Silver State in Winnemucca, Nevada

Mint figures on gold and silver values in bulk

Professor F L Schirmer of the Denver Branch Mint provides precise data on the fineness and weight of Colorado gold and silver. He gives ton as 2000 pounds, ounces per ton, and the per coin values, plus ore content effects, with notes on standard fineness and alloy makeup. A separate grief story follows about a man losing his wife and a brittle anecdote of a Springfield girl lured by a barbarian nobleman to New York.
