LOOK FOR THE BOATS
French S1ine Sweepers Are Lost in
Storm on Lakes.

Sault Ste. Marie. Mich. Dec. g.
Search is being made along the shores
of Lake Superior today for survivors
and wreckage of two French mine
sweepers believed lost around Kewee-
nav Point in a storm On the night of
November "a. The missing boats were
the Inkerman and Ceriso1les. each
with a crew of thirty-eight men.
News of the apparent disaster was
brought here by Capt. NJ. Leclerc of
the French navy. who brought in the
Sebastopol, the third of the little fleet,
Thursday. The boate were built at
Fort Williams and were bound for
France, with Captain Leclerc in COM
mand.
furious storm came up on the
night of November "a as the fleet ap-
preached Keweenaw Point in Lake
Superior. The boats ran into the
storm to avoid being swamped. When
the Sebastopol rounded the point her
sister ships were missing. The Sebas-
topofs seams were opened by the ter
rifle battering. She made port with
difficulty. The French government
has been officially notified of the loss.

PLENTY OF MONEY
IA Million Coins Under Dollar
Made During Year.
Coinage of U. IS. Mint Five
Times That of 1915.

Washington. Dec. 6.-All records for
coinage went by the boards during the
year 1918. Ray Baker, director of the
mint, today announced in his annual
report. Coinage of denominations I'M
der 81 for the year totalled 714.000.-
900 pieces. This is nearly double the
coinage of 1917. and approximately
five times the production of the minis
in 1916.
The unprecedented demand for
fractional coins, Baker said. could be
traced directly to war activities. This
is shown in the detailed statement of
coinage. The entire production was
SAB. 596.S95. of which s35.004,450 was
silver half dollars, quarters and dimes;
S4.136.163 was nickels, or S2,723,260
five-cent pieces.
The coinage of pennies reached
s4.456.2S2. No gold was coined dur
ing the fiscal year
Gold production during the calendar
year 1917 totalled $S3.750,000. while
the silver production was 71,740, 362
fine ounces-the largest output of sill
yer in the nations history. The gold
production dropped off slightly.
An unusual feature of the year.
Baker said, was the conversion of
s6s, 100000 of silver into bullion. Most
of this bullion was used to assist for
eign governments who employ silver
as major coinage.
