     Part 5. 
                         My Friend  Harv.
             Back during the first few years that I had been in this work I 
     was listening to a tape recording of  a lecture by a man called Dr. 
     Halsey.  Mr. Halsey was a nephew of the Admiral "Bull" Halsey who was 
     famous in the U. S. Navy during World War II.  Dr. Halsey had been a 
     very educated man who had spent a great  deal of his time 
     investigating flying saucers.  On a plane trip between two states, on 
     a regular flight, his plane had come up missing and has never been 
     seen by any one on Earth again.
             On this tape recording he was talking about places a person 
     could go into the inside of the Earth and a few more things but he 
     mentioned in a very as matter of fact way that there were two pyramids 
     in Calif.  One of these was on the north fork of the American River 
     near Snakehead Point, near Auburn, Calif.  This place was considered 
     to be haunted by the Indians of the area.  They also considered that a 
     person would become dizzy if he or she decided to climb it and would 
     never make it to the top.  That's all the information that I had to 
     start with.  No mention was made of where the second pyramid was 
     located except maybe to say that it was located near Lone Pine, Calif.  
     So that's all the information that I had to start with.  
             I felt that it was important for me to find these places so I 
     took a trip over to the first pyramid area to see what could be found. 
             When getting to a place called Gold Run, Calif.  between 
     Auburn and Reno, Nevada, I decided to turn off the road and asked the 
     local people if they knew where a pyramid was around that area.  They 
     really gave me a look like I was crazy and didn't have  any 
     information about it.  After talking with them I took a road down 
     towards the river and finally got to a spot where the north fork of 
     the American River could be seen.
             After wondering how to get down to the river, which was down 
     in the bottom of a canyon, I met a fisherman coming  up the hill.  He 
     informed me how hard it was  to get down the hill so I decided not to 
     try to make it down the hill.  Finally a man showed up in a pickup and 
     I told him what the problem was.  He said the had a geological survey 
     map of the area and proceeded to try to find Snakehead Point on his 
     map because he had never heard of it.  Sure enough he found the place 
     and he was able to point it out to us right down the canyon about a 
     mile and one half to the west of where we were.   I then drove a 
     little bit down the road and looked right nearly straight down the 
     canyon towards it.  Snakehead Point is a small hill (about 120 feet 
     tall that sits near the bottom of the canyon on the south side of the 
     river) and is covered by trees and dirt to a depth of about 50 feet.
             Time was getting pretty late and I decided to go back home.  A 
     few months later I tried it again, this time taking a tall, slender 
     young man, about 21 years old, who was in good physical shape.  I told 
     him all I knew about the subject so we started down the side of the 
     mountain on the north side of the canyon.  This man hadn't been taught 
     much about ESP but I decided to take along an Ouiji board, box and 
     all.  That really looked funny, going hiking with an Ouiji board but I 
     wanted to make contact with the spiritual entities that might be 
     inside the pyramid if it was at all possible.  
             We finally got down the hill and just needed to cross the 
     river and climb Snakehead Point.  We got to looking at the river and 
     thought that it sure did look high.  The river was running pretty fast 
     so we decided not to cross at that time.  We sat down on a large rock 
     and set up the Ouiji board for operation.  I then gave the young man a 
     quick instruction course in operating an Ouiji board and we both 
     started using the board to communicate with the spiritual 
     intelligences that were inside the pyramid just across the river.  The 
     first question I asked was, "Is anybody here that we can talk to"?  
     The indicator of the board moved very fast over to no.  I then thought 
     that if there is nobody here then you sure used a lot of energy as say 
     no.  Next I asked if it or he would help give us information about the 
     pyramid.  I then was hit by a large amount of force that caused me to 
     get a very bad headache.  It was similar to the thought forms of 
     spirits that are used to kill people if they try to break into a tomb 
     or pyramid over in Egypt.  All of this made me pretty mad so I 
     demanded that the spirit get off the line (off the Ouiji board and put 
     on my guardian angel, the good type spirit that was always with me).  
     From then on I got good information and found out that the pyramid was 
     thousands of years old and a few more things that didn't seem very 
     significant.  The young man and I then decided to go back home.  On 
     our way out we wound up just climbing straight up the canyon because 
     we didn't see any trails going the way we were trying to go.   On the 
     way up the young man and I nearly pasted out due to exhaustion 
     although we were both in pretty good shape.  We finally got out of the 
     area and were started home when my old second car (work car) that I 
     was using, developed a trouble in the generator.  We stopped at a 
     small filling station that also had a bar on one side.  While I was 
     working on the car  and the young man went inside the station, a lady 
     came staggering down the street and wanted to know what I was doing 
     and after I had explained to her what I was doing she wanted to know 
     what I was doing that day.  Well I thought she was being pretty nosey 
     but due to the fact that she had been drinking quite a bit and was 
     feeling no pain I proceeded to continue to work on my car while she 
     was looking over my shoulder taking it all in.  It was quite a slight, 
     me working on  my car, fairly dirty, with the well dressed drunk lady 
     drinking in all of the things that I had been doing that day.  When I 
     got to the part about the pyramid she said that she was familiar with 
     it and her husband had gone into some of these  areas to take pictures 
     of the paintings on the walls etc., etc.  She was really telling me 
     all about it and referred me to a man that was working as a bar tender 
     over in Auburn, Calif. that owns the land that these caves were on.  
