THE DAILY | BURIED GOLD. | [SUNK IN THE CHIPPEWA | CREEK DURING 1812. | - : » While aiding Expedition, Outwi glars Who Had Chippewa Ba long been the s den treasure. adjacent isl by the and vicinity have ene of search for hid- I along the point and S are excavations made €archers who have followed every pimor and ever gelue. On an is- [land which forms a part of the | mouth of Bling Bay, a short distance | this side of Chippewa Point, and just | above Allen's, park, which island = is {owned by J. Y. Chapin, New York, there | are many pits dug by the searchers. Almost the entire head : of the island has been dug over. Thus i far po treasures have been. found on the island or elsewhere in the Chippe- wa region. Recently the New York Tri- bune gave what purports to be the story on which these rumors are bas. ed. Tribune's account follows : Somewhere 'about the mouth of Chippewa Creek, hidden - beneath the | bafiling blue river St." Lawrence, there rests several kegs of 'gold and silver. Right in the heart of the portion of the majestic river where the summer visitors colonize, the buried treasure has lain for four-score and ten vears, undisturbed . perhaps for the reason that those who were acquainted with ' the facts have hoped to be the ones to secure the fortune without the neces- sity of division, but all efiorts have so far been unsuccessful, and the gold rests where it was dropped overboard by the American patriot, Samuel Pat- terson in the war of 1812. The inci- dents surrounding the deposit of this treasure there constitute one of the most exciting pages of the history of the river which, during the early days of the country, was most prolific in stirring events, and the tale here giv- len is as it has been handed down to the descendants of the principal actor in the little tragedy. Some time before the war of 1812, Samuel Patterson, an American of the old English stock, moved across the St. Lawrence river and settled with his wife and three children upon a | farm near Kingston, Ont. Here fora | number of years they lived comfort- {ably and happily. Mr.- Patterson, be- {ing an cnergetic and industrious man, | soon acquired what was in those days { considered a moderate fortune. When { the second war with Great Britain broke out Mr. Patterson's sympathy was with his native country. but his location and care of -his family com- pelled him to remain silent. Then the English authorities began enlisting the Canadians and Indians, and upon being approached Patterson declined to join them. An effort to compel him to enter the ranks of the British ar- my led to the discovery that he was an American citizen, and his property was promptly confiscated." Taking his family, Patterson fled from his home Just in time to escape being impressed into service. Securing?a small dugout he embarked with his wife and child- ren, and after a long and perilous voyage he brought them into Chippo- wa Bay, where on the banks of a small creek he built a rude house for their habitation.

They then embarked in their skifi and start- ed for the Canadian shore. Patterson insisted on rowing, although urged by his companions to lie down in the boat and not incur needless risk. The other three lay in the bottom of the boat, and while their leader tueoed away 'at the oars he told them of his adventure of the night, ending by say- ing : 'Boys, when we get back to- night I'll show you where 1 put the stufi and we'll whack up." "The night was particularly favor- able for their venture; the moon had gone down, and the sky and river were black and impenetrable. Patter- son" knew every foot of the river, however, and they were feeling parti- cularly safe and jovial over their fav- oring fortune and prospects. They had passed the centre of the river and Patterson was pulling vigorously at the oars, with perhaps less care than usual, when suddenly a rifle shot rang out in the stillness, and the oarsman fell back with-a bullet in his heart. That one lone rifle shot in the glead of the night was all that they heard of the enemy, but that one shot® had done its work, and: Samuel Patterson's last raid had, indeed, been made. His companions lay still in the boat until it drifted out . of danger when they manned the oars and started back home.

New York, Sept. 27.--This is a vear when summer 'prefers not to linger in the lap of autumn and there is al- ready a touch of frost in the air which reminds us of winter wraps. Winter furs are in the shops in gor- geous arrangement, but at top-of-the- season prices, so it is not likely that many will be purchased just now. A few weeks," however, and a reduction will have been made to suit the purs- es that are now unequal to 'the em- ergency of fashion. Cloth wraps have been on the mar- ket long enough to be purchaseable now and some very smart novelties are to be had at reasonable prices. Fortunately for the woman who can indulge her fondness for variety there are innumerable cloak models from which to- make a selection this sea- son. Unfortunately for the one-wrap a season sisterhood light colors predo- minate and few, if any subdued tones are seen outside of black. 3 There is. however, one question up- on which the arbiters of fashion seem agreed; the strictly modish wrap this winter ¢will not be more than three- quarter length. Skirts will remain long for street as well as for house wear: and the inconvenience of. lifting a sweeping heavy wrap in addition to the folds of the frock when necessity demands' it can readily be appreciated.

This is a rich dark brown, time to make a systematic search but they succeeded only in sinking a little more treasure into the black ooze of the bottom of the bay. Many theories are advanced as to the possible hiding places which Patterson would haye chosen. Being hunted by the Indians, who might be anywhere, it is regard- ed as doubtful that he would "land and bury his friend.

Many a river fisherman has gazed over the gunwale of his boat and longed for a diving road to point him to the way to sudden fortune. Somewhere in the depths it lies. It may be under the deposit of ninety vears, or it may be where the erosion of the stream has kept it clear; but to all questionings the only answer thus far has been the merry gurgle of the waters, and, 'secure as the treas- ure of Captain Kidd, it rests to-lav cloth and at frequent intervals medal- lions of heavy yellow lace are applied and finished with small groups of clinging little fur tails. The waist is plaited in the back and fits the figure snugly. At the front the plaits are wider than atthe back and each is adorned with lace medallions and groups of tails from shoulder to waistline. The blouse effect of the bo- dice opens over a vest of white satin corlaid with cream lace. "Accompanying this costume is' a cavalier hat of brown French Mohair.
