Mrs, Butler of the Agassiz Sweet Shop, met with a bad accident when she fell from her husband's bicycle while riding around the school grounds. It appears the wheel dropped Into a hole, throwing her into the fence, giving her knee such a wrench that the doctor says she will bo laid up for a long time, and was vory much afraid ot her having to go to Vancouver for X-rny, but, she Is doing bo well he expects she wilt be around In the near future If she Is very careful. The Fraser Valler Milk Producers' Association held its open air meeting on the Dominion Experimental Farm, June 14th and was a huge success. A beautiful sight on entering the farm., Mr. Hlcks, the superintendent, hail done everything to accommodate the public. A place had been marked with, a sign to park the cars of which there were over a hundred. The Association made arrangements to bring nil those coraiii'; across the river to Agassia by private cars, but finding the crowd so much greater than they expected they wore obliged to engage the whole of Mr. Inkman's taxi service and kept them running continuously. Tables were set up under the trees to accommodate those who wished to get lunch, which was provided by the ladies of the different churches at 50c per head, and, when they were all set It was surely a. sight, both from the viewpoint of the artists and the hungry man. The local merchants set uip booths where Fraser Valley Ice Cream and other commodities for the convenience of the visitors were very much In evidence. The first part ot the morning was taken In seeing the many attractions on this wonderful farm. Some feasted their eyes on the vegetable garden which was their particular hobby; others, the flowers, etc., and others, again, the stock and many other attractions which were educational, as welt as interesting. At 11 a.m. a stock judging demonstration was given by Prof Hare of the U. B. C, who gave a very nice talk on type of dairy cattle, which was very interesting. Prof. McDonald, Live Stock Commissioner of Victoria, then placed a class of nice heifers and asked the audience for criticism saying "everyone has a right to his own opinion." Many questions were asked and answered which were educational and very much appreciated by dairymen and the general public. The majority then moved towards the lunch tables which were more than ready for them. There tho Fraser Valley Butter, MUk, Cheese, in fact, everything Fraser Valley which was possible, and placed In a most picturesque spot under the shade of a wonderful collection ot trees. Some bringing their own lunches enjoyed exclusive picnics in secluded spots o fwhlch there are many such. At 1 p.m. a stock parade was given consisting of the farm horses, cows, heifers, sheep and pigs, which wns a grand sight. Here the services of many of the local farmers had to be enlisted in order to have sufficient help to lead tbe animals nnd they seemed to rather enjoy being able to assist in a parade, which was so much appreciated. At ? p.m. Mr. O. R. Reade, chairman of the Chiliiwack Locals, with the assistance of a megaphone, called the crowd to the back steps of the farm office to hear the different speakers, remarking, "Follow me and you'll wear gum boots." The chair was occupied by Reeve J. S. H. Morrow of Agassiz, who, In opening, said he felt somewhat like the bridegroom who, asked to make a speech, stood up and plaelng his hand on the bride's shoulder, said: "Ladles and Gentlemen, this has been sprung on me today," In behalf of the people I wish to thank you for your presence and I hope you wlll thoroughly enjoy yourselves, I wish to thank Mr. Hlcks for his kindness In throwing open this beautiful farm for our convenience. I think we are to be congratulated nlcs In secluded spots of which there as tho superintendent of this Experimental Farm, "On'behalf of the ladles, thoy were told to figure on about 400 people for lunch.

A gathering like this does more than we imagine In straightening out misunderstandings; most difficulties look very different from another viewpoint, and it makes it possible for us to get nearer in our viewpoints.

The evasiveness of Ronald's answer, did not lend to appease Mary's mind, or to allay her suspicions! that lie was influenced by ;i certain sense of annoyance at her. the cause of which she could not understand.

