Lurcd by stories of fabulous wealth
to he gained in the mountains back of
Panama, ~ T.. Jensen, II former sea
farcr, and his wife, residents of this
city, jOurncycd to the little republic
only to encounter great hardships and
suffer the loss of a large share of their
savings. They returned to San Fran

fee plantation and home had been de-
stroyed by fire, and when conditions in
the mountains assumed serious proper
tiuns, says the s. f. Bulletin.
Jensen and his wife journeyed over
u dangerous mountain trail thirty-twO
miles In length to n place called 30
qu"tto, in the Chiriqui Province. The
land selected for the plantation was
1000 feet high and has suffered from
several months of dry weather
Six weeks ago fire destroyed $500
coffee trees, including the homes Of
twelve American settlers. When the
fire was first discovered the Alcalde
was appealed to, but refused aid.
Feast Before Fire.
1T was during feast day" said Jcn-
was of small import as compared with
the reign of gayety which he had in
augurated. He told us he would not
think Of spelling the feasting by or
dering his people to join in lighting u
fire
q" IF you can persuade them to go, all
well and good he said, but | shall not
attempt to tell Them"
The result was that the American
settlers. lost everything Mrs. Jensen,
who was III at the time, had to he as
sisted from her home before the flames
reached ii, ana later was carried back
over the mountain trail ON Il horse.
She was still suffering from her eX-
p"ri"nces when the Para came into
port today.
Fires have also occurred recently al
David and NeCoquetcr, and great loss
has been entailed 10y the natives A
Panama woman and her child were
burned to death In the nres at Noco-
quotcr and a number Of cattle killed.
At David the pastures were destroyed
by the llumes, and the people have
been living ON short rations of beans
and rice for weeks. Conditions will be
more serious next season, and Jensen
said that many We're leaving these
places
Land sharks We're responsible for
bringing people into Panama, said Jen-
sen, and then dcceiving them with tales
Of fortunes to be gained in the noun
tains. OF late the government officials
have been attempting to put stop to
their operations
