The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1934-02-23


gan nearly hundred years ago.
Ten feet below the surface the dig
gers came upon oak timbers. Ten
feet lower they struck a framework
of oak. There seemed no doubt but
that they were excavating an old
shaft. Down they went, and at a
depth of 80 feet unearthed a fiat
stone 3 feet long and 16 inches wide.
On this these words were cut:
TEN FEET BELOW TEN MILLION
POUNDS ARE BURIED"
Night was closing down when this
discovery was made. The diggers
returned to their tents, crazy with
excitement. At dawn next morning
they were back at the pit, to find il
full nearly to the brim with salt wa
ter. The sea had broken in.
A new company was formed,
pumps were obtained, but no pump
could cope with the Atlantic ocean.
More and more money was poured
out by the shareholders, a great
Golfer dam was erected, and a con-
siderable force of men was EMPLOYED
on the work of recovering the treas
ure.
Right up to 1914 there were a num-
Der of men with modern machinery
and steam pumps at work, yet, for
all the treasure that was recovered
the money might as well have been
flung into the sea.
There, however, was the stone with
its inscription. Can anyone imagine
a pirate digging a hole 80 feet deep
simply for the purpose of playing a
practical joke on posterity?
One day in the autumn of the year
1888 there sailed into Tobermory bay
the stately if somewhat battered
Spanish galleon Florencia. Hard
blows had failed to teach her brag-
CART captain manners, and he sent a
boat ashore, demanding provisions.
We have no space here to tell the
whole story of the Spaniards' quar-
rel with big Lachlan" and his hard
bitten followers, but in the end the
Spanish vessel was blown up and
sank at her moorings, carrying down
treasure of value estimated at a
million of modern money.
Efforts to recover that treasure
began in the Seventeenth century
and have continued ever since. While
it is Impossible to form any accurate
estimate of the amount spent on the
search we should probably be well
within the mark if we said 100000.
So far, all that has been found
is a bronze cannon, some vessels of
pewter and silver, two golden Cob
lets, and few coins. Today the
wreck is sunk so deep in the mud
that all trace of it has vanished.
To most of us treasure hunting Is
pure romance. and it is very difficult
to realize the number of those who
take it seriously. Yet at this minute,
while you read these lines, there are
hundreds of persons actively engaged
in treasure seeking. They are search
ing the sandy Gays Of the Caribbean,
hunting for lost mines In the western
states and Mexico, digging among the
"Tapadas," the ancient tombs of
Chile and Peru. while the search for
gold among the ruined cities of At
RIGA and Asia is never ending.
From the lone prospector with his
pick and shovel to the well-equipped
steam yacht with the newest inven-
lions for metal detection, all these
people spend their lives and fortunes
in chasing the will O. the wisp Of
treasure.

quest of the Presidency in 1924, and he backed former Governor Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic candidate for President in 1928.
 Was Independent
 Another show of the Senator's independence was in the United States Senate in 1929, when he made one of his outstanding ad- dresses in that body against the Kellogg pact for outlawing war. He alone held that it would be favorable to the British and an empty gesture so far as the pro- motion of peace was concerned.
 Senator Blaine was born May 4, 1875, in a log cabin in Grant County, Wisconsin, and was reared on a farm. He chose the law as his profession and began prac- tice at Boscobel after being grad tlated in 1896 at Northern Indiana University at Valparaiso, Ind. On

JOE E. BROWN IS I'LL ARlOUS AS
 U. s. NAVY 'C0B'
Son of a Sailor Playing at Capitol Is Crammed with
 Laughs and Chuckles

