STORED ~ 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 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 100000. 1t comprises
about one-third of the government $
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 $2S,000,-
900, the largest amount stored under
any one roof in the world. The gov
eminent removed large stocks of gold
to Denver from San Francisco at
that time on account Of danger of
trouble between this country and

Washington, May 11.-Germany, in

clares readiness to pay an adequate
indemnity to Americans injured on

partment that the German statement
that the offending commander had
been punished would be accepted and
the Sussex case considered closed, ex
cept for arranging for the payment OF
indemnity of the several citizens oil

There probably will be no attempt
