WILL MEET IN JULY
 IN MINNESOTA

1 MINNEAPOLIS, June 10 (by Asso- ciated ss).-The American Insti- ute of Banking, educational section of the American Bankers Associa- tion, holds it's 18th annual conven- tion here July 19 to 22. Approxi- mately 1,500 delegates from almost every state in the union are expect ed to be present.
 Because of recent financial re- adjustments, the meetings promise to be the most important held by bank. | ing heads this years. Five indus try talks by men actively identified with each individual subject will be a feature of the convention. Men nationally known are to be selected to talk on milling, livestock and packing, automobiles, merchandise jobbing and transportation.
 Another feature will be sym posium on foreign trade, in which a number of prominent institute men will participate. Questions of world wide trade, and any relating subject which affects American bankers will be discussed.
 It is planned to have among the speakers a prominent banker, man high in the administration in Wash ington, and an eastern educator, ac- cording to members of the program committee.
 Formed number of years ago at Richmond, Virginia, through the con- solidation of number of local assO- citations, the organization now has an active membership of 44,OOO throughout the country. Originally, it was known as the American Insti- ute of Bank Clerks, but later, when it became a part of the American Bankers Association, it's name changed and both officers and clerks of banks were admitted to active membership. Many bank directors recently have become affiliated with the institute as associate members
 Local chapters of the institute have been established in S4 of the country's principal cities and six state chapters have been organized for the purpose of extending the edu- cational advantages of the organiza- tion to country bankers.
 Educational classes for the most are conducted under agreements with well-known universities, but where this system cannot be effected, the work is under the direct supervision of George E. Allen, educational di- rector of the institute.
 Many women will be found among the membership of the institute and the active participation of women in the banking business is seen by their recent election to some of the larger organizations of the Ameri- can Bankers Association.

TRY TO LOCATE MYTHICAL MINE
 IN OLD MEXICO

B!SBEE, Ariz., June 10 (by Asscci ated Press) For three hundred years, according to reliable records, the Sierra Madre mountains of So- nora and Chihuahua Mexico, have held the secret of gold mine of fabu- lous richness and a vast treasure store of gold, mined and hidden away in an inaccessible tunnel.
 The romance of the gold hunter is written in the history of mans efforts through the centuries to reach and bring back to civilization this wealth of the Old Tyopa mines. Murders 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 promoted many to brave the dangers of starvation, thirst and death at the hands of Indian bands and out laws in the search for gold.
 Mexico City contains records of the old mine and several prospectors, one of them Jack Dunn, accredited dis. coverer of the Warren district, have reported seeing ruins of the old mine but none ever reached there.
 According to records of the Mexican capital, in the latter part of the seven. teenth century the isolated village of old Tyopa was raided by Indians who destroyed the town and killed all the inhabitants except priest.
 After wandering for several weeks the priest arrived at little town call. ed Auga Fria, on the Faqui river where he was received and cared for by Mexican family. His hardships caused his death, but before he died he gave to the family a description and map of the mining camp He also reported that the gold obtained from seven years of mining had been stor. ed in an old tunnel because of the i'm. possibility of shipment to civilization
 The story and map, it is said have been handed down from family to family for generations. Those who attempted to reach the camp lost their outfits and many did not re- turn. The Indians for years men, aced all prospectors and this condi- tion still exists, augmented by bands of outlaws.
 Max Covita, for several years Mex ican coHnsul at Naco, is said to have been the latest possessor of the priests map. He declared he twice succeeded in getting as far as Casa Blanca from which the ruins of Old Tyopa are visible and it was reported he had not given up hopes of reaching the place
 at his death several years ago.
 Bert Grover, local man, twice started with two companions to make the perilous journey, but was forced back because of insufficient equipment, Indians and outlaws.
 Some remarkable gold specimens have been brought back from the vicinity of the Old Tyopa but so far as known no one has ever reached the mines since the old town was de- stroyed centuries ago.
