My Dear Wilhelm:
Congratulations on that teamwork in
the United States. The Baltimore fire
was a neat job. Our elevator fire on
the water front in Brooklyn destroyed
only 100000 bushels of wheat. but every
little bushel counts. And we had torch
crews out in Kansas City, Battle Greek
and Indianapolis. burning cattle and
wheat and Lay. Good stuff. Wilhelm!
Fire is my own specially, but I'll
have to admit you've shown me-all the
way from Louvain TO San Francisco.
Hope some of those United Staters don't
get impatient and shoot our firebugs at
daybreak. Joyously yours,

FORTUNE IN A KETTLE.
Farmer Discovers Gold In Iron Pot Two
Feet Under Ground.

Milwaukee.-Se Seven thousand dollars
in gold was the treasure John kUgoW-
ski, truck farmer, found hidden two
feet underground while working in his
garden near ManilOwoc. Wis.
Rugowski struck an old iron Kettle
with shovel and, digging it up, care
lessly cast it aside, wien he spied the
glittering money.
Now the question arises to whom
does the money belong, because tusow-
ski is only tenant on the farm. The
property is owned by The estate Of the
late John Meyer, which is still being
settled. Heirs of tho estate claim the
treasure, but Rugowski intimates that
possession is nine points of the law,
and whoever gets the money from him
will have trouble.
For years the farm wassowned by
man named Huck, an eccentric charac-
ter, who had no faith in banks. 1t is
he who is thought to have hidden the
wealth. The property has changed
hands a number Of times.

His Dream of Becoming Rich Like
White Man May Be Realized.

Reno, New. Visions of wealth were
held in the mind of Jack Samucls, an
Indian, who came in from the Pyramid
reservation recently with half Il dozen
samples of mincralized rock that he
found in hedges out on the reservation.
Jack showed them to Indian Agent G.
II. Ashbury who had his clerk w. G.
Van Enron, conduct him TO the Mackay
School of Mines ut the university to
have them assayed.
Some Of the samples look very good,
and it is not impossible that they may
be the forerunner of..important discov-
cries. Jack explains that the lodges
are big, and if the ore runs all right he
has chance to get rich like the white
man.
For many years there have been ira
ditions Of fabulously rich float found on
the reservation, but even the most dill
gent prospecting has failed to disclose
the lodges from which it came.
