TELLS OF TREASURES
 OF MEXICAN MINES

BISBEE, Ariz., June 3.-For three hundred years, according to reliable records, the Sierra Madre mountains of Sonora and Chihuahua Mexico have held the secret of gold mine of fabulous richness and vast treasure store of gold, mined and hidden away in an inaccessible tun- (nel.
 Tho romance of the gold hunter is written in the history of mans eff forts through the centuries to reach and bring back to civilization this wealth of the Old Tyopa mines. Mur- CTS and violence have marked many of these efforts and still in many hardy breasts of this mining country today there still stirs the spirit which has prompted many to brave the dangers Pf starvation, thirst and death at the hands of Indian bands and outlaws in this search for gold.
 . Records in Mexico
 Mexico City contains records of the Pld mine and several prospectors, one bf them Jack Dunn, accredited discov- Prer of the Warren district, have re- ported seeing ruins of the old mine, but none ever reached there.
 According to records at the Mexi- an capital, in the latter part of the eventeenth century the isolated will age of Old Tyopa was raided by In- ians, who destroyed the town and killed all the inhabitants except a priest.

MRS. JOHN 1, EAkIN
CONFERENCE LEADER
NASHVILLE WOMAN TO PRESIDE
AT THE CITIZENSHIP
MEETING
From Saturdays Daily Herald

From Saturdays Daily Herald.)
Mrs. John Hill Eakin, of Nashville,
has been asked to preside over the
social welfare group at the confer
ence on efficient citizenship to be held
at the University of Tennessee June
and 7 in connection with the dedi-
catory exercises for the two new
buldings-Ayres Hall on the crest of
the hill, ard the agricultural building,
on the university farm. The social
welfare group is one of the ten diff
ferent groups that will hold sessions
on Monday afternoon, June 6, to con.
slider the status Of education and citi.
zenship in Tennessee and to evolve
plans by which interest in education
may be stimulated. After the sepa,
rate sessions on Monday, all groups
will hold a general conference on
Tuesday, at which time the findings
of each committee will be presented
and co-ordinated. The data will then
be turned over to University officials
who will go over in detail, selecting
what is feasible and putting 1t into eff
feet.
Mrs. Eakin is one of the most wide.
ly known social service workers in
Tennessee, being president of the
State Board of Charities and Correc'
tons, 1t is mainly due to her efforts
that Tennessee has much construc
tive legislation for the INDECENT poor
for the inmates of insane asylums, fol-
prison reforms, and for delinquent
children.

HOGS BACK TO
pRE-WAR BASIS
LOWER THE PAST MONTH THAN
IN NINE YEARS WITH A SINGLE
EXCEPTION.
(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)
That hogs are back below pre-war
basis is shown by a comparative state
ment of the prices received in April of
this year with the prices for the same
month of 1918, 1914, 1915, 1915 all
years before America entered the war.
The average price for good hogs on
the Chicago market in April, 1918, was
1910; in the same month of 1914 the
average was $S.75; in 1915 it was
$7.65; in. 1916 the year before Ameri-
ca entered the war, it was. 1910, while
in April of this year, the average for
the same class of hogs in Chicago was
only 1925. The prices for 1917, 1918,
1919 and 1920, were all higher and
are not proper subjects for a compar-
ison. In April of 1915 only have the
prices paid for hogs been lower in the
past nine years than they were in the
past April. Despite this evidence of
the return of the hog to a prewar basis
the remarkable fact remains that
many of the products of the hog are
still far above the pre-wGr level. The
peak prices for hogs of the average
kind were made in Chicago in July,
1919, when they sold at $22.10.

HARCROvE AUCTION
I. DECIDED SUCCESS
NINETY-THREE ACRE FARM At
SPRING HILL PURCHASED BY
MAYNARD MURPHY.

(From Saturdays Daily Herald)
All things considered the sale OF
the J. r. Hargrove farm of ninety
three acres at Spring Hill by the s.
o. Thomas agency was most decided
success. Maynard Murphy was the
purchaser at $166 an acre, the total
sale being $15,597 Mr.. Thomas was
congratulated on the success Of the
sale, although, of course, the price re-
fleets a depreciation in the values OF
land. But it was not as much as had
been expected
The farm is situated right in the
suburbs of Spring Hill Every acre Of
it lies right on the jack
son boulevard, with splendid
six room residence and all Of the con-
veniences. Mr.. Murphy is one of the
leading farmers of the sixth district
and expects to move to his new home
at an early date.

and other interesting information will
be available at later date, and new
features will be added.
Other matters Of vital importance
to sheep breeders was discussed in a
most interesting manner, and it was
evident that the discussion of the
speakers fell upon fertile soil, as farm

interested in the raising of sheep, and
it is expected that before the end of
