BURIED
PLUMBER in
COLORADO
Treasure Is Unearthed In Old
Shaft by Some Pros
pect0rS

Fairplay (COlo.) special to Denver
Post: Buried plumber aggregating in
value $4,000 was uncovered by two
prospectors, Sullivan Davis and Holmes
Robbins, in an abandoned shaft about
three miles from town on the Horseshoe
road The treasure is for the most
part in golddust, although some is
paper money.
about their find and have little to say
concerning their good fortune. They
had been employed in a mine at Horse
shoe, but had obtained a copy of map
purporting to show where the treasure
was hidden in some manner and at
once commenced the search for it Six
weeks of ceaseless work was finally re-
warded by success. A hole was found
that answered the description and two
days later, after removing the snow,
ice and debris, three large cans were
uncovered that contained the gold.
The men kept their find secret for
while, but their finances were very
low and the necessity for obtaining
fund, at once led them to attempt TO
pass some of the paper money. A local
merchant, L. Cohen, supposed it to be
counterfeit and threatened prosecution,
and the men exhibited their find and
freed themselves from suspicion.
The treasure was undoubtedly buried
by the Reynolds gang of outlaws,
gang of bushwhacking confederates
that infested this county in the fall Of
1863. A succession of robberies culmi-
mated in the holdup of stage coach at
Elkhorn ranch, near what is now the
town of Como. The indignant residents
rose up in protest and organized two
posses to run them down. The outlaws,
eleven in number, were headed off at
the head of Geneva gulch and battle
ensued, during the progress of which
all but two of the robbers were killed
or captured.

nell and Jim Reynolds, the leader of
the gang. Reynolds died soon after
Bunnell fled In this direction and Is
supposed to have cached the treasure
Afraid to come back TO the scene OF
his crime he drew hap of the locality
where the treasure was hidden from
memory and sent it to Hank Seymour
a cousin of his who lived at Fairplay
Seymour was unable to find the shaft
where the dust was buried, but copy
of the map led to its discovery, thus
substantiating the story told by De
tective Dave Cook of Denver In his
Hands Up,n a narrative of early day
outlawry which he had hand in sup
pressing Reynolds hid his share Of the
money, some 1000, between Geneva
gulch and Deer creek, for which local
ity Me.srs. Davis and Robbins have
started. They have strong hopes OF
finding the balance Of the treasure. Th'
Deer creek treasure is according e
Dave Cooks story, buried under the
edge of a peculiarly shaped rock. whiel

steel products industry Is no better to-day.
In sheet steel, tin plates, wire, wire nails
fencing and tool steel business Is fairly good
In the building trades the outlook for struo-
tural steel Is not encouraging. Several strio-
tural steel mills are getting well toward the
middle OF the work for contracts booked
last year, and see little new business In sight.
The same Is the case with the steel pipe in
dustry: lots Of work under old specifications,
but not much new business Offering. As the

market sense the situation, II discloses a
general slowing down all around.
In Europe the steel trades are affected by
the copditions that have brought about
streaks of calm In the home trade channels.
In England and Scotland the reactlonary
tendency in the steel trades is marked. All
steel mills report a lull in trade, and an aloof-

IRON AND STEEL.
quiet Markets for All Grades Of Pig Iron
Light Demands for Steel Products.

The past week began with a moderate
Improvement in sales OF foundry iron and
with several large sales of basic and Bessemer
iron to the United States Steel Corporation.
From Wednesday onward trading in all
grades OF pig iron diminished. Friday and
.sssS,t In this vicinity we're accounted the
FULLEST days In the market since the dull
period Of last May. The gathering at Hart
ford last week Of a large number Of foundry
men In trade convention was made the most
OF by representatives of pig iron producers.
Little business resulted. Nearly all the foun-
drymen reported good trade conditions for
the Immediate market. but did not anticipate
anything beyond a fair amount of business
throug h the summer. substantially Identical
views Of the situation are held by the majority
OF iron meters East and West. There is a
feeling abroad that after the existing con-
tracts for heavy machinery shall have been
completed there will not be enough new bust
ness offering TO operate steam engine, mining
machinery and agricultural implement fac
tories to the full capacity OF the larger works.

The above picture was taken at Uncle Sam refinery at Cherry
vale, Kas., the next day after the lying report was sent out from
the capital Of Kansas by certain oil trust hirelings that all the
oil shipped In Kansas by independent rehneries was shipped
In barrels and tin cans and pound packages. One railroad
traffic man made a big spiel about the Unjust part Of the Kansas
maximum freight rate law at the same time. Now, we will give
this wise guy expert one hundred dollars in gold for every pound
can his road Of any railroad in Kansas ever carried for the Uncle
Sam refinery. and the Uncle Sam company ships two times as
much oil as all the other independent refneries in Kansas. We

Quiet conditions govern the domestic steel
markets 80 far as heavy products are con-
cerned. The buying factor OF prime i'm
p~ortance to the larger steel making corpora
tons is from the railroad interest. At present
the prospect for active buying for steam rail-
road account is not encouraging. Few
domestic railroads are at the highest stand
ards OF efficiency as to tracks and rolling
stock. The long delays Of freight trains
and the numerous accidents thereto are
almost altogether due to the unwisdom OF
the arrangements which term neglect in the
upkeep Of the lines rigid economy" Some
im-)rtant railroads which are holding of
from buying are those which are trying TO
do business with rolling stock most OF which

to traffic agent, when he was trying to deceive the press and
the people, did not take time to tell only half the truth. He did
explain that under the Kansas maximum freight rate law the
railroads secure about forty $4,000 a car hauling oil from Cherry
vale TO Kansas City, kas, and same rate TO other distances,
and that this is from 10 to 80 per cent. more than rates charged
by the roads themselves on several other kinds of material.
Railrond men who acknowledge the truth know there is money
