French advanced today. the British TO a
depth OF from two to eight miles. the

FIND REAL TREASURE ISLANDS
A Few Seekers After Hidden Gold
Have Met With
Success.

There are quite number Of
islands scattered about the globe
whereon buried treasure exists. And
people are always trying to find it.
Quite score of attempts have been
made, for instance, to unearth the
treasure alleged to be buried on Co
cos island. Yet so far the adven-
turers have reaped no reward for
their toll. Fully 100000 has been
wasted, again, in futile attempts to
recover the pirates hoard" report
ed to be hidden near the lip Of the
crater Of an active-very active
volcano on Pagan island, in the La
drone group.
Still, as a setoff against many fail
ures, there have been some few sue
cesses, remarks London Tit-Bits.
There is no doubt, for instance, that
Liverpool sailor named John
Adams unearthed treasure to the
value Of between e150,O00 and f2OO,-
600 on Auckland island some years
back; nor that William Watson, a
shepherd, recovered in 1868 nearly a
ton of gold that had been hidden on
one Of the Queen Charlotte islands.
Likewise, two runaway seamen,
named Handley and Cross, success
fully located and dug up valuable
hoard on Oak island, off the coast of
Nova Scotia, and this after many
Others had failed.

COLUMBUS, N. M.. July 21.- The 1,16S men deported from Bisbee. AriZ.. who have been
 detained in the military camp here, voted unanimously tonight to remain in the camp pending further action by the federal gov ernment. This action was taken after the army officer in charge of the camp had announced to the men they were free to go whenever they desired.
 In Military Formation.
 The men were drawn up in mill tary formation and the announce ment that they were at liberty was read to each of the eight con- panies into which they have been divided. They were informed that instructions had been received from Washington that they were at liberty to go where they pleased, but any desiring to re- main in the camp would be sup piled with food by the govern

 CIeary Against Leaving.
 William B. Cleary, the Bisbee attorney who was deported with the alleged Industrial Workers of the World members and sympa- thizers, addressed the men and advised them against leaving the camp pending further develop ments. Mir. Cleary pointed out that it would be inadvisable to flock over the country in a disorganized mass or to go into Columbus, where the people had treated them kindly and should be shown by the mems restraint that this treat ment was appreciated.
 The Bisbee attorney urged the continuation of the organization established in the camp by army officials, and suggested that they organize their own police force and remain. as they had been from the first, "a law-abiding body of

SENATE ENDS } CONTEST OVER
 FOODNEASURE
By Vote of 81 to 6, Upper House of Congress Passes Revamped Bill-It Now Goes to Conference.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

Nby heNlSW LtdStu "hC.J vvs ASHINGTON, July 2l.-The ad- MAI ministration food control bill, w virtually rewritten after five
 weeks bitter contest, was pass ed today by the senate, S1 to $. Con ferees from house and senate will be- gin work early next week and leaders are hopeful the measure may be in the presidents hands in 10 days.
 Presidents Powers
 As revamped, the bill gives the presi- dent broad authority over foods, feeds and fuel, the alter including kerosene and gasoline; provides for administra- tion by a food board of three members instead of an individual, authorizes federal fixing of coal prices, requisi- tioning and operation Of mines and authorizes a minimum guaranteed price of not less than s2 per bushel for wheat at primary markets.
 Distilled Spirits Banned
 The senate prohibition section, pro- hibiting manufacture of distilled bev- erages during the war and directing the president to buy all distilled spir- its in bond, was substituted for the house "bone-dry" provision and will be one subject of difficulty in confer ence.
 Senators voting against the bill were: France, Marylandfi Hardwick, Georgia: Penrose, Pennsylvania; Reed, Missouri; Sherman, Illinois, and Suth- erland, West Virginia.
 Many Amendments Offered
 Scores of amendments were dispos- ed of today but the principal features were the incorporation of the amend ment authorizing the minimum wheat price and another by Senator Pomer- enc greatly broadening the govern ment's power to hand the coal situa- tion. The government guarantee for wheat will be payable at all principal interior primary markets until July l, 1915. The senate rejected 46 to 31 an by Senator Morris to have the food board instead of congress fix the minimum prices.
 Joint Committee Voted
 Another important senate addition to the bill provides for a joint con gressional committee to supervise war expenditures. It was proposed by Senator Owen, a Democrat, and incor- porated by vote of 53 to 31, several other Democrats voting with the solid Republican membership.
 The senate also added provisions against hoarding of foodstuffs and for regulation of grairn exchanges, auth orizing the president to close them if necessary to stop speculation in fu- lures.

