The most dangerous counterfeit silver dollar ever uncovered by the secret service men of the govern ment is being circulated in the Southwest. So far as is known none of the dollars have reached Memphis, but they are said to be plentiful i'll Western Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana, says the Memphis Commercial Appeal. The dollar is so nearly perfect that only the eye of an expert can de- tect it. It is full weight, has the true ring and contains as much pure silver as the geniune dollar
 These dollars, 1t is said, are made from Mexican silver dollars. The counterfeiters buy the Mexican dollars for AZ cents ill gold, and coming the silver of the same into all American dollar, make a profit of B cents. The government agents are working hard to stop the output of these spurious coins and detect the persons putting them i'll circulation.
