Eight expeditions were made to find
the treasure between 1900 and 1892.
but most of them never reached the
desolate coast of the island. Those
that did found that the landmarks.
marked on the map, had been wiped
out by landslide.
Robert Louis Stevenson used the
place as the scene of Treasure
island" Simmons says, but the plum
der found in fiction really Is still
there"
Such items are not at all uncommon
in our newspapers and probably Will
continue to appear therein for many
years to come. For, among our most
cherished traditions Is the belief that
every pirate who sailed the main at
some time In his career buried part
covered it. And there wherever
"there" is) it lies to this day await
ing the lucky discoverer, whom
through blind chance or because he has
come across some old document which
puts him on the trail, it will enrich
ter of fact it is much more likely that
the average pirate squandered more
of his ill-gotten gains than he ever
buried, that not one ia ten Of all the
stories of buried treasure have the
slightest foundation in fact and that
more money has been spent In the
efforts to find this hidden wealth than
all the treasure which all the pirates
in history ever buried is worth.
But these facts, even If they could
be definitely established, probably
would fail to dim the lure Of the sup
posed buried treasure nor dampen the
enthusiasm of those who go out to
seek it. That lure and that enthusi-
asm are based upon universal human
weakness-the "get-rich-quick'' desire.
Perhaps Edgar Allen Poe is as much
responsible as any one for nourishing
the buried treasure angle Of that de-
sire. So long as the tradition of hid
den treasure on our coasts persists and
so long as his Gold Bug" is read by
successive generations of Americans,
so long will we have the great Ameri-
can sport of hunting pirate gold.
Only a year or SO ago Canadian
announced his invention of the metalo-
phone, an electrical "Gold Bug" which
could detect the presence of buried
metals even though they were con-
cealed beneath more than so feet of
solid rock. Immediately the word
went out that the metalophone was to
be used to find the buried treasure on
the historic Cocos island, which lies
in the Pacific ocean about 500 miles
southwest Of Costa RIGA and which
was a favorite lair of pirates In the
old freebooting days. In fact Cocos
island has been a magnet for treasure
seekers for many years because there

NEW YORK.-Residents of Asbury
Park and nearby villages are warming
up to hunt for pirate treasure as the
result Of the discovery by Percival G.
Ullman, Jr., of No. 90 Lake street.
Asbury Park, in that city of a fossil
ICED boot of the type worn by swash-
bucklers two centuries ago. Embedded
in the rock-encrusted boot Ullman
found a woman's gold ring, set with
large pearl
The boot was found near the spot
where a fiintlock carbine was picked
up month ago. A band of sea ma
rauders, led by a woman took refuge
short and was a ruthless plunderer,
the original "bobbed-hair bandit"
NEW ORLEANS-Mysteriou bands
of treasure hunters still range across
the Louisiana marshes. They are seek
ing the buried spoils of the pirate Jean
Lafitte.
The buccaneer is said to have cached
vast stores nf doubloons and pieces O..
eight along the great coastal stretch
southwest of New Orleans
Reported discovery of a buried treas
ure near Vermillion bay a year ago
caused considerable excitement.
One party of treasure seekers went
SO far as TO pull up a post set by gov
eminent surveyors, evidently believing
that the stake was one of the mark
ings made by LATTE.
1t is said that two members of La

pieces of eight, and other treasures Of
the Spanish Main, to the value of $780,
600, 900, lie buried on a South American
island, ready for the person who is
willing to dig, according to George
Finlay Simmons, curator OF orni-
thology of the Cleveland Museum of
Natural History, who has just returned
from the island. The cache includes
much golden plumber taken from the
Inca Indians by the Spaniards, who in
turn were robbed by the two pirates
who buried the loot a century ago on
the island off the coast of Brazil
One of the boards, Simmons says,
amounts to s40,Oo0,o00, and was buried
by the Spanish pirate, Jose Santos,
who captured ship laden with gold
and silver ingots. altar yestments and

Weekly Copper ReUiew
by CHARLES f. WILLIS,
Editor the Mining Journal

Copper has definitely reacted to the
publication of the March statistics on
production and buyers have been
brought into the market, purchasing
both for immediate and future de-
livery. The price has risen to 13 3h
cents and standing strong with pros
Epect of another increase.
The consumers of copper did not
seem to take stock in the reports that
copper production was being curtailed,
and it was not until the March figures
were made public that the consumers
could know just what the extent of
the curtailment was and how it might
affect their future buying.
The production of copper during
March for North and South America
totaled 1873, 241 tons, as against 1876
tons in January, the last month with
an equal number of days This pro-
duction, however, is in excess of any
of the months of last year, yet it
seems evident that it is sufficient to
put some backbone into the market.
The copper production of the world
dropped from 143,337 tons in January
to 7,036 tons in March. This drop in
production came almost entirely from
the mines of the United States, as
Mexico, Chile, Peru, Japan and Bel
giun had almost the same production
in March as they did in January.
The significant thing is that the
daily rate of production during March
was 4,422 tons, as against 4,743 tons,
daily in February. This figure was in
excess of the daily rate of world pro-
duction during 1926, which was 1885
tons.
In spite of a month of small buying
reported, the curtailment in the pro-
duction of copper during March was
sufficient to reduce the surplus of
refined copper by 1884 tons and the
stocks of blister copper by 1894 tons.
The March copper statistics were
startling. This is not from the point
of view of production curtailment as
everyone knew that that was being

JOINING NEW BRITAIN

The movement in Elm Hill for annexation to New Britain is a favorite movement and is not an attempt by New Britain to add to its population and importance. A similar movement at Maple Hill ex- pccted to eventuate, is in the same class. New Britain will welcome both beautiful suburbs if they should make their wishes articulate through an appeal to the next lesis lature; but the city will not attempt 10 'gobbIe up" it's neighbors against their wishes, as is so frequently the case in this state and elsewhere.
 New Britain would be delighted 10 possess these two beautiful sub urbs within it's boundaries and would endeavor to do we'll by them But the matter is entirely one for the residents to decide. They can weigh the advantages of being a part of the city and will have no trouble in coming to sensible con- clusion. The welcome sign is above the door.

been performed by Hindus and Chinese as long as 1000 B. c. The American Indians also played some kind of criss-cross game with | grains of corn when the first white men arrived on this continent. Magic squares played an important part in the occultism and mysticism of the Middle Ages. Q. From what book is the movie ''The Volga Boatman" taken? A. It was an original scenario written by Konrad Bercoyici for the screen and adapted by Leonore J. Coffee.
 e. How did the former Imperial House of Austria-Hungary, get the name Hapsburg?
 A. The supposition is that the name was derived from the castle of Habsburg. or Habichtsb0rg (Hawk's Castle). on the bank of the Aar. in the Swiss canton of Aar- gau. said to have been built about A. D. 1927 by Werner, Bishop of strassburg. His nephew. Werner I, was the first Count of Hapsbury; but the real founder of the house was Albrecht Cor AlberD III (about 1172) the son of Werner II.
 e. Before Parliamentary gov- ernment was established in Eng land did the King have absolute power.
 A. The English House of Lords dates from the Assembly which met in November 1925, known as the Model Parliament. Prior to 1265 when the first House of Commons was summoned by Earl Simon de Montford the Kings of England did not rule absolutely. They had ad- visory councils and generally acted after consultation. Although in early times kings were regarded as 'the fountain of all justice" they did not arrogate to themselves full authority.
 Q. What is the address of Max field Parrish, the artist?
 A. Windsor. Vermont
