Seek Millions In Old Panama

Dig for Treasure Buried When Henry Morgan’s Pirates Sacked Town. Balboa, Canal Zone.—ln the junglecovered ruins of the ancient city of Old Panama, English and American explorers are now engaged in a scientific search for several million dollars worth of buried treasure which, history records, was hid'len there when tlie pirate. Henry Morgan, sacked and burned the town in 1671, writes Roy G. Blank in the Chicago Tribune. A remarkable radio gold locator, invented by Thomas Fahie of Colchester, England, is being used by the explorers, who have already unearthed three minor troves containing golden ornaments worth thousands of dollars. The Instrument is like a radio receiving set in appearance. It is. In fact, a sort of ground radio, and it records accurately tlie presence of nonmagnetic metals underground. One wire, attached to a rod. is grounded. Another rod is passed over the surface of the ground. When gold or other nonmagnetic metals occur beneath the surface between the two poles a needle indicates its presence, which is . also recorded by. a distinct humming in the ear phones. British Officer in Charge. Lieut. George Williams, it. N. V. R„ Is at the head of the treasure hunting expedition. He has a fouryear concession from the government of Panama with the understanding that Panama is to retain one-fourth of all treasure located during that period. other members of the expedition are Waiface Bain. American; Commnnder David Blair, F. R. G. S.. and Lieut. F. W. Kealey. R. N. V. it. At the request of Lieutenant Williams. the Panatnan government has detailed armed police guards for day and night duty in the Jungles where the explorers are encamped. A s i presentntive of the President of , Panama has also pitched a tent alongside their, camp and is watching their work to see that the treasure Is dlvide<| evenly. * The police guards were requested by Lieutenant Williams when he discovered that large-scale unauthorized excavations were being carried out on sites where his instruments had Indicated the presence of gold. Finds Gold Ornaments. After testing among the ruins to convince himself that there was gold there. Lieutenant Williams delivered to the president of Panama several hundred dollars’ worth of antique golden ornaments which be had’ unearthed. He marked many other sites where his instrument indicated the presence of gold and returned to the city for more laborers and adequate camping equipment. .. To his surprise, on returning to the jungles' a fortnight later with scores of laborers ready to begin digging. Lieutenant Williams found six enormous excavations among the ruins and at the" exact sites where his instruments indications were positive. One hole had been dug 15 feet deep. Another. drilled through solid rock, disclosed the presence of a large subterranean tunnel and revealed that secret excavations had been carried out on a large scale during his absence. It was then that Lieutenant Williams requested police protection. Sees Signs of Success. When the explorers again tested these places the Instrument registered negative. Indicating that nonmagnetic metals, believed by Lieutenant Williams to have been gold treasure, had been removed. The fact that the secret excavations were carried out on such a large scale and that the diggers continued to work in six different, places after they had opened the first hole, leads Lieutenant Williams to believe that the excavations met with encouraging success. Exquisite golden ornaments of very an«?ht design, studded with diamonds. emeralds, sapphires and rubies, have been unearthed already. A golden butterfly three inches across, with rabies for eyes, and the wing designs of other precious stones, is one of the ornaments that has attracted much comment. Other pieces of treasure Include gold collars, necklaces studded with precious stones, sol’d gold balls two Inches in diameter, attached to chains which are quite puzzling, crucifixes, and a miniature, ark of the covenant nearly six inches square, AU gold has been locked up In the Panaman treasury for division after the end of the four years of work. Mysterious Tunnel. The explorers are now engaged In pumping the water out of a mysterious subterranean tunnel which has many passages branching out from beneath an old monastery toward the

MORE THAN 1,000 WOLVES WERE KILLED LN THE TEXAS DRIVE o "

< Poison Used to End Lives of Marauding Animals In Big Bend Country. Marfa. Texas.—More than one thousand wolves were killed Id the Big Bend region of Texas in a ten days’ poisoning campaign conducted by Henry Lindley. It required 40.000 baits to bring about the wholesale death of these predatory animals. The mixing of the poisonous baits was done under the supervision of C R Landon of the predatory animal control division of the United States biological survey. The poison dose consisted of 50 per cent strychnine placed upon a piece of fresh fat pork, two Inches square and one-fourth of an inch thick. The animals seemed to have a special liking for the port and they came out of j the mountains Id great numbers and 1 ’ -

