1t is easily understood why so many
who have faith in the treasure go and
look for it, for finders are keepers in
this primitive place.
Two citizens of Murphysboro have
gone over Swallow Rock almost as
carefully as a prisoner seeking to es-
cape goes over his cell, and recently
they made a discovery that reused the
treasure fever of the community. They
found a cave in which was what they
believed to be a wall Of cement. They
spent days working into this wall with
pick and dynamite, but it profited then;

hopes of getting it with dynamite.
A great deal Of money and time are
being spent in Jackson county in this
search, but faith in treasure is faith
by itself. Although no one has yet won
reward, the hunt for the gold said to
have been sealed in cave by Spaniards
300 years ago still goes on.

MOUTH OF A SUPPOSED TREASURE CAVE
came i'll and went to Cairo, where he
died. The map disappeared, presuma-
bly, going with the man who returned
to Spain.
Where the Spaniards had abandoned
the search the settlers in the neighDor-
hood took it up. They hammered the
Solid cliffs, seeking sounds that would
locate the sealed cave. They cleaned
out crevices and rolled away powders.
Like nimble gatherers of the edelWeiss,
they scaled high cliffs and went up ana
dcwn upon ropes and vines. But never
a pot of gold did they find. Their chill
dren did it all over again, and never
thing did they find. Then the grand
children, thinking their ancestors less
cunning than they, took a new whirl
at it.
The proof that the search has been
going on in Swallow Rock for years
and years is everywhere. Almost every
creyice and rock In the district bears
evidence that explosives and plckaxes
have been at work. The cliffs nave
been hammered and hunted. and black
powder and dynamite have hurled
huge powders Of limestone down the
hills. There are inscriptions In rocks
that date back three-quarters of cen
tury. Heavy timbers have been put IN
where there was danger of rocks fall
ing in on the searchers. At the foot or
the bluffs the whole leyel is a tenting
oround for treasure hunters. and every
where are the ashes of their camps.

Especial Correspondence


CARBoNDALE, ILL.,, Dec. % II you
happen to know of big cave in Jack
son county, H., and If it happens to be
the cave all that county and portions
of two or three others are looking for
just now, your information will be
worth considerable money. In the east
every now and then there is a sensa-
ton over Captain Kidd's buried treas
ure, but it is seldom that the west gets
excited over anything less than cave
with a couple Of million dollars in it,
and it must be an old cave at that.
This Jackson county cave is an antique,
and its hoard of gold has just enough
rust on it to tinge the whole story with
romance.
Here at Carbonate and at Murphys-
boro and other towns the hidden treas
ure is the chief topic of interest. All
who can get away are hot on it's trail.
The story which has made almost the
entire population of the county an ar
my of gold seekers is as follows:
Somewhere in the Swallow Rock dis
trlct, which lies along the Mississippi
the length of the county, is a sealed
cave. In this sealed cave are pots of
gold placed there 300 years ago by
Spanish Adventures who were sore
pressed by Indians Of the southwest
and took refuge in the rough country
back of Grand>Tower. They establish
ed a stronghold in the rocks and dis
patched messengers to the gulf Of Mex
leo for aid. To secure their treasure
for their people in the event of disaster
they sealed it in cave and sent by the
messengers directions for finding the
treasure inscribed upon buckskin. The
Indians laid siege to the place, and
here persisted miserably the entire
Spanish force save the two messengers
sent to the gulf.
The first white settlers were visited
by two Spaniards who carried the
buckskin map. They searched for the
treasure for months, and finally one OF
them returned to Spain. The other be-