"Thus trifles light as air, are io the jealous confirmation strong as Holy Writ," little incidents, such as this—some recalled from the past- were confirmation lo him of Lhe news —that their engagement was an accepted fact, and that he meant no more to her than an ordinary friend. It was wiili a heavy heart, though with outward decorum, ihal he was able to spend the hour of lunch time in their company. It was a relief lo him when, after lunch. Mary accepted with apparent pleasure the sergeant's proposal lo accompany him to lhe Indian agency thai afternoon, a turn in events lhat gave Ronald an opening to withdraw gracefully from their company. The three days thai it took to finisli Ihe corral succeeded each other with monotonous regularity. Ronald ap plied himself assiduously to the work of its erecllon till completed. When it was done. If wus a work that reflected credit on lhe skill and workmanship of its builders. It was large and commodious, and built wiih a strength sufficient to resist the stampede of any number of horses. The sudden announcement of Ron- old's Intention to leave was received by both Mr. ana Mrs. Frnser with open regret. Mis. Fraser especially, who hud come to regard him witli a certain amount of maternal affection, such as she would have bestowed on her own son, looked upon his proposed departure as she would have done had the relationship really existed. The next day. however, be- Inp Sunday, they insisted on him delaying his departure until Monday. Though he finally acceded to I heir request. Sunday was the day he particularly desired lo be away from the place. lie wished to avoid another chance meeting with his successful rival, who, he thought, would surely take advantage of ihe day to visit his affianced wife, Deference lo his kindly hosl and hosless Induced him, though so disinclined, to prolong his stay over the extra day. Wltal glleved him most of all was the apparent indifference with which this woman regarded him. During ihe first days of their acquaintance she was free, friendly and affable. Lately she hud changed to an altitude nf aloofness and a cool Indifference tu him, thai was only tempered by the uracimisness of common courtesy, Wiih the -stupidity common to the male of his species, he looked upon this cool aloofness as being prompted by feelings of unfriendliness, If not Actual dUIJke. Instead of being buoyant and Sprightly as had been her wont, she became quiet and retiring in her altitude, He, In his turn, looked upon her actions as being inspired by aversion of himself. Thus, lhe breach that separated them became whal teemed fn him lo he an IllSUpl Cable harrier between ihem. The prolonging of his staj had seemed onl> to widen lhe breach and Increase his desire I'm** depurl lire, M was late afternoon of his last day on the Fraser ranch. He was wnlldng leisurely along ihe beach allot- having taken a dip in lhe limpid waters of the lake a Bhorl distance away from lhe house when he saw Mary, sin- was silting In lhe bow of a bnui beached on the shore, and seemed to be Hazing across the lake In the direction of a large Island some distance away. She did not notice Komihl ut,ill he was quite close betide her. Qulckl> turning as she nol Iced him she said: "Oti, Mr. MacRae, are you Interested in birds and birds' nesl.s? I often sit and watch lhe birds fly and circle around and about the island, and think how in* leresling il would be to go over there and prowl around exploring the Island and seeking the birds' nests. The blue heron must have nesls there; and I ufien wonder If lhe eagles we see hovering and cll'cllng above have their nesls there also. I think ii would be Interesting, though a liitie danger ous, io go near lo where their nest Is." "1 have never," said Ronald, "paid] particular attention to the study of birds, nor their habits In nesting, but, if it would give you such pleasure, I should consider it a greal privilege lo accompany you over, and would gladly help you find thej]- nesls." "(Hi, ihal would be lovely," she said. "Ii Is quite early, and we have plenty of lime ibis afternoon. 1 shall get a few sandwiches and cakes to lake with us aud then we'll enjo) a picnic as well as an outing, M will be something io remember each other by when you are gone," she added wiih a touch of sadness. "Miss Fraser, Ihere are manj Incidents in lhe shorl time of our acquaintance that will keep ihe memory of you for years fresh in my mind, and this ouling will nol. 1 hope, be the least Imporlnnl of tlu m." "Thank you; It is nice of you lo say thai. 1 shall now go and prepare our lunch while you an- getting the boat ready." While she was away, he hurried to get Hie boal ready for Ihelr little trip. By lhe lime she retUfued, he was iii his place wiih the oars, ready to start. She brought nol only sandwiches, but cakes and oilier delicacies, also a jar of ten that she was able to prepare quickly, as the kettle was on the .stove nearly on lhe boil when she went in. "See," she said, "Mr. MacRae, | have sandwiches, cakes, lea and olher things lor a surprise. We shall have u regular picnic." Her old-iime note oi enthusiasm and her! sprlghtllness seemed to have returned—a cheerfulness lhai was also commencing lu react on Ihe depressed! spirits of Ronald himself. Assisting Mary to the stern seal of lhe boat, he then shoved it. out free of the beach, and laking the oars, he pointed straight for the island. Taking a point on the shore he was leav-j ing by which to steer, he pulled out' from the land. The angle »t which! he dipped tho blades of the oars in the water, the long easy swing of his body as he pulled and the quick even I flexion of his arms wiih which he fin- lshed his stroke, indicated a skill in oarsmanship that few possess. The boal glided over the water in answer to his master strokes without appar- enl strain on the oarsman. Mary I watched him as he rowed wiih an easy swing of lhe body and marveled tooj at his sense of direction, as, with unerring skill, he steered the boat1 straight for the Island, without once| turning around to gel his bearings.! He did not stop rowing until he was close up lo the Island. They skirted along its north shore, which presented a steep clay embank ment rising for about twenty feet above the level of the water, with here and there trees and brush leaning over from above. Suddenly, as they skirled thus along the shore, an eagle flew from the clay bank, out. of a hole partly concealed by an overhanging tree. "There is one place we must explore," said Ronald, "for there the eagle must have her nest." They rowed along the shore till they came to the east end of the island, where on the pebbly shore they beached their boat. It was an Ideal spot lo land. Between the pebbly beach and the tree line stretched a grassy slope where they had excellent shade from the heat of the sun. Around I hen. birds and water fowl of various kinds and description, disturbed by their landing, circled about. The more timid, among which were a number of blue heron, fj8G3e and mallar.ds, flew away to the opposile shore, or over Ihe hills beyond. Other species of ducks of bright plumage rested in flocks on the water some distance out; lhe more curious, and the less timid, sllll closer in. For a time ihey watched these birds and noted or commented on their antics as they Hew away, circled aboul, or swam around In the water. Remote from the frequented haunts of the sportsman and Ihe huntsman, theso numerous species of wild water birds, found in the solitude of the interior or tin: mountains, along the shores and on lhe Islands of Its numerous lakes, an undisturbed refuge place for lhe mating and the breeding season of the years.