other churches, convents and schools. The tunnel is as yet inaccessible, but it promises to reveal some startling architecture as wed as. perhaps, the biggest gold hoard. Prescott records the fabulous millions which were brought across the isthmus from the conquered Incas. From Peru and Potosi and from the mines of Veraguas came the gold for transportation across the narrow neck of land which separates the Caribbean from the Great South sea. Pedraria the Cruel, who Is said to have accounted for over 2,000.(MX) Indians. founded the ancient city of Old Panama, which became the storehouse sos the bullion of Peru and the silks and spices of the Orient. Diego de Albites, strapded on the north coast, founded, quite by accident, what became the stronghold of Nombre de Dios. Road Across Isthmus Built. Between these two points a road across the isthmus was constructed, passing over the great Continental divide, through the dense tropical jungle, over swamps, and up the steep sides of bills down to the open savannah country around the olden city of Panama. The trail was known as the Camino Real or royal road, but a more fitting name for it would have been the Blood road, j For more than ISO years the long mule trains packed gold across this road like cordwood. A gold train usually consisted of 1,000 mules, gayly caparisoned and with jingling bel|s, each with its load of gold. In the van and at the rear marched armed men. -while with the mules strings of Indians and African slaves stumbled albng under the lashes of their drivers, aiyl it can well be said that the Camino Real was paved with dead men's bones and every inch of the way was stained with blood. • Many of the slaves escaped, taking to the jungles, where they banded together as the Cimarones, to harass their former masters. As Cimarones the former slaves attacked and robbed the gold trains repeatedly. Later, ruled by a black king and commanded by captains, they became the allies of English and French pirates who supplied them with arms to the common end. and the flow of gold paid a steady tribute to these adventurers. Marauders Die With Soods. Tn this way not all the gold that left Old Panama reached Nombre de Dios; nor did all that fell into the hands of the pirates reach the Atlantic. Competent authorities pronounce the present Jungle as being infinitely more difficult to traverse today than It was in those days, but even then it must have been a terrible task for these marauders, many of whom failed to get clear of the Jungle, dying with their spoils In the silence of the forest. Sir Fnricta Drake’s second attack on the road, under the command of Sir Thomas Baskerville, failed dismally. Baskerville and TOO men traveled down the road from Nombre de Dios, but they met with such opposition, dangers, and difficulties that a remnant crawled back. "The march was so sore as.never Englishmen marched before.” said the commander on his return, history records. The Spaniards, however, continued using the road until Sir Henry Mor-

Vacuum Cleaner for Railroads

a <l gL ®- 1 a F T '''Y '

This vacuum cleaner, devised by Walter M. Spring, a research engineer, for cleaning traprock roadbeds of cinders and refuse, is being considered for adoption by railroads throughout the country. The cost to clear the railroad beds by hand is about $1,51)0 a mile. The new device can be attached to the rear end of an ordinary flat car and will suck up waste cinders and other refuse and save the railroads about $6,000,000 annually.

T~~ : gulped down the bait Upon one ranck within a radius of a few hundred feet, 28 wolves were found lying dead the morning following the laying of the poison. It was In response to complaints from ranchmen of the Bk Bend region that wolves were killtaa voung calves, lambs and kids in great numbers that Mr. Lapdon came here and made an Investigation of the situation. He conferred with a number of ranchmen and arranged for their cooperation in the mixing and spreading of the baits. He instructed them as to the proportion of strychnine to be used upon each piece of fresh pork and in other matters connected with the campaign of extermination that was about to be started. The pelsontag wort will be continued and it is expected that in a

Had to Fight for Possession. Tt Is little wonder that the enormous wealth which the Spaniards were extracting from the new world should attract attention of others, and It was not long before they realized that they had to fight constantly to retain what they so cruelly extracted from the Indians. After suffering repeated successful attacks on de Dios, Porto Bello and Royal road, the Spaniards took special precautions for the safety of their wealth. These precautions are responsible for the discovery, after so many centuries, of the gold at Old Panama. When Parker attacked and took Porto Bello the wealthy inhabitants of Old Panama realized that it would not be long before the pirates would pay them a visit. Using hundreds of slaves, they constructed galleries In the rock below their bouses. Into which they placed their valuables. One might call them private land banks, and the Spaniards, no doubt, thought them eminently safe. As the years went by the deposits increased until the threat of Sir Henry Morgan was made against them. News was brought over the gold trail by a few members of the garrison at Fort Lorenzo. The dreaded Morgan was approaching. Preparations were made to defeat him in his attack on Old Panama, and recent discoveries disclose that the galleries were cemented in until tfie danger was over. Unfortunately for the Spaniards. Morgan won. The Hidalgos who had secreted their wealth were killed in the battle before Old Panama, and their secret died with them. Chagrined at the small amount of wealth be found at Old Panama. Morgan burned the city and killed all who did not escape. Some of the wealth had been hidden away 20 miles from the city, some was placed hurriedly on board ships and sent to sea. while the inhabitants and wealthy traders had buried theirs beneath their houses and thrown It down the wells, which were later caved in by falling debris from the flaming city. In the tunnels of Old Panama there are, according to old documents, secret hiding places where the priests concealed the treasures of the church ami of the people, who gave it to the priests for safe keeping when they learned that Morgan was coming. The people trusted the priests and Morgan knew this. He tried to extort from the priests the location of the treasure. but rather than give up the gold of their church the priests suffered death at the hands of the buccaneers. The secret recesses of the underground tunnels at Old Panama have been rediscovered. In a few mouths they will be opened up. According to history, there is, somewhere in these tunnels, a life-size image of the Virgin Mary, made of solid gold. The image is supposed to have been secreted in the tunnels and the hiders to have perished with their secret.

