GOLD SEEKERS OF
 TANK CANYON IN
 UTAH HAVE WON
Gardner Family Has Fought That Canyon Since 1880 and Finally Has Succeeded

American Fork, Utah, Aug 12. (UP)-A strange fcud of half q century between Il rugged canyon and several generations of family of gold seekers, has ended. The goldseekers finally won.
 Fifty-fve years ago, Rawsell Gardner, who had Il saw mill in Tank Canyon, picked up n speci- men of queer looking rocks, which he took to town during the winter and found assayed as high as high as $l00,000 ton fin bright. yellow gold.
 When spring thawed the snows and opened Tank Canyon to travel, Gardner went back to find his "mine" and dig out q fortune.
 But nature had planed a trick on Rawsell Gardper, and slides and floods had changed the canyons contour, and the saw mill operator was unable to find the spot where he had picked up the gold.
 With his brothers, Joseph, 1ie- bert, and Robert, hc searched, stolidly at first, then frantically for the vein of gold.
 The search became tradition with the Gardner family. Sons of the brothers were educated as min ing engineers. Sons of those sons followed in the profession. Always the hunt went on for the Host mine"
 Now after all these years, Royal Gardner, and his son, Kenneth. both mining engineers, have brought rock from Tank Canyon assaying up to $1,700 ton in gold.
 It did not compare to the find made by Rawsell, back in 1880, but 1t did mark the re-discovery or gold by the Gardner family in Tank Canyon. And gave them vic tory at last over the country which had held its secret from them for so long.
 Royal Gardner has formed a mining company and a small mum Der of miners have been sent into the canyon. The mine lies in a iis- sure.
 Tho gold bearing vein is some 12 feet wide, and the Gardners be- lieved that as they follow it they will eventually strike the almost unbelievably rich vein where Raw sell found his specimen.
 Long known as the lost Gardner mine, the story had been banded about for years by prospectors un- ti! it had come to be looked upon almost as q myth until the present discovery. Now q genuine rush" is on.

''CREAT WALL" OF PERU HAS BEEN
 DISCOVERED
Expedition Has Completed II Months Search- Traced Wall for Thirty Miles

New York, Aug. 12-(UP) The Shippce Johnson Peruvian cxpedi- ton, which is winding up II months of explanatory and photo- graphic work among the Incan ruins of western South America, has described in detail the great walI of Peru which it first dis covered last May
 When discovery of the wall first was announced, Andean authori- ties doubted It's existence. The ex- plorers trnvcd it for about 90 miles, taking aerial photographs. Next they examined 1t more carefully on on foot.
 "Thc wall begins n flower part of Santa valley" their message from Lima, Peru, said, "near ruins of n small Inca village several miles from the sea. The hcgiht, which must have been about l2 or 1b feet when built, now averages seven. It is constructed of small irregular rocks, ccmGnted with mud"
 If the great wall is of Chimu or Yunca origin. as is thought. tt is of the pre- Inca period and there fore of far greater importance than Incan relics. according to archaeol- ogists.
 The wall is believed to have been a defense erected by the Yunc0s. who, ruled by the Grand Chino, held tho power over Peru before tho Incan invasion.
 The expedition plans to leave from Cnllao on August 20, arriv- ing in New York on Labor day.
 The expedition tx headed by Rob ert Shippce of Red Bank, N. J., and George R. Johnson of Monmouth Beach, N. J.
 With them are Irving Hay. pilot. and Valentine Van Kcuren, civil engineer. both of Red Bank. and Max Dlstel. mechanic, of Babylon. l.. l.
