Fortunately, enough air was stored in tanks to last until they reached the surface—but diving operations had to stop. Again, it seemed the curse bestowed on the fabled gold by Montezuma was working, Mr. Williamson’s expedition has been aelayed and hampered a dozen times, each time by a new difficulty. High winds, rain squalls, the war —and more recently a rumored threat of a Mexican claim to the gold—have upset his plans. Mr. Williamson believed it would be three or four days before parts for the compressor could be obtained. He telephoned his headquarters in California for replacement parts for the machine he designed himself, He blamed over-anxiety to reach the gold for the breakdown, saying that he overloaded the compressor by forcing it to supply air to three divers and their pneumatic drills, and power for their lights.

The magistrate’s court there can issue affidavits for prosecution in any part of Marion county. The murder charge originally filed against Pollard in Boone county, where Miller's severed hands and crippled foot ‘were first discovered, was to be dismissed today. Miller's torso was burned in a cabin fire at Ladoga, Ind, in Montgomery county.
