TREASURE
IN AN, OLD STOVE

Milton NJ. Detch, Goldfeld boost
er and attorney, once owned q
stove, a large kitchen range. He
bought it brand new three years
ago from James Crosby, who at
that time conducted a general mer-
chandise store here, and installed
it in a house owned by him in Euc-
lid avenue, next to the residence of
Attorney j. G. Thompson. Various
tenants used the stove but for some
reason it was relegated to the yard
in the rear of the house and SUBJ
jected to the ravages of The ele-
ments for q long time.
While out on an auto trip about
three months ago, Detch stopped
at he Cuprite rosdhouse, south of
Goldfield and in the curse of a
conversation with Jack Gibbons, the
proprietor, the latter happened to
mention the fact that his range had
worn out and he would be compel.
ed to buy u new one. The rem ark
Immediately brought to the mind
of the attorney the fact that he had
a stove going to ruin in the back
yard Of his Euclid avenue house
and he offered to give it to Glib
BINS.
Gibbons called at the house in
question less than sixty days ago
aud took the stove to his road
house. Mrs. Gibbons gave the new
acquisition a trial but found that
she could no no baking in the oven.
With the aid Of a small crowbar,
lGibbons began an investigation of
the stove Immediately below the
oven, thinking that SCOT had choked
it up. Gibbons brought to light a
large china plate then a l.burnt-out
incandescent electric light globe
and lastly a half pound baking
powder can containing eighteen $50
gold pieces.
Gibbons came into Goldfel
Monday and appraised Deteh Of the
treasure he had found in the stove.

The MEXICAN SITUATION

The situation in Mexico is clear
ly told in the following official
statement issued ny the admiDistra-
ton yesterday:
In DISCUSSIONS in official circles
in Washington of the present Mexi-
can situation, the following points
have been much dwelt upon:
1t has been pointed out that in
considering the present somewhat
delicate situation in Mexico the up-
pleasant incident at Tampico must
not be thought of alone. kor some
time past the de facto government
Of Mexico seemed tn think mere
apologies suffi rient when the rights
Of American citizens or the dignity
of the government of the United
States were involved and has appar-
emily made no attempt at either
%reparati0n or the effective correc-
ton of the serious d~erelections Of
its civil and military officers.
Immediately after the incident
at rampico an orderly from one of
the ships Of the United States in
the harbor of Vera Cruz, who had
been sent ashore to the postofice
for the ships mail and who was in
uniform and who had the official
mail bag en- his back, was arrested
and put into Jail by the local au-
thorities. He was subsequently re-
leased and a nominal punishment
inflicted on the officer who had ar
rested him, but it was 81 lniGcant
that an orderly fro Il the fleet Of
the United States was picked out
from the many persons constantly
going ashore IN various errapds,
from the various ships in the bar-
Dor representing several nations.
Most serious Of all, the officials
IN charge of the telegraph Office at
Mexicn presumed to withhold an
official dispatch Of the government
of the United States to its embassy
at Mexico City, until it should have
been sent to the censor and his
permission received to deliver 1t,
and gave the dispatch into the
hands of the charge d'affaire of the
United States only on his personal
and emphatic demand, he having in
the meantime learned through
other channels that a dispatch had
been sent him which lie had not
received.
1t cannot but strike anyone who
has watched the course of events
in Mexico as significant that unto
ward incidents such as these have
not occurred in any case where
representatives Of other govern
ments we're concerned but only in
! dealings with representatives Of
