SEARCH FOR BURIED l TREASURE NEW STUNT
Will Digging Result in Finding Velen-
 zela's Hoard?

It is claimed that the famous Velen- Zela treasure has been found.
 Thirty years ago VelenZela, a notor- ious Mexican outlaw, was terroriZing , Northern Arizona and his escapades
 eliminated in the famous Gribble murder at Vulture. At that time 1t was the popular idea that he had cached a vast amount of treasure in various sections of the state and for a long time searching parties secured the country looking for the booty he was supposed to have hidden.
 It has been claimed that a large part of it was recovered and from time to time stories of finding addi- tional loot come in. Within the past few weeks discoveries have been made that lead to the belief that a part of this great store of loot and the arms which he was known to have been
 carrying at the time of the Vulture
 murder, were buried within q couple of miles of what is now the center of
 the city of Phoenix.
 During the excavations for what is now one of the most frequentel places about the city, number Of old knives, some money of ancient date and a silver mounted cap and ball
 pistol were found and the old timers to whom they have been shown are firmly of the belief that they are
 part of the VelenZela treasure. The old cap and ball pistol is one of the finest specimens that have been
 seen in years and is in remarkable state of preservation, while the gold
 coin is pretty well worn. Among a number of knives is one made of
 wood such as the Mexicans used in those days and it is supposed that this belonged to one of the three fol- lowers of VelenZela
 It is understood that an expedition is now being equipped thoroughly to search the place and recover as much of the treasure as may remain. Whether or not this is true it is a fact that on Sunday next there will
 be hunt for hidden treasure such as Phoenix has not known since the palmy days gone by.
 Spurred on by lhe belief that some where in the forty acres owned by them the VelenZela treasure lies, the
 management of Riverside park has de-
 cided to give it's patrons an oppor- I tunity to find real treasure hidden in the sands of the beach that bOrdels s it's great swimming pool.
 Sometime between the closing of the park on Saturday night and its open ing on Sunday morning They will bury GAP articles of value, including five dollar gold pieces, silver half dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies, gate, dance and bath tickets and a season ticket for the park and baths, of a total value between sev-
 enty and $10O, for which the Sunday patrons of the park may dig and keep what they find.
 This novel scheme will furnish not only a great deal of amusement but a
 whole lot of profit to the treasure seekers. The beach will be roped off and at an hour to be decided on it will be thrown open to every person in bathing suit Everybody will
 have an equal chance of securing the treasure and there are no strings at
 tached to any of it. He who finds may keep, and all that is necessary to make the finding easy is good pair of hands for screening the sand.
 Shovels and sieves will be barred

To Mark Route

St. Joseph, Mo.-A white
mountain on a maroon background
with the wording, Pixies Peak Ocean

adopted for the official marker of
this road association at a meeting
of the board of directors held at St.
Joseph on June &c. The marker
will be 12X16 and will be placed at
both entrances to towns along the
route and also at intervals of every
five miles or less. In addition, road
directions will be indicated by a
complete system of pole marking
Red aud white bands, each ten
inches in width. will be placed on
four poles at each turn and at such
other places along the route as they
may be needed. Danger signs, with
red lettering on white background
also were adopted. The actual work
of marking will be taken up by the
respective state divisions and will
be pushed to early completion.
That portion of the road between
Springfield, ILL.,, through St. Joseph
and Colorado Springs to Salt Lake
City, Utah, will be first marked,
and as soon as arrangements can
be perfected with eastern and west
ern connections the road will be
completely marked from ocean to
ocean.
1t is also planned by this associa-
ton to establish headquarters for
touring information at points along
the route and every effort will be
made to see that travellers receive
accurate information and personal

Interesting Tale of Dollar Bill.

This article, The Tale of Dollar
BILL" from a monthly bulletin of a
baking powder company, will inter-
est Monroe merchants and ought to
impress upon the people generally
the importance of trading at home;
A farmer went to town to spend
Some of his hard-ea rned dough,
And in a merry jest, and just
To show his printing skill,
He printed his initials on
A brand new dollar bill.
He spent that dollar that same day,
Down in the village store;
He thought twas gone forever
then
And he'd see it no more.
But long before the year rolled by
One day he went to fill
A neighbours order, and received
That same one-dollar bill.
Once more he spent that dollar bill
In his own neighborhood,
Where it would do himself and
friends
The most amount OF good.
Four times in two years it came
back
AS some bad pennies will,
And each time he'd 60 out ard
spend
This marked one-dollar bill.
Had he been wise that dollar
might
Be in town today;
But just two years ago
He sent it far away.
The people who received it then
l know have got it still,
For twas to a mail order house
He sent his dollar bill.
No more will that marked dollar
Come into the farmers hands,
And nevermore will it help to pay
The taxes on his lands.
He put it where it never can
Its work in life fulfill;
He brought about the living death
Of that one-dollar bill
