FRANCE TAKES
Good CARE OF
COLD TREASURE
Water Flows Beneath and
Above Strong Box of
Paris Bank.
BY MINOTT SAUNDERS
NEA Service Writer

PARIS. Nov. 9.-Underneath a
vacant lot, strewn with rubbish, off
the rue Croix des Petis Champs
here, lies the worlds greatest gold
mine. 1t is fool-proof. burglar
proof, bomb-poof, with water
flowing above and beneath it. A
formidable fortress, it is the new
strong box Of the bank of France.
Construction of this vault re-
quired three years, with night and
day shifts of 1900 men, Access to
it is gained through the bank Of
France, only a few blocks from the
Avenue de POpera.
At the third endorsement there
is wall of reinforced concrete
twenty-five feet thick. A secret COM
bination opens steel door weighing
eight tons, revealing a passageway
four feet wide and eight feet high.
This is blocked by a steel buffer of
the same thickness as the wall, and
to move this buffer inward on
tracks requires the force Of an cleo
trio locomotive.
Only trusted guards familiar with
the mechanism can operate this
machinery.
Arranged in Compartments
Inside the fortress there are vari-
GUS sections, separated by huge steel
doors. On either side of long cor
ridors are compartments in which
the gold treasure is stored.
Each compartment is capable OF
holding 100000 francs in 100-franc
gold pieces, but at present most OF
the compartments contain an equal
value in gold ingots, chiefly Amer
lean and English.
The concrete-walled cave is
labyrinth covering two and a half
acres and is $50 feet deep. Sixty
feet from the surface there is a
layer of concrete nineteen feet thick.
chambers OF the vault could be
flooded and in that way save the
treasure.
