HARGRUDER IS
HUNTING FOR La
fITTE'S GOLD.
Exist. Landrian Believes that
the Pirate Buried A For-
tune Estimated Ut
$50. 900, 900.

Capt. VIM. Hargrnder is
weII-knoWn in 0pelOusas and
st. Landry. He was q citizen
Of the parish, and of this city,
for a number OF years. He has
on several occasions told the
Clarion man that he would some
day find Lafitte's goid.l
Orange, Texas, May 28.-The peo-
pie Of Orange are greatly interested
in the search that is now being made
upon the banks Of White Lake, over
in Louisiana, for the treasure Of Jean
Laftte, supposed to have been buried
there. This pirates gold is estimated
by Capt. VIM. Hargruder Of Church
Point, La, who is in charge Of the
expedition that is now making the
search, to amount to S32.000,000.
Capt. Hargruder is 50 years old
and has been searching for this La
ftte treasure for many years This
Is the third expedition he has led to
White Lake. There are about a doz-
en- men in the present party, and
they are equipped to make a thorough
search Of all likely places adjacent
to the lake where it is thought likely
that the willy pirate may have Sc
GREETED his treasure. II is claimed
by Capt. Hargruder that Laftte
brought this enormous wealth to the
Louisiana Coast not a great while be-
fore his death, and that he sailed
with it up the Mermentau River tc
White Lake, where he spent severaI
weeks, and, after burying the treas.
ure, he went to Galveston Island and
thence across the Gulf Of Mexico
What purports to be an ancient char
showing the location Of the burie6
wealth IS IN the possession of Capt
Hargruder.

King Edward was 8 baby then.
Theodore Roosevelt had not been
born. How many millions have lived
and loved and welded and borne
children and seen them become men
and women and then passed ont into
eternity, their life work done, since
that soft june evening ID the Gene
see valley? Seventy Junes have fol-
lowed, and yet you hear these two
tell with their own lips Of that star
blessed evening, and see them sitting
before you, side By side. smiling with
happiness, because, 50 long ago, she
said yes
7 whispered it, she explains,
almost blushingly.
What 8 potent whisper, to cover
70 years!
But their love affair was longer
than 20 years.
T was nineteen when he proposed
to me" she says. But ] loved him
when be thought | was only d little
girl. He was four years older than
I, and | thought him very smart"
Mother"
Well, when was fifteen years old
we'd known each other ever since
we were born-I knew / loved him.
That was in 1885.
Halley's comet swung BY US in that
year. Now it is back again, and she
still loves him. There's a wonder Of
love for you---a love that lasts through
the cycle Of a comet!
Yes" she goes on, T used to sit
in church and look at the back Of
James head more than | did at the
preachers face. And | used TO worry
about It. too
She needn't have worried you
hear him say. T had my eye set on
her when she was only about twelve
years old
That was back il 1882.
And in these days Of one divorce in
twelve marriages folks say love doesn't
last.
You ask them whether it does last.
You sort Of feel that they have .
right to be heard BY all the world on
that question.
1t lasts through thick and thin,'
he says.
why, then, do we have 50 many
divorces these days.

ALASKA MINERAL OUTPUT
FOR 1909 rs 500, 10000

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The value
of the mineral output of Alaska for
1909 was $40, 200, 900, or practically the
same as that of 1908, according to a re-
port of the United States geological
survey. OF this total $~19,460,o0o was
gold. The production of copper was
$4,000. Silver, coal, marble, gs.y asnm
and other minerals were about th' same
in production as the year previous.
Alaska has produced since 1856, when
mining first began, $16S, 100000, OF
which all except 100000 nave been
gold.
Coal fields are an important factor IN
Alaska. The report says that, II oppof
tunity is given to mine coal, RAILWAY
facilities for its transportation VIII be
rushed to completion.
