MINT TO FURNISH
MONEY TO BANKS

Placed at the Command Of Large
Financial lnstttu-

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 23.-one
fortunate condition still remains with
San Francisco.
There is an abundance of gold and
silver coin available in the vaults of
the United States branch mint in this
city.
The mint had almost completed its
coinage for the fiscal year when the
earthquake and fire interrupted this
operation.
A visit to the mint disclosed the fact
that the damage done is comparatively
trivial, only one or two rooms in the
building being touched by the flames.
The furnaces and CRATE chimneys
will be ready to start up at an hours
notice if suitable power can be OBJ
tanned, and it is possible that speedy
makeshift for power may soon be ar
ranged if the early future should war
rant such a step. Mr.. Leach, super
intendent of the branch mint, said to-
day:
Mint is Intact
"The mint is intact. No damage has
been done to the inside either by earth
quake or fire. We are ready to resume
business just as soon as the public
wants us TO do so. All OF our HleH
have been at their posts since Wednes-
day ready to meet any demand, but
the outside financial system is not yet
in shape to use money
"The financial interests of the city
must organize first and establish them
selves in temporary quarters before
they will be in a position either to re-
ceive or pay out money.
1--WE have in the vaults of the mint an
than San Francisco needs. Secretary
of the Treasury Shaw is fully alive to
the situation and has instructed me to
turn over money to banking institu-
tions whenever needed"
SUBJ Treasurer Opens Office
Sub-treasurer Jacobs opened his office
In the mint today. Until he can get his
books and papers the mint will make
necessary transfers of money.
"Thus far we have had no demands
for money" continued Superintendent
Leach. 1--WE have had about dozen
transfer orders, but no one has called
for money.
I'VE are almost through with our
coinage operations for the year, and the
only thing now lacking to start up is
the want of power.
1--WE will give up all our spare rooms
for commersial purposes l have con-
ferred with all of the representative
bankers here and in Oakland, and will
continue to keep in touch with their
needs"

CHICAGO DIVlNES
ATTRIBUTE QUAKE
TO NATURAL CAUSE
BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April 23.-The evolution of
the idea of God was manifested strik-
ingly yesterday in the fact that few,
if any of Chicago clergymen ascribed
the San Francisco disaster to an aveng-
ing deity. In almost every instance the
earthquake was attributed to purely
natural causes.

cracked.
Plaster fell in the halls and through

and struggled down the six flights of
stairs. The building was swaying and
about to crash to the ground, while the

of the fallen plaster and timbers. Mrs.

Tommy Burns, champion heavy
weight of the world, and George Blake,
the clever instructor at Van >Doozer' S
school of physical culture, have been
paired for another OF the bouts. The
go should be a scientific exhibition
from the start, as both men are past
masters of the art. While Tommy
outweighs Blake, the difference in
avoirdupos will make no difference
this evening. Burns came up from
Long Beach early yesterday morning,
in order that he would be certain OF

The champion has been dividing his
time between a lucrative little euro

battle with the waves. Sunburned and

The gloves will be of ten-ounce weight,
which will allow The men an oppor-
tunity of going the limit so far as
speed is concerned. Both boys say they
will make things hum during their act,
and the exhibition will be anything but
a slow performance.
Aurelio Herrera and his brother
Mauro will be the center of a go that
should prove a treat from the moment
the fraternal pair climb between the
ropes. Neither has been accused of
backwardness when it came to a mix
up, and despite the fact that the bout
will be conducted along friendly lines,
sufficient excitement will environ the
bout to provide lively entertainment.
A fencing exhibition, with Harry
Maloney, director of the Pasadena ply

fencing instructor of Lewis school, has
also been carded, and the knights OF
the foils are prepared to give clever
demonstration of the sport.
Matt Keefe, the yodler, has volun-

The exhibitions will commence at 3
o'clock. Reserve coupons have been
issued and will be given with the tickets
now on sale. Those who have pur-
chased tickets without the coupons may
secure reservations by presenting the
tickets at the places of sale or ut the