Here tin- subdued female bum her nest, laid her eggs and then patiently hatched her brood, while her more stalely male disported himself on the water, or preened his variegated plumugo as he sunned himself on ballon, gravelly Islands nearby. They watched lhe birds Ihus fulsome lime and then commenced lo clrole ihe island along lis pebbly lieaelics. Here and Ihere a Hushed bird would betray Mm location of her nest, and a search Immediately begun would sometimes result In discovery, but more often would resull In disappointment, Cunningly concealed in lhe Brass or beneath overhanging bushes, the exacl location often mystified tho searchers, while the antics of the Hushed bird In her fantastic efforts lo cnUce them away from the nest, amused them greatly. Here, in front of them as they proceeded, a pair of Canada gray Reese waddled inlo the water followed by Ihelr brood of goslings, and swam away In single file, the goose in the lead, the gander in lhe rear, and casting occasional sidelong glances at the two strange intruders of their quiet haunts. Beyond, a mallard drake, watching witli upstretched neck and body, issues a warning "q'laok," to be followed Immediately by his flight followed by others of his kind. Out on the water floaled the nest of tangled twigs of the careless grebe, with eggs half submerged In the water within; In the grass, cunningly and neatly concealed, lay the nest of the teal; benealh shading willows the more open nest of the mallard; In holes In old stumps rested the nest of the wood duck, while lightly swinging on the limb of a sapling tlie dainly hanging nest of the oreole was discovered. Curious as some of these discoveries were, and Interesting as they all seemed, that which attracted .Mary's chief attention was the sight of the two bulky forms of blue herons' nests, high up on the spreading branches of a tall birch tree. She expressed her wish to see them, and accordingly challenged Ronald to climb up and examine Ihem. The climb, on account of the low dowa thick branches, presented no difficulties, and he readily accepted the challenge. Unexpected by him, Mary followed on his heels, and soon Ihey were both peering Into the nest and examining tho blue eggs of Ihe retiring heron. Amused at their own escapade and clinging for support to overhead branches, they rested and chatted for a time on. lhe swaying tree top. "This," said Ronald jokingly, "reminds me of Ihe 'Darwinian Theory,' which claims lhe probability of the descent of man from the apes, which, If true, means that our ancestors used to have Ihelr abode on lhe tree tops." "I don't believe," she said, "thai we ever descended from the apes, and now I nm goln„' to descend this Iree and look for the eagle's nest," (To be continued) London's Smart Set Now Prefer Carriages Coach Owner Says Horses Coming Back Into Favor Tired of luxurious motor ears, many members of London's sinai'l set aro returning to the horse carriage for shopping purposes and for driving In the park.

