1t is now believed that the famous
Mccartney Mountain treasure has ell
ther been unearthed, or that parties
who have been digging there of late,
have uncovered find that will ulti-
mately lead to the discovery of the
hidden wealth The story Is an old
one, and since the treasure was sup
posed to have been hidden away by
pirate at the base of Mccartney Noun
tain, hundreds of people have dug for
it, only to desist after months of
weary toll and fruitless search. Parties
have been seen late about Nehalem and
Seaside with old Spanish coins in their
possession, and from what has leaked
out, it is understood that big find has
at last been made in the spot where so
much time and money has already been
wasted
