it is not II Goldfeld affair, hut Il state

is the largest and richest association of
similar body of men in the United

Warned To Look Out For Fax. Money

Warnings have been sent out to bank
ing institutions by the government
officials calling attention t. the fact
TINT the counterfeit artist is ut work
in the northwest and that bogus cur
rency of the apparent face value of
81, 200, 600 or so, has been scattered
broadcast. Strenuous efforts are being
made to run down leaders of the biggest
swindle Of it's kind ever launched
against the government. Reports
from the northwest cities are to the
effect that already the fake currency
has turned up and there is every pos.
sibility that it will I've passed in Elko
upon the unsuspecting.
The information with reference to
the counterfeit bills rs received by the
authorities is to the effect that Chief
Flynn, head of the secret service New
York. is responsible for the discovery
of the gigantic plot. His attention was
called to it two months ago by reports
from his agents that 81 bills of n shady
character were being placed in circula.
ton. The bills failed to appear in
higher denominations and it then be.
came the theory of the police that for
eigners were back of the deal and used
the smaller denominations in order to
circulate the counterfeit money among
the poorer classes. A force of detect
ives was detailed to watch the foreign
settlements and 40 arrests were made
but the head of the department wished
to locate the plant used to manufacture
the currency.
\ dragnet was set for all the well
known counterfeitersi in this country and
the canvass proved that the plot was
not in the United States, but that the
bad money vas shipped to this country
from abroad in wholesale lots. The
operators sold the fake bill to their
agents ut the rate of % cents on the
dollar and as it was easy to float
currency i'll the small denominations,
their profits were very large. Since
hat time the bills have circulated west
and are expected to show up in this part
of Nevada ut any time.
The bad money is said t o bc very
difficult to detect except by experienced
handlers or by employees in banking
houses who are familiar with the gen,
uinc currency and Fan easily pick ont
the bogus paper.

tide the county over until the June
taxes were paid and last Monday they
borrowed SEQ, 900 more at ! per cent
annual interest. The first loan is still
unpaid, but draws no interest. Unless
there should be Il surplus in the general
fund EcSt year, the last loan cannot he
paid until January 1. 1911.
The cause of the Indebtedness is due
to the large criminal expenses of the
county during the last two years and
the AMOUNT paid for repairing the roads
and bridges. 1t is in no sense due to
the extravaganza of the last or present
board of county commissioners. The
building of the Western Pacific brought
u criminal element to the county that
has cost the taxpayers n great deal of
money. To that and the development
of the county is due to the large increase
in the cost of running the county gov
ernment.
The INDEPENDENT does not believe
there has been any waste of the cOutnty's
funds. The conditions have arisen
through no action of the commissioners
and they had to he met. The tax rate
this year is much higher and the county
will be on velvet next year. unless
something unforeseen arises to cause n
heavy drain OF the treasury.
