Treasure Island Is Rivaled By Stories ofRich Mines Found

the early seventies. He had a very irritating habit of disappear ing from the camp once in a while going by night, and taking with him several burros. whose feet would be so well wrapped that trailing was impossible. He would return at night, in equally as mys- terious manner. his burros load ed with gold ore of wonderful richness. Efforts at tracking him failed.
 German Disappears.
 ''The country for miles around was searched carefully to find the source of his wealth, which could not have been very far distant. The ore was not the same as that at Vulture. The location of the mine has never became known to anyone, save its discoverer. He disappeared as usual one night. and never returned.
 The assumption that he was murdered by Apaches appears to have been sustained by prospec- tors discovery near Vulture in the summer of 1895 of the barrel of an old muZzle-loading shotgun. and by it. a homemade mesquite gun stock. The gun had been there so long that even the ham, mer and trigger had rusted away Near by was human skeleton, bleached from long exposure The next find was some small heaps of very rich gold rock. probably where sacks had decayed from around the ore. and then at a short distance was discovered q shallow prospect hole. sunk on a gold bearing ledge. The ore in the heaps was about the same character as that which had been brought into Wickenburg in the early days by the Lost Dutchman but it didn't agree at all with the ore in the shallow prospect hole. which was not considered worthy of further development.
 The Herald Fake
 ''In the winter of '79 some troy ble was stirred up among conid- ing tenderfeet by the publication of a story in the Phoenix Herald. printed as a fake so plainly trans parent that he who ran might have read It told of the arrival of prospector from the depths of the Superstitions. whence he had been driven by pigmy Indians. who had swarmed out of the cliff dwellings. His partner had been killed and he had escaped only by a miracle. But the couple had dis covered some wonderful gold dig gings. from which an almost i'm possible quantity of dust had been accumulated by couple of days work.
 The story was widely copied. and from eastern points SO many inquiries came that the Herald editor had to have a little slip printed 10 be sent back in reply. On the slip was the word fake"

GREAT ISSUES COMING
UP FOR SETTLEMENT

Our people need to be thinking as
never before about great social and
political issues. The world is going to
be largely made over after this war.
In nearly every country people are GO
ing to consider afresh the foundations
on which they have built their govern
ments and set out more resolutely to
realize the ancient ideal Of "liberty,
equality, fraternity" Russia is already
afire with this spirit, and for ten years
now it has been stirring England and
France.
Then take the case Of Germany. If
we could patch up a peace with the
kaiser now, he would keep Inns hold on
the people and Germany would contin-
ue under the domination Of a war-mad
a~ristocracy, a menace to the world.
But with the kaiser soundly beaten, as
he is sure to be, the German upeople
should rise successfully (as they did
unsuccessfully in 1848), throw off their
vicious rulers, and establish a great
peaceful republic. That is u hope.
and with the capable German people
supporting the forces of peace and de-

COAL PRICE ORDER
FOUND TOO BROAD
Modification of Ruling May Bring
Lower prices to Consumers.

Washington, Nov. S.-Possible re-
duction of retail coal prices was lndl-
Gated by the feul administration TO-
day in instructions to state fuel ad-
illustrators empowering them TO
change methods of fixing retail mar
gins. Investigation has disclosed that
the margin now allowed, which is the
same as that taken in 1915, in many
instances is too high. The instruction
to fuel administrators are as follows
at has been called to u attention
that in certain communities retail deal,
ers are charging an excessive retain
price for coal. In some localities re-
tail merchants enjoyed both IN l9loand
in July, 1917, a margin of profit when
under present circumstances would ap-
near TO be unreasonable. This sltua-
tion NAV exist ever though the retail
ers may be basing their present prices
strictly in accordance with our regu-
lations.
seWhen such a condition is reported
in your territory, we suggest that your
local committee make a careful lnves-
tigation of the cost of doing business
by each of the dealers, and If 1t ap-
ear that more than a reasonable
profit is being enjoyed, that the COM
mittee arrive at a fair and reasonable
proit to be allowed the retailer, send
their recommendation to the state adj
ministrator, who will pass upon them
as to whether their findings are equi-
table and just to consumer and retail
er a. well. -,
"The state administrator then will
confirm such prices in that town or
city, subject to the approval Of the
United States fuel administrator.
"Your local committees, in arriving
at a fair retail price, where the price
margin is too high, should allow each
retailer a reasonable profit. 1t is ad-
visable to base the profit On a fiat val
ue basis rather than per centage basis,
since the latter would give the less ef-
fcient dealtr with high costs a larger
actual profit than the more efficient
dealer with lower costs.
1T may b ewise in some cases to av'
a the costs Of dealers in the samt
town."
In a recent order retail dealers were
directed to charge nc greater margins
than they took in 1915, with the pro
vision that in no instance were mar
gins to be more than charged in Jul!
of this year. Today's order empower.
local committees to reduce these mar
gins wherever investigation showsthe,
are unreasonable.
Fuel administration officials predict
ed that the order would bring lowe
coal prices in many parts of the coun
try.

BIRDS MISLED COLUMBUS.

