WHEN Arthur O, Friel set out on his last trip he asked me to say nothing about it, on the general idea that after doing a thing is a better time to talk about it than before doing it. He was going somewhere up the Orinoco, by himself as is his custom. Not on business or to accomplish anything in particular, but just because he wanted to. V4 4 a I heard from him at Port of Spain, Trini- dad, where he fell in with a good Camp-Fi ire. comrade, Captain Alfredo L. Demotest. Then the jungle, where there are no mail boxes, Considerably later he emerged after an exceedingly interesting trip up the Ventuari, a tributary of the Orinoco. I'll not spoil the story by giving any details. He’s going to tell you himself at a later Camp Fire. Also, he’s written a novelette for us that pictures the country through which he passed. EFORE getting heated up about the San Saba or any other lost mine or mission treasure, remember E. E. Harri- man’s warning at a past Camp-Fire. This particular comrade may have a real clue to a real treasure, but the game in general seems to involve a very long chance. Austins ‘Texas. Friends of The Camp-Fire: Have any of you ever heard of the San Saba Mission and the San Saba Mine? I have gathered all the data possible in this part of the country, but I am sure that there are some among you who can give me further data and possibly advice. This old mission and mine has been lost for over one hundred years and I think that the chances of ever finding them are very slim. However, with the aid of you who can give me data we may be able to make a good guess, The old Spanish records show that there was over fifty million dollars worth of gold taken from this mine and from all I can gather there is still that much there. It stands to reason that the mine was close to the old Mission. Now, don’t think that I am trying to enlist the aid of any of you in trying to capitalize this idea of hunting lost treasure, but I will gladly exchange ideas and data with any one who is interested, and anything I can tell you I will gladly do so. I have been studying this thing for ten years and more and, while | would not gamble on any one ever finding it, | think my chances are somewhat better than any one’s that [ know of.—GEoRGE HARWooD Jr., 405 West 21st St., Austin, Texas.
