FIND $4,000 GOLD IN CAMP
Up Under Saloon Of the
OIden Days.

Prescott, Ariz. = From Ehrenberg
has come q tale Of three mysterious
strangers who came by automobile
from California, for q few days dug
around in the ruins Of the deserted
camp Of La Paz and who left with
100000 found under floor of sa-
loon Of the olden days, conducted by
Portuguese, Francisco Rabana.
OF the digging there seems no
doubt, however much attaches to the
..umor of treasure found. There have
been many such explorations in the
past Of ruins of the old camp, where
millions of dollars worth of gold dust
was handled about sixty years ago.