When Columbus on his first voyage
westward over the Atlantic had sail
ed several days west from the Canary
islands without ftndiRg Zipaugu lJa-

consulted with Martin Pizon, comman
der Of the Pinta, one Of the three ship:
of the expedition, and the latter ad.
vised altering the course and sailing
more to the southwest.
1t seems that Pinzon had seen some
parrots flying toward the southwest
and, being a believer in the old super
stition common among Spanish seafar-
ing men that to follow a bird on a
voyage of discovery brings good luck,
he favored going in the direction the
birds had taken. Columbus acted on
Pinzon's advice and, as every school
boy knows, reached the West Indies
instead Of the mainland of America as
he probably would had he continued on
his westerly course.

of cases in history where seemingly
trivial incidents have had important
f~ar-reaching effects. One of the re-
suits of turning aside to follow the
parrots flight, so far as Columbus
himself was concerned, was that to his
dying day he remained in ignorance of
the real Importance and magnitude of
his achievement. No one can say just
how and to what extent the whole
chain of subsequent events which fol-
lowed in the next generation or so
were changed, or how and to what ex-
tent the whole chain of subsequent
events down to the present day have
been affected as a result of Pinzon's
seeing that flock of birds but the chan

TRANSATLANTIC AN OLD MAN
is LIKE TRANSFORMING
AN OLD TREE

Uncle Henry Wallace, editor Of Wal
lace's Farmer, who died sometime ago
in his eightieth year, had a keen SYM
patty for aged farmers and a thor
ough understanding Of their problems.
On of his ideas he kept emphasizing
vas tais-that If a farmer has gotten
10 work, he ought not to pull
up and move away from old friends
and the old life, but should stay on his
farm, tightening his work as much as
necessary, or giving it up if wholly
unable to work, but still keeping in
touch with it by living on the place. y
We believe Uncle Henry was rid
IT'D ag-s pretty Soon. ne is separat
ed from the friends he used to know
the life he used to know, and is too oil
to adjust himself to the new life. A
man is somewhat like a tree; you may
transplant him pretty successfully il
youth, but after he has made his
growth in n place, transplanting is
not only a difficult but a ~dangerou.
job.
These reflections come to mind as We
ran across an old clipping in which
Uncle Harry Wallace expressed his
views. On this occasion he wrote:
Il don't blame some of you for re-
firing. There comes a time to every
farmer when there is no other way.
but | do think it is a pity you moved to
town instead of renting the farm and
living on a house of your W on part
OF it, so that you could keep in touch
with your old church, your old school,
and your old neighbors, and keep an
eye on the farm.
Some of you have made the mistake
of losoing interest in the farm after
you have moved to town, feeling sure
of a stated rent in cash or a stated
share Of the crop. 1t is quite easy
for a tenant who has a lease on a
good farm for five years or more, to so
farm it that the landlord is as badly
off at thee nd of the lease as in the be-
ginning, ever if he has obtained a high
rent in full.
IF you are still living on the farm
and have not rented it as yet, kindly
consider the suggestion not to move
to town, but to build another house if
need be. Keep a couple of horses, a
COW, some chickens; have a garden,
buy an automobile, if you like-but
stay on the farm."-The Progressive
Farmer.

moeracy instead Of the forces of wal
and autocracy, a new day will indeed
dawn for the world.
Look at the great issues now crowd
ing upon us-issues about which every
intelligent man should be forming an
opinion.
First of all, must we not estab-
lish a supreme court of nations to set
tie international disputes, pledging to
its support the military strength OF
all civilized countries?
2-The nation has been forced to
admit in its hour of need that the just
est tax is that on inheritances, great
incomes, and excess profits. Should
we ever again revert to a system that
bears unjustly on the poor?
3-The failure to encourage agri-
culture has resulted in a drift to the
towns, the seriousness of which is
seen in the present world famine. How
else shall we r~evitaliZe agriculture,
promtoe soil conservation, and estab-
lish the institutions of attractive coun-
try life except through home-owner-
ship-using the power of taxation and
other powers to encourage resident ow-
nership and discourage absentee land
lordism?
4-For generations the vitality of
nearly every people has been sapped by
the drink evil. Now our government
for the period of the war has forbed-
den the manufacture of whiskey. Shall
we allow the industry to be revived
again?
5-Seventy percent of the 106,392
volunteers for the navy last year and
&C per cent of the 1900, 900 men exam
ined for the army and navy since the
wal began, have been found physically
unfit. Is it not time to inquire wheth-
err our great industries have not been
grinding up manhood to make money
and whether it is not time to make ex-
attention and hospital facilities free
alike to rich and poor-as free as
schools are now?
6-Woman suffrage now seems as
sured in Great Britain and in our own
country President Wilson has declared
that woman suffrage is one Of the
fundamentals of democracy whose
proper settlement is demanded by the
issues of the war"
These are af ew and only a few Of
the great issues now ~erowding for set
Element. For the most part they look
to what Premier Lloyd George of Eng
land calls "a crusade against piverty,'
Let us get America ready to line up
with other nations in this righteous
