TREASURE IN BOLIVIA
BRITISH SYNDICATE’S SEARCH MORE CAPITAL NEEDED (Australian Press Assn.—United Service.) Buenos Aires, December 13. Professor Edgar Sanders, hief of the British Exploration Syndicate which is searching for Jesuit treasure in Bolivia, has sailed for England for the purpose of raising another £30,000 for the purchase of pumping machinery and other equipment.' The treasure undoubtedly existed, he asserted, though perhaps not totalling £10,000,000 in value, as reported. “In the course of our investigations,” he said, “we discovered 2SO skeletons, presumably of peons employed in carrying the treasure to its hiding place. Most of them were evidently poisoned. Others were beaten to death with the breaking of bones."
