| failed to make a complete declaration
of the contents of her twenty three
, trunks when she arrived from Europe
recently. Collector of the Port Loeb
yesterday declared her baggage forfeit
ed. He added, however, that she could
recover her property by the payment
of $4,000.
Although Mrs. Kingsland is wealthy
and prominent in society in Lenox and
this city. more serious action may fol

of the case had been referred to United

of Jersey City. Mr.. yreeland said over
the telephone that he had not as yet
reached decision as to his course in
the matter.
In discussing Mrs. Kingsland's case,
Collector Loeb said:
Mrs. kingsland's baggage has been
forfeited, but it will be released upon
the payment by her of $1,000. So far
as criminal prosecution of Mrs. Kings
land is concerned. we have not completed
our case as vet. The question as to
whether there was deliberate intention
to defraud the government has not yet
been decided Her lawyers will make a
statement OF the case to me. | have

to District Attorney Vreeland in Jersey

GOLD IN THE LA SAL MOUNTAINS.
Report on Investigations Made by Uni-
ted States Geological Survey.

In June, 1911, reconnaissance OF
the north end OF the northern group OF
the La Sal mountains, Utah, was made
by James NJ Hill, of the United States
geological survey, for the purpose OF
ascertaining the extent and value OF
the ore deposits and the prospects for
future development Of the region. A
report on this work has just been pub
lished by the geological survey as
bulletin 530-M, entitled Notes on the
Northern La Sal Mountains, Grand
County, Utah"
The La Sal mountains are in the
Colorado plateau region. which is
characterized by long mesas cut by
canyons from 1900 to $500 feet deep,
with steep cliffs 500 to 600 feet high.
Above this relatively level plateau, which
has general elevation of 5000 feet,
the northern group of the mountains
rises abruptly at Mount Was to a
height of 1856 feet.
Two classes of mineral deposits are
worked in the vicinity of Basin and
Mesa. In the mountains there are sew
eral quartz mining prospects and at least
one locality where placer gold has been
recovered The quartz mines have made
practically no production, and it is prob
able that $4,000 would cover the entire
output from both quartz and placer min
ing in the region
The quartz prospects IN the northern
La Sal mountains are few in number,
and the value of the ore is low even
at the surface, where many gold bear
ing deposits in other districts are en-
riehed The veins, so far as they could
be seen by Mr.. Hill, are small and con
tain much barren quartz The high
charges for transportation TO the rail-
road at Cisco, ranging from sl2 to SIS
for outbound and S25 ton for inbound
freight. are an additional handicap.
The placers of Wilson Mesa are APP
parently of a small extent. They con-
tain only small quantity Of gravel,
and all the gold in it cannot be saved by
because some of it is carried in
powders, which require some sort OF
crushing. They include so much ma
terial that surely carries nothing of
value that it would hardly seem advis
able to install expensive crushing and
MATCHMAKING machinery unless it were
found practical to sort the ore from the
waste by hand. Besides these unfavor-
able conditions, only very small AMI
supply of water is available
for placer operations. The placers con-
tain, however, some free gold that might
be procured at profit if the deposits
are worked in small way.

CLEAN YOUR LIVER AND so FEET
OF BOWELS With "SYRUP OF FIGS
More effective than caome castor oil or Salts gently ceanses
the stomach, liver and bowels without nausea or

You know when your liver is bad,
when your bowels are sluggish, You
feel certain dullness and depression,
perhaps the approach of headache,
your stomach gets sour and full of

Most people shrink from a physic-
they think of castor oil, calomel, salts
or cathartic pills.
It's different with Syrup of Figs.
Its effect is as that of fruit; of eating
coarse food; of exercise. Take a tea
spoonful of delicious Syrup of Figs
tonight and you won't realize you
have taken anything until morning,

Major Frank McNeeIy Died in a
Boston Hotel Week Ago
ALUABLES WERE NOT FOUND
Medical Examiner Reported That AL
bany, N. Y, Man Died Of Natural
Causes-An Investigation of the
Case Will Be Made.

