A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.
A Spurious Half Dollar That Con-
tafns More Silver, by Thirteen
Grains, Than the Legal Coin.

ST. Louis, March -Sub-Treasurer
Small has counterfeit half dollar
which is a most clever imitation of I'm
Gle Sans legal money. About ten DAYS
ago coin-counter, in looking over a
consignment from the First national
bank of Omaha, noticed the coin and
sent it to the director of the mint.
The latter returned it, expressing the
opinion that it was spurious, yet ne
was not absolutely certain Close ex-
animation disclosed that it contained
FOG grains of pure silver, while the le-
gal half dollar contains only 1913
grains. The only marks indicating
that ii is spurious are slight deviations
in the roll of the hair of the Goddess OF
Liberty. The feathers on the eagle $
tail are not quite as well marked as
in legal money.

Washington, March 16.-United
States Consul McCook writes from
Dawson City: Investors should be
careful of mining properties offered
Tor sale, particularly in some sections
OF Alaska. OF the many who came here
last spring and summer, hundreds
drlfted down the Yukon and located
at Forty Mile, Eagle City and Star
City. | am informed there are many
schemers there who get up miners
meetings, elect their own recorder.
Jump claims already recorded, get
their man to give them receipts as
record papers, and issue prospectuses
OF water rights, all apparently in con-
formity with United States mining
regulations. They have organized
companies, their scheme being to sell
their so-called right to the public. No
one should buy anything until per-
fectly satisfied. There will be any
number of valueless claims offered by
promoters"
