ALLEGED PIRATE GOLD
In BIIOXI'S BACK BAY.
Sought by Organized Company A
Futile Search For Gold, BUT 4 Dis
covery Made of Sunken Pirate Yes.
setback Bay Frequented by Gold
Seekers Traditions.

The stories so often told of pirate
treasure near Biloxi have led to the for
nation of small company to make g
systematic exploration during the COM
ing summer for at least such booty as
may be concealed beneath the waters OF
the Back bay of Biloxi.
The most promising field for exploit a
ton, and the one which will first receive
attention, is a point opposite the site OF
Fort Maurepas, founded by Lemoyne
d'Iberville, about one-half mile from
shore, and known to the old oystermen
as "the rock pile".
For many years the residents of BIZ
| loxi, who made their living by longing
oysters, had known of this rock pile and
had noticed that the oysters which they
picked up at this point were often tinged
with iron rust, The water there is about
eight feet deep at ordinary tide; and the
old fishermen used to often grasp some
thing with their wooden oyster tongs
which they would tug at for awhile and
then, with little curiosity, turn loose.
One evening, late in the summer of
1898, Eugene Tiblier, Jr,, q boy of Is
years, was alone in skiff longing oys-
tefs en- the rock pile, when his tongs
struck something hard and solid, WIS.,
ions Of buried treasure, of which he had
heard from his youth up, overcame his
fears, and he decided to make an inves-
tigation. He was good swimmer. and,
arraying himself only in the glad sun
shine OF the summer evening, he dived
where his tengs had caught something
he knew to be larger than one oyator.
In the clear water Of the bay he could
see, while naar the bottom and clinging
To his tongs, that the object which had
attracted his attention, was the mouth
of an old eahnen protruding from the
sand, mua and oysters. The next day
he, his father and three other men re-
turned to the spot on schooner, pre-
pared for work, with visions of Spanish
doubloons for inspiration.
FUTILE SEARCH.
For week the meu labored with the
moat primitive implement, and as the
result of their work secured four old can
mons, number of strips of iron, old
cannon balls. a cord or two of old oak
ship timbers, a few rust-eaten blocks
with fragments of rotten rope encrusted
in them with an accumulation of shells,
mud and rust, and a number of fire brick
or tile, which soon crumbled to dust
when exposed to the air. They became
discouraged and gave up the search.
Old Eugene Tiblier, father of the boy
who made the discovery, now has these
guns and other wreckage from the SUM-
ken ship, piled on the beach in front of
his home on the banks Of Bayou Port
age, opposite Fort Point on the north
side of the Back bay, and any one who
will go there may see for himself, and

The Durant News verv sensibly says
that one OF the causes for sending to the
large department stores in New York
and Chicago for many articles that
could be purchased just as cneaply at
home is because the home merchant
does not advise the public of his stock
and prices, while the northern depart
ment store spends thousands, aye, hun
dreds of thousands of dollars annually,
in order to take that trade from under

PATRONIZE HOME MERCHANTS

1t is pleasing to note that the State
press is crying down the practice OF
some people in patronizing the distant
mail order house, and is pointing out
many instances where the customers are
not only working an injury to the town,
but are themselves losing money by it.
A Gulfport paper recently noted the
fact that a citizen of that town ordered
at what he thought very low price !;
when the stove came it was just as rep
resented in the catalogue, but lacked
about one hundred pounds weighing the
same as the same size range in the local
hardware store which was selling for a
little more. And he was cured Of the
mail order habit,
The Galumbus Commercial has been
making little canvas along this line
and found four ladies who had lost alto
gether $3.50 on four dress patterns, by
ordering from mail order house instead
of patroniging local merchant. In one
instance lady had spent S14.OO with
the mail order house for dress pattern,
when local merchant could match the
goods and charged $500 for the pattern.
OF course, the lady was chagrined at
the discovery.
Not long since this editor, after ex=
pressing his views to a party of young
men on this subject, was presented by
one of them with a six-bit Sears and
Robuek shirt as substantial testimony
from his point Of view that the shirt
could not be duplicated in the city for
less than one dollar. We accepted the
shirt and made some comparisons, and
we found that our friend could have
saved his express charges by buying his
spring shirts in Laurel.
People should be reminded that the
progress of a town depends upon the
success OF each and every one OF Its citi-
zens; they should know that the local
merchant bears his share of the burdens
of taxation, the churches, the schools
and charity. But aside from this, YOU
are dealing with no "sight-unseen"
proposition in buying his goods, and
you get what you pay for,

