Amysterious search has been progressing
for several weeks past in the edge of the
old Miller & Lux corral. bounded by
Bryant avenue and Mariposs street, and
the residents in that vicinity have nearly
wagged their tongues off regarding the
affair.
Each night a Mexican woman, accom-
panied by several Mexican men, has
taken up a position on Mariposa street
and dug in the hard earth for hours. Two
huge holes are evidence of the earnestness
of the labors of the diggers. The search
is for buried treasure. but so far it has
developed nothing. The woman is Mrs
Larias of ButchertowD, and her husband,
