SPURIOUS BILLS IN
 CIRCULATION, ALASKA
COUNTERFEIT S2O FEDERAL RE- SERVE NOTES MADE FROM
 GENUINE S1 BILLS

Advices have been received from the marshal's office to the effect that the City of Spokane has been recent ly flooded with fake S2O federal re- serve notes bearing the stamp of the San Francisco mint and the picture of Grover Cleveland.
 The fake bills were printed on gen. uine s1 bills, to provide the silk threads in the paper and thus throw off detection.
 The s1 bills were first treated with a bleaching chemical which made them perfectly white. An engraving of a $2O federal reserve note from the San Francisco mint was then made from the photograph, and the bleached out S1 bills were reprinted from the engraving.
 The ink is little lighter in shade than that used by the mint, giving the bill the impression of age.
 The serial numbers are not clear cut as on a genuine S20 bill. It is re- ported a number of these bills have been passed in southeastern Alaska.
