SEEK LOST TREASURE.
Hunt is Started For 100000 Buried
on Mexican Coast.

There is much interest taken here
in the effort that is now being made
by syndicate of Americans TO re-
cover the tr, assure that is said 10 lie
in the hold of the American vessel
Golden Gate. sunk just on the coast
OF Mexico about 50 miles southeast OF
here Reports from the scene Of op
erations are received here almost
daily. Although the vessel was
beached in a terrific storm in 1861. its
position in the water has not changed
The masts are still visible.
The vessel is said TO have carried
about $4,000 900 in gold This treas
ure was being transferred from San
Francisco To New York. The owners
of the vessel began 10 recover the gold
soon after the wreck. and in lSC2 J..
n. Johnston recovered gold bullion to
the amount of 100000. Several in
efectual efforts were made in the
years that followed TO find the bal
ance. but the owners finally gave W
the task
Several years ago c. w. Johnston
of San Francisco. fitted out an eNpe
dition To again seek the recovery of
the fortune Ii is said that he had re
ceived minute description OF the plans
OF the interior Of the vessel from his
brother. who was in charge of the ex-
petition for the owners when $500 600
was recovered This latter effort was
also unsuccessful.
II was through Mr.. Johnston that
the present expedition was organized.
A vessel has just arrived here from
san Francisco. having on board II. +.
Richardson. Of Philadelphia, J. +. Phil
lips. of Denver. Colo, and ;. +. Phil
lips. Of Danville. III. They are mem
beers Of the syndicate who are financ-
ing the operations under the direc-
tion OF c. W. Johnston. The expedi-
tion is well equipped.
The sunken vessel lies within few
hundred Yards Of shore. and as pre-
paratory step a temporary pier Is be
ing built from the shore TO the vessel.
II will take several weeks To com
plete this work. The difficulties that
have prevented the success of former
expeditions have been that the hold
of the vessel is SLED with sand. Gov
ering the gold bullion and a large
iron safe. which is known TO contain
sG5. 600 in gold coins The bullion is
stored in boxes.
The present expedition is equipped
with powerful centrifugal sand
pump. which will re placed upon the
temporary pier. II is believed that
with this pump the hold and interior
7 parts Of the vessel can be quickly
( cleared Of sand. and that expert
divers will then be able 10 locate the
treasure. Machinery has been taken
70 the spot for use in hosting the
treasure boxes and the safe 10 the
surface when they are found. Up g
\ this time more than $4,000 has been
expended by the present treasure
hunters.
In the event tho treasure is recover
ed. 10 per cent Of the amount viii
have 10 be paid 10 the Mexican gov
eminent. under the law relating e
the discovery OF hidden treasure. II
IS stated that the syndicate has oh
tanned clear title 10 whichever ~
value they may recover. from tho
heirs Of the original owners of the
wrecked vessel.
