sufficient intrinsic value to make it useless for
anyone to make counterfeits out of the pure
metal Mowers searched for another week, but
found more coins. He then showed the re-
suit of his labor to neighbors and to some people

where he had discovered the treasure. Shortly
afterward, however, offered him 500 for
the secret and though Mowers told him that
the place was probably worked out the man Of

where the coins had been picked up became gen.
orally known and the people focked to the bluff
and to the beach marking the site of the lost
town. They dug, searched and prospected with
all the ardor of Klondikers, but the sole result
was gold piece of the value OF $3.50, which

has ever been able to account for the presence
of the money in the place. The theory that 1t
WAS left behind by departing resident OF st.

people of that place were not rich enough to
make them careless OF valuables.
