Miners Bury Treasure
To Avoid Bandits
Californians Going Back to
Mexico to Recover $4,000
in Gold Bullion

GRASS VALLEY, Cal, June T.
Somewhere in Mexico" $4,000 in gold
bullion is buried, its whereabouts
known only to J. A. Mathis, formerly
u miner of Pumas County, north of
here, and two companions who aided
in secretng it. Mathis recently ar
rived here after an absence Of two
years. He is going back to find the
gold which was buried, because the men
valued their lives more than the
precious ore, the weight Of which i'm
pcdcd their progress when chased by
Mexican bandits.
Describing the flight. Mathis said:
Two Of us slept, while the third
stood guard. Before daylight the
guard awakened us to hear the hoof-
beats Of approaching horses Soon
three horsemen rode through the chap
parai and We could distinguish the
nigh pointed hats Of the bandits. We
wasted no time in challenging, but i'm
mediately opened fire. Two Of the men
fell from their horses The third tried
TO escape, but he tumbled hcadlong
before he had gone far. Vauing our
lives more than the heavy bullion Just
then. we decided TO leave it behind, and
it was buried in the sand and secret
markings noted"

The French colonel said it was most
important that he interview Genera,
Liggett, and that General Mangin, the
French commander, desired through
the colonel to request American CO.
operation. The French officer said that
fifty or sixty German delegates were
ready to come to Cobenz and hold
meeting, provided the Americans
granted a permit.
The American authorities took the
stand that the movement was a purely
political one and that to permit any
such meeting would be exceeding the
authority Of the army command.

He is a lawyer.
The Independent Socialist "Die Fret

made definite promises to the republic
in the shape of officially settling wine
and food prices on peace basis and
also fixing the value of the mark arbi-

Copyright 1912 New York Tribune Iuc)
LONDON, June Tt is practically
certain, although it has not yet been
announced officially, that the first at
tempt to fly westward across the At
lantic will be made within the next ten
days, when the R-34, giant British air
ship, will start for Atlantic City. All
that is delaying the attempt now is
absence of report in regard to a land
ing place which should be received
from a special party sent across the
Atlantic early this week and which
is due to arrive at Atlantic City Mon
day or Tuesday.
The R "a has been making successful
trial trips every few days. She is in
perfect condition for long flight, with
her recently installed 900-mile radius
wireless sending apparatus to increase
tremendously the safety Of the under
taking.
All official information in regard to
the start of the flight and details of the
plans is withheld because the British
government feels that Hawker's long
wait at Newfoundland, with his daily
bulletins expect to start was undig-
nitied. There will be no information
available from official sources until i'm
mediately before the R-34 starts.
1t has been officially announced that
the Air Ministry, under whose auspices
the R-34 is to attempt her transatlantic
flight, shortly will take over all lighter
than air craft in Great Britain. Hith-
erto the Air Ministry has controlled
only heavier than air machines, with
the Admiralty retaining in charge, for
the purposes Of administration, of all
airships. For months the crews of the
latter have been made I'D from the
Royal Air Force. but now, it is officially
announced, a change is imminent.
