No, this is not a recently discovered manuscript--rather, a reference to
two Mark Twain items appearing in recent publications:

** _The Philadelphia Inquirer_, January 18, 1998, Books Section.  "The
Argument for Removing Huck Finn from the Bookshelf."  Book review by Daniel
T. O'Hara, professor of English at Temple University, of _Huckleberry Finn
as Idol and Target:  The Functions of Criticism in Our Time," by Jonathan
Arac, University of Wisconsin Press.  O'Hara presents Arac's argument for
removal, but has reservations about Arac's book:  "Like love, the difficult
art of creating or appreciating imaginative pleasure submits to no agenda
or program, however well-intentioned."

** _Lost Treasure_ magazine, March 1998.  "California: Mark Twain's
Treasure Tale."  Article by Anthony J. Pallante highlights legendary sites
of lost treasure in the state.  The first one featured is the "Lost Cement
Mine" of _Roughing It_.  The writer relates the historical background,
including Mark Twain's interest, and concludes, "After all the years and
all the legends, the mystery of the Lost Cement mine remains unsolved."
