again and, with the good ofices of
the United States, decide their. quar-

be a delay OF year or so before
Peru and Ecuador are ready to turn
over their issue to the President.
Way Clear for Adjustment.
But the delay is not the point. The
fact that the way has been cleared
for the final adjustment of this last
of the serious boundary disputes in
Latin America Is the important thing.
Peru and Ecuador came near fight
ing each other some years ago, and
there is no sufficient reason to be-
lieve they would not reach swords
points again if the issue were left
standing.
South American boundary disputes
are difficult knots to unite. There
are few who understand them
Those who profess to an ability to
see the conflicting issues write
books, great, heavy volumes which
trace the history OF the boundaries
back through the ages Libraries
could be filled with the books which
have been written on both sides of
the Tacna-Arica dispute between
Chile and Peru. And there is no
mean assortment Of literature setting
forth the views OF DISTINGUISHED
statesmen and boundary experts on
the dispute between Peru and Ecua
dor. One author will violently pro-
claim that in the year 1902 a French
explorer by the name of Jean
d'Blurb stood at the base of a rub
per tree and declared in a tone both
loud and piercing that the spot where
he stood marked the boundary. An
other author will just as violently
and heatedly declare that in the year
1893 Dutch explorer by the name
of Hanz Blah climbed a rubber tree
fully six miles away and shouted at
the top Of his lungs that his tree
marked the boundary line. Long
and fmpassioned addresses are print
ed as extensions of remarks in the con-
gressional records of the Congresses
Of each country, giving the views of
learned juris<s on where the bound
ary lines are located. And so it
goes, back and forth, until the
boundary dispute becomes a vital
issue and it's mere mention is the
signal for fight.

~ My snarling threats of Ger
man Nationalists mar gen.
eral determination in various
nations Of western Europe
that there shall not only be prolonged
peace, but rapid and effective, eco
nomic and financial reconstruction.
Through the conferences Of Pre-
miers Macdonald of England, Her
riot of France and Theunis of Bel
GUM, coupled with understandings
with Mussolini in Rome, it may be
truthfully said that the allies are
more united than they have been at
any time since the treaty Of ver-
sailles.
Premiers Macdonald and Herriot,
furthering wishes Of the masses, who
are weary unto death Of procrastina-
tfon in settlements Of after-the-war
problems, which have done so much
to perpetuate chaos, conferred in at
Checquors Court, the British pre-
mier's residence. and as a result
there was friendly unity in decisions
designed to forever eradicate po-
litical sores. That something must
be done Immediately to perpetuate
peace and settled order was their
first decision. That application of
the Dawes report was essential to
the general restorative process like
wise was decided. The future of Ger
many occupied the minds Of the pre-
miers. Their belief that the hands
Of the nationalist elements in German
life must be tied was indicated. That
the allies themselves first Of all must
do everything possible to strengthen
the hands of the present German gov
ernment against the assaults of its
enemies by ameliorative action by
upon. Convincing the German people
that they have nothing to fear, but
If they show their good faith every
thing will work to the eventual SAL
walton Of Germany and the continent,
was a process held necessary. This
sort Of action by the allies will do
much to disarm the rampant elements
of Germany and SO weaken their
cause that they will have little

lishment of a limited monarchy in

German People Changing.
And from all Indications the allies
already have convinced the German
people that they have nothing to fear,
notwithstanding the wailing and
lamentation of former Premier Poin-
care against any weakening of the
policies he enunicated and practiced
in the treatment Of Germany. Pre-
mier Herriot already has given in

RUGGED MOUNTAIN SIDE NEAR
HOLDS FAST THE SECRET
OF THE LOST CACHE OF GOLD

among the hills and in huge mortar:
beat the gold from the rock. Blu
for an accident, perhaps the scores
would never have been known.
One day little girl was picking
raspberries in the hills, when she
discovered mortar and pestle and
by the side stood powder can filled
with yellow sand, hidden securely
among the rocks. She tried to lift
the can but its weight was too much
for her girlish strength. In her
childish way, she played with the
| implements for some time and then
went home and forgot all about the
incident
The next day her father, seeing
mortar used by assayers, stated in
her presence that he would have to
buy one soon Suddenly recollecting
her find in the hills she said that she
knew where there was one of those
things, "and," she added, there is
a big can full of pretty yellow sand,
but it was, OH so heavy l couldn't
lift it at all.
Her father was naturally interest
ed at once and the next day he took
her with him in search of the mys-
FERROUS can of yellow treasure. The
little girl readily pointed out the
spot where the mortar and pestle
stood, but the can was nowhere to be
seen. A huge mass of rock further
UP the hill had become loosened dur
ing the night and had crashed down
on the spot where the little girl said
it had stood. A thorough search
was made, but to no avail The
boulders had obliterated all trace of
the can of gold.
Day after day, the father re-
turned to the place and toiled and
sweated in the work of raising the
stones and digging among the loose
rock The powder can was nowhere
to be found. He implicitly believed
that the treasure was a reality and
never gave up hope of some day dis
covering it. A trance medium was
consulted in his anxiety to locate
the gold, but further than that it ex-
listed and lay buried beneath the
tons Of rock the medium could not
say.
Whether the men who cached the
gold came during the night after the
discovery by the little girl and took
it away will never be known, but the
theory that it was lost among the
sliding rocks seemed to be most
plausible. Day after day, the man
returned to see if another crash Of
rocks would not bring it to view, but
nothing other than disappointment
ever met his efforts
In April, 1895, the Hope mine,
rom which the gold was thought to
lave been taken, burned and seven
miners lost their lives through suf-
location. The hosting works were
lever rebuilt nor the property ever
sgain worked.

