Pasadena Agency,
ia East Colorado Street,


PASADENA, June 3o.--Buslness men
are OF the opinion that bogus mint is
being operated in this vicinity, as
numerous spurious quarters are in cir
culation, and they can be told only by
the ring unless bank expert first
passes Judgment on them. The coins
50 far detected are of new coinage with
excellent milled edges, and all bear the
date Of 1908. A cigar dealer handled a
half dozen or more over his counter in
one day and when he accidentally allow
ed one to fall the ring sounded queer to
him, 30 he took the quarter to an ex-
pert, who pronounced 1t q counterfeit.
