Mystery of Gold Intrigue Hamlet KIRKFIELD, Ont.--Legend has it there's buried treasure near this tiny Ontario hamlet--but it may be under a spell. Older residents of the area say $60, 000 in gold was buried in a sand hill near Kirkfield by an Irish immigrant named Lampler more than 50 yedrs ago. Jack Usher, 79, of nearby Beaverton remembers the night 48 years ago when he and his brother George were walking to their farm near Kirkfield, about 28 miles east of Orillia. He said they saw a 'brilliant column of light about 16 feet high over a sand hill next to a swamp. The next day when discussing their strange adventure they were told by a neighbor 'of Lampier's treasure. DUG FOR TREASURE : Night after night during the week that followed the Usher brothers dug for the treasure, often watched by crowds of curious onlookers. Severs] ful. times they could feel with an outline of a treasure shifted and they lost it again. Others have dug for the dou-blooms, but all attempts have been unsuccess- hands but each time they dug near it the sands once said if a certain passage in the Bible the sands would cease shifting the gold the logend. -- To the People of Prince Albert and District, We Wish You A Prosperous al Very Happy New Year. x kx % DOUPE'S STORE Prince Albert Phone 485-W Best We wish to thank our many friends for their support during the past year, We hope to be able to continue to deserve your patron- age in the year ahead.
