prohibition officials here interested in
Bimini the small British island forty
miles east OF Miami which since the
outlawing OF John Barleycorn by the
United States has become a mecca
for those whose thirst was not

IN search whom he discovered F7ori.

urts in the news reports OF the day
by that name. Ponce de Leon heard
Of Il while In Porto Rico in 1872. hav-
ing been told by the Indians there
''of an Inland called Bimini, where
there was much gold and a treasure
even more precious than gold--a foun-
tain whose waters would make youne
forever all mortals who should drink
OF IT," as one chronicle puts It.
Ponce de Leon fitted out three sinai
vessels at his own expense TO go in
search OF the fountain. He left TO tbs
present generation the discovery OF
the gold and potent waters, however
for after cruising about the Bahamas
during the winter of 1913 without
sighting the island he heard there was
land in the northwest, steered in
that direction and on Easter Sun
day, March 81, landed on the beach
a few miles north OF where st. Aug
Justine now stands.
Prohibition officials credit the In
dams of Porto Rico with having
known what they were talking about
when they told Ponce de Leon VIVA,
he would find at Bimini.
"Bimini Is running over with gold
these days." said one official, land I,
is certain from the experience we have
had with liquor runners the last year
or two that the marvellous waters OF
the fountain still flow freely"
