for using the mails to defraud in
connection with raising funds to

and fled, has been arrested in
Atlantic City, it was learned here
today.
A deputy United States marshal,
armed with a bench warrant, has
gone there to return Layton here
for trial on the charge. The Spe-

that he collected more than $11 600

an accounting of the money.

Layton, who resided at 3135
Connecticut Ave. N. W., was ar

The bust was the work of Moses
Dykaar, distinguished sculptor who
later ended his life. 1t was placed
on display in the National Gallery
of Art, and a price of $4,000 was
placed on it.
General Squier, who served in
France with General Pershing,
headed a committee to raise funds
to make the purchase, and Layton
was engaged to contact some so
citizens for funds.

some $4,000 letters appealing for

TO $40 PER Ton

Standard Silver Lead company
production in April from the Gould
mine near Marysville totaled $780,
524.O9. Total expense during the
month was less than half of this
amount. However, the company is
paying 1870 royalty on the purchase
price which has now been reduced
to about s45,0 600. The mill is
saving 96.44 percent of the gold
and 80 per cent of the silver. To
further increase the savings, es-
pecia1ly of the silver, two new
cyanide tanks are being installed.
Mill heads have been gradually
increasing in value and at the
present time are at the highest rate
in the company's history with an
assay value of $19.55 per ton. This
compares with $12.15 a year ago
and $3.50 one month ago. Active
deve1oment work Is now in progress
