ANOTHER TREASURE HUNT.

A Japanese salvage concern has been formed to raise # Gorman stoomer sask off Uragn forty-one yours ago. with traseuro valued at over 100,000 yon on board. In 1869, a year after the steamer was sunk, the vessel, with her Largo, was sold by auction to the late Mr Kirby, of Yokohamns., for a sum of $65,000. In 1870 the wreck was transferred to Mr Takashima Kayemon, of Yokohamaa, when, trica to raise hor, without success, and the suoken treasure was abandoned for a loug time. Mr Toyuan Kembi, whs from the -ärst interested himself in the matter, decm- ing the treasure too precious to be left at the bottom of the sea, obtained permission from Mr Takashima to raise the vessel and in 1906 he rude an attempt to secure the treasure, but owing to lack of funds he was compelled to suspend the operations. But he has never lost sight of the scheme. After consultation with experts he devised 818s plan to salve the treasure at a cost of 5,000 yen, and is now pashing on his pre- raations for resuming operations.

HOUTEN'S

COCOA

It is stated that the wrecked steamer was an armed erniser and was purchased for the Sendai clan. In consequence of the war of restoration, however, she could not be delivered, so was run on the coast under the German flag. She was wrecked on her way from Yokohans to the north. It was reported that she carried $00,040 in silver, 1,030,000 kin of copper, 1,430,000, kin of bronze-work, in addition to a large quantity of valuable furniture and gold and "silver" "shipped" by daimio of importunes- At the lowest estimate the value of the earga cannot be less than 600,000 yʊn. The upper part of the stenzner is for the most part ruined, at the upper dock eft still retains its former state, though it is covered with barnacles and with seaweed, from three to six feet in length.

Terrifying Experience.

The soldier had been punished with a night in the cells for some trivial offense, hant na the night was very hot the surgoant had left £20-dow: open. In the morning, at 5 o'clock, Legrand wont to take his prisoner, and to his horror behold a lance- head snake coiled up and fast asleep on the man's breast.
