Hope 10 Partition
Poland Without War
Rises Among Nazis
Reports From London une
Warsaw Encouraging,
Soy Berlin Circles
By WALLACE r. DEUEL..

ny WALLACE II. DEUEL.,
Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent
BERLIN, Aug. 81 (By Radio -
The Nazis' hopes rose over the week
end that they will be able to parti-
ton Poland without becoming in
volved in major war in the process.
Information reaching Berlin from
both London and Warsaw indicates
that opposition to Germany is
weakening, it was said in party
quarters here.
Justified, to what extent 1t Is wish
full thinking, and to what extent it
Is what the Germans call optimism
With purpose"-in this case the
purpose Of undermining Police
morale-remains to be seen. The
Nazis do, however, seem to have
some reason to believe that the Brit
1sh are prepared to meet Germany
halfway" on the Polish issue and
that London has become convinced
that there is not much more time
left for trying to do so.
Ao"0 I dItIlIOH.
The chief obstacle to trying ito
meet Germany halfway" however
is That Germany is never there when
the others arrive. For the Nazis as
sumo that If the others are willing
TO go half way early in the develop
ment OF a crisis, they will 90 the
whole way wnen the final showdown
comes. So the further the others
seem willing to go the further thew
Will be called upon to go.
Rightly or wrongly, the Nazis are
convinced that England would agree
10 the German annexation of Dar1zip
tomorrow. But this does not make
the Nazis any more willing than they
were before to accept Danzig and
stop there. Quite the contrary. It
convlnces the Nazis that thew can
go ahead with large-scale partition
OF all Poland. And this, ACCORDINGLY
is what they are driving toward
now.
II the Nazis are wrong in all these
calculations and If Britain and
France really will fight rather than
back down on the issue of the parti-
ton OF Poland, the world is probably
IN for a nerve-racking time in the
next few weeks because the chances
are that the Nazis neither can or
Will draw back now.
The German press today reports
that Prime Minister Neville Cham
pertain has returned to London
earlier than expected and points to
this as one sign that the British are
nervous" and are beginning to
crack" under the strain of the war
of nerves.
This alleged British nervousness
already has gone so far that London
may refuse to include guarantee
for Danzig in the Anglo-Polish
treaty Of alliance due to be signed
this week, the National Zeitung of
Essen claims today.
The week which has now begun
will bring decision on this point
as we'll as on other important ques-
tions," the National Zeitung asserts
with what apparently is meant to be
an ominous air.

tainS the Indians were camped and
HulbIrt fled to the south into q wilder
ness where it Is probable no white man
had ever set foot before.
In his haste to escape he made no
mental note of the country by which he
could return to the place. Travelling
for many days he at last came to where
he could see out onto the open prairie.
Hoping to strike a trail of some sort
he pushed boldly out In the direction
where he thought he would strike the
old Oregon trail he had Travelled to CAL
ifornia is years before.
After Is days he came to the cross
ing of the Platte river at ReShaw
bridge which was about three miles
west of where the city Of Casper now
stands and about 80 miles above Fort
Laramie. Here he met the first white
men he had seen for almost two years.
The whole intermountain country was
then on fire with the reports of the
rich diggings on GraSshOpper and
Alder creeks in Montana, and at the
bridge he met a big stampede coming
IN the Platte bound for Montana. He
Joined this party and started back. He
told to some of them his discovery and
showed them the gold he had brought
out. The party split and Hulburt was

mitted that he was lost and had no
idea where the mine was. They never
found the mine and became so enraged
at Hulburt that he would have been
lynched but for one man who held
them at bay with revolver.
The Indians were harassing the party
Loft
most of them hurrying to Virginia City,
and that section Hulburt was last seen
in that city in the fall Of 1854. That
Hulburt had the gold there Is no ques-
ton, for hundreds Of people saw 1t.
Many different men have hunted for
this old Lost Cabin mine, among them
Anthony Paige Comstock Pancake)
who outfitted in Nevada and went into
1 the Big Horns searching for 1t. The
/ expedition was a failure and Comstock,
/ from disappointment OF other causes
! took his own life while camped near
BOzeman, and the exact location OF his
| grave is unknown.
| It is believed that Father Jean Pierre
/ DeSmet learned of this great deposit OF
/ gold from the Indians, but while he
4 said at one time: Il know where gold
exists in the Rocky mountains In such
abundance that, If made known, tt
would astonish the world. 1t is even
richer than Californian The reverend
father would never reveal its location.
He often, 1t is said, admitted to army
officers and others that he knew where

so rich in gold, as did the old trapper

Buford, Dakota, died at his home
in HarIowtOn, recently, of leakage

freighted between Billings and Bercail,
located in what is now northeastern
Wheatland county In the southern
foothills of the Snowy mountains, and
between Bercail and Castle, then a
thriving mining camp in what is
Meagher county but now a ghost town.
Bob Leavens Of Billings was associated
with him.
While thus engaged he established

Despite those who bemOan the al
