COUNTERFEITING TRICK

One of the newest tricks in coun-
terfeiting has been brought to the
attention of the local United States
authorities. 1t is a s5 piece plated
with tinsel, which soon wears off.
The authorities are of the opinion
that the coin, which in size, milling
and shape is a perfect imitation, is
made from tin and some metal which
gives it a ring similar to that produced
by gold.
The coin was passed upon Guy M.
Salisbury of the United States land
office. Mr.. Salisbury put the coin
away for several days and when he
took it from it's keeping place found
that the gold had worn partly away
and with his fingers it was an easy
matter to rub away the remainder OF
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
