Excerpt from Annual Report of the Director of the Mint, for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1915: And Also Report on the Production of the Precious Metals in the Calendar Year 1914 In many ways the fiscal year 1915 was the most eventful in the history of the mmt service; certainly it was as regards the New York assay office and the San Francisco Mint. The movement of gold from the United States in the first three months and the movement of this metal to our shores in the last three months were on such a tremendous scale that the patience, skill, and capacity of the officials and employees at these institutions were sorely taxed. Since July 1, 1915, the volume of business has increased so steadily and so rapidly that the records show the total value of the deposits at the New York assay office for the first four months of the fiscal ear 1916 to be or nearly that of the deposits for the w ole of 1908 92 227 - which has heretofore been this office's banner fiscal year. The mint at San Francisco received between April 1 and November 1, 1915, more than in foreign gold coin and bullion from Australia, Japan, and China, as compared with during the entire calendar year 1914.
