; IS LEGEND OF ESKIMOS
i
Charles W. Hawkesworth, superin
tendent for the bureau of education in
southeastern Alaska has recently re
ceived a copy of “The Ancient
Ground,” written by Walter C. Shields
of Nome. Mr. Shields, with was su
perintendent for the bureau of educa
tion in the Nome district for nine
years, was one of the first victims in
Nome of influenza. Copies of his little
book have arrived at Nome on the last
trip of the Victoria, and he had no
more than seen them when he became
ill with influenza.
“The Ancient Ground” is a poem,
which tells the story of the migration
of the Eskimos from Gaul to Green
land and to northern North America.
The book is dedicated to the “Kee
nok club” of Nome, which has for its
purpose the study of Eskimo an
tiquities and folk-lore. Its symbol is
the ancient “Keenok” sign, which rep
resents the Thunder Bird, the most
ancient symbol and worship mark
known to Eskimos. The “Keenok” is
reproduced on the cover of “The
Ancient Ground."

SEARCHING FOR GRAVE
OF FAMOUS SPANIARD
SANTA BARBARA, Cal., March 14.
—Again the rugged and little fre
quented Santa ‘Barbara Channel
islands are being explored for the
burial spot of Juan Cabrillo, the In
trepid Spaniard who visited the Cali
fornia coast in the sixteenth century.
The present search centers in San
Miguel island, the property of J. F.
Moore, a wealthy resident of Florida.
With a party of friends Mr. Moore has
been skirting the coast of San Miguel
for several days, landing from time to
time where there seemed a prospect
of finding the grave, but always with
out success.
Cabrillo died on one of the islands,
it appears reasonably certain, and San
Miguel is generally believed to be the
isle where he met his death. One
legend has it that Cabrillo died of a
fever, another that he met a violent
death, perhaps inflicted by a warrior
of the primitive Indian tribes inhabit
ing the Channel islands in that early
day.
Cabrillo is said to have been se
cretly burired at night in a cave, in a
spot inaccessible except at low tide.
Not all the romance that is asso
ciated with San Miguel grows out of
the supposed tragic death. For gener
ations Californians have heard of the
fabulous sums of gold hidden there by
■sea rovers.
Treasure is said to have been buried
on the isle by Sir Francis Drake when
the bold English mariner put in
among the Channel group for rest and
water after he had stripped Spanish
bullion-laden ships. Drake, so the
legend runs, left hurriedly, and neither
returned nor gave a key to the secret
cache.
Several of the Spanish and Mexican
outlaws who overran Southern Cali
fornia in the Spanish regime, and even
after the Americans came, are said
to have made the islands their meet
ing place, and to have buried there a
fortune in gold and silver coin.

LOS ANGELES, March 14—Fash
ioning the type from which the volume
will be printed with his own hands,
A. E. Knoch of this city, better known
in the religious and literary world as
A. E. K., has completed a translation
of the greater part of the New Testa
ment from the first century Greek. Mr.
Knoch has labored almost twenty
years at his task.
Mr. Knoch says that the Greek Tes

acters having been added to the print