Butte ailor, After 40
Years w aiting Strikes
A Rich Lead of Ore

A tailor forty years in Montana,
investing his earnings year after
year in mining property near
Marysville, William Oerlet, who
conducts a shop in Butte, recently
received several assay reports that
give an Indication of the fulfil
ment of his LIES dream, and re-
alization of his investment which
he made year after year with the
money he worked for.
A vein struck a few days ago il
the Florence mine, returned assay
reports from $12 to $40 a ton in
gold and an average of five ounces
of silver to the ton. The most pro-
missing angle of the new strike is
that the lead is 35 feet wide and the
character of the ore is like all ore
found in the Marysville district
free milling and easy to treat.
Mr.. Oerlet and associates control
five claims in the Maryscvile dis
trict known as the Sires Mining COM
pany. The property is located in
Saw Mill gulch, on the same noun
tain as is located the famous Drum
Lummon, but on the opposite side.

Musselshell V ALLEY is
Scene OF A Typical
Buffalo Chase When
Private Herd Stray

The Musselshell valley which
once roamed thousands of buffalo,
was recently the scene of buff
falo hunt which lasted for two days
and ended in the foothills of the
Crazy mountains, southeast of
Harlowton, with the killing of an
Infatuated buffalo bull, and the re-
capture of a herd of buffalo cows
belonging to Major Wallace Heide-
koper of the American ranch.
The chase had all the thrills of
the early-day buffalo hunt-the days
when Central Montana was the
common hunting ground for the sew
eral tribes of these plains, accord
ing to the few old timers who parti-
cipated in the chase.
The buffalo herd broke loose from
their grazing grounds on the Am
erican ranch and disappeared to the
west. A hunting party under the
leadership of Major Huidekoper
Immediately started a search and
tried to affect a roundup. The herd
was located in the foothills of the
Crazy mountains. The big bull and
leader of the herd was found to
be in such a state of wild frenzy that
that he could not be handled He
charged the horsemen at a quarter
mile distance.
The maneuvering of the riders
did not seem to result in much
Roadway being made towards getting
the animals rounded up and started,
and after being subjected to several
chargings by the Infatuated bull,
one of the cowboys from the Amer
lean ranch, attempted to round up
the herd when the bull again made a
rush and overlook him, ripping the
leather off his saddle and trying to
gore him. Rifles were then pro-
cured and the animal was dispatched
on the edge of the Big Elk canyon
at the head of the American ranch.
1t took several shots to kill him.
He was knocked down three times,
but got up each time and charged

were orders placed for millions of
dollars worth of oil producing and

we were informed was
that true with regard to Russia.

~ OMEWHERE near the picture
- esque little village of Basin, tina
- nestles among the boulder
strewn Rockies, within a stones
throw of the old Hope mine on the
Butte line of the Great Northern
railway, lies a powder can filled with
the purest gold. More than quarter
of century ago it was cached among
the rocks, and the story of how il
was dug from the earth and subse-
quently lost by a slide of rocks is an
interesting tale. There are a few
persons still living in Basin who
firmly believe that the treasure is
destined to again become the proper
ty of man and they have many times
diligently scar ched the steep noun
tain sides where it is hidden.
According to the story, nearly 80
years ago rich strike was made in
the Hope mine. Down on the 200
foot level, rich streak of gold was
uncovered, which was almost pure.
The vein of yellow metal was in the
shape of golden cross on the east
wall, and for a time its existence was
known only to a few. No word of
the discovery was waited above the
office of the owners, and the miners
who delved and dug beneath the
surface each day, brought up small
sacks of the ore which contained
nuggets.
1t will never be known just how
much gold was taken out of the
mine in this manner, but that there
was a great quantity there is little
doubt. Some say the miners who
knew of the existence of the precious
pay streak carried the sacks up
