Sunken Craft ls Located.

The sunken wreck of the steamer Rio, which went down in Golden Gate, off San Francisco, last May, has been located by Diver Sorensen. In December, when the currents and tide are favorable, he will dive again hoping to pick up something to prove his assertion. The wreck is in very deep water and his scheme is to warp the vessel toward shore by cables and then to raise her. On board are $400,000 worth of raw silk and $40,000 of block tin, besides $60,000 of general cargo. There are also in the safe Consul General Wildman's official papers, which the government is anxious to obtain.
