LOST CITY OF SAHARA. Arabs Discover a Deserted Town of Burnished Copper. "The Egyptian Gazette," of Cairo, announced recently that an important expedition was to start Into the Sahara In search of the City of Burnished Copper, the remains of which are said to exist there, but which has been lost to human Bight for many centuries. The expedition will also visit the Oasis of Siwa, where the great Senussl tribe has one of Its headquarters, and wil also explore Jarabub, the Mecca of the Senussl, Into which as yet no European lias penetrated. Interest has been revived In this ancient city by (he recital of some Arabs, who not long ago returned from those parts.

It was by accident that they came upon It. They were endeavoring to smuggle contraband across from Tripoli last winter, but were surrounded by the coast guards. Some of the band got away and rode steadily southward for three days. They wandered for a long time In the hope of getting on the beaten track again, for their provisions had come to. an end.

They had given up all hope, when suddenly they saw on the horizon a glittering mass like a large city, which at first appeared to them to be but the delusive effect of a mirage. On closer acquaintance it turned out to be a real deserted city, built of burnished copper. They entered It, but the only signs of life were some sand grouse, which they promptly shot. They explored entire place, and then, replenishing their water at one of the excellent wells In the city, they set out on the beaten track again, and returned to Cairo. Says "The Pall Mail Gazette:" They naturally told their experiences on arrival and their tale acquired many fantastic features In the telling, for there Is no more imagina tive being than the Arab.

Their story naturally got to the ears of the anti quity authorities, who, after making due allowances, came to the decided conclusion that the city seen by these Arabs Is identical with the lost "City of Copper, the legends of which appear in every ancient manuscripts. Proof tliat the Arabs are not In venting tho whole story was afforded by some relics of copper which they brought back, and which are of very fine workmanship and unique design. Apparently the city is In an excellent state of preservation, due no doubt to the dry Sarah air. The Egyptian government antiqui ties department is lending assistance to the expedition, which is privately financed, and which will be under the leadershp of Dow Covington, who for many years has been engaged In exploring Egyptian antiquities. The expedition will to a certain ex tent be aided by the Senussl tribe, and It is expected that Interesting and valuable Information aart from antique relics of this ancient site, which had been completely swallowed up in the wide expanse of the Sahara, will re suit from the enterprise.

Communication was received from Publicity Director H. E. Denegar in city council last night requesting that some arrangement be made Jjctweun the council and Beach commission whereby the bureau of publicity could bo transferred to tho boardwalk on or before April 1. Dr. Keator, It appears, Is for council to say at this time whether It desires a renewal of tho lease for the bureau.

Mr. Denegar says If It is the intention of the Beach commission to turn the Casino into a public pavilion a portion of the ground floor of that structure would make an Ideal spot or the publicity headquarters On motion of Mr. Mlnot the communication was referred to the beach commissioners with a recommendation that they locate Mr. Denegar somewhere on the boardwalk.
