SEYMOUR Has Beauties at Prices no . . Greater than Months Ago New York, Oct. 17, Tales of tawi ure'lost at sea do not generally have the happy ending of that Just ronolutled through the work of divers tuul a dredge In Staten Island Sound off Se warm tnd. Silver and lead bullion worth $100.0M has Wn recovered after tying at the bottom of the sound since Seat.Mttber 27. . The bullion came from the Moxlottil mines by way of Galveston on a Mai lory line steamer and was on Ha way from the Emm river water front to the plant 'of the American Smelting & He fining Company, near Porth Amboy, N. J. Th're were 7S7S plga of tire metal on the d-x-k of the barge Harold. In company with IS light canal boats the treasure ship was taken in tow by a tug. It was the lost boat in the line. Under a moon nearly Mil, the night was brighter than many days. There was no wind. Peter Moore, captain of the barge, spent the evening chatting with the canalors alongside an the tow dragg d slowly across the upper bay and Into the Kill v0n Hull. The Harold was not as comfortable as It might be. so when beJ time came the captain ac cepted en Invitation to sltep aboard the canal boat. Aft-r all hands turned Jn the barge rolled to starboard, under the weight of 4"0 ten sf metal.and dumped the whole mass, except about SO pigs, into the water. She righted Immediately and went along as peacefully as before. Some of the metal landed on the canal boat deck and Moore was awakened. He hailed the pilot of the tug but had no megaphone, and the pilot kept the squadron on the move. Moore failed to notice that a fortune had disappeared from his craft while he slept. The barg appeared to be mpoving ulonir all right and he went back to his bunk. When the boats drew up in the morn ing at the pier In New Jersey there was a surprise awaiting the smelter officials and everybody was sworn to secrecy. Insurance companies were notified and preparatix-is quietly made to Bearoh the bottom of the sound for the lost pigs. The waters of that portion of the bay are known to b infested with pi rates who go about in small bOAts preying on canal boats and coal barges Thpy are considered dangerous men and great fears were entertained that ihey might learn of the affair and lo cate the treasure. Launches were hur ried to the seen and for more than a week, while the men aboard appeared to be fishing, sounding lines were being passed over the sandy bottom. Finally October 5, the search was rewarded when the line gave a metallic answer io the tupping of the lead. Divers went down and found nearly i an acre of the bottom covered with, million. A dredge was Immediately put i into commission and the Work of recov ery went rapidly on until nearly S3 per cent of the treasure had been brought up. The divrs then went down again and brought up what the dredge failed lo rearh and the insurance company offi Hals breathed a sigh of relief as their los now will be a small one, compara tively. The bullion was a mixture of lead and silver, the latter making up fully three 'juarters of its value, which will be sep arated and refined at the Perth Amboy works. Ca.vta'n Baxter of .the salvage crew says the next few days will de termine how long divers shall continue at work, but he Is satisfied not enough remains on the bottom to make it worth any amateur wrecker's while to turn in and help without an invitation. flgur. It Is expected that the log mar let will not continue In the pivsont wak condition, as these, smaller camps on the, river wljl shortly close down for the winter months, thus relieving any surplus that may have accumulated within the past few month. Mlllmcn contend that there is no congestion of logs and that they are not In the bust disturbed over rumors of overproduc tion. In their opinion, the weakness Is attributable In a measure to the de cline in the cargo demand and the log market was Immediately affected. Battle With a Monster Whale BASEBALL SCORES.