Is Now Working Again Every mining district seems lo have its lost mines, but ll seldom happens llial such a mine ls found aud re-opened, liriilsli Columbia's original lost mine—lost lor fitly years or more—has been found and work will begin Immediately to get out tho high-grade silver ore. II is what Is known as lhe old Eureka mine, search Tor which hits lured prospectors for years. It Is eight miles from the town of Hope, B.C. General 1 W. Stewart and associates are now owners of the mine and a crew uf men and supplies have recently been senl In. Tho lost Eureka was last heard of In lho early '70's. According to tho story which has gone the rounds of prospectors for years, It was discovered by au Indian trapper, who brought a chunk of solid silver Into the then wild and woolly western mining town of Hope. Hope was then lhe mecca for hundreds of adventurers from all over lho world, attracted by the gold In the rich bars of the Fraser River. A company was formed iu which were many men prominent In British Columbia in those days. Cabins were built and mining with crude methods was undertaken. Considerable ore was taken out and shipped to San Francisco to be treated. In those days the ore had to be packed from Ihe mine- to Hope on the backs of Indians. Even with the tremendous trans- portal Ion cost the mine paid until the owners got into difficulties and with the gold rush turned elsewhere interest in that part of the country waned and the old niln: was finally abandoned. Then It became lost to memory as far as Us exact location was concerned, but the/ "lost mine" story remained to be often told by old-timers and given little credence by those who had heard stories of that kind before. That the mine r.ially existed was a mailer of record In the archives ot the province. About three y-jars ago A. S. Williamson, while hunting, discovered the old camp and workings. He in terested his firm—Foley, Welch and Stewart—In the discovery and engineers were sent lu and gave the property a thorough examination. Belief ls expressed by those In charge of development work that the Eureka will be a bonanza silver mine.

TIIK LOCAL CONTEST Surprises of course there were In the Dewdney riditiK, indeed each candidate, and even every voter, had his angle of surprise. Probably on Friday more of the electors turned out to vote than on any previous occasion. Much Intensity, generally, was shown, l-'or each of the throe contestants It Is due to any they "played the game" and not one of the three can ever chide himself for being either dishonorable or un- gentlemanly. Indeed, In such light it Is too bad there was not a seat for each, it Is well that those who took cellar positions arc good sports, for each had every reason for fullest confidence. Mr. Catherwood wlll no doubt prove the, merit of his second term. He may be relied upon to get the best possible for his constituents. Mr. Maxwell Smith put up a strenuous fight. His addresses were forceful and lucid and, for the most part listened to with respect. Chosen to the House he would easily have been an effective force. Mr. Harold R. Smith proved a platform for "worthy of any man's steel." He Is an able and thoughtful speaker and easily leads his audience to believe In the sincerity of his purpose, as well as the propositions he enunciates. It will be now the duty more than ever to line up with our member and so best conserve the interests of this great constituency. Side light* on a Oreftt xndnstry ,NO WOMEN REPRESENTATIVES. In the people's choice of representatives to the House they have forgotten to elect even one woman though not fewer than Beven presented. It goe3 without saying that there should be some members of the gentler sex In the Assembly. Perhaps the late lady member is herself to blame for her non-election especially as in 1920 she headed the poll. The lesson may be—take care to serve your constituents and keep free from anything that looks like promoting one's own Interest.

