INDIANS BLAME GODS FOR
DISAPPEARANCE OF MINER

OF Superstition may never return
say the Indians, who have held the
range in awe for generations, and
in many cases that has been true.
A powerful magnet has drawn
white men into the reeeSseS of the
mountain for more than so years.
Back there among the sheer, rocky
crags is concealed a gold mine of
fabulous value. 1t is known as The
Lost Dutchman.'
/ For years Ruth worked in WASH
/ ington and dreamed Of one day
! finding the phantom-like mine. Two
weeks ago he packed back from
Apache junction. Packers were in
structed to meet him with addition
al supplies. He failed TO appear.
] Alarm was felt and yesterday a sys-
tematic hunt started.
Sheriff Walter E. Layeen of Pinal
county assigned Gabriel Robles. 4
Mexican tracker. to lead the posse.
He is a peer among mountain men
but freely admits there is a lot
about Superstition he doesn't know.
We will do our utmost Sheriff
Laveen told the United Press. The
odds are about one in a 100 of find
ing him. That is peculiar country.
Canyons lead TO the lip of the
cliffs. You could be within 10 feet
of man and never sec him.
Indians, of value as guides in
most instances of this nature, arc
worthless in the present case. Like
their savage ancestors, Indians fear
Superstition and will not venture
near it.
The mine, sought so earnestly and
tragically. was located and worked
by Dutchman more than a half
century ago. He used to come from
the hills with gold-laden bags and,
after buying supplies, slipped into
the hills again.
Rumors Prove Fake
After one trip the Dutchman dis
appeared and prospectors from all
parts of the west started hunting
for his mine. It has been reported
found perhaps a thousand times,
causing new gold rushes, but time
always proved the error of such re-
ports.
Not even the approximate Ioca-
ton of THE Lost Dutchman" is
known. Somewhere, in vast terri
tory of sky-scrapping peaks and
lowly canyon floors it exists.
Superstition is forbidding coun-
try to veteran mountaineers. Ex-
perienced prospectors, knowing the
character of the country and
trained in depending on their own
efforts, have died seeking the mine.
Water holes are few. and miles
apart.
Ruth, an elderly city man, took a
tremendous risk, but he was conf
dent that the data and government
maps over which he had spent years
would lead him to the famous mine.
Mrs. Ruth was advised by tele-
graph of her husbands disappear
ance. She wired back an offer of
500 to the finder of Ruth or his
body.

PARIS, June 26. (U.P)-The Am
erican position on the Hoover war
debt plan. the complete fulfillment
of which has been endangered by
French reservations, was presented
to the French government by Sec
retary of the Treasury Andrew w.
Mellon at a luncheon with Premier
Pierre Laval and members of mis-
cabinet.
Before the luncheon, Mellon met
Pierre Etienne Flandin, French fl
nance minister, and exposed the
principles inspiring President Hoo
ver's proposition. He stressed the
point that the sacrifices offered by
the United States far surpass those
asked of any other power.
The French note replying to the
Hoover proposal was made public
this afternoon. Walter E. Edge. the
United States ambassador. handed
TO Premier Laval the reply of Presi-
dent Hoover to the French note,
which said:
THE American government ap-
preciates the cordiality of the
French governments response 10
the Presidents proposition and
hopes France will take advantage
of the presence of the secretary of
the treasury in Paris to discuss with
Ambassador Edge and Secretary
Mellon the various problems arising
out of President Hoover's original
proposition and the French answer.
Mr.. Edge and Mr.. Mellon are fully
advised regarding the views of my
government"
The luncheon was gay and amia-
BILE, with cordial discussion of the
subject but no detailed converse
tions No date has been set for
further conversations by Mellon,
but it probably will be tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, June 26. U.P)-
Secretary of State Stimson said to-
day that accomplishment of the
full measure of relief sought by
President Hoover's debtors holiday
program would require modification
of the French suggestions for max
ing it effective.
Stimson's statement was made
public by the state department ac-
companied by a translation of the
French reply to Mr.. Hoover's pro-
poSal. The nature of the French
answer had been discounted in
Washington in advance and was
not considered fundamentally to
have altered the general air of op-
timism among informed officials
After discussing the French atti-
tude Yesterday with Paul Claudel.
French ambassador, Stimson said
he had obtained encouragement
and today he said the evidence of
cooperation in the French note
gives every hope of success"
Stimson explained further nego-
tiation would be necessary and
that Secretary of Treasury Mellon
and Walter Z. Edge. American am
bassador, were engaged today in
with French officials in
Paris.
There are suggestions in the
proposed by the French
Stimson said. which
do not accomplish the full measure
Of relief TO debtor nations cores
ponding to the Presidents plan
must, therefore, be the subject of
further discussion that will bring

peratures in some sections of the
state went above 80 while in others
the storms drove them down to
more seasonable marks.
Crops Damaged
At least seven deaths were re-
ported in Chicago as due directly or
indirectly to the heat wave, several
were reported in st. Louis, where
the official temperature was 100
even. and others scattered about the
area of extreme heat brought the
total to around 20.
Two of the Chicago deaths were
drownings, one person was stricken
by the heat and fell off roof. and
the others died of heart disease.
Thousands upon thousands of
persons were driven to the beaches,
lakes and rivers in all midwestern
states. More than 100000 were es-
timated packed on Chicago's
beaches alone.
Crops, especially in Illinois, we're
reported suffering from the heat.
In western North Dakota and east
ern Montana there was a serious
added drought threat. The situation
in some parts of the northwest was
serious. Farm associations appeal
ed for federal aid.
Weather forecasts at Chicago and
other cities predicted the heat wave
would continue at least through to-
day and tomorrow, after which
rains and falling temperatures are
expected.