LIVELY TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING AT THE PASS.
Coast Electric Railway Agitation-N.
o. Property Owners Before Board
Mayor and Council Properly Refuse
to Submit Matter-rr. Lang Sees no
Necessity for Such Action Two
Gas Franchises Granted.

Pass Christian, Miss, April 49,
There was another lively meeting of the
Council tonight, at which a COMMITTEES
of property holders appeared before the
body in opposition to the proposed Jones
electric line and presented plan to sub
NIT the entire subject matter to vote
of the people. This committee consisted
of J. A. Wellington, M. A. McGlathery
and B. M. Walmsley. They requested
Mayor Lang to submit the question as
to which route should be taken by the
line to vote of the same people who
decided the last municipal election
The Mayor replied that he had the best
legal advice that no such action could
be taken. In fact, there was no action
the Council could take which would
make the slightest difference on the
franchise as granted. Personally he
was opposed to any election, and saw no
necessity for it.
The gentlemen then asked to have the
Councilmen express their individual
opinions on the subject. In reply, AL
dermen A. P. Saucier, A. S. Mcdonald
and L. P. Sterier voted to sustain the
stand taken by the Mayor at the origi-
nal meeting. S. J. Saueier was the
only member of the Council who stood
with those opposed to the road.
The meeting was rather spirited, and
Mayor Lang, in his remarks, spoke of a
proposed secret meeting which was to
have been attended by two members of
the Council and three citizens, at which
the opposition to the road would gain
recruits. This was denied, and it was
up to the Council to make good. Ex-
Mayor Mcdonald called upon the Coun-
Gil to give their authority. Councilman
Saucier stated that Councilman McDon-
aid had stated that such meeting had
been arranged. Councilman Mcdonald
then stated that his information came
from Ex-Mayor Mcdonald, his brother.
The large crowd present turned loose
AOuAAN W oPpleeuNCs
The Committee then left the meeting,
and their next move Is question.
The editor of the new paper, Search
Light, was introduced to Mayor Lang,
before the meeting, and the Mayor told
the editor that information had reached
him that the Search Light would con-
duet campaign of villification against
the Administrative on account of the
stand they have taken On the electric
road franchise. He war; ed the editor
that such a campaign would mean
trouble and would not be tolerated for
an instant.
This incident and the lively meeting
which followed combined to make this
evening an eventful one:
The Council granted two franchises to
gas companies to erect plants in Pass
Christian and lay pipes through the
town. Gibson and Markey received one
franchise, and Spotswoed, Davis &
D'Alenbert, Northern company, was
given the other. This latter company
proposed to furnish Gulfport, Long
beach, Pass Christian and Bay st. Louis
with gas for ligh ting and cooking. Their
company will have a CAPITAL OF $3.50, 900.

| a month on the Gulf Coast of Missis
sippi, gives expression in an interview
published in the New Times -Democra
of April 6, 1905, to his opinion of tht

| speaks of the climate as ia commodit,
! which cannot be procured in any othel
part of this country and, so far as

world. 1t is very plentiful between New
Orleans and Mobile, and what cannot

other place in the world where such
climate can be found is in the South of
France and Spain. | have travelled a
great deal, and | know what l am talk
ing about. What cannot understand
is why you do not take advantage of it.
The North and East are full of people
who seek to avoid the rigorous winters
of their own section. They go to ST.
Augustine to bake and roast and almost
fry on the hot sands, or take long jour-
neys to California, when they would
come here if they knew what a glorious
Winter resort this is.
"Why, there should be 500 hotels be-
tween New Orleans and Mobile-hotels
which would accommodate 1000 guests
each, and built especially for Winter
resorters.

