Richmond
District
Has Best Roads of ANY Dis
trict in Wise County.

The Richmond district, under
the supervision of "A. l.. Witt, of
Big Stone Gap, says the Coalfeld
Progress, has more completed
roads than any district in Wise
county. AT the present there
are more than fifty miles of mac
adam roads either completed or
under construction in Mr.. Wits
district.
Up to this time about 5000
600 has been spent in widening,
resurfacing and improving the
roads generally.
Weather conditions and the in
ability TO obtain building mate
rails are the obstacles which have
confronted the contractors. The
Valley Road has been resurfaced
from Big Stone Gap TO within
one mile of the mountain. This
remaining mile has been held up
pending the arrival of the ma
terials needed. When Mr.. Witt
purchased the materials last
spring he felt that he had more
than enough, but as the work
continued, and greater improve
ments made, he found that he
was going To be short. The dis
coyery was made right at the
time when road building was at
its height all over the south. Or
ders placed weeks ago are just
coming in.
Contracts have been let for the
rebuilding of the mountain road
from the foot Of Powell's Valley
to the Gap on the summit. This
work will be pushed forward as
soon as weather conditions per-
init.
The Stonego-A Appalachian road
is nearing completion, and will
be one Of the finest pieces of
workmanship in Wise county
when completed. The steam
shovels have virtually cut down
the danger which existed on this
narrow highway. In the Crack
cr's Neck district extensive inn
provements have been made, and
others are contemplated.
Supervisor Witt expressed
as being highly pleased
with the amount of work accom-
plished this summer. Next
spring he has numerous improve
ments in view.
The road improvement in the
Richmond district is by far the
greatest of any in the county.
MIR. Witt modestly says that it is
due to the loyalty and efficiency
of his contractors, while the con-
tractors claim that Supervisor
Witt merely runs the business
of his public office with the same
foresight and ability with which
he has built up the most success
fnl insurance business IN the
southwest.

Indians
Visit Molus
Chart in Hand, Red Men
Seek Buried Treasure
of f'orefathers.

Mo'us, Ky, Nov. 3O.-Consid-
cradle interest has been aroused
in this section by The appearance
OF three full-blooded indians,
logged out in buckskins, feath-
crs, moccasins and other habili-
nents of the red men. They
claim TO be members of the
Cherokee tribe OF Indians, and
their mission here is to locate
and take charge Of hidden
treasure of gold, said to have
been concealed by their forefa,h-
ers long ago, when they were
forced To give up their homes
and country to the Indians of the
north. That the mountains of
Eastern Kentucky contained
gold and silver has long been
known but the efforts of pros
pectors, long and insistent have
failed, 50 far in finding it in pay
ing quantities.
These Indians, however, say
that ihcir ancestors found it in
large quantities and that if the
present white inhabitants only
knew what the Indians know,
they would lind ii cheaper to
shoe their horses with silver than
with iron, or steel. Some color
is given these tales of the In
dams from the fact that there
are places in the mountains
where there are immense guam
titles of Stag can yet be found,
the refuse from furnaces that are
momentoes of long forgotten
P"o'i NHtii WIG lcu ulctl TOuIncu
the hills and valleys of what is
now Kentucky, or ii may be that
these mountains of Stag are rel
les of n people and civilization
long anterior to that of the In
dians, and who have left no rec
ords of their history.
The Indians now hunting the
hidden treasure have sort of
chart, that is pictures painted on
prepared deerskin, that is sup
posad to show the way to the
buried treasure. Their chart
corresponds with some of the
figures painted on rocks, already
discovered by them. The first
figure on the chart is that of II
tortoise with its head pointing in
a certain direction the next that
of IA serpent, and the third that
of an eagle lowering in the air.
These have already been discov-
cred at il distance of perhaps a
mile apart, carved on the face of
cliffs. The next picture on the
chart is that of a bear, making
for lis den and it is supposed
that the den, when found, will
open the longburied treasure,
and that the wealth of perhaps a
forgotten race, will enrich some
full-blooded, blanketed Cherokee
Indians, now living in poverty
on the banks of the Illinois Riv-
er i'll Oklahoma.

GOVERNOR DIXON
VISITS BOHEMIAN
Comes Over to Talk to Farmers Who
are Attending College This
Week
SPEAKS TO BIG CROWD
Promises Farmers Will Get Legis-
latiOn if They Can Agree on
a Program

For the purpose of speaking to the
farmers who are gathered in Boze-
man for the annual Farmers Week
at the State college, Governor Dixon
left Helena yesterday and spent the
afternoon and evening in BOzeman.
His chief talk was given in the even
ing to a crowd that filled every seat
in tle municipal theatre and in this
speech he dwelt mainly on farm
topics.
The whole of his purpose in speak
ing to the farmers was summed up in
his concluding sentences when he said,
"Let me urge on you men Of the farm
bureaus that if you, speaking for the
farmers, will outline program, know
ing what you want, and come to
Helena and present it rightly, I guar
antee the legislature will be delighted
to pass the bill you present with any
degree Of unanimity." Governor Dixon
emphasized al the way through his
talk that if the farmers could agree on
a program that was for their benefit
the legislature would pass it. He
pointed out that hitherto the farmers
had gone at legislation in hit or miss
) fashion, whereas other organizations
came before the legislature with their
t bills all drawn up and in suitable shape
for action by the law makers of the
state.
Speaking of the present times the
governor said that in his opinion
Montana was now going through the
hardest period OF the 81 years he
had been in The state. He spoke Of
Che four years Of drouth, the hard
! conditions which confront the home
steaders in the northern part Of the
state and the quotas Of men and
money Mon ana had furnished for the
war. He reiterated the statement
that he had every confidence in the
outcome, that Montana was not going
into bankruptcy, but pointed out that
. everyone must work to put the state
where is ought to be.
Agriculture" he said, is the basic
e industry Of Montana. 1t will always
a be so. Towns grow and prosper in
/ proportion to the prosperity of the
'C community which they serve. "The
9 great problem of the present day