Capitol Theatre audiences on Sunday and last evening are still laughing and chuckling over the antics of Joe E. Brown, inimita- ble comedian in his funniest pie ture, Son of Sailor" which is the attraction there for the last times tonight.
 As the title indicates thls IS a picture of naval life. Joe has the role of an over-imaginative sailor whose vanity and boastfulness lead him into more scrapes than you can shake a stick at.
 Many scenes in the comedy were taken aboard the U. s. s. Sara toga. an airplane carrier of the Pacific fleet, which was loaned to the company for the occasion. Eleven hundred gobs, who make up the crew of the warship, had the time of their lives in watching Joe work. They also took part as extras and as atmosphere in some of the sequences.
 There are also a large number of movie gobs in the picture in addition to Joe. Jean Muir, who plays the leading feminine role, is not a gob, but she is the daugh- ter of an admiral and the sweet heart of a sailor. Others in the cast include Hhelma Todd, Frank McHugh, Johnny Mack Brown, Sheila Terry, George Blackwood, Merna Kennedy, Samuel Hinds, Noel Francis, Kenneth Thomson, Arthur Vinton and George Irving.
 Lloyd Bacon directed the pie ture.

One of the moso startling love tn m es ever presented on the screen will be unfolded at the Coliseum Theatre today with the showing of the First National pie ture, Female with Ruth Chat terton in the stellar role
 This story, by Donaud Hender- son Clark, is not of one love, but of many. It reverses the role of the philandering male, with Miss Chatterton playing the part of the huntress who casts cool and calculating eye on the handsome young men she selects for her vampish, nocturnal adventures.
 These are mostly employees of her own concern, for she is a big business woman who heads an au- turnobile manufacturing plant. She is as ruthless in love as in her fi- nancial dealings. for she careless ly casts the young men aside as soon as she tires of them and they

try to carry the courtship into the office.
 As Alison Drake, the business executive, she feels that she is a super-woman who is not bound by the ordinary conventions of the world about her. It is not until she discovers there is one man who will not succumb to her wiles that she wakes up to the fact that her slant on life is twisted one. Not in long while has Ruth Chatter ton offered so powerful a portray al and so moving a drama.
 George Brent plays the leading masculine role, his fourth time opposite Lois Wilson, Ruth Don nelly, Ferdinand Gootschalk. John ny Mack Brown and Philip Reed. The picture was directed by Will liam Dieterie from a screen play by Gene Markey and Kathryn Scola.
 Fighting Code" is the second big feature on the double bill at the Coliseum Theatre tonight and tomorrow It is an action picture with plenty of thrills and excite ment and good complement to the more sophisticated Ruth Chat terton feature picture.

August 23, 1904, the Senator mar ried Anna c. McSpadden, of Bos- cobel. She was an active leader in Progressive women's circles.
 From Sman Tcwn
 The practice of a small town lawyer and the farm might have divided Senator Blaines attention throughout life had he not been to the leadership of the elder LaFollette. Joining the Sen ator's forces, he took an active interest in politics, serving his ap- as Mayor of Boscobel and as a member of the County Board of Supervisors. The seniors of the La Toilette group began to pay attention to him and he was named for the State Senate
 After serving two years at At torney General, Senator Blaine in 1920 became a candidate for Gov ernor with the backing of the Non-partisan League. He won the nomination from a large field, was elected and twice reelected.
 In 1926, Blaine turned his eyes toward Congress and opposed Sen ator Ervine E. Lenroot for the Re publican nomination. Lenroot, an arch foe of the Progressives, had been reelected in 1920 despite their opposition. Blaine, in his campaign for the nomination in 1926, stressed Senator Lenroot's of the Prohibition amend ment and American adherence to the World Court, and won the

COMMUNITY METHODIST
CHURCH

The Sunday school last Sunday
had it's best attendance in several
months. Christmas is near, and
some new people moved to town.
Christmas as the birthday of the
greatest and best person ever on
earth should give the central place
to Christ. Our buying, our giving,
our gatherings, our pleasures should
not crowd Him out.
Next Sunday evening at 7:30 the
young people of the Epworth League
will assist the pastor in a special
service using Christmas hymns from
various nations. The offering, will
be for World Service carried on in
the name and for the sake of our
Lord.
