DENVER ASSAY OFFICE & CLARK, GRUBER & CO.

Regarding last week's question about Herman Silver and his
time as "director of the U.S. Mint in Denver" beginning in 1874,
Tom DeLorey writes: "As the U.S. Assay Office in Denver was
located in the former Clark, Gruber & Co. mint, it is quite
possible that contemporary newspaper accounts referred to it
as the Denver Mint, or the U.S. Mint in Denver."

[I've found no reference to Herman Silver in Mumey's "A
Pioneer Mint in Denver," Kagin's "Private Gold Coins and
Patterns of the United States," or Taxay's "The U.S. Mint and
Coinage." Is anyone else aware of a reference that would
confirm his employment in 1874? -Editor]
