 Fl Paso Tribune. The Juarez authorities last week succeeded iu unearthiug a dangerous gang of coun- terfeiters and the delinquents. are now lying in the Juarez jail. For some time past American and Mexican counterfeit dollars have been lu cir culation in both Juarea and El Pas0, and the officers have been suspicion ing two Mexicans named Luna and Lomas of being couuterfeiters. Last night these parties were detected in the work in a small iacal in the north ern part of Juarez and they were ar rested and the outfit, consisting of dies and molds, was captured along with good deal of counterfeit Mex ican and American dollars. The money was well made and the milling on the American dollar was especial ly good. The money was not made of silver, but it was an amalgam and the dollars are all light in weight.
 This gang has been under suspicion for some time and both have stood trial on this side of the river for sell ing an amalgam bull for pure silver and in this way they secured good deal of money from several prominent people, one of whom was banker, but the latter always refused to ac- knowledge he had been duped and in this way the counterfeiters always succeeded in escaping punishment. 0The gang and their outfit are now in the hands of the Mexican authorities
