TREASURE SEARCHERS
EXPLORATION COMPANY'S HOPES (Australian Press Association) (United Service.) (Received this day at 5.30. a .ill.) BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 13. Professor Edgar Sanders, Chief of the British Exploration Syndicate, searching for Jesuit treasure in Bolivia, said England purposes raising another £30,000 for the purchase of pumping machinery and other equipment, lie claims: “The treasure undoubtedly exists, though perhaps not totalling ton million sterling as reported. Tn the course of our investigations we discovered two hundred and eighty skeletons, presumably peons, employed carrying treasure to the hiding place. Afost of them had evidently been poisoned and others beaten to death, their bones being broken.”
