United States Mint at Carson City. Governor to transmit copy to Senators and Repre sentatives. No. XXIX.-Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 32. [Passed March 5, 1879.] WHEREAS, it appearing from an order received by the Superintendent of the Mint, at Carson City, from Hon. John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury, that the purchase and coinage of silver bullion is to be discontinued at the Carson Mint, the inevitable result of which would be a hardship to bullion producers of this State; and whereas, it is claimed by the Hon. Secretary of the Treasury, in support of his order, that silver bullion cannot be purchased as cheap at, and coins resulting from the same be transported from the Carson Mint, at the same rates at which bullion can be purchased and coins shipped from the San Francisco Mint; therefore, be it Resolved, by the Senate, the Assembly concurring, that our Senators be instructed and our representatives in Congress be requested to lay before Congress the fact that silver bullion has been and can be purchased and delivered at the Mint in Carson City at a rate not in excess of that paid at the San Francisco Mint. Resolved, That should it appear,' upon an investigation, that the express charges from the Carson Mint are in excess of the rates charged from San Francisco, it being a lesser distance from Carson to points where coins are usually shipped to, and in the event that satisfactory arrangements cannot be made with express companies, that such laws be enacted whereby silver coin may be transported through the mail service. Resolved, That the Governor is hereby requested to transmit a copy of the foregoing Preamble and Resolutions to our Senators and Representative in Congress.