Established 1870 Vast Sum Sunk in Oper ation of Province's Pulp ■and Paper Industry lliitlsli Columbia Only Cute Onc- Tlimisaniltli Pan of Her Pulp Wood Annually ELECTION ECHOES It Is estimated that the huge sum of 150,000,000 ls Invested In the manufacture of pulp and paper in British Columbia which is one of the great divisions of the Forest Products industries of this province. British Columbia possesses the finest stand of high grade pulp wood In the world. The quantity ls placed at 180,000,000,000 ft. or 256,000,- 000 cords. In 1922 the plants of British Columbia converted 274,000 cords or roughly a thousandth part into the manufactured product. Yet British Columbia produced 9.2 per cent, of nil the pulp and 9.6 per cent, of all tho paper in the Dominion of Canada. Pulp and Paper In 1922 the pulp and paper Industry nf British Columbia employed 1823 persons in its plants alone with an annual payroll of (3,578,- 000 and spent considerably over $3,- 000,000 In the purchase of supplies.. In addition the logging of the raw material employs many hundreds of men and" greatly adds to the Industry's payroll. Enormous sums are spent annually In renewals of machinery, enlargement of plants, and In keeping the processes up to the latest scientific standards. The establishment of a modern pulp and paper plant entails the expenditure of several million dollars. The growth of an Industry vast enough to keep nace with our increasing pulpwood supply is only a question of creating taxation conditions that will encourage the Investment of the huge sums needed.

While regretting the loss to business of Mr. Matchett. the entire patron list will be pleased tn know that be is taking a well-earned and much-needed rest, and when again venturing upon a commercial career, he will have the good will and wishes of all.

All speakers stressed Ihe greal necessity for diversified operations snd the rotation ot crops, and also the Importance of lower production aud transportation costs to the farmers Df Western Canada. Farming needed ordinary business application, said R. II.

While farming had nol proved such a "bad job," Mr Willis thought there was far too wide a distance between the production price and the price charged the eonsunter, but he would not complain'If lhe consumer got the benefit. In conclusion, Mr. Willis said: "We don'l become millionaires, but no other life equals that of the farmer free from debts and worry, and you show me a farmer who has never mortgaged his farm and I'd show you a man who isn't worrying' about his taxes." Incidentally, he remarked that he had never signed a note for anything he had bought and lhat he had never mortgaged his land. Professor C. II.

Canada's Substantial Advantages Canadian Farmer Has Many Advant- # ages Over Farmers In U.S. In his recent report on the wheat situation made to President of the L'nited States, Henry C. Wallace, secretary of the United States department nf the Interior, stales: "The Canadian wheat farmer enjoys substantial advantages over tlie American producer In the matter of yields, land values, the quality of wheal he produces and lower freight rales from points equally distant from markets. Tlie yield of wheal Is materially higher in Western Canada than in many of the wheat producing stales of the United Slates. The average yields of spring wheal in tlie prairie provinces during the len year period 1913-1922 varied from 15 to 16 bushels per acre. In Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana for the corresponding period they ranged from 10.0 lo 14.3 bushels. These figures do not reflect the losses resulllng from abandoned acreage." "The capital invested In land ls also materially lower In Canada than In the United States," states Secretary Wallace. The average value of farm lands ill 1922 for Canada as a whole was $40 per acre as compared with $79 for the United Stales. In the prairie provinces of Canada average land values ranged from $24 to $32 an acre; lu eleven of the western wheat slates the range was from $46 to $110. It is evident that the American wheat farmer has a much heavier per acre investment in burden. It ls quite apparent that the Canadian fanner has advantages which enable him to produce wheal at materially lower costs per bushel than the American farmer.

