VALLEY MUSIC CO. ; -' 523 Crater Lake Ave. - Phone 2-5325 At one time he was smitten with the gold fever in this case the quest for a lost mine. It all re volves around his possession of an original map locating the mine which was acquired from the owner, an .old prospector with a real western thriller of a tale. '.- - This old timer, it seems,' had located his claim and was known to visit it periodically, return ing to town loaded down with gold dust. He spent it in high living and drinking but it never seemed to bother him when he went broke. ' "I can ,go back again and get some more," he would say ajad he did. But he would never tell anyone where the claim was located. Serious Illness Finally, the old gent took sick. He was well along in years by this time and it turned, out to be a serious illness. Some friends got him to go to a hos pital where he lingered on, re lating yarns about his gold. The medical assistants passed his gold stories off as the symptoms of delirium. Then one day they found out that he knew what he was talking about. In some way people at the hos pital learned that the old niari had a map showing where his mine was located. From then on all sorts of strategems were em ployed to obtain possession of the map, or at least see it so that an idea of the location could be learned. The old prospector had no heirs and whoever had pos session of the map, at his passing could claim the "mine. He would make no will. Copy Mad ' The map was finally obtained possibly while the old gent was sleeping soundly." A copy was made and it was returned. The parties who gained possession of the copy had some kind of argu ment and it was agreed to tear the map in half so that neither one could take over when the mine was found without knowl edge and assistance; of the other Actually some one did ascer tain the location and went "pros pecting" but the mine was never found. The old man didn't furnish ' enough details on his map. ' -. - ' When he finally died friends took over the map, but it was as much a mystery to them as to the parties who held pieces of the copy.

'Moderate' Floods Said Due Los Angeles Los Angeles (U.R) Flood con trol engineers say Los Angeles can expect "moderate" flood conditions on the average of once every 10 years. Research and interviews on the subject were conducted re cently by Dr. W. Richard Bigger, member of the political science faculty at San Diego State Col lege at Los Angeles. : He further observed that "a great flood" condition can be expected to cover the Los- An geles flood plain on the average of once every. 100 years. I , A large flood, drowning all low-lying valley areas' and sec tions of the coastal plain adjacent to stream channels, can be looked for about six times each century, he said, but all this can be prevented by flood-control projects in the course of construction by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. : Federal Agents-Seize Salamis As Conlrabrand New York W U.R) Federal agents have just fought an en- 4-H Club Hews ; Howard 4-H Club The Howard 4-H club - held their last meeting at the home of Mrs.' Gibson, our leader, recent ly.

Most Innocent Tourists The 5 ''smuggler" an inno cent tourist in most cases was sent on his way minus the cigar shaped delicacy he had carried 3,000 miles from sunny Italy or Greece. - ' 7 ' "We hate to do it," said, Dr. F. L. Herchenroeder of the Bureau of Animal Industry, "but those salamis can be dangerous." The danger is not to the sa lami lovers, but- to American livestock! ' Herchenroeder explained that to be qualified for import into the United States foreign meat products must be inspected and found to be free of foot and mouth disease. Tourists in Eu rope frequently' buy salami which has not passed such in spection. ' : : Can't Harm Humans . Human beings cannot : be harmed by meat from livestock infected with the disease, but if scraps were thrown' into a gar bage pail and hauled to a, pig farm, the pigs might catch it. Herchenroeder hastened to point out that most of the smug glers don't have a crooked bone in their bodies. Only a craving for salami, and a foggy under standing of customs regulations. - Kansas in 1861 was the first State to give women a vote, but that was only in school elections.

He was taken into the confidence of the people who held the original map. Green tried to locate the mine but he has always been baffled by the shelf of rock shown on the map which' indicates the exact position of the mine. The compass directions are , not shown and the line of the trail is somewhat sketchy and it is very easy to be misled from the landmarks shown. . - "I have tried innumerable times to find this lost mine," Green admits. "Some day the solution will appear after I have given' it enough study." And those who know Leland Green well are quite convinced that if there is a solution' to the puzzle of the lost gold mine he will find it. He is that thorough.