lands and offer inducements to factories,
but want to tell you that your climate
is worth as much as any of your indus
tries. It is something shat cannot be
purchased elsewhere by any millionaire.
A visitor does not have to live under
scorehing sun and then go back North
so enervated that he catches cold and is
sick for weeks. He doesn't have to
travel across the continent and then lose
all the good by a tireseme four days
journey back home. I have been over
this world a great deal in the last
twenty-five years, and l never found q
climate that surpasses this ef yours, and,
as I said, there is only one place in the
world that I know where it can be

of the old settlement as well.
The largest of the four cannons i
seven feet long and mas bore of abou
three and half inches. This gun i:
more corroded than the others, and i;
evidently of different metal, said to bt
OF Norwegian iron. The best preserved
specimen is about six feet long, has
nearly the same bore and bell or fun
mel shaped muzzle. The two smaller
weapons are each three feet, six inches
in length and have bore of three inch
es or thereabouts.
The cannon balls found were, some of
them. of much larger bore than any of
the guns yet found, and that, with other
things, leads Mr. Tiblier to believe that
only the upper deck of the vessel has
yet been explored, and that deeper
in the mud are buried guns of lager
bore, and possibly other articles of value
and interest. This opinion will soon be
verified or disproved, for by the time
this article appears in print the work of
exploration will be under way.
Up to this time absolutely no clue has
been found to Identify the vessel, and
none Of the records known to the writer
or the people along the coast who are
familiar with the few remaining chroni-
cles of d'Iberville's time and later peri
DDS, throw any light upon the subject.
One of the mysteries about the old yes
sci is the manner in which she could
have been sunk at such place. Had
she drawn more than eight feet of water,
it is very doubtful that she could have
entered the Back bay in the first place,
and had she been driven aground in a
storm, which is not probable, in such a
land-locked harhoF, she would have
struck much nearer the shore, in shall
lower water, as in a storm the water at
that point is always at least feet
deeper, unless the wind is from north
erly direction, in which event the YES
sci would have been in perfectly pro-
tected position.
True, she may have been one of the
pirate Lafitte's fleet, which he built and
armed as he could, and, from the varied
assortment of armament found, this
seems probable,
FREQUENTED BY SEEKERS.
The Back bay of Biloxi is known to
have been an old pirate stronghold, and
the search, ashore, for the pirates hid
den treasure goes on to this day. The
point of land a mile west of the Tiblier
place, on the bay, has been known for
generations as Treasure Point. On it
Professor S. M. Tracey, special agent
for the United States department of
agriculture, has his home, and he fire.
quently finds fresh excavations near his
residence, where the treasure hunters
have been at work.
There may be descendants of the old
pirates yet IN the neighborhood who
could throw some light on these sub
jects if they would talk, but they do not
take the stranger into their confidence.
They are reticent; like the old Choc-
taws, from whom they acquired many
similar traits by association in past
generations. What they know they
keep; probably adhering to the old
maxim of the portage; "Afaires cabri
pas z'affaires mouton.'' "(What con-

Germs the goat does not concern the
sheep"
One tradition with which all of the
residents "cross de bay" from Biloxi
are familiar, is the story that the pirate
buried rich treasure somewhere in that
neighborhood, and then killed the sail
ors who did the work, leaving their
spirits to guard the spot. The gold
may not yet have been found, but the
ghosts of the pirate sailors have often
been seen. Of this there is enough ver-
bal evidence extant to bewilder the most
skeptical modern mind.-David Holt, in

The Coast Destined to Great Future

From the Gulfport Record.
The esteemed Sea Coast Echo OF Bay
St. Louis has come out in favor of the
builders of the coast by sustaining the
Council of Pass Christian for having
granted the Mississippi Coast Traction
Company franchise to operate electric
cars oyer the streets of that town. The
Echo recognizes the fact that the Coast
of Mississippi is destined to a great fu-
ture, and that the time when handful
OF alien property holders can dictate
terms is gone, never to return.
