FRISCO mint
LOSES MONEY

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 2S.-The
counting of the silver stored in the
vaults OF the United States mint
here is progressing rapidly and
has succeeded in showing but a small
deficienc. 1t is probable that the
amount of silver missing will be
found to be small, the shortage so
far being only 81, as it is thought
that the thieves bent all their
efforts in purl9ining the more valu-
able coins.
The count of the gold which has
been completed shows that at least
$4,000 is missing. The money has
been stored and not counted for
years, and it is believed that the
thefts were committed some time
ago.
