Turkish government and the treas
ure discovered In the Russian admir-
ais ship. sunk ut Tcherman at the
time OF the naval battle 81 1870. when
the Turkish feet was completely de-
stroyed.
The search was continued with
striking success. These fortunate
divers have become rich. but the
Turkish government also has obtained
some large amounts. inasmuch as II
has reserved for itself The hon share.
The fact Is that the Russian vessel.
which sank in a depth OF thirty faith.
oms. abounds In pieces OF E0ld and
silver. At first the divers paid gttcn-
ton To the former only. OF which they
found full SACKS. These pieces are
mostly single, double and quadruple
ducnts.
II already has been announced that
on the first shipment 60 Constantine
pie the divers obtained for their part
the sum OF 216.OOO francs. The daily
work OF the divers amounts 10 from
5000 to 10000 pieces OF gold. A spe-

by officers OF the Turkish navy and by
