that millions of dollars in treasure was
buried on the Islanil. Expeihltons : had been

The Island was reached , but the expeill-

The little Island is only six miles across
ant ! Is nearly all high laud. The mercury

It. The only anlmils are the wild hogs ,
whlchi are there In great numbers and are

AN EXCITING CONTEST.
Two river mcii belonging to tue Stone-

just above the mouth of the North Fork they

With the roar of ivater cattle a scream in a
voice of tIcipalr frotil the concealIng foam

The men tolled on over the stony beach
towing their heavy boats. Whoa they came
wIthIr fifty feet of the strange commotion
of water the battle seemed to end , and ojily
dancing bubblea marked thto scone of diii-
turbanco. Two great batch eagles were sit-

there wIll be no trouble from the lndlatus
for some 'ears to conic.
The preii'cnt winter In the valleys hiss been
quite mild. Only about and a half feet
of snow has been recorded , In comparison
with a foot more last year. A winter cx-
tenda only from January to the latter part
of March , thu does not amount to very
much. The lofty mountains surroundIng the
vark breaks all wind stornia , and at the

of the necessity of getilag starteil before

In the vicinIty of the Gras \'otitres and

importance has sprung up. Captain Smith

every spring. Tire home-bred cattle are better -
ter in every way than tire oa.stren "dopies"
which are brought onto the range , and the