Then were lll'iy-lour members of the League, it was urged Ihal lhe League had not achieved peace in Europe. The reason the troubles of Europe were unsettled was the delay in settling peace terms, and in ability to enforce them. The League had nothing to do Willi the pence terms and-no part or authority In enforcing Ihem, but what the League had done was to keep peace between contending parlies and lake steps towards a lasting settlement. Insofar as Hie League was concerned Ihere was not a single instance where one member had gone to war with another. The trouble between Italy ami Greece was not a blow lo the prestige of lhe League hut had clarified ihe situation and strengthened the League's position. Canada paid annually $170,000 lo the League.

Indian Treasure Hidden at Bon Echo Fraser Valley Milk Producers Continued from front page creatures and this one in particular was unusually so. The banker In question had an artificial eye of which he was very proud, as no one had been able to distinguish it from the natural one, go he agreed to give the loan provided Sandy could tell him which it was. After some study Sandy said It is the "left em." The banker was very much surprised and asked why he picked on the left eye, to which he answered, because it looks a wee bit more sympathetic than the other. Therefore, we are in favor of bankers having two artificial eyes. (Laughter). Speaking of dairy cows he said the herd on the Experimental Farm was a wonderful group, (1600 being the original output for the start of the herd. Now there ls a deal pending in which more than twice that amount is Involved in the sale of one heifer calf. He was sorry to say there Is only 50 per cent, of the bulls In the valley which are registered, the general opinion being that It Is cheaper to buy dairy cows than to raise them. In this he did not agree and it will only be a short time when good dairy cows will be very scarce. Mr. Parke, President and General Manager of the Association, expressed himself as being highly honored In standing before such a large audience. A great deal of credit is due Wm. Henley and G. H. Smith of Agassiz for organizing the scheme. The Fraser Valley organization li the backbone of the Valley today. They have been under great difficulties, as, although last year working full capacity, are now forced to handle 7 to 8 hundred cans more this year. Vancouver, although being their main market, can handle only 25 per cent, of the whole milk, therefore, they are forced to put the rest on the world market in the form of butter, cheese, Ice cream and condensed milk (Pacific and Borden Brand). Owing to their lack of handling capacity they had to dump 400 cans of skimmed milk in the gutter, which is a loss of about $100 a day. To increase the demand, the organization has canvassed the city on their own wagons and from 8000 lbs. of butter per month they have increased to 46,000 lbs. per month but do not intend to stop at that. This eliminates the middleman- Ladles do 90 per cent, of the buying, so It's up to them to see Fraser Valley products are used in the house. What helps the association helps us all. At present 2000 mem- mors are using 4000 lbs. of butter per month, meaning 2 tbs. a month for each member, not showing a very great fondness for butter. He also said the F. V. M. P. A. control 60 per cent, of the dairymen in the valley. They have 200 new members this year and some old members who left havo come back. Mr. Henley, secretary Agassiz local, called, "Agassiz has 100 per cent." As everf- thlng Is working over capacity, if going to carry on with 100 per cent, efficiency must build a utility plant In tho valley which means the Investment of a large sum nf money— a quartor of a million dollars, llul Iho wonderful organization Justifies the expenditure and It would pay for Itself very soon. He also said Ag' asslz and ChllHwack could finance It If they chose. Wo should have a few moro of these gatherings and stimulate a spirit of friendship amongst us all. Committees, associations and our government, as well, would be the hotter for It, as with better understanding the difficulty vanished. Mr. Macken wns then called and said tho principal thing was for each member to understand that the association does not belong to tho seven directors alone, but, is their business as woll. Each should, therefore, Ibe us vitally Interested In making It n success, nnd lot no members got away, If your next door neighbor Is going Into tho dairy business, see that ho Joins. Encourage anyone who Is not satisfied, to come to headquarters and come to a proper understanding. The directors, mentioned previously, are as follows: Mr. W. J.

