HUNT FOR OLD
MINES STARTS
NEAR CLIFTON

CLIFTON, April "a lost mine and
treasure vault which have baffled
prospectors for So years and more than

in excess of 100000 buried by pros
pectors in the early eighties when
about to be attacked by Apache In

At least Is men have gone insane
trying to find the lost mine, known as
! Adams Diggings,' supposed TO be
located some place between Clifton
and the Mogollon country in New
Mexico, and one man is said to have
shot himself because he had sworn he
would find that mine or die.
The annual hunt for the Adams dig
gings started earlier this year than
usual, according to Dud Eldridge, a
cattleman on Dix creek, northeast of
Clifton, resident of this country since
1887, who was in Clifton today. He
recalled the story of the diggings that:
Adams, his partner and eight other
prospectors with burro pack left

The cream of the track talent of
the country will gather in the

Kansas relays.
Colleges and universities in Is
states have signified their intention
of being. represented at this middle
western sport classic. The territory
covered by the entry list in 1926
stretched from Minnesota to Texas
and from California to Indiana
Instituted five years ago, the
Kansas relays quickly became one
of the outstanding events of the
track season. The weather has
favored its sponsors each year-the
mean temperature for the five-year
period being IS degrees-and the
possible for large number of schools
to be represented.
Harry L. Gill, veteran track coach
of the University of Illinois, will
act as referee this year.
The quarter mile oval with it's
220 yard straightaway-sai to be
one of the fastest tracks in the
country-makes for real speed. Last
year Locke of Nebraska licked off
the 100 yard dash in 9.6 seconds,
Osif Haskell won the 5000 meters
run in 9:O3.5 and Tanner of Occidental
SKINNED over the 100 yard high
hurdles in 1875 seconds. John Kuck
of the Kansas State Teachers college
at Emporia heaved the 16 pound shot
40 feet 2h inches.
Kansas won the 44O yard rleay
last year in AZ seconds; Nebraska
won the $50 yard in 1886, Iowa the
mile in 1920, Northwestern the two
mile in 1868, Illinois the four mile
in 1888 and Iowa State the medley
in 7:42.S.

year includes four classes, university,

the most of the gold under cabin

In the absence of the eight men
Apache Indians attacked Adams and

to Tucson and later went to California.

version follows: A party lof about 20

from rich placers in the Mogollon
country to Clifton when they discov-

WANTS FUNERAL
CARS LIGHTED

Reiterating proposal made sew
eral months ago, Walter a. Gawier,
local mortician, has laid before Traf-
fic Director william II. Hariand a
pied that the District traffic regu-
lations be broadened to make pro.
vision for the designation OF funeral
cortege vehicles bg the burning ok
their headlights.
Recalling that this proposal last
winter was given the approval Of
n. o. Eldridge, Mr.. Gawler de-
clares It has been used since by his
organization and proved to be the
most effective method Of identi-
flying funeral vehicles to assure
against disruption Of the line by
other motor cars.
Designation of cars forming the
funeral procession in this manner,
which received much favorable
comment from motorists and citi-
zene generally when 1t first was
proposed, already has been adopted
III several other cities. Prominent
among them, Mr.. GawIer says. are:
Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Richmond,
Va, Kansas City, and Galveston
and San Antonio, Tex.
The proposal already has been
given the approval Of the traffic
council and has been recommended
to the Commissioners, says Mr..
Gawler's letter which concludes:
