Treas
ury whether or not the Carson mint
should coin or be relegated to a mere
assay office. The rider was not agreed in
at the Conference Committee but it WAS
allowed to remain, inasmuch that it cut
the appropriation for the mint to $4,000
and still left the Secretary of the Treas
ury to decide on the matter of coinage or
an assay office.
Word has been received from Wash
ington to the effect that after the LIST of
July the mint will be only conducted on
the basis of an assay shop, with an
assayer. one assistant assayer ard a clerk.
This may include a Waterman or two but
thai will compose the working force Of
the min
Parties who know a thing or two about
mint affairs say that had Mr.. Newlands
kept his hands Oft the affair it would
still hold the position Of a mint.
1t is to be hoped that the representa-
tives Of Nevada can prevail on the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to continue the
institution as a mint.

ing has been bestowed and the young
folks are happy. They are residing al
