unDERrLow OF RIO eRAnDE.
Breaks Out and lmoedes the Progress
of Southern Pacific Bridge
Building Gang.

El Paso, Tex, Aug. 4.-The South
ern Pacific railway, which is building
a bridge across the Rio Grande near
this city, has demonstrated in a pure
ly accidental manner that the under
flow in the channel of the river which
has been dry for ten months is a
large. strong river itself, flowing thro'
the deep sand.
In constructing the bridge it was
necessary for the engineers to sink
a shaft in the sand in which to erect
pier. The shaft had been sunk to
a depth of about 20 feet in an effort
TO reach a good foundation. when the
flow of water became so great that
the work was impeded and large
pump had to be kept running day
and night to clean out the shaft that
the workmen might proceed with
their labors.
Government engineers are at pres
ent in the vicinity making a careful
test of the rivers underf1ow with the
view of making a report on the feast
bility of an immense reservoir to be
constructed on the Rio Grande at a
cost of $4,000 900.

HUNT FOR BURIED TREASURE
Ended in Wreckine of Village and
Death of Two Persons.

Death of Two Persons.
Berlin, Aug. 4.-From Kayan, Rus
sia. comes the story of a remarkable
treasure hunt which ended in the
wrecking of village and the death
of two persons. 1t appears that a
legend current among the people of
the Volsk district declared that dur
ing the Crimean war a treasure cap
tured from the English, amounting to
tens of millions of roubles, was bur-
led under the village of Kostro, t'for
which Russian was engaged in the
twentieth century" A number of To-
cal patriots, led by a carpenter nam
ed Shavovsky. set out to. discover the
buried millions, intending to offer
them to the Gear. At first they met
with considerable resistance from the
hOuse-owners, but at last the latter,
being convinced that it was patriotic
work, joined in the search. The earth
Flnder nearly every house in the vii
iage was tunneled, many of the walls
sagging. and after three days dig
ging the village looked as if it had
been wrecked by hurricane. No
treasure was found, and as the origi-
nal explorers abandoned the search
they were attacked by the deluded
Kostrovans, two being drowned in
the village pond.
