TO SEEK SPANISH TREASURE IN
 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

A prospector in the wilds of I'm perial County, California, recently came upon documents which describe Spanish expedition of three hundred and fifty years ago into what is now southern California. The documents, which Professor Herbert E. Bolton of the historic department of the Uni versity of California pronounces un- questionably genuine, give the location where great quantities of gold and sil- yer were buried and of the mine from which the metal was taken.
 According to the professor, who Is an authority on early California his- tory, whether or not the metals are found the documents themselves con- stitute a rare historic treasure. So great was the amount of gold and silver, the document relates, that the party went afoot while the bullion was loaded on twentynine horses and as many mules. The party was be- sieged and about to be destroyed by Indians. The details of the story, told in the decayed and all but illegible documents, are in perfect accord, says Professor Bolton, with the tradition of a gold-hunting expedition of that period of which heretofore no written record has been found.
 The prospector is John Mayeroff, now resident in Oakland, California. Some months ago he was in the noun tains of southwestern Imperial Coun- ty, where he discovered a huge rock which had apparently been rolled from some other position. With great diff ficulty he removed the rock, and found beneath, wrapped in an old hide, three mutilated sheets, with fine writing on both sides. Unable to read Spanish, he brought a Spanish dictionary and tried to decipher the document. Fin ally he took it to the university pro- lessor, who, after careful examina- tion, became convinced of the genuine ness and importance of the find. The professor declared he had no interest in the treasure, but the prospector has secured the services of a San Fran cisco engineer with funds at his com mand, who has undertaken to finance the expedition. He has joined Mayer off in the mountains.
 The old documents recite how the expedition of Spaniards, joined by a group of French, after obtaining the treasure, was attacked by four thou sand Indians. When their numbers were greatly reduced and all hope of escape was cut off, the Spaniards sought to leave some record, in the expectation that their heirs in Spain might profit by their sacrifice to the hunt for gold. Much treasure buried by the early Spaniards has been found in Old Mexico, and many of the minas antiguas of Mexico were tapped, and some of the richest properties of this day were found concealed in this fashion.
 In some cases the slag was removed far distant from the point where the opening of the mine had been covered, so as to throw treasure hunters off the scent.

COWBOY DIGS UP TREASURE NEAR CUSTER BATTLEFIELD

When O. w. Crawford went to look for loot buried in Montana he learned some one else had been at the hiding place before him. This information reached him through the police de- partment of Billings, Montana, the chief of which received an anonymous letter from Fl Paso, Texas, stating that cowpuncher working for the Custer Cattle Company had removed the money in 1920.
 The letter said the money was bur- jed in the south bank of Reno Creek, four hundred yards from it's junction with Little Big Horn River, near the Custer battlefield. According to Crawford, who says he was directed to the spot by dying St. Louis mem- Der of the band of outlaws that buried the loot, the amount of money was eighty-three thousand dollars.

F FRANCE TO SEND

Precautions First, Decisions
AfterWard, Said To Be
French View; Move to
Safeguard Soldiers.
(By The Associated Press

Paris, July 81 (by the Associated
Press. )-France it was declared in
official circles this morning, will
send reinforcements to upper Sile-
STA, whether or not Great Britain
joins in the movement. The French
move will be made, it was declared
to insure the safety of the 10000
French soldiers already on the
ground there.
Premier BRAND sent a note yes
terday in reply to the British note
on the Silesan issue, expressing
lack of conviction that the supreme
council could serve any useful pur-
pose by converting before measures
are taken to assure order and pro-
vide for the security of the allied
troops now in the district.
News received today from Oppeln
was far from reassuring. The atti-
tude of the German press, as inter-
preted by the French dispatches,
were increasingly provocative.
France, it is declared, recognizes
that danger threatens from the
side of the Poles as we'll as from
the German side, making it doubly
necessary, in the French view, to
increase the allied troops.
Precautions first, decisions after
wards, probably will remain the
French view, it is indicated, unless
there are unforeseen developments.

The Australian premier made his
declaration before the American

UNLESS an agreement concern

mier Hughes said. "hoDe of success

so remote as to be negligible"
He declared Australia and New
Zealand must be represented at
the Pacific conference.
Australia's 12,0OO-mile remote
ness, he continued, did not save
her from participation in the great
war, any more than Americas doc
trine saved the Americans from

this fact, Mr.. Hughes caid. and
indicated the intention of the United
States to enter it's proper place in

The danger in the Pacific, he
declared, lies in the naval rivalry
between Japan and the United

Britain with her vital interests,
must enter unless an agreement is
reached which recognizes the
American and Australian destiny
in the Pacific as we'll as Japan's

ROTAR|ANS TAKE
STAND AGAINST
ROAD BOND ACT
Club Unanimously Voices its
Opposition to Two Million
Dollar Issue Validated by
Amendment.

Members of the Albuquerque Ro-
tary club took square stand yes
terday noon against the proposed
constitutional amendment, which
would validate the act of the Fifth
state Legislature in the issuance Of
$4,000, 900 of road bonds ostensibly
for the purpose of meeting federal
aid allotments. The action, taken
at the club luncheon, was unani-
nous.
At the request of the board of
directors, A. B. McMillen and W.
C. Reid made the preliminary dis
cussion of the proposed bond is
sue. Mr.. McMillen voiced his OPP
position to any extension of federal
aid at this time and also to the
bond issue.
He pointed out that there Is
great wave of expenditures sweep
ing across the country, mostly in
the form of bond issues, and that
these bond issues are usually pro-
posed for roads or schools in the
hope that no opposition will be en-
countered.
THE people have been dlsillu-
stoned as to the theory that you
can tax the corporations and large
taxpayers and not hit the common
people," he declared. THE ulti-
mate consumer pays for the eX-
cess profits tax and a host of 9TH
err taxes"
He pointed out that federal aid
was not a gift from the govern
ment, since it was drawn by the
government in forms of taxes
which really meant a burden to the
people.
"The speaker showed that the
state highway commission would
have $8,000,OOO by 1925 and ex-
pressed an opinion that this was
enough. He mentioned the present
bonded debt Of the state and the
present interest cost from bonds.
w. C. Reid urged the inadvisa-
bility OF trying to have as good
roads as states with far more
wealth and less road making diff
culties. He urged the adoption Of
the constitutional amendment
which would limit all tax levies.
Upon motion of Dave S. Rosen-
valid, the club unanimously voted
that it was opposed to the passage
OF the amendment carrying the
road bond issue.
Rev. Hugh Cooper, the clubs
delegate to the meeting of Interna-
tional Rotary at Edinburgh, Scot
land, told of the entertainment fea-
lures afforded to delegates. The
boys camp committee reported |
that the camp was in readiness for
a housewarming which may be
held within the next ten days.
