Says the BIO Is Located.
The steamer Rio de Janeiro may
soon yield up the treasures which she

wrecked in the Golden Gate on the
morning of February 22d Captain
John Ross, a veteran marine who sail
ed out of san Francisco for thirty
years, and who has been in the wreck
ing business for ten years, declares
that he has located the Rio, and that
he has known for six weeks where she

not make his find known. These reas-
ons, he says, were three in number:
Other persons were seeking the wreck
| he did not care to show his hand until
he had authority from the owners OF
the Rio to go to work on her, and the
weather conditions were such that div
| ing was impossible.
Ross has now obtained authority from
a majority of the owners. He filed a
report with the Rio Wrecking Com
pany, by which he is employed, recit-
| ing that the wreck had been located
and touching on his plans for the flu
| ture. He did not give the location of
the sunken vessel, nor the depth of
water she is in, but merely announced
that he had found her
Although Ross does not give the
ueptn OF water, II is presumed from the
fact that he speaks of diving that she
| is lying in about twenty fathoms. He
| is positive that he has found the vessel
and looks forward to the work Of sal
wage with the air of a man who sees
| no obstacles before him. What the
wreck of the Rio will yield is problem
atical. but as she carried a rich cargo
the wreckers expect a rich return for
their labors. If the vessel has held to-
| gether probably many bodies will be
found, for although about 1870 persons
were drowned, very few bodies came
ashore, and these few were picked up on
the day of the wreck

Disaster is believed to have happened
to the American ship Susquehanna. one
of the best-known sailing vessels flying
