Find ten factual mistakes and correct them:
Bill Merwin threw down his whip and went to one of the many banks in town, a private one, run by Cooper & Craig.
"Cooper," he said, to the partner by that name, "I've got to have $25,000 to-day or to-morrow. I've got a house, a market and lot there that's worth about $60,000 and that's all the actual collateral. But I've got a gold deal on that's sure to bring me in more than that much profit within a few days."

Sorry we can't arrange it for you."
