ON TRACK OF VAST TREASURE
That Vast Hoards Of the MongoIs
Has Seen Discovered.

Whether ASia'S most famous treas
ure-h0ard. the concealed vnlunblcS OF
the MOngOlS. has been found. IS still Il
mystery ia those who have dreamed of
finding the precious relics OF kings and
emperorS hidden somewhere in the
ruins Of the cities of central Asia. Re
cent reports that some of the jewels
and goldwOrk Of tho AIongolS have
reached India confirm the belief that
the trensurc-hOlrd has been ranSacked
at last.
Five hundred years ago the desert
was green and temples and luxurious
palaces adorned central and southern
Asia, often called the ''tomb Of lost
millions" The Mongois, the most for
midablc Of the tribes ut that time, raw
aged eastern and central Europe in
the thirteenth century. and carried
their loot with them. With the pas
sage of the tribe the great secret to
explorers has been the place Of their
hidden treasure.
Some years ago two men in Var
kand sold some relics OF ancient Asian
workmanship. and It, IS believed they
had come upon the tomb of The treas
urcs. 1t was then that al adventur-
Gus Englshman, II. Spaulding, called
them to him and set out 10 further
explore the treasure region. 1t was
reported that he had penetrated the re-
gi0n. hut that he had been slain on
making his getaway. The appearance
of some of the ancient relics in India
recently Is believed to indicate that
Spaulding was robbed and that the
treasures arc slowly being sold by his
asSailantS.
