Treasure TrOye.

Mr.. w. l.. Scott of this city. who was one
OF The earliest settlers of this section of
country, and perfectly reliable In1u, has
given us the following for publication:
In July, 1919, the second steamb boat that
ever passed up the Missouri river struck a
snag AT the head Of Hardeman's island, be-
tween Boonville and Arrow Rock. and i'm
mediately sunk. The boat was loaded
principally with government stores. 1t mad
in the hold a large quantity of Monouga-
hela whisky and also 100000 in silver coin,
which was being taken to Council Bluffs to
pay the government troops stationed at
that place, which was then the extreme out
post OF civilization. Mr.. Scott, though a
small boy at the time, lived very near the
scene of the accident, and remem bers well
what was related by the officers of the boat
at the time. and also by the agents of the
government who came some time after.
looking alter the lost treasure. When the
government agents arrived the river had
swollen ID such an extent that no vestige
Of the boat was TO be seen, and they re-
ported TO the government that it was in
possible 10 recover the money, or any por-
ton OF the cargo.
Fifty-six years have passed away, vet Mr..
Scott says he can now point out tho exact
place where the unfortunate steamer lies
buried with its valuable cargo. He is prob
ably the Only man living who can do go,
and he is well advanced in wears. The
government can yet reclaim the m oney if
1t will make the effort: or, if n release can
be given by the government, private parties
will undoubtedly undertake it.-B1ouc;ue

A shower of Gold,

The doors of the Bank of California we're
closed on the twenty-sixth of August. They
were opened again on Saturday the second
of October, amid the greatest imaginable
enthusiasm. At the hour of opening, flags
were h0isted on all the city banks, and dis
played from the public and many private
buildings. Salutes were fired from Meggs'
wharf and Telegraph Hill, and the machine
steam whistles were blown at all the mills,
factories and machine shops throughout the
city A crowd of thousands gathered in
front OF the bank building, among them
stream of depositors, with bags of gold on
their arms or shoulders, forced til cir way
to the counters to deposit their double
eagles. BY twelve o'clock noon, the hour
for closing, the train of depostOrs had NOT
ceased, and the bank was kept open an
hour longer for their accommodation. The
deposits OF gold-not a SOLITARY greenhack
or bank note making its appearance-
amounted to about 81 ,05O 900. About $780,
900 were checked out during the day by those
whose money had been locked up since the
bank closed, thus leaving deposits about
STOOo0O in excess of payments. Ima CINE
over 81 100000 in gold poured out, during
two Or three hours, from canvass bags,

counters against the wall. All gold-new
and bright as if direct from the mint. and
not solitary rag baby among all the gilt
tering stacks! How long, o, how long, till
well. till the first day OF January. 1879,
when the greenbacks can lie in piles beside
the yellow eagles, and be hailed with equal
grace, and business communities can carry
their deposits to the bank in their side
pockets, instead of Juggling them on their
shoulders in canvass bags!
The promptness with which the syndicate
OF The Bank of California adjusted it's
affairs and resumed business. is significant
OF the vast enterprise, public spirit and
wealth of that great State. At the opening
there was general rejoicing. the only draw
back being the sight of the vacant chair
and desk of poor Ralston, for whose sad
fate there was manifested one general feel
ing of regret; and it is stated that many
tear of sadness was dropped, BIZ some of
bis former associates, on the mentioning of
his name at the reopening of the bank

ant funds. and under the most favorable
auspices, - Washington Chronicle.
