Pixies Told of Treasure.

Superstitious beliefs still linger IN
the remote villages of Cornwall, and
the tenacity with which many Of the
Cornish folk cling to them Is strilf-
ingly illustrated by remarkable
story of a search for hidden treasure
which comes from Wendron.
Nearly half century ago an old
lady named Varker lived in cot
tage at Lower Bodily, in the parish
of Wendron, which had the reputa-
ton of being haunted by ghosts. One
night she declared that two pixies
had paid her a visit and told her that
vast treasure was hidden beneath the
cottage.
With the reputation which the
humble dwelling had for being
haunted, the story was received with
considerable credence in the district.
It made such an impression on her
two sons that they Immediately COM
menced to excavate for the treasure.
Taking up the floor Of one Of the
rooms, they sank g shaft to the depth
Of several fathoms. Water invaded
the shaft and pumps and other apph-
ances were erected for draining and
hauling. The premature death Of one
Of the brothers led to the abandon
ment of the operations without any
treasure being discovered.
Now, after the lapse of forty years,
the search for the supposed hidden
treasure has been resumed by w. Fl.
Varker, resident Of Goldsithney and
grandson of the old lady who held
communication with the pixies. IN
the interval the cottage has been
demolished, but Mr.. Varker has To-
Gated the site, and with the help Of
another man from the neighborhood
is engaged in sinking shaft.
The excavations already extend to
a depth Of twenty-four feet, of which
Z seventeen feet is vertical and the re-
mainder on an Incline Pumps and
machinery are in course of erection
and the explorer is sanguine of sue
cess.
Some of the older folk in the dis
trict entertain the belief that the
cottage marked the site of Snug
gler's den and that the sinking Of
the shaft will lead to the discovery Of
underground passages. - London
Chronicle.

Endeavoring to find pass
through the mountains on a recent
trip, party followed the indian
trail and signs and were led course
which passed three springs and some
old breastworks which Indians had
used to hide behind when lying in
wait for mountain sheep. One of the
first gold excitements was back In
the fifties, when Breyfogle found line
free gold, but was unable to return
to the exact spot. He was afterward
hit with stone hurled by an indian
which is supposed to have injured
his brain.
Beatty has expressed the opinion
that the Breyfogle find was between
Willow Springs and the Original
Bullfrog. Charlie Nyman thinks it is
between Keane Springs, Willow
Springs and Death Valley, while one
of Rreyfogle's party described Hole

to have been used by Breyfogle are
located about eighteen miles south
of Rhyolite. Another legend is Of an
Indian who went into Cerro Gordo
with a rock full of free gold, which
he. sold for IS. The white men tried
to get him to tell where he found 1t,
but the Indian was wise and kept its
location to himself He was acct
dentally killed short time after
while hunting sheep, and the secret
died with him. Some think this find
was the same as Breyfogle's.

and at other times the shifting sands