Boston. Sept. 90 That Maj. Frank
iutant general of the third brigade, \.
g., n. Y, who was found dead in the
Thorndike house, rs Green street, last
Thursday, was killed and robbed, is the
belief of Albany relatives and friends.
1t is reported that an investigation viii
be begun Immediately.
Members of the family say that when
Maj McNeely left Albany last We'd
nesday he carried considerable money
and some iewelry. When his body was
found, his relatives say, there was but
two cents in the pockets and valuable
gold watch and diamond scarf pin We're
also missing. Friends also assert that
cut on the back of the majors head
and an abrasion over his right eye in
dictate foul play.
Medical Examiner McGrath after an
investigation reported the death was due
to natural causes and the Boston police
dropped the matter.
Albany friends of McNeely said yes
terday that the name "A. MUS under
which Maj. McNeely was registered, was
in another handwriting than his.
The Albany police have been informed
that two men accompanied the major to
the Thorndike house and went upstairs
to the room with him.
From all these circumstances the the
DRY is built up that the major. had been
given Knockout dope; that he was
brought to the room, possibly struck on
the head and, in any event, left for
dead, with the gas turned up to cover
up the crime under the cloak of suicide.
The prominence of Mai McNeely
makes the mystery as to his death all
the more notable. He was 43 years old,
unmarried. He was secretary OF the
New York armory commission, had par
ticipated in all the notifications of the
New York National Guard and was
known as skillful tachisian and wise
He joined company b,
10th battery, n. Y. n. G., at Albany in
1894, and had risen through the non
and then commissioned
grades to the rank of major and of adj
iutant general of the Sd brigade. He
left Albany last week to visit friends
in Boston, including John F. Dever, clerk
of committees of Boston city council
Mr.. Dever, as it happened, was out of
the city at the time.
The next known was the discovery of
the majors body in a room at the
Thorndike house on Green street last
at 10 a. m.

when you strike the village yor
strike the hog" is an old saying among
those who drive about. There may be
ordinances against him, but they can
not be enforced. The hog is turned
loose to make the village picturesque,
and he never quits his job until called
upon to fill the pork barrel.
The village of Stamford had its hogs
md its lnudholes to comfort them. Sam
Harris was one of the fifty hog own:
ers. and when he died he left his wild
ow n house and lot and hog 1t
wasn't porker In pen, but hog
that was running at large around the
streets of the village. 1t was against
the ordinance for live stock to run at
large. but everybody felt sorry for
Sans widow, and the hog was not dis
turbed 1t was only when Josiah Flint
was made village marshal that the old
black porker was driven off to the
pound one day. There were folks that
said 1t was right and folks that said
it was wrong. and there was so
much feeling about it that after two or
three days d public meeting was called.
There was big turnout. and the first
speaker was Squire Flatbush. The
squire always starts every one Of his
speeches with the landing of the pill
grims and gradually works down.
Abraham Fuller came next Abe had
an undeliyered Fourth Of July address
that he had been holding on to for sew
eral years, and he had determined to
with the battle Of Lexington. and he
got down to Benedict Arnold before he
brought in the hog. From that time
until the colonies won their independ-
ence, liberty and the widow Harris,
the American eagle and that black hog
were sandwiched In to make q power
full speech of 1t, and when he closed 1t
was amid applause. Had a vote been
taken then the hog would have been
released. but there was delay Of two
or three minutes, and 1t was fatal
Moses Taylor got his feet under him
and rose up and began on that speech
of his about the rise and fall of the
Roman empire. He had got 1t off a
dozen times before. and it had always
weighed a ton. Moses was the only
man who was way up on the Roman
empire. and he knew 1t and made the
Ibest of it In eleven minutes he Gre
ated and destroyed the empire and
knocked out the widows hog. and his
own oratorical effect was decided to be
equal to anything Of Clay's.
Ebenezer Schoolcraft had ranged
himself with the anti-hog anti-wIdow
party. He had resurrected a political
speech he made when General Grant
twas a candidate for second term.
Everybody was wondering just how
he could swing the hog into the
speech, but he did 1t as handsome as
you please and made 1t tell. 1t was
over half hog and had there been a
campaign on it would have elected the !

concluded and sat down with broken |

Boy Scouts of America Refuse Offer of
Fire Arms.

James f. West, chief scout executive
of the boy scouts of America, finds il
necessary to assert repeatedly that the
boy scouts of America is not a military
organization. Recently Captain John +,
Sheridan of New York City wrote to
West offering him large consignment
of European and American rifles at II
low cost. In reply Mr.. West wrote:
you evidently have a misconception Of
the scout movement in this country.
This office is doing all it possibly can
to discourage the use of fire arms by the
boy scouts. We absolutely forbid their
making use of guns as part of their
equipment. For this reason you will see
that we have no use for the information
which you have been good enough to
