w This conundrunl has never

lists ever since science came to
realize petroleunl's Importance.
Yet this mysterious oil which
comes from the earth. sometimes
as yellow as bright amber, some
times green, sometimes almost
midnight black has been an anaz-
ing factor in the approximation
OF today.
Without petroleum there would
be no speedy automobiles. no
swift moving trains. no high

out Petroleum America could
not build such big cities, for
quick transportation is the secret
OF their existence. Youth of the.
oil industry Is one Of its greatest
marvels. Great companies like
the Texas are less than Is years,
old, while Sinclair Is less than
half that age. Petroleum given

HOTAFTER
TREASURE
Strange Story of Hidden
Cavern Recalled by
Eskimo Visit.

Bu Times Special
BOONVILLE, Ind, Jan. ia
band of youthful treasure hunters to-
day awaited the return of the
strange "Eskimo"-"whose story this
week threw the town into q turmoil
before er6barking on an exciting
treasure hunt" right in Walrick
County.
Many here now believe that there
is gold and other treasure buried
near or in Bald Knob, a mound about
thirteen miles east of Boonville. And
youths of the city are determined to
get 1t II there is.
Eskimo Visits
A man who said he was Frank
LEIGH, an Eskimo of a tribe residing
near Point Barrow, Alaska, and a d.
rect descendant OF the ancient
mound builders who created Bald
Knob mound, appeared here sudden
ly a few days ago.
Twice he made trips to the Knob
and dug and searched in the vicinity.
He carried maps which he said re-
vealed the hiding place OF the treas
ure. The maps, he said. were made
by his 102-year-old grandmother, still
living at Point Barrow.
Then the stranger left Boonville
again, apparently unsuccessful in
his search for the treasures which
he said his ancestors, the mound
builders, buried when the savage
Indians drove them away, centuries
before Columbus came.
Hidden Cavern
The strange story of the Eskimo
has revived the half-forgotten expe-
rience of Earl hester. hester. in
1923, while walking on the Knob,
fell through a hidden opening into
what he said was a vast cavern.
In the darkness he stumbled over
many implements of stone and other
trinkets scattered over the floor of
the cavern. hester, in his explora-
ton, came across a den which was
filled with hundreds of live, blind
snakes.
At last the explorer managed to
find his way out OF the cave. The
next udy WHEN ne tOoh lTlcnuS 10
the Knob to show them the cavern
and substantiate his story he was I'M
able to locate the opening. No one
has found 1t since.
Perhaps the would-be treasure
hunters here fear those self-same
snakes, or possibly the dim ghosts of
the ancient mound builders-any-
way, they are holding off on their
expeditions in the hope that Frank
LEIGH, the Eskimo, will soon return.
