New Hunt for Kidd's Gold.

Waking or sleeping, the townsfolk
are dreaming of untold wealth since
w. B. Keighley announced his discov-
cry of a silver mine in the Maurice
river swamp. Rumors of its great rich
ness have travelled until men are to be
seen coming into town with prospecting
outfits such as they have read the
"Frorty-niners" used. Others have more
elaborate parapherna1ia with which to
do their part of the mining. Many
have come with no equipment, intend
ing to purchase whatever they decided
they would need for the work or get
ting the silver from the swampland. II
has been learned, however, that Her
bert Perrigo and William Lewis founo
the 6x6 foot wooden shaft in the mud
long before Keighley made his discov-
ery. They say they found an iron box
at the bottom Of the shaft by means OF
long poles on which they had fastened
hooks They attempted to raise the
box with the poles and hooks. but were
unable to do SO.
The story that an iron box is at the
bottom Of the shaft is carried out by 9
tradition which is recalled to the MIND
OF a native Jerseyman by the tale OF
Perrfgo and Lewis. The native asserts
the box contains one of the many parts
of Capt. Kids buried treasure. He
recollects that an old riverman TOTO
him that q story was current IN tne
riverman's boyhood that four strangers
in a boat seemed surprised ana an
moved by the appearance of party OF
rivernen going down stream on a raLt
of logs as they passed near here. IL
was reported the strangers mad MO
treasure in the swamp and that one OF
them built a. cabin near the spot where
the shaft has recently been found IN
the swamp.-New York Press.
