ENORMOUS INFLUX OF FOREIGN GOLD Imperts of Bullion Greatly Exceed Exports This Year. SUBSIDIARY COINS ARE ALSO NEEDED Growing Demand for Small Demoni- red Aca Money Req ll celerated ( Teade Forees nages WASHINGTON, Dec. 8-—The report ot George E. Roberts, director of the mint, upon the operations of the mint service during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1901, has been completed. The colnage of the mints during the fiscal year amounted to 176,900,132 pleces, of the value of $136,340,- 781, Of this 8§ 1 in gold, $24, 208,850 was in silver dollars, $10,960 648 was in fractional silver and $2,000568 was | minor colns. There also coined at the Philadelphia mint 225,000 gold pleces, of the value of $349,014 for the government of Costa Rien. The coinage of silver dollars during the yenr was from the stock of bullion accumulated under the act of July 14, 1890. The amount of this bullion hand at the beginning of the fiscal year was £3,288,054 standard ounces | and at the end of the year 52 stand- | ard oun The colnage of this bulllon has | been accellerated to enable the treasury to rotire the treasury notes iseued in its pur- chase and at the same time supply the pressing demand which has existed throughout the year for the small denom- inations of money required in retail trade. Colnage operations were conducted during the year in the mints at Philadelphia, San Francisco and New Orleans. ¥ n Mint New Quarters. was were on The Philadeiphia mint is now in quarte and th old site, including the structu will be offered for sale to the highest bidder on December 19. An upset price of $2,000000° has been placed on it The original cost of the ground to the gov- ernment was $36,840. The cost of the new site and structure has been $2,000,000 and the appropriation for equipment $140,000, but a considerable portion of the latter is yet unexpend No palns have been spared to provide this mint with the best machinery o be had and it is beligved that in method and equipment it will be, when completed, a model institution of its kind The new mint under construction at Den- ver bus made ulow progress during the year and the supervising architect finds an ad- ditional appropriation necessary before the final contracts can be let. The appropria- tion for site and buflding was $500,000 and for equipment $150,000. The new mints at Philadelphia and Denver, together with the old ones at San Francisco and New Or- leans, will afford ample facilities for this sountry for muny years to come t of Gold at Min The original deposits of gold at the mints and agsay offices amounted to $153,101,580, an Increase of $19,181,561 over the preceding year. Of this $27,006,480 was in foreign coin, $17,600,463 from Great Brithin, nearly all being from Australia, and $5,425,500 trom Japan The estimated production of gold in the United States during the calendar year 1900 was of the value of $79.17 and not- withstanding the fact that country led the world in productions imports coeded fts exports by $12,866,010. The production of North America, practically all of which comes to the United States, was $118,051,600 The world's coinage of gold In the calen- dar year 1900 was $354,936,497 and of silver $177,011,902. The industrial consumption of gold in the United States during the year | 900 15 estimated at $167,667,000 and of the | world approximately §75,000,000 its new Amo this i Growing Demand for Subsidiary Coln, The stock of subsidiary coin in the coun- try is limited by law to $100,000,000 and on November 1, 1901, the existing stock wus $00,618,512. The report says it is not im- probable that before another congress shall have opportunity to act the growing needs of the country will have absorbed the en- tire amount authoriz By the act of March 14, 1900, authority was given to use silver bullion purchased under the act of July 14, 1890, for this coinage, but it is necossary that the limit set upon the stock in the country be removed or raised. On November 1, 1901, the stock of bullion ac- quired under the act of July 14, 1800, was ©1,763,642 standurd ounces. If enough of this were colned into dollar pleces to take up the treasury notes issued for its cost there would remain 15,689,802 standard | ounces, which converted Into subsidiary coin would give $19,321,113. It is suggested | that the limit of the country's stock of! subsidiary coin be raised to at least $120,- | 000,000. No good reason is apparent, says the report, why the coinage of dollar pieces should not be allowed to cease and all of the silver on hand be used in subsidiary | colnage.

It was during the time when Nevada was knocking at the doors of congress to be admitted as a state. “In order to pass the thirteenth amend- | ment,” he said, “It became necessary to | admit Nevada Into the union of the states. | | But how to get the proposed constitution of the new state to Washington before the a journment of congress was a serious ques- tion.
