The . Denver News publishes the
results of a government assay at
Philadelphia of a 20 gold piece
coined at the Denver mint, which
showed a shortage of five cents, not
in weight, but In the fineness or
purity of the gold. The government
Inspectors now working on the case
are endeavoring to place the respon
sibility, as required by law. They
are to report to the president who
is instructed by law, upon placing the
guilt, to remove the responsible per
son or persons from office.
A shortage of five cents on each
$20 gold' piece, chould the Impurity
of the gold he found to be rxtenMve,
amounts to J2.100 on each Jl. 000,000.
At this moment there the vault
of the Denver mini, in addition to
vast sums sent away, $56,000,000 in
coin and bullion, of which 134,000,.
000 Is in coin. Those In a position
to trnow say that very little of jhls
money, or of the money sent out from
the mint, Is underflne. They figure
conservatively that only, a shipment
of $200,000 Is affected, but Investi
gation may prove this estimate too
low. Many of the assays of the gov
ernment have proved up to standard.
Fraud Not Suspected.
At this time the Inspectors do not
seem to think there is a possibility
of fraud. They consider the trouble
due merely to neglect or inefficiency.
Whatever the finding Is, it will be
sent In secret to the president.
At present the men who seem most
likely to be charged Hith neglect or
inefficiency are;
Joslah M. Helrlck, now assistant to
the meltor and refiner, but nt the
time of tne trouble f'jjeman ot the
makeup room, and one of the oldest
mint enployes in the business.
Arthur P. Hodgson, assayer of the
mint, an appointee of the president,
hnldlnR a prominent position and not
appointed by either the superintend
ent or any other mint official.
' Carson City Precedent.
Tnere was over a score of years
ago a mint In Carson City under the
management of the United States.
This Institution had trouble. The
coin turned out were Irregular, and
manv were under value. So a gov
ernment Investigation started. The
mint, for this and other reasons, was
finally closed. No one was removed
as a result of the Investigation be
cause, whllo It was In progress, the
man supposedly careless or Incompe
tent died.

Agent Jay Lynch, of the Yakima
reservation, received word here last
Ight that Charles Barnaby, the gov
ernment teamster at Fort Slmcoe, had
died suddenly Tuesday morning, says
the Yakima Republic. Major Lynch
was very much surprised to hear of
Barnnby's death and he stated that
the old man must have expired sud
denly from an attack of heart disease.
Barnaby was one of the most unique
characters on the reservation. In fact,
he bore the distinction of being one
of the men who assisted the Hudson
Bay people when they operated In this
country.
Barnaby was more white than he
was Indian. He has been engaged by
Agent Lynch as teamster at the fort
for several years, and In harvesting
time served as engineer for the thresh
ing machine.
It la said of htm that he was the
first man to run a steamboat on the
waters of Puget sound. It was dur
ing his connection with the Hudson
Bay company that he ran a little tug
boat on the sound.
The deceased was quite popular
with the Indians on the reservation.
He had no Yakima Indian blood In
his veins and waa part French.
The Catholic priest left here this
morning to .hold service over the re
mains of Barnaby, and his body will
be laid to rest In the Catholic ceme
tery today.
