Standard oil company enjoys in the

for anything that looks like opposition
that has enabled ii TO consume so
many rivals in this country. Bishop
Spreng was in China for about three
months and during that time visited
missions in out of the way parts OF the
FloWery Kingdom.
Wherever he went, he said. he found
cigarettes made by the tobacco trust,
and Standard oil On one trip. which
took him far UP the Yuan river, he

SAILS FOR TREASURE
AND MEETS TYPHOON
Captain Brown Back From AM
tipodeS With Sorry Tale

With no treasure trove but with a
hard luck story of a typhoon, a reef
and shipwreck, Captain James Brown.
who claims that he is the only man in
the world who knows where to find
the Cocos island cache of 0,Oe0, 600,
returned from the antipodes Sunday.
Despite the reverse which he suffered
Captain Brown is undismayed and de-
clares that he will soon set out again
for the mysterious isiand in the South
Seas, where the Peruvian treasure is
buried.
Captain Brown left this city Febru-
ary and arrived in Sydney March /.
There he bought the % ton schooner
LIE Matin, shipped a crew of four men,
acquired a diving machine for pearl
fishing and started for the South Sea
islands March g..
Two days later the schooner ran into
a typhoon and next day was pitched
on a reef at Port Boisy on the north
western coast Of New Caledonia The
schooner was a total wreck but Cap
tain Brown and his crew were rescued
by the French mail steamer Pacifique
and taken to Sydney. Captain Brown
left Sydney for Vancouver March IL
ana arrived III LnlS CITY SUNDAY,
"It was hard luck" said the adven-
turous old captain yesterday, in de-
scribing his mishap, but am used
to the ups and downs of salt water.
and of course / shall try again"
According to the strange story which
Captain Brown tells. he is the only
man living who knows where the
much sought for Cocos island treasure
may be found
In 1850, the captain tells, he met
Captain Henry Smith of the schooner
Sea Foam in Jamaica. He went aboard
as chief mate, and the vessel started
out, ostensibly for the pearl fisheries.
but, in reality, as Captain Smith con-
fded to him, to recover the great Cocos
treasure.
Captain Smith told Brown that his
father had buried the great Peruvian
booty, consisting of gold bullion. dia-
monds. gold dollars and silver bars, to
the value of s60,000.000 in Cocos island
and that 1t was his purpose to trans
fer 1t for safety to another island Of
the South Sea group This project
was accomplished, but through a series
of mishaps all aboard the Sea. Foam
died, with the exception OF Brown. the
chief mate. That is how it happened:
Captain Brown explains, that he alone
knows where the Cocos island treasu,..
now lies hidden.
Captain Brown was formerlv a resi-
dent OF Providence, r. l.. where his
family now lives. He has made his
headquarters in this city as a convent :
ent point of departure for his treasure
hunting expedition. 1t will not be
long, Captain Brown intimates. before
he sets forth once more.
