 THE AGE-HERALD COurtland. Ala. Feb. 10 1

Some two and half miles west of the town of Courtland, on the Court land and Tuscumbia highway is the old Saunders homestead, known for generations as Rocky Hill." Com prising many thousand acres before the Civil war, the mansion on this place has housed some of the most famous people of America. The resi- dence was built by Col. James E.. Saunders, before the war and some- thing of its granduer can be esti- mated when it is known that the building of the mansion, with slave labor cost more than thirty thou sand dollars, with the timbers sawed and the brick burned on the prem ises.
 Colonel Saunders died many years ago and the place passed to his heirs until now it is owned and oc- cupied by grandson, Dr. Dudley D. Saunders.
 Yesterday. in tearing up hearth for needed repairs, treasure trove was unearthed, consisting of about $60 in gold and silver coin. This money consisted in part of IA Mexi- can dollars and one coin of silver, about the size of dollar, inscribed Lou XVIII Roi Del France, five S5 gold pieces. dated from 1884 to 1853, one $21a gold piece. two $1 gold coins, one English gold coin about the size of two dollar and half piece on which was engraved "Regi- na Fid-Def Britanniarum, Victoria Del Gratia" 1S499. twenty 5O-cent pieces of American silver ranging in ages from 1923 to 1858. twenty 10- cent silver pieces, three silver half dimes. nineteen, silver 25-cent pieces and one Chinese coin.
 All of the various coins were very much corroded and bore evidence of having been buried for many years.
 The supposition is that this money was buried during the Civil war by one of the ancestors of pr. Saunders and has remained hidden these many years. Dr. D. D. Saunders who is wealthy man is very proud of his find and will keep the entire collec- ton intact as a curiosity.
