IN GOLD
STORED BY UNCLE SAM IN DEN.
YER TREASURE HOUSE.
Largest Amount on Deposit In Any
Mint or Subtreasury, but Not
Greatest Ever Stored In
Denver.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-The stock of gold now
stored in the Denver mint by the
United States government is the larg.
est on deposit in any government
mint or subtreasury in the country.
This condition has been brought
about by the European war. Until re.
Gently the subtreasury in New York
and the mint in San Francisco had
the largest amount of gold. This was
due to foreign exchange and the re-
ceipt of gold from Europe and Asia
at these ports.
Little gold has come from foreign
countries since the war began and as
result the stock in the Denver mint
now is larger than in either the New
York subtreasury or the San Fran
cisco mint.
The gold on hand at the Denver
mint is $465,0OO.OOO. 1t comprises
about one-third of the governments
entire gold reserve. Deposits of bull
lion at the local mint have been in
creasing lately
The gold now stored in the Denver
mint is not, however, the largest
amount ever held there at one time.
Several years ago it reached $28,000.-
900, the largest amount stored under
any one roof in the world. The gov
ernment removed large stocks of gold
to Denver from San Francisco at
that time on account OF danger of
trouble between this country and
Japan.

Washington. May 10.-With 5000
additional troops under orders for the
Mexican border, including 1000 ma
tional guardsmen from Arizona, New
Mexico and Texas, administration Of
ficials felt that necessary steps had
been taken to prevent further raiding
of American border towns by BAN
dts. President Wilson and his cab
met discussed the Mexican situation
Tuesday, but the President had autho-
rized the new troops orders before his
advisers got there.
Gen. Scott and Gen. Funston recon-
mended that additional forces be sent
to the border. After an exchange of
kilograms, Gen. Funston suggested
that the national guard from the three
states be called out, in addition to the
sending of all the remaining regular
suggestion was promptly approved and
orders dispatched
Some members of the cabinet were
frankly pessimistic, after the meeting,
over the delay of Gen. Obregon in rat
flying the agreement he negotiated
with Gen. Scott covering cooperative
border operations, including those of
Gen. Pershing's expedition. Reports
from Mexico City indicated that the
agreement had been approved by Gen.
Carranza, and officials were at loss
to understand Obregon's action.
The majority of the Presidents ad-
visers believed the agreement finally
would be ratified, and that the border
situation would clear itself quickly
thereafter.
1t was clearly intimated in all quar-
ters. however. that there would be no
change in the policy of the Washing
ton government; that the troops would
stay in Mexico until the border was
safe from incursions; that raiders
would be pursued across the line
every time they became active, and
that the whole strength of the national
guard would be used If necessary.
