Travis, the writer has taken the lfberty
of placing them in the order given.

Carson MAY Lose Her Mint

Word has been received in Carson
from Washing ton, d. O., that the Gov
eminent has decided on January l TO
double charges for assaying at the
Carson mint, which has for years been
maintained only as an assaying office.
Other assayiug offices conducted by the
Government are to make a similar
raise. 1t is expected that this action
will result in the Carson office being
quickly abandoned, as mining men will
prefer to send their samples to the
mints. The Carson office is said to
have been a losing proposition for years.
1t was established in early days as a
protection for the miners against the
numerous frauds that engaged in assay.
ing. Congressman Roberts may be able
to prevent the raise in rates.

GENERAL FUND is EXHAUSTED
State Officers and Employees May Be
Forced to Wait For Their Pay

The general fund of the State Treas
ury is exhausted. according to reports
received from Carson. aud it is probable
that State officers aud employees will
be forced to wait several months before
they can cash their warrants unless
they can be hypothecated to banks or
individuals in the meantime.
There was some talk of an extra SEES
sion Of the Legislature being called in
order to adjust the matter whereby a
transfer could be made to the general
fund from other funds. but when the
State officials started figuring mp the
cost, the idea was abandoned.
There is plenty Of money in the vari'
Gus funds, and over a half million in
cash in the T~reasurer's office, but not q
cent can be touched according to the
