I called on him as an old at a lace in the , friend, P Lushkar, where he was residing, Among other subjects we discussed the aotion of the Government in closing the mints, and I asked his °pint= . . about the possibility of a gold standard for India and mentioned the fact that . , certain members, of the Currency As- . soniation oonsidered that £50,000,000 sterling of gold , would- .be sufficient . . . to provide India with a gold currency. a. lau hed the idea to soorn The •Lall . g , and aasured me that £50,000,000 .would not suffice to replace the giver hoards of even one State. "You know," he said "boer anxious the late Maharajah e . ,.... tie t f 'einem was to get back e tor ress o Gwalior, but very few knew the real cause prompting him. That was a .ores, Oa concealed hoard of sixty cr 46 000,000 sterling, of rupees in certain vaults within the fortress ever which i . , British s,entinels had been walking for about thirty ' years, never suspecting the wealth concealed below their feet. Long before the I3ritish Governnaent gave back the fortress, every one who 11 knew the entrence into the concealed .hoard was dead, except one man, who was extremely old, and, although in good health, he might have died any day.If that had. •h d the tre -- happened , • • a sure naighthave been lost to the owner forever, and the world for ages, be- ere was only one entrance to cause 'th . , . the hoard which was most cunningly • ' • con.cealed, and, except that entrance,.. every other pain was STYR ROUNDED BY SOLID ROCX. "So the Maharajah was in such a fix that he must either get back his fortress or divulge the secret to the Government,. and rule the risk of losing the treasure forever. When the fort- ress was given back to the Maharajah, and before the British troops had lef t Gwalior territory, mesons were brought - from llenares, SW0212 to se- crony in the temple Of the Holy Cow; before leaving, and when they reach- ed the Gwalior railway station they were put into carria es blindfolded P. g , . , and driven to the place where they had to work. There :they were kept ethey had opened mit the entrance rn into the secret' vault, and, when the concealed. hoard had linen verified, and the hole built up again, they were onc.e 'more blindfolded, put into car- riages and taken back to the railway station. and re -booked for Benares un- der a, proper escort." Chowringhee Lana went en to tell me that for generations before the rise of the British power, his ancestors had held the past of treasure in the Gwa- lior• state, and that, after the British had annexed territories around Delhi, ene of his.great grand uncles had re- tired from the t • f t f treasurer post o o Gwalior with a tortune of 20 crores of rupees, £20,000,000 sterling. By great good fortune all this money was quietly got into British territory, he declared; and 15 crores of it are at this day bricked up in a secret vault un- der a.
