H|GH GRADE RS ARE CAUGHT
 WITH GOLD
(By Associated Pressl

CHEYENNE, June 27 - When Tony Cuaz, representing himself as Joe Neix. a Nevada mining man, offered $l5,000 worth of gold bullion for sale at the San Francisco mint May I, 1917, he precipitated about himself and al legged associates a structure which SC Cret service operatives had been rear. ing for the better part of year. For more than eight months government agents declare they had been unravel- ing the ends of an alleged stolen gold everything else in that line on record. Estimates placed the amount involved at $300,00O annually, and the govern ment men said the conspiracy had been in operation more than two years. The qualifications of the affair extended through parts of Colorado, Wyoming, California, to Pennsylvania, and New York, and it was said in some quarters to New Mexico.
 NudE NdS Sdlu lO Dt tllt SbltS dEtllt of the organization. He, with others had been under surveillance for many months prior to his arrest, and al though it had not been intended that any men should be taken into custody until indictments had been brought by federal grand jury, as one of the secret service men said. "When the mint wired us that Tony was there with $15,000 in gold in seemed too bad to let him get away with it."
 According to the account of the af. fair given by this officer, who was al the heart of the work of running down the alleged conspirators. the mint of ficiaIs told Cuaz to return the next day. When he did so he was arrested Within a few hours thereafter John B. Cusack, John Muehlhausen, Carl Muehlhausen, Martin Snodgrass and Charles E. Reed, all of Cheyenne, had been tarrested here, and Frank Coch ran, an assayer, had been arrested at his home in Victor, Col.
 These men, the officers said, were held on charges of "defrauding the government because the method in operation of the alleged organization was to receive stolen high grade gold ore from miners at an assayer's of flee, where it was smelted then con vey its to other points, one of which was said to be Cheyenne, in automo- piles, and later to ship it to some point designated, where one of the members of the organization would offer it for sale at a federal mint or assay office, which, the officers pointed out, placed the government agents to look into ceiving, stolen goods. Most of the ore government men said, came from mines in the Cripple Creek, Col, dis trict.
 The shipments said to have been made from Cheyenne were by express, and 1t was the large amount of gold shipped from that point, distant from any gold producing centers. which led the government agent sto look into the alleged conspiracy.
 Several other arrests followed those of the men named, and shortly indict- ments were returned by a federal grand jury at Cheyenne against them and tbe following Charles Daniels, Cripple Creeka.
