Chart In Museum Of
Mexico
Furnished Clue to Location Of
Aztec Cavern.

Mermosillos, Mex. Nov. 15-A re-
markable story. duly authenticated, of
the discovery of hidden Aztec treasure
of fabulous value has just been report
ed to the government authorities at
Tepic. by Pablo Mertino, the parish
priest Of Yesca.
A party of Americans headed by an
Archaeological named Heverick, several
weeks ago by means Of a chart, which
Heverick claimed to have copied from
an Aztec stone tablet in the national
museum in the city of Mexico, located
a vast cavern in n mountain near
YaJca. Immense stone images stood
about this chamber. In one end was q
handsome altar, above which burned n
bright flame, supplied by natural gas
from n crevice in tie wall. 1t has
probably been burning. for many cen
turtles. In a chamber adjoining was
found a great store of ornaments and
utensils. Twelve burros were required
TO transport the articles to San Bias,
where they were shipped to San Fran
cisco. accompanied by the Americans.
1t is said to be the largest and most
valuable collection of ancient relics
ever discovered in Mexico. Such arti-
cles cannot be removed from Mexico
without the consent Of the government
and an investigation is in progress.

| It seems Incredible. yet it is fact
| that Emperor William of Germany Is
| often short of money, and the reason
IS because lie rarely carries any money
In his pockets.
The other day lie was 1T festival
with his brother. Prince Henry, and
his attention being drawn to a new
automatic machine. he resolved to PIT
coin in the slot in order to see how
the apparatus worked. When he
searched for Il coin. however, he could
not find one. ana he was obliged to
borrow from his brother.
On various other occasions, and cs-
pccially while hunting, since it is his
custom to give money to the foresters
and other attendants. he has found ii
necessary to borrow from his omnan
ions.
The only time when he fills his peck
cts with money is on Christmas eve,
for it has long been his custom to stroll
at that time through the streets near
his palace and to give money to all de-
serving persons whom lie meets, but
especially to children and old soldiers

And were buoyant beneath the May

And heard the sweet word in July.
