TREASURE SEEKERS BACK FROM LAND
 OF UNKNOWN
Took Long Trip Into Mexlco, Hunting
 Yellow Metal
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Charlie Meadows and Line Rider Miles Archibald returned yesterday from northern Mexico, or rather what is known as the Gland of the Un- known," says the Yuma Sun.
 For years there has been a story handed down from one old-timer to another of a lost mission and untold thousands in gold bars in the Pin cate mountains about 150 miles, or perhaps 100 miles south of Yuma, and also of a lake which was said to exist in the middle of a barren desert waste, and fed by springs which spring from the desert itself.
 With a wagon and three good horses and plenty of water and pro- visions, the two mentioned above left Yuma with a full determination to penetrate that part of the desert lay ing between the Colorado river and the Pincate mountains.
 This is known on the map as the Great American Desert, and lays part ly in Mexico and partly in the Uni ted States.
 By the Indians of Old Mexico it is spoken of as the "Great Un- known"
 Many an explorer or intrepid pros peetor has seen it from afar, but no one, so far as known, has so much as penetrated the vast waste and return ed alive. It is a land of moving sand hills, mirages and reptiles.
 The object of the two Yuma ex- plorers was to locate, if possible, La guna Pietra, or Black Lake (mention- ed abOve) and to make that a head quarters from which to reach the Pincate mountains, and, if possible, locate the lost mission and is buried treasure.
 Many thousand dollars have been spent by Yuma parties in searching for this lost mission, and one party in Yuma is said to possess a map of the mission, showing where the treas ure is buried. This party has at various times sent out searching par ties but the vast expanse of desert between the lake and the mountains has so far proved impossible.
 After much privation and hardship, Messrs. Archibald and Meadows found the lake, fed from numerous springs, from a half mile wide to a mile long.
 Around the edge is a fertile border of luxuriant grasses and mesquite l trees, and hundreds of ducks are at | present making the lake their home
 Both the above gentlemen in start ing were inclined to treat the matter of hardships lightly, but both are now convinced that the party who reaches the Pineate mountains will have an extremely hard task.
 In returning to their water sup plies they were lost in the night and remained from camp altogether 2s hours without food, but did not suf- fer from lack of water
 The golden treasure still remains, f it exists, and perhaps some day tome one may be lucky enough to ind it.

NEW YORK, Nov. I2.-In no othe line of endeavOr are there swifter O.
 more complete changes than in tn,
 fighting game. It's down one day ant
 up the next-Or up and then down
 says Bob Edgren in the World.
 Jack Johnson, winning over s2O,OOC
 in a half hours fighting, IS pretty
 near the top of the pugilistic heap, fl nancially. He is recognized, too, as g legitimate contender with Jeffries fol the worlds championship.
 Yet, only a few years ago this same Jack Johnson "beat his way" into an arena out in San Francisco to see Jeffries fight Gus Ruhlin. Jeffries was champion of the world. Johnson was nobody. He was just a big, awk- ward negro who might earn a precious living doing odd jobs around a stable or pick up a couple of dollars now and then by boxing a preliminary in some third-class fighting club. No body knew him. He didn't have any qualities that would make him par ticularly well worth knowing. His present fistic skill was as yet unde- veloped.
 But Johnson wanted to see that lief fries -Ruhlin fight. He walked out to the Mission Athletic club early in the morning and sneaked into the arena with several other would-be free spec tators. Half a dozen of them crawled under the ring, hoping to remain hid den there until the arena filled with spectators. There Johnson lay for ten hours, only to be hauled out by a vigilant watehman when the arena was finally cleared just before the gates opened.
 Disappointed, but still hopeful, John son walked around the club and final y jumped over a fence and skipped into the inelosure again. He was grabbed and hustled toward the exit, explaining and protesting all the way. 'I'se de janitor," declared Jack. 'I'se Sam Pruitt, de janitor. I'se got to be in there to tend to ma ob."
 Just here a sporting man happened O come in. Johnson appealed to him. The sport liked a fight himself. He nay have beaten his way into fights limself in the old days. At any rate Ie "caught on" and recognized John on as Sam Pruitt. Johnson was urned loose and quickly made him elf as inconspieuous as possible. No 'ody else tried to throw him out nd he saw the fight.
 Johnson won't have to beat his way n next time he sees Jeffries fight. Ie II be escorted to the ring with all ceremony, and nobody will have a etter chance than Johnson to see effries in action. Times have eer- ainly changed.
