Special to the CITIZEN:
NoGALEs, A. L. July 10.
The most valuable seizure ever made
by the custom service here was q haul
made today by the force on the Mexican
side. A Mexican from Hermosilio
named Noriega is now minus Sl2, 600 in
gold dust from the Altar digglngs OF
Sonora. He had the gold in his satchel,
623 ounces and alighted from the hack
end of the train and attempted to dodge
off make away with it to the American
side. A gendarme espied him, in fact
had been warned, and was on the look
out for him, also suspecting him from
the weight of his satchel and demanded
examination of it. The Mexican said
it was all right, but that availed moth
ing. 1t was taken from boy carrying
it, opened and 10! there was forty pounds
of gold. Noriega was seized and is now
n Jail and liable to five years IN Mexl-
can prison. His change to escape lmpris-
onment is to "renounce" the gold
declaring 1t was the property OF another
which he will probably do. 1t is sus-
pected he did not own the gold but was
actually conveying it for others and
that be will come in for share OF the
seizure. The gendarme who made the
arrest will get half of the seizure. In
Mexico the export duty is 10 per cent
"mintage" on uncoined gold taken from
the country.