Below, left-The Landing Stage | rlght-Another View of the 111;'. Kgck. Long before Jacques Cartier sailed up the St. Lawrence to discover Hochelaga, a now-forgotten race of people were making pilgrimages to the Big Rock towering above the waters of Lake Mazinawe in Eastern Ontario to observe religious ceremonies, to worship before this great natural altar and to propitiate the gods who dwelt within its granite mass. In the backwoods now, five hundred years ago the Big Rock of Bon Echo was in the center of the greatest white pine forest the world has ever known and on a main highway between the north and Lake Ontario. There were no backwoods In those days, and the streams were the travel routes for the pagan people who followed the seasonal migrations of the animals with which the forests teemed. To them the Big Rock at Bon Echo must have been a thing of mystery, as it remains today both to arche- ologisls and geologists. None can reconcile the sheer untouched face with the glacial markings along its top, and in the same way the paintings along the face are an unsolved riddle. "Who put them there"? and "what do they mean"? are unanswered questions. Along the face of the Big Rock a few feet above the watcrline are the hieroglyphic records of an unknown people. Fainted in a virtually imperishable paint, whose composition is unknown, and which has defied the weathering effected of wind and water, these records baffle the archeologists of the continent. * Whether they have a warlike or religious significance is not known, although some people hold that they record a great victory of the Iroquois over the Hurons and Algonquins and have been written in some Involved and mystic code. A more conservative Interpretation claims that the paintings of the Big Rock are trail marks, records of the bunt, signboards for other travellers. The natives of the backcountry claim that they hold the secret to the treasure cave located in the Rock, and that the solution of their riddle would open the entranceway to the long lost silver of the Indians. From Brockville to Trenton, on the shores of Lake Ontario, the legend of Meyer's Cave has long persisted. The hint of such a cave first came when the Indians from the country to the north brought in bars of native sliver to exchange for food and firearms. For years they refused to discuss the source of their wealth with anyone, but in time, a trader by the name of John Meyers, who had been brought up in association with Indians, was able to ingratiate himself into the confidence of two members of the tribe and in exchange for liberal quantities of fire-water, they agreed to conduct him north. Late in the fall they set out, made their way up the Moira and Skootamatta Rivers, portaged from Lou- mishtigouche Lake into Lake Mazinawe and came to the Big Rock. Conflicting stories tell of Meyers actual find. One tells of a fissure between two hune masses of rock, a long entranceway through which tho trader crawled, and of a cavern at its end. When the fat pine torches carried by his drunken guides Illumined the interior Meyers found himself inside nn irregular cube fifty feet in size and along whose sides were piled rough cast bars of native silver, as one piled cordword. The trader took what quantities of the metal he could place in his knapsack and in his pockets, and departed, making as accurate a mental record of the location of the entranceway as he could. His companions would not allow him to blaze a tree, or to place a cairn, for by this time they were becoming frightened over their betrayal of the secret. The small party set out for home but crossing the lake at the headwaters of the Skoot River, their canoe was swamped by a heavy storm, and the Indians abandoned Meyers who had made his way to shore with difficulty. In order to save himself from drowning he was forced to throw away all but a small quantity of silver carried in the pockets of his coat. Without food, his firearms gone, ill, wet and hungry he reached Belleville after ten days hardship. As a result of the exposure he took pneumonia and died in the course of few months. It is an improbable story but one thing is certain. In the Meyers family there are spoons made from the silver he brought down with him. He left a map, drawn from memory, and in time this fell into the hands of a lawyer, George Merrill, who went north and relocated the cave, in company with another man. Loth to divulge the discovery, he did nothing for some years and when he did return the fires had swept through the backcountry and had altered its typography to such an extent that he was never able to locate it again. Several comfortable fortunes has been spent trying to locate the cave. One man lived for fourteen years on top of the Big Rock going ever every square inch of it. time and time and again, certain to the day of his death, that his perseverance would be rewarded. Today in a sheltered hollow there are a few rotting logs at right angles to mark his home. Another expedition spent thousands of dollars scraping the earth off the central portion of the rock.in a vain search for the cave. Once or twice every summer a group of old prospectors will appear at Bon Echo Inn, and armed with pickaxes and hammers, will mysteriously disappear up the iron staircase mounting the Big Rock, certain that at last they are going to find the lost millions. A day or two later they creep down the staircase, climb silently aboard the Canadian Pacific train, and go home as they have come, without the treasure. 9 And over all the Big Rock watches as it has watched a millions years, serene and indissoluble.
