SEAS BURIED GOLD,

BOSTON, November Mot all the
tales OF vast treasures buried deep un.
der the sea are evolved in the minds
Of novelists. Robert Louis Stevenson
and dozen other writer's have made
such stories famous, but there have
been men, real men, who have profit
ed by secrets of buried gold, real gold.
In fact, some of the real stories of
lost and recovered treasure can give
points to romance and beat it with
ease.
The successful adventures of John
Phipps is case in point. Phipps,
who had been ships carpenter, to-
wards the end of the seventeenth
century, spent years trying to con-
vince various peers that there lay a
vast Spanish treasure under the sea
off Hispaniola. At last, the Duke CT
Albemarle lent him a ship, with the
result that, after a year of adventure
Phipps returned to England, bringtag
with him recovered treasure worth
81, 100000.
Phipps' welcome when he returned
to England with this freight resulted
through the influence of the Duke of
Albemarle. who shared his treasure,
in knighthood and an appointment as
governor of Massachusetts.
Ever since the time of Phipps, the
search for gold has gone on, How
ever, although centuries have passed
many a million still lies on the bot
tom of the ocean, and it may continue
there centuries longer.
Perhaps the most valuable sunker
/ treasure in the world is now lying al
/ the bottom of Vigo bay. The Spanish

their largest ships laden with treas
ure, the harvest of four years lootinl

infected with ticks, scabs and other contagious cattle diseases, will now be admitted into the restricted district of Texas, and may then be shipped to different parts of the United States to be grazed and slaughtered, subject, of course, to the United States quarantine laws, which requires the shippers to ship to quarantine pens only.
 EFFECTIVE WEDNESDAY.
 The order allowing the ticky cat tie to be brought in went into effect on Wednesday, and the movement of cattle through the quarantine ports is expected to increase materially, but it will have no effect upon the cattle importation business at El Paso, as this is not quarantine port.
 An interesting side light on the shrewd work of some cattle buyers is shown by MT. Pence. When it was known that the ticky cattle order would be issued, these buyers with autos at their disposal, made haste into the ticky districts of Mexico and bought up all of the cattle that were availa ble.
 FORESIGHT WILL PAY BUYERS.
 As there had been little or no market for these cattle, since the United States refused to allow them to be entered under any consideration, the cattlemen were able to buy them at prices which will make them comfortable for tunes when they are taken into the quarantine district of Texas and shipped from there to the other ports of the United States for slaughter. The throwing down of the bars against ticky cattle in the restricted district, MT. Pence says, will also cover the pasture lands of east Texas which have heretofore been empty, with graz ing stock from Mexico which are to be fattened for market.

Cattle Importation Checked.
[El Paso Herald.l

lAA o0S ASAAAN'l
 Thirty thousand cattle imported last year.
 00,000 cattle imported during past two months.
 This is where the shoe of Mex ican instruction pinches the com mercial big toe of our Uncle Samuel. These are the figures of Morris & Co.,, packers, who have large cattle interests in Mexico. These cattle were all imported through the Fl Psso custom house, were handled by the El Paso stockyards, and the money for their payment passed through the El Paso banks.
 REVOLUTION ENDS THE IMPORTS
 w. N. Pence, ranch manager for the Morris company, is here on business this week. He was here on his last trip to superintend im- portation of 30,0O0 cattle. This time there is not a single old longhorn coming across the border. All of which makes the price of the monday beefsteak higher, he ex- plains. The Mexico trouble has completely paralyzed the Mex ican imported cattle business at a time when it was at the height of it's prosperity. The cattlemen of the southwest have been crowded out by the nesters and have had to go to northern Mexico to find the open range where they could run their cattle. Now, with the rail- road lines cut and the country harassed by the presence of rowing insurrecto bands, the cattle busi- ness has practically been sup pressed.
 SLIGHT RELIEF PROMISED.
 The order permitting ticky cat tie to be imported into the quar- antine zone of Texas from Mexico will be a mild form of relief, MT. Pence explains, but it will not have any very great effect upon the cattle business of the south. west. These cattle, which are

turns to Burlington he will tell his
readers all about this expedition up
the Des Moines.
This is what two of our Ottumwa fish
ermen wanted to know a short time
ago. One OF them was threatened with
arrest if he landed his boat at GER
tain place along the shore, and the
other was told that he would be
pinched and made to pay fine if he
hooked any fish out of the stream. Not
securing the desired inform alton in OF
tUmwa as to who was in control of the
fish and boat landings, the two fisher
men wrote to the war department and
received an answer, to the effect. that
the Des Moines river is now classed
as navigable stream, and as such
Is under the absolute control Of the
government. That the fishermen could
land his boat anywhere along the
shores and that boats of certain
class must pay government tax and
be provided with safety appliances, as
on the Mississippi and other rivers.
With these Washington letters in
their pockets, our two fishermen now
boldly assert that neither the city of
Ottumwa nor the state of Iowa own
the shores, the river or the fish, and
further that when the spoilers come
around to pinch them they will find
them pretty we'll fixed with credentials
from the highest authority in the land.
AS additional evidence that the title
to the Des Moines river is in the gov
eminent. | incorporate the following
extract from letter received from Col.
Richie, United States engineer now in
charge of the survey:
Detroit Mich. March 20, 1911.
ANY dam or bridge built across the
Des Moines river without a permit
from the secretary of war would be an
illegal structure and would prove an
unwise investment Of capital.
IF you hear of any specific move
looking towards actual construction Of
such a dam or bridge I would be
obliged to you if you would notify me
promptly.
Yours respectfully,

other short packets between the diff

of Burlington will be in Ottumwa soon
to confer with our shippers in refer
ence to operating boat and two
barges on the Des Moines river this
season, starting the business after the
spring rains come and the river
reaches good boating stage. Captain
Gerber owns a large powerful gaso-
line boat, which will go under the
bridges and tow two loaded barges
up and down the river. Captain Franz

association to operate his Minnie
Schneider and two barges on the Des

with two propeller wheels, can 60 I'M

want the cheap water transportation,
they can secure two fleets of boats by
furnishing them the freight. The wa

would be one-third less than rail rate,
the same as the Mississippi river
Captain Wild and Gerber are veterans
in the steamboat business and can
