IT strikes US that the St. Joe Lead
Co.. IS organ is OVERRIDING the trumpet
ing act in its fulsome laudation of that
company's recent action in increasing
the wages OF its employees 10 or ID per
cent, and in its attempt to paint the
whole business armament couleur de
rose on the strength of the operation.
The St. Joe Co. is entitled to full credit
for all the liberality it may extend to
its men; but its recent little play of
philanthropy is not of sufficient mag
nitude to cause the labor world to rise
up and call it blessed above all others.
Besides, by attracting too much atten-
tion through self-congratulatory lauda-
tions of its superior claim to generosi-
ty, comparisons may be suggested, and.
in the language of Dogberry, Com
parisous are ordorous." There is a
question as to whether its reductions
of wages within the last year were

ports be true it has never failed to
earn liberal dividend on its capital
stock; and we know that one lead COM
pany at least in this county which pro-
duces about two-thirds as much lead
as the st. Joe-the Central, or Flat
river-did not see any occasion to cut
the wages of its employees, but has
been paying them all along from 20 to
25 per cent. more than the st. Joe
paid; and even now, since the latter
company's boosted increase of 10 or Is
per cent, the Central is paying its
miners and drillers better wages than
the st. Joe. So the "big company"
will have to make a further advance
of 10 or Is per cent. in wages before
it can come up with the Central or
show that it has an abiding and sincere
confidence in that wave of prosperity
which it would have us believe it has
set a-rolHng.- FdrnrngtOn Times.

AFTER A BURIED TREASURE
Vast Sum of Money Said to Be
SecPeted in Coc0s Island.
British Flagship Imperieuse Has

To- Be Worth $4,000, 900.

Victoria, B. c., Nov. 3-The British

zoo miles west Of Panama. 1t went to
that island for the purpose of searching
for the treasure, supposed to be worth
about $40. .0o0, 600, which has long been
reported TO have been buried there III the
earIy part Ct this century, and the hiding
place OF which a man named Hartford de-
cIsres he discovered about two years ago.
The Officers OF the flagship say that
the treasure actually exists. Their be
lief in the story is shown by the fact
that they have left a guard Of marines
on the island ana one Of the smaller yes
sels 81 the squadron viii return immedi-
ateIy.
One story afloat here tonight is that the

and ttat the vessel which is about TO
start for Cocos Island viii bring back tie
baIauce Of the treasure. Hartford and
man nanicd Harris have returned to this
port on tie Imperieuse.
THIS treasure was taken to Cocos Island
from the Pacific coast of South Africa
during tn" revolutionary wars in the sec
ond decade OF this century, when the Span
ish colonies won their independence frCm
the mother country.
Some years az go chart puTportine 10

coast and Went 10 the island about

HarTic, Who arrived on the ImperieuSe.
On the island they found Hartford there
all alone and nearly dead OF his priva tionS.
He, too, lad gone there TO search FOR the
treasure having induced a vessel 10 land
him on the deSolate coast, nearly a year
earlier He told the party thathe hadfound
the treasure and that he alone possesssdthe
clew.
The party did not believe that Hartford
could keep a monopoIyDf the secret. aud
So they made a careful search of the
island Finally they gave up tie search
ana tried 10 come to terms with Earford.
He wanteda n good deal more than half OF
the treasure for his share, and after days
OF talk the party sailed back to Victoria
taking Hartford with them.
He at once set about securing the serv-
ices of a vessel to take him back to Cocos
Island hat finally started ON the flagship