APPLE SCAB IS CAUSE OF LOSS A cool, wet period will result in tremendous losses to New Jersey apple growers unless they take prompt action to protect their trees against scab This is the warning sounded by W. H. Martin. New Jersey State college plant pathologist, who continues: “Apple scab was. the cause of serious losses in many orchards last year. In a number of instances trees were i completely defoliated by this disease. < The fact -that the fungus causing the disease over-winters on the fallen leaves makes it a serious menace again this year. ‘Tn the old leaves, scab forms black spore-cases smaller than the head o1 a pin.' In the spring spores mature ir ‘ these and are discharged into the aii during periods of rainy weather. Fall ing on the blossoms or young leaves the spores germinate and produce the typical scab spots. “The fact that the spores are mature is of extreme importance to the grower. He should be prepared to apply the pink-bud spray at once, especially in the southern counties of the state. In making this application the relation of rainfall to the discharge ' of the scab spores must be kept clearly In mind. Without rain there will sbe no spore discharge. For this reason It is very essential that the first applications be made before rather than ijft er r® lny P* rfods - made after the rain the treatment will be too late to accomplish the best results The grower who applies his pink, ap- ! plication before a rainy period and then maintains a protective' 1 coat ot I spray material will have no difficulty . in the control of scab.” Blackberry Planting Is Made to Last for Years Once a blackberry planting is made, tt will last for many years, but the canes last only two years. These canes grow from the crown in the spring and they live until after the i fruiting season of the following year. When they die, other canes are ready to take their places, these new ones having grown from the crowns duri Ing the spring. Since - berries are borne only on canes which are in their second season's growth, it will be necessary to govern pruning accordingly.. Usually blackberries are planted j >1 just as early in the spring as the land | can be prepared, preferably on ' fall- > plowed land. The earlier the plants ' are set. the more chance they have j of living, and the better will be their growth. Usually rows are kept about eight feet apart, and the plants are set in the rows from two and one-half to four feet apart. Fertility Is Necessary for a Strawberry Crop i Tn order for a strawberry, and par-, ticularij' an everbearing strawberry.] to produce its maximum, it is necessary that plenty of fertility be pro-: j vlded. . They simply must have plant foot! if they are to be expected to produce. They also must have plenty of moisture. Given these requirements. berries are almost a certainty The plants are set just as any ottior strawberry plants would be set in the spring, but to give the plants an extra good start, to give them a boost that will insure a summer and fall crop, 3 half teaspoonful or so of sulphate ol ammonia may be scattered around the plant and worked Into the soil, hut , not brought in direct contact with the plant, of course. s Keep the blossom? picked off for a couple of months ami • then maintain constant cultivation throughout the season, and you should have berries; unless the weather turM j off extremely dry. Increasing Interest in Grapes Noticed in lowa 4 There is a growing interest in the f planting of grapes in lowa, according i to Information received from the reports of the lowa Horticultural society. Recently, a man was in the office of the society who was interested , In planting a 200-acre vineyard in southern lowa, and an inquiry which was sent out by the extension service in regard to demonstration grapevines, jbrought in 75 inquiries. j “Proper pruning and cultivation will I greatly increase grape production.” states R. S. Herrick, secretary of the lowa Horticultural society. “Mature < vines should be pruned on the longcane system as that will give greater production than the short method. Leave eight to ten buds on each of ifour arms: each arm being wood that grew last year. Tie up the four arms to the two-wire trellis so as to form a . double cross."

San Jose Scale The San Jose scale is very often i brought ta on nursery stock. This is a small flake-like scale. In taking s knife and lifting up this scale you will find a small yellow Insect underneath. Examination under a microscope will show that this insect has a sucking mouth part that it inserts into the tissues of the plant, and in this way obtains its food. One pair of these scales is capable ta a year’s time, under favorable conditions, of multiplying Into 10,000,000. Control Blueberry Pest Large scale growers of blueberries ta Maine are interested ta the possibility of applying arsenical dusts by airplane for the control of the blueberry maggot. The blueberry pack in Washington county alone Is said to be valued at more than $1,000,000 annually. The crop Is the most Important agricultural product of the county. When the blueberry maggot Is abundant it is found ta the blueberry after canning, rendering them unsuitable for jfOOd.

Fear Ravages of Gypsy Moth Pest Representatives of the United States Department of Agriculture are dow in Middleboro and adjoining towns studying the status of the gypsy moth and the effect of the parasites liberated a few years ago. In Plymouth and Barnstable counties there Is no apparent change from the conditions which have existed for the past few years, and there are nearly as many gypsy moths in these sections as ever. When the parasites were first liberated there were two kinds and the effect on the pests was noticed at first, but since the past winter none of these killers have been found and it is the opinion of those who are studying the situation that they have either been winter killed or have eaten one another up. It is believed that ravages of the gypsy moth will continue now that the parasites are missing unless some means of combating the pests can soon be reached. —Boston Herald.
