"Every mint in the United States with the exception of a portion of tha Philadelphia mint, it coining silver half dollars, quarters and dimes at present and this will continue for at least three months more," said George E. Roberts, director of United States mints, in an interview here. "There is an unpi ecedeiited demand for silver nicney of these denominations through .nit the country at present that the government cannot begin to cope with. "Silver is high and is going to go higher," declared Mr. Roberts. "It will roach 80 before it stops and I believe that within two years it will go to 76. It Is 71 and a little more at present. A part of Hie mint at Philadelphia Is working with coppeT and nickel at present, but outside this every mint in the country is working night and day on silver half dollars, quarter and dimes. No gold is being coined at present and none will be for three months. The total coinage for the year will run very high, possibly over 1200,000,000." Asked why paper money of $1 and $2 bill denominations are not more generally circulated in the west, Mr. Roberts said: "The principal reason Is that west ern bankers and others sending eas for money, if they ask for paper money, must pay the express charges on It. If they order silver the government pays the charges. This is the secret of the immense circulation of silver in your own state and other western states."
