Ell PASO, Tex, Nov. 15.--Spurred
By the dream Of Pancho Villas
bloody gold, Mexican treasure seek
ers are feverishly digging away in
the 300-year-old Guadalupe church
in Ciudad Juarez, just across the
Rio Grande from here.
Trinidad Saenz. IN ~S4-year-old
Chihuahua rancher. started this rev
search for the late bandit ehieftain's
loot. SaenZ says that a beautiful
woman appeared to I'm in a dream
and told him to dig beneath the old
Juarez church and he would become
richer than anv mortal man.
Told of Dream Woman"
Saenz came to Juarez from his
ranch Is miles away ard told Hec-
tor n. Escolona. federal tax col
%lector. Of the dream woman. Esco-
Iona was convinced Of the treasure,
and the two. with some associates,
obtained permission from authori-
ties in Mexico City to make the
search.
CLOSED for repairs" signs were
placed on all the doors and workmen
began TO tunnel beneath the floor.
Inc laborers worked all Of the
first day, apparently in vain. Then
a shovel struck a wooden box, bad
~ decayed. 1t was unearthed and
the mummy of an infant found
within. More work and eighteen
skulls ard a pile Of human bones
lay beside the mummy.
The workmen are still digging,
but have found nothing indicating
the presence of Villas tabled loot.
Aged residents Of Juarez believe
that the bones unearthed are the re-
mains of conquistadores slain by the
Apache Indiars many years ago. No
bodies have been buried in the
church since colonial times, they
say.
Villas Reputed Wealth
Many efforts have been made in
northern Mexico to locate Villas
hoarde, but all have been unsuceess-
full. The bandit leader is said to
have amassed an immense fortune
during the ten years in which he
sacked towns. robbed trains, and
held foreigners for ransom in Som
ora. chihuahua ard Coahuila.
He had faith in no bank or bank
er. He CAPTURED most of his war
equipment from the federals and
made few gifts to his followers, but
after his assassination in 1928 his
family and federal authorities
could locate only a few thousand
pesos Of the fortune.
Juarez is as likely a place to look
for the hoard as any other. Villa
occupied the town, off ard on, all
of tho years Of his power, and made
his Headquarters there during the
period Of his greatest prosperity.

 The only evidence noted by marine aviators was that the rebel camp look ed as if death and dissolution had visited it.
 If alive, General Sandino could have fled thru the jungles to Honduras or down the Coro river to the Caribbean Sea.
 Since the Honduras government promised to allow no concentration of rebels on Honduran soil it is believed Sandino, if alive, is heading for the sea.

Editorial
DEMOCRATIC TERRITORIAL CONVENTION

In the various judicial divisions in Alaska there have been held conventions at which the divisional repre- sentatves of the Democratic party have selected Dele gates the Territorial Convention in Seward To many thinking persons the convention plan of party government is vastly superior in principle worka be from the standpoint of party organization and of paramount efficiency in the selection of party candidates than is the eefora primary system with it's attendant evil of an unlimited number of selfappointed, and self selected party candidates Whatever may be person al opinion this regard cannot fail to express due ap precaton of the loyalty to party traditions evidenced in the Democratic Territorial Convention.
 Our Territory needs the advice and assistance of those who merit party recognition and who stand high in the councils and local uni 'o"+'"al party hold ing it's, meeting here.
 It would seem to be a matter puyv---2 t the immediate future of the growth and development and merited prosperity of Alaska is in the hands of two major political parties and resting entirely, upon final anaySls with the members of the Congress of the United States Departmental officials have large share in the formula tion of policies the expenditure of appropriated funds and the execution of the details of federal supervision and control
 It is, however, also thai the Congress would with alacry and cheerfuness assign and transfer the burden of Alaskan legislation to properly organized unit of government having to do only with such eglsa ton On the other hand officials having duties with ref erence to Alaska, only human, and hardly can be blamed for their desire retain office and the salary incident thereto which salary apparently the larger part of the appropriations secured from busy Congress-
 We then emphasize the need and necessity of party organization in Alaska The individual efforts of any of citizens agents however brilliant, forcefu and industrious such agent individual may be- fail to attain other than localized beneficial results.
 We believe effective party organization can accom- psh more for Alaska in one year ot tme than all the individual efforts of any number of it's efficient citizens can accomplish in the period of 20 years.
 If the above is true, and think it is true without serious dispute the convention in Seward of transcend importance of serious moment and of paramount sig nificance to the future growth development and plotaton of Alaska and to the prosperity and continued residence of it's people,
 So for the members of the Seward Democratic Club flor the citizens and residents of Seward this publication has the honor to extend sincere and hearty welcome to the honorable Delegates of the Democratic Territorial Convention of and for the Territory of'Alaska.
