Salvage Crew Successful in
Raising Man-of-War.
Vessel Sunk In 1899 Carried Gold
Treasure Estimated at s5,ooo,ooo
Two Quaint Old cannons and
Some Balls Recovered.

Tepschelling, Holland.-The search
for s5,000,O00 sunken treasure pc
ieyed to be aboard the old BRUSH
man-of-War Lutine, which was wrecked
in 1899 while on a voyage from var.
mouth to Hamburg, gets closer ahu
closer to success every day now.
Bit by bit the old wreck mas Deen
uncovered, the National Salvage as
sociation's ship Lyons great vacuum
pump having worked wonders in clear
ing away the masses OF sand en-
bedding her. Now she is practically
clear on the starboard side.
The port side still remains more or
less covered-the Lutine must have
heeled over to port when she went
down, or else the water gradually
urged her over that way-but the
great pump should make little OF the
work Of clearance.
When this is done, the exciting and
romantic task of locating and bring
ing up the bullion which has so long
lain on the sea bottom will begin.
Any day now, so the divers engaged
on the wreck say, the sand may be
cleared and the first real haul OF
coins brought up.
Already, although no appreciate
amount OF the wealth borne on her
last voyage by the old Lutine has yet
been brought to the surface, single
coins, many silver ones, have been
found. Altogether, roughly, handful
Of silver has been recoyered.
And coins are all That the wreck
has yielded. The Lutine's anchor. a
big crusted iron thing, eighteen by
eighteen feet, with the ships name
engraved upon 1t, is now on the
lighter lying over the wreck, and two
quaint old cannons and some old
fashioned cannon balls have also been
found.
The anchor, which weighs about
three tons, is in a remarkable state OF
preservation, as is another anchor
brought up.
One cannon, was loaded almost to
the muzzle. The task Of taking the
charge out occupied man practically
a whole morning. Everything about
1t is really wonderfully preserved;
even the cord and the flintlock ap-
paratus is INTACT.
The longer the weather remains
fine the greater the chance Of the
gold being found soon. In fine,
smooth weather the divers can work
uninterruptedly, but on stormy days
all are forced to he idle.
The gold is in bars, and each Is be-
lieved to be worth over $4,000.

TELEPHONE POLES OF CACTUS
Arizona Government Is Planning to
Make Good Use Of the Giant
Sahuara.

Sahuara for telephone and tele-
graph poles is the latest idea and one
that is to be tried out. It sounds
plausible and it is believed that it
will be more economical than the old
style of poles. It's test is to come
from Tucson.
The government is to build a tele-
phone system for the forestry service
of the Coronado forest. reserve. The
first of these lines to be built out of
Tucson is to be used into the Cata-
linas, and it is there that the sahuara
experiment is to be tried.
Where they can be found in what
approaches alignment. so that the
line will not have a zig-zag too much,
the sahuara up in the. canons through
which the line will pass are to be
utilized for the purpose Of attaching
brackets to which the wires will be
fastened. And so the secret is out.
Along the proposed line it is diff
11cult to set poles, owing to the rocky
nature of the country %traversed. Not
only is this the case, but it is diff
ficult to get the poles up there in the
hills to set. while the sahuaras are
right there in many instances, and
while not at a uniform distance this
Is not considered important.

or II you have a red cedar chest it is
possible that the wood a%ntedates the
history of this country by thousands

A Cleveland man is credited with
bringing the first red cedar into this

several years ago, was attracted by the
red cedar forests at Port AnGelus.

and began shipping the cedar to the
eastern market. Formerly the south

1t is a most durable wood and its
use in a home guarantees that moths

for chests in which to store furs and,
clothing. Mr.. Geist exhibits a quantity
of red cedar cut from a tree he esti-
mates to be at least 300 years Of age.
Three large cedars were found growing
from a fallen log which was five and
one-half feet in diameter. The largestI
of the three trees growing from the|
fallen tree was ten and one-half feet I'M