FIVE MEN WILL CONFER WITH THE
 GOVERNOR SOON
Delegation From Bisbee Goes to Phoenix to Talk to Camp bell-Reports Denied That Unions Are Tabooed.

Five men, representing the Work mems Loyalty league and the Citizens Protective league, leave this evening on the Golden State Limited for Phoe- nix, where they will present the facts to the governor of the recent depor- tation of the l. w. WIS from the War ren District and subsequent activities in this county. Governor Campbell wired last evening that he would be pleased to receive the delegation on Monday morning.
 Many rumors and reports have gone out of Bisbee or have been circulated by men and women who have left the district, which have been very far from the truth. In some instances, coast and other papers have given space to reports which have lacked even the basis of truth. It is in view of this and other questions of public welfare that the local committee goes to the state capital for a conference with the chief executive.
 Deny Reports.
 Last evening Miles Merrill, presi- dent of the Workmen's Loyalty league, and J. R. Henderson. president of the Citizens Protective league, authorized the statement that neither of the local organizations desired or planned the disruption of any of the craft unions now in existence in the Warren Dis trict
 This statement was made in view of the circulated rumors, by some of the members of the Chauffeurs' union, that the c. P. l.. and the W. l.. L. intended to deport the members of the organization.
 Men Reporting Fast
 Hundreds of American men are arriving. in the city of Bisbee daily and are being sent to the various mines after being examined by the in vestigation committee Many of them are coming from Globe. Miami and other affected districts in the state. They express themselves as being tired of the agitators in those camps and of the attendant unrest, and de- cided to come to Bisbee where agita- tion has been eliminated and where man could work without being harassed and bounded by professional I.

ALL MINES IN LEADVILLE ARE
 CLOSED TIGHT
For the First Time in Camps History Not a Pound of Ore Is Hoisted-Pumps of Prop critics Manned With Diff culty.
tRv Review Leased Wire,

tfN heNlpW LbdStu WlItf = EADVILLE, Colo. July 21.-For
 the first time in it's history, not l. a pound of ore was hoisted from
 the mines ofsthe Leadville dis trict today, and not single carload was broken underground. Approxi- mately 2.000 miners, engineers and pumpmen, organized and unorganized. failed to appear at the mines this morning, and it was with considerable difficulty that the pumps on several of the large plants were manned. A few pickets were stationed on the roads leading to the mines. and they informed men coming to work that the strike was called.
 Fifty Producers Affected.
 The strike, which was called by the International Union of Mine. Mill and Smeltermen, an organization which be- gan the work of unionizing the camp some months ago. directly affects fifty producing properties and a number of small leases.
 Will Meet Own Men.
 A statement issued at the Mine Own CTS association today said: The fact that the operators have refused to deal with the union has been delib- erately misconstrued to imply that they will not meet their men. The managers have at all times been will ing to confer with their own employees and adjust any differences which may arise"
 Minimum Scale Just.
 Attention was called to the fact that the State Industrial commission, at the solicitation of the union. had come to Leadvilel and investigated condi- tions here with the result that it was decided that there was no justifica- ton for increasing the minimum scale.
 Pernicious Influences.
 "The manner in which this strike was called by discouraging pump men from remaining at their duties. with the evident intention of abandoning the pumps and permitting the work ings to become flooded, shows clearly the pernicious influence behind this movement" the statement continues. Such a course is not pursued in tife interest of the miners themselves or the community"
