.FlNO GOLD IN HIDDEN TOWN
Wealth, Buried by Old Residents and
Long Sought, Believed to Have
Been Located.

Been Located.
Blythe, Cal-Three strangers came
into Blythe in an automobile. They re-
mained here day and the next morn
ing they crossed the river at Ehren-
berg ferry. Since that time reports
have reached here that they went di.
rectly to the old town of La Paz, ten
miles northwest of Blythe on the op-
posite of the Colorado River, and after
a search there in the ruins of an old
adobe building, succeeded in uncov-
ering and carrying away gold to the
amount of 100000.
That the men went to La Paz, and
did considerable eXcavating inside the
old ruins and that they claimed to
have found 5000 0 has been verified.
The fact that the old building in which
they dug was the principal store and
saloon of the town in the early and
palmy days of La Paz gives credence
to the report of the wealth the three
men found.
The saloon was owned and conduc.
| ted by one Francisco Rabana, a Por.
| tuguese.
| Raban, in addition to conducting a
general store and saloon, was the prin.
| cipal buyer of gold dust in La Paz,
| gold dust being the common medium
Of exchange in the camp in those days.
One day while at the Goodman mine,
| which he owned, Rabana received seri-

covered and in few days died.
Rabana had no family, his wife hav-
ing died previously, aor any very in
| innate friends. 1t was generally
known that he had much gold dust
stored about the place, as that was the
only way he had to keep it. there be.

slow. People had seen this gold in
Rabana's possession, which he kept in
sacks, dishes, and cans.
However, when Rabana died the
| only thing found on his person or
| about the premises was a deposit
check in a foreign bank for a small
amount of money. No cash or gold
dust of any considerable amount
| could be found.
The fact that no gold was found on
the Rabana premises led to numer
| Gus efforts on the part Of many to
search for the lost treasure.
Like all things of this nature, the
| fever became contagious, and men
have spent years, looking and digging
for Rabana's gold, which. 30 far as
known, was never found.
After the Government had declared
La Paz to be located on an Indian
| reservation, and the inhabitants were
forced to move off, many man re
turned and dug in the old town, look
ing for lost treasure, and in this way
the earth about the old Rabana house
has been turned over many times.
One hole excavated by the last par
ty was dug to depth Of about twelve
feet, where water was encountered
An old resident of La Paz tells thai
Rabana had a well at that point tc
furnish water for the store and saloon
Gold was first discovered in La Pa;
wash in the "fifties." Government an(
private records show that more thar
$4,000, 900 were taken out during the
life of the camp. The gold came prin
cipally from placers. and nuggets wer.
frequently found valued at more thar
500 each.

.SENORA HUERTA
AND SONS FLEE
RyMORS THAT GERMAN SHIP
YPlRANGA is CARRYING HER
ABROAD MYSTERY.

Vera Cruz. June 2.-Coincident with
the sal ing of the Hamburg American
steamer Ypiranga from here late TO-
day, persistent rumors originating in
Mexico City and brought here by ref
ugees. were circulated that Sonora
Huerta ana her fom sons We're aboard
the ship. The Ypiranga cleared for
Europe by way of Havana. AS she
left the harbor the German cruiser
Dresden Unexpectedly hauled up her
anchor and followed to sea.
A similar report of more vague
nature was in circulation Saturday
but this the ships officers and agents
denied. There was an element of
mystery, however, in eight locked
staterooms.
According TO these reports in Mex
ico City, Sonora Huerta and her sons
went to Puerto Mexico several days
ago on a special train escorted by
palace guards. They boarded the
Ypiranga there and remained in Sc
clusion during the steamers stay in
this port
General Funston said that this
might be possible, as no attempt had
been made to ascertain who was
aboard the steamer 1t was reported
also from the capital that Sonora HUI
erta drew 100000 pesos from the
bank before she started.
Still another report from the cap
ital had it that President Huerta him
self had left for Puerto Mexico sew
eral days ago in a sleeping car will
trainloads of the Twenty-ninth infan
try ahead and behind. Refugees de
clare that they passed a train of this
nature this morning on the way from
Mexico City and noted that more
than SOC soldiers of the Twenty-rintl
infantry were aboard.
These reports are generally dis
credited here, but are viewed as show
ing a general belief in the capita
that Huerta may secretly depart a
any moment.

MORE "DRYs"; MORE BEER.
Tax Figures Show Increased use
With Spread of Temperance.

Jefferson City Mo, June 2.|There
is a marked disproportion between the
growth of "dsy" territory in Missouri
and the continued and marked in
crease of beer consumed in the state
The explanation is left for those who
can figure it out. That the consump-
ton of beer is constantly increasing
while the dry" territory is steadily
widening, is borne out by facts and
figures.
In 1906 there were thtirty-one dry
counties in Missouri. That number is
nearly trebled now. In 1906 the rec
ords in the office of State Beer In
spector Speed Mosby showed taxes
collected on beer consumed in the
state was $4O2, ,O62.41. Last year thf
tax on beer was $500,O45.49.
In other words, with thirty-on to
tally dry" counties in the state II
1906 the beer tax was nearly 100000
less than in 1913 whe nractical!'
three times as many counties were
dry"
