REPLACING DEPLETED STOCK; Act of Congress Requiring Payment j of One Dollar Per Ounce for All ' Bullion Offered to Treasury. / / Washington.—Coinage of silver dol-j lars has been resumed by the mint | after a lapse o fseven years and the' work of replacing the two hundred and seventy-nine million standard sil ver dollars taken from the treasury | during the war to sell to Gfeat Britain! has begun.
