his services, The exact spot was finally
located on the ranch of Mrs. Narbonne,
about four miles back of San Pedro. To
make assurance doubly SIRE, Pullman
then consulted number of spiritualistic
mediums, all of whom assured him that
the right spot had been found. Pullman,
in his search for spiritualistic advice,
finally came across Mrs. Matte Salmon, a
wonderful crystal reading medium with
clairvoyant sight," residing at the corner
of Twelfth and Beach streets. Mrs.
Salmon, who is quite we'll to do. aud is a
woman of some culture and refinement,
soon got Pullman completely under her
control, and since he met her he has been
governed almost altogether by her advice.
She, like the others, assured him that he
was on the right track, and advised him to
get up a company, to be called the
the buried wealth. Acting on this sug-
gestion, Pullman proceeded to get his COM
pany together, drawing up a paper, in
which it was specified that Mrs. Salmon
should have an equal interest with other
members of the company. After much
persuasion and talk Pullman finally got
eight men to put in SIS each and their SER
vices. A tent Was secured, a windlass and
buckets made, tools bought, a wagon Sc
cured, and the treasure seekers started out
for San Pedro. They arrived at the spot
in due time and at once proceeded to sink
a SIlaIu. 4ney were Only at the WOfk Two
days when the owner of the property put
in an appearance and ordered them off the
land. In the meantime dissensions had
broken out among the workers and the ex-
petition returned to Los Angeles.
On reporting to Mrs. Salmon she told
Pullman that he was on the right spot, and
that il he had gone ten feet deeper the
treasure would have been secured. She
advised that another expedition be organ

this mission, in which, by the way, he is
still engaged. Day and night he sits in his
little room talking over his great scheme
with all who will give him the time.
He is cheerful and happy. and assures
all that come that he is sure of success, and
that a fortune awaits anyone who will in
vest 81 in the enterprise. He says that
he cares nothing for the money himself, as
he intends to devote his share to building a
great spiritualistic temple. He only wants
to get twenty more men, and then his work
will be resumed and carried to successful
conclusion.
When asked if he was not afraid that 9TH
ers might get ahead of him, Pullman hope
fully replied that he was not; that if any
one but himself should try to get the treas
IRE he would meet with some great mis-
fortune and even lose his life, as God would
interpose to protect the treasure for the
rightful owner, who was, of course, him
self.
Pullman hopes to get his company to-

will be made to get the wealth, and in the
meantime the little man sits in his room
waiting for volunteers to come forward.
1t may be stated that none of the money
paid in by the treasure seekers has been

out in debt on his last venture, but all
who have paid in the SIS can go
with the new company without further
cost. One of the original members,who was
induced to put up $35, has taken possess
