ject sought, the water suddenly burst in
on them, and the men engaged escaped
with their lives and fine drenching. This
disaster practically ended the operations
of this company.
Until 1919 nothing was done in the di-
rection of recovering the treasure, but in
that year a new company was formed
and operations were resumed at the old
stand. At this time two of the old dig
gers, namely, DR.. Lynds of Truro and Mr.
Vaughn of Western Shore, were still alive
and gave the managers much valuable in
formation regarding the old workings
Mr.. Vaughn quickly located the site Of
the money pitt which in the mean time
had been filled up. Digging was commence
ed and went on without interruption I'M
til the depth Of eighty-six feet had been
reached, when the water again put in ap-
pearance and the men were driven out Of
the pit.
After an unsuccessful attempt to bail
the water out work was suspended and
the men returned to their homes. Shortly
after men with boring apparatus of prim-
tive description, used in prospecting for
coal were sent to the island. J. 3. Nc
Gully of Truro, who is still living and
can Vouch for these facts, was manager
A platform was rugged in the money pit
thirty feet below the surface and just
above the water. The boring was started
the platform was struck at ninety-eight
feet just as the old diggers found it
when sounding with the iron bar After
going through this platform, which was
five inches thick, and proved to be spruce
the auger dropped twelve inches and then
went through four inches of oak; then II
went through twenty-five inches of metal
in pieces, but the anger failed to take any
of it except three links, resembling an an
cient watch chain. 1t then went through
eight inches Of oak, which was thought
to be the bottom of the. first box and TOP
Of the next; then six inches Of spruce
then into clay seven feet without strik
ing anything else.

of clairvoyants and divining rods being

1t seems odd that just at the dawn Of
the twentieth century a regularly incor-
porated company with a capital of $4,000
should be working night and day to re-
cover the buried treasures of Capt Kidd.
Yet that is what the Oak Island Treas
ure Company is doing al Oak Island in
Malone Bay on the southeast coast of
Nova Scotia. A score of men are digging
away under the direction of a superin-
tendent. The company does not claim
that the treasure it is striving for was
buried necessarily by Capt Kidd. but
that it was buried years ago by pirates.
Oak Island is scarcely a mile long and
perhaps half a mile wide. It rises grad
ually from the waters edge until near
the center, at the highest point, it is 200
feet above the sea level. There is rather
sparse growth of scrubby oak at the
eastern end. The formation of the island
is hard clay. The only buildings to be
seen are an old farmhouse and a little
shanty occupied by the superintendent
OF the works. The works comprise
three or four pits and a queer rig sug-
gestive Of the southern cotton gin. A
horse walks around in circle harnessed
to pole. This pole connects with a
primitive windlass. Thus are the bar
rels of dirt and mud, but so far no money.
brought from the pits to the surface.
Here is the story of the hidden treasure
as told by Adam Topper, the superin-
tendent:
Much fiction has been written con-
corning great sums of money and vast
quantities of jewels buried by pirates some
~ years ago somewhere along the At
lahtlc coast. / deal only with facts as
stated by men now living who had a
Lahd IN them or as told to them by men
now dead. So claim it can be proved:

u diameter and 100 feet deep was sunk

= That this shaft was connected by
an underground tunnel with the open
Ocean, about 365 feet distant.
D. That at the bottom of this shaft
we're placed large wooden boxes in which

without success to obtain this treasure

treasure is large.

New York, June 8. A benefit was
given Jack Dempsey at Madison Square
Garden tonight, at which many noted
pugilists appeared. Among the bouts was
a three round boxing exhibition between
George Dixon of Boston and Jack Lynch
of Philadelphia The colored champion
made things very warm for the Quaker,
and was loudly applauded
Joe Choynski IT San Francisco and
Bob Armstrong colored of Washington,
Iowa, donned the mittens for a three
round eX hibition. a
Jim Hall and Mick Dunn, both of
Australia, SPARED three pretty lively
rounds, and were followed by Kid Mccoy
Of Boston and Harry Pidgeon of Chicago,
in d three round exhibition.
A tremendous outburst of applause
heralded the appearance of james j..
| Corbett, who SPARED three rounds with
John McVey of Philadelphia. Every
| movement OF the champion was keenly
watched by the sports, as he has com
| menced training at Asbury Park for his
coming fight with Fitzsimmons.
Another ovation greeted Bob Fitzsim-
mons, middleweight champion of the
world, who appeared in a three-round
bout with Frank Bosworth of Buffalo,
and the middleweight's cleyerness was
loudly applaud ed.
The spectators fairly went wild with
excitement when John L. Sullivan and
the beneficiary, Jack Dempsey, clambered
| through the ropes. After repeated calls
of speech, the only John L. thanked
the spectators for their appreciation, say
ing in his oldtime foroible style: s'We
| two old 'has-beens' will endeavor to dc,
serve your applause - He then proceeded
to spar three exhibi ton rounds with
Dempsey.
