There were
Paolflo 100
when Dana made bis three years1
voyage before the mast and took notes
on the life of the Mexican iu the
coast towns in Soubtern California,
ond tradition says that there is a big
aaobe of traesure Bomewhere ot tbo
coast of British Columbia near
Vancouver, audi several such aachea
in the islands of the Souib PaciUo.
It is one of the latter that this ex
pedition la seeking.
What chance there may be of re
alizing profits in the enterprise can
not be judged without exact details
of the information possessed relative
to the value of the treasure, the
location of it and the difficulties to
be encountered and overcome in se
curing It. The expedition, bow
ever, calls attention to the paucity of
achievement In this line of business.
Year after year there Is an unfailing
series of announcements of the de
partures of treasure-seeking ex
peditions for waters where the booty
of the pirates aud cargoes of lost
ships are reported to be buried. But
never are there any announcements
of dividends paid on the stock of
treasure-seeking companies, limited
to show that the pearls and the gold,
the rioh plate and the Spanish
doubloons, have been recovered.
From these facts It may be assumed
that treasure hunting In the sea is a
visionary trade. Doubtless it is full
of interesting experiences, but, tor
practical purpose, 'the people have
engaged iu it might as well go forth
on their quest with the map of
"Treasure Island" to guide them and
the whole of a tropical summer to
devote to the project. Mr. Maude's
expedition evidently expects to visit
savage spots among the islauds of the
Southern ooean and to deal with
hostile natives, since bis yatob is so
well armed. Here is plenty of op
portunity for adventure, but uo
treasureunless it be in bananas,
coooanuta and dried Hiark skius.
Mr. Maude and his crew may see
some bfznrre sights aul possibly have
to withstand the nativei with a bluff
at flgbHng, but their eyes will not be
gladdened nor their pockets made
heavy with the ooutenU of a pirate's
treasure trove or a lost ship's prec
ious burden.- Butte Inter-Mountain.
