A
New Location for the removing Lead
cr's TrcMsure Said to BE an IsInnd.

New Location for tho Renowned Lead
er's Treasure Said to he an Island.
Periodically a report is circulated by a
local syndicate of gamblers, says the Phil
adelphia Times, that Montezuma's hidden
treasure has been located. First it was re-
ported that the treasure was on some one
Of the islands off the coast of Los Angeles,
but after the schemers learned that they
would not be permitted to make of the island
a modern inferno on the style Of Monte
Carlo, they now locate the treasure on
Tiburon (Whale) island, in the Gulf Of Cali
fornia, Mexico. The island Is inhabited by
a tribe of cannibal Indians called Serbs. The
syndicate attempted to organize a company
of Americans in Arizona to cross over and
wipe out the Indians, Offering each man $50
a month and 800 acres of land If he sur
vived. The scheme failed. The Arizonians
had heard of the numerous expeditions that
Mexico had sent to the man-eating Island
which did not return. Now the bait is made
more alluring by locating the supposed i'm
mense treasures of Montezuma upon the
island. The chief promoter is now operating
from Mexico, and proposes to fit out an eX-
petition to be taken to the island on a
schooner. The schooner is presumably to
take away the gold.
The "well authenticated Legend is a fiction.
Montezuma never left the City of Mexico.
Neither did any Of his lieutenants. He had
no great treasures of gold" as is popularity
supposed, and II there had been any in the
Golfers IL is hardly possible that Cortez would
have been so blind as to let 1t escape him, for
that Ia what he was after-the main object of
his conquest. Surprising that Montezuma did
have untold treasures" according to tradi-
ton, there were plenty Of mountain caverns
and otter places to bury t witout hauling 1t
several hundred miles. In southwestern Ari-
iona there is a deep pool Of water called
"Montezuma's Well" and it is stated in an
authenticated Legend that Montezuma carted
his treasure all the way from Mexico and
dumped It into this pool. Hence its name.
For several years this syndicate, one OF
whom Is an ex-federal officer who does a land
office business as a gambler, has been en-
deavoring to get an island for a gambling
resort. About a year ago Mexico made a
weak claim to the chain Of islands of the
southern California coast. 1t is
now believed tat these fellows had
induced some of the Mexican officials
to set up this claim to see how 1t
would take. But the United States gave 1t
no attention, The principal mover of this
island gambling resort, John Bradbury, is a
brother-in-law Of the two brothers who own
Catalina island, a summer resort twenty-five
miles off the coast opposite Los Angeles.
They believed that II Mexico could success
fully claim the islands they could make of
Catalina a gambling resort. Failing, they
now turn their attention to Tiburon island,
in the Gulf Of California, having purchased
or leased 1t from Mexico. II these promoters
accompany the expedition the public Will rest
easy.

he left and said that he was feeling much I'M
proved in health.
He said that he thought Omaha would be
opened to the east by some new railway con-
~nections at an early date. The syndicate
which recently purchased the Omaha Il st.
Louis road would soon build a line filling In
the gap between Pattonsburg and Trenton,
Mo. He said that the matter had been hang
ing fire since last December, but now every
thing was settled, He thought 1t likely that
a line would also be constructed between
Quincy and Beardstown, H., connecting with
the Baltimore a. Ohio system at the latter
point. The Santa Fe system would be met
at Hurdland, Mo, and the route from Omaha
to Chicago via the Santa Fee would be only
twenty-five miles longer than by the Burling-
ION routp.
