Washington, Nov. 27.-An investi-
CATION of the Seattle assay office from
top to bottom has been ordered by Di-
rector Roberts, of the United States
mint Superintendent Leach, of the
San Francisco mint, reached Seattle
yesterday morning for the purpose of
continuing the investigation which led
to the arrest Of Cashier George Adams,
and Director Roberts himself will start
for Seattle to assist in the inquiry as
soon rs public business here will per-
nit. De has some important work in
hand here. and it is possible he may
not be able to leave for week. Mr..
Roberts said yesterday:
THE investigation will be as thor
ough AS we can make it. The object
is not only to learn the extent of Ad
ans embezZlement and to learn if any
other person is involved, but to reform
the methods Of administration, if it
proves that they need reforming, so
that the confidence Of the miners and
other depositors in the office may be
restored. The one great difficulty in
a government assay Office is that there
is no way in the world Of telling how
much q mans gold dust is worth " hen
it is deposited in the office. 1t must
first be melted and assayed and the de-
positor must trust to the integrity Of
the establishment to give him a just
return for his deposit. Gold dust var
les in fineness and quality and in free
dom from impurities, and that is the
root Of the whole trouble.
Will Make Stealing impo SSibie.
1T remains for us to make the sys.
tenn such that dishonest practices. even
under this adverse condition. will be
impossible in An assay office. OF course
remarks will always be heard that this
and that mans gold did not come up
to his expectations. In this case there
was ground for it, but in the great
majority Of cases it will be found that
there WAS no ground for criticism.
What We wish to do is to make it i'm
possible for a man to steal in the Seat
tie assay office, and we are going to
work on that basis"
1t is admitted that there may be a
possibility of placing greater safe
guards around the vault. For exam.
pie, it is admitted that no official Of
An assay office should be enabled to en-.
ter the vault except in business hours,
and that only limited access should be
allowed at any time unless under sur.
veillsnce.
No information has been received
here indicating that the loss through
Adams dishonesty was more than
SIS, 900. but it is not dou bted that the
populations have been going on for a
long time, and that the total loss is a
good deal more than was supposed at
first.