     We also found out that we had attempted to hike down through an area 
     that was so filled with rattlesnakes that it a name to that effect.  I 
     had noticed movements in the bushes from time to time about 30 feet 
     away but didn't give it too much thought.  We also found out that the 
     river was at flood stage and two people had been drown during that 
     week on the same river.  We were through for the time being, picked up 
     a little more information and went home.
             On the next trip and you must be wondering where  I get all of 
     this energy, I took my whole family, one wife and four boys.  We 
     talked with some people in Auburn and they told us how to get out 
     there, then later we drove out to the area.  It's out past Forest 
     Hills, Calif. down on the end of a gravel road then you go past a 
     locked gate and it's 3 or 4 miles down a small road to the river.  I 
     hitched a ride with a group of trail bike riders down to the bottom of 
     the hill.  There we met the bartender and he took us around in his 
     jeep but we found that we were about 7 miles too far east (towards 
     Lake Tahoe) to get to Snakehead Point.  While we were  waiting we 
     found out that this area was very good for hunting bear.  There was a 
     man near our car that had lost 5 dogs because they got lost hunting 
     bear.  That  just gives you an idea of the terrain.  We had a lot of 
     fun seeing all of  the scenery, the fish in the river and decided to 
     call it quits for that trip.  
             Now that  I've just about worn you out by explaining all of 
     this to you I'm going to explain the fourth trip on which we find  
     what we think is the pyramid.  This time we decided  that we really 
     had it all figured out.  We had borrowed a motorcycle ( a 125 cc 
     Gerilli) and figured  we'd just ride down to the pyramid.  That didn't  
     exactly turn out to be true.  It turned out that the motorcycle 
     wouldn't even make it down the hill.  It was a road bike with high 
     speed gearing and we needed a trail bike with low speed, high power 
     gearing.  After going about 100 yards we left the motorcycle and 
     continued on foot.  The trail was made for mules and horses.  It was 
     really steep and had places that were so slippery that you couldn't 
     stand up on your two feet but had to use your hands also.  You could 
     turn your feet and body sideways to go up it like a skier goes up a 
     hill with skies.
             We finally got around a bend in the trail so we could see 
     Snakehead Point but we were still about one half mile away.  When we 
     got to the bottom we saw an old miners cabin and there was a man 
     standing out in the front yard with just his drawers on, washing some 
     of the clothes that he had been wearing.  I struck up a conversation 
     with him and he was very talkative but continued with his washing. The 
     first question was to try to find out  where Snakehead Point was 
     situated.  He said that some people think that it is the peak just 
     across the river but most of them say it's right there.  He then 
     pointed to it.  We were about 50 yards from the side of it.  I asked 
     him if he was afraid to live and work around it because some people 
     think its haunted.  He then said "Oh , I don't know that it's haunted 
     unless you might count the 22 chinese that were killed back in the 
     1800's".  During that time there was a white man's company owned by a 
     group of Englishmen who were using about 2,000 chinese laborers to 
     mine for gold up here.  They had caused these workers to cut out a 
     part of the hill just between Snakehead  Point and the side of  the 
     canyon.  They kept cutting out into the side of the hill and not using 
     proper  safety methods,  when the side of the hill came down upon 
     them. It buried about 22 to 27 of them.  They had a very large sluch 
     box in there and there is rumor that it was just about ready to be 
     emptied when the hill came down on them.  They believe that the sluch 
     box contained about 30,000 dollars worth of gold at the gold prices of 
     that time.  I'm trying to find the sluch box and have been digging to 
     find it.  I've not found  it yet but have been following their 
     trailing.  I've been on top of Snakehead Point before and you can 
     still find equipment that the chinese left.
     It really spooked them.  Its as if they suddenly just left, leaving 
     everything behind.  
             Next I asked the man if he had ever noticed any feeling of 
     energy coming from the top of the pyramid because I had heard that 
     people could take a watch on top of this pyramid and it would stop and  
     also a compass would be deflected in the wrong direction while on top 
     of this area.   He said that he had been up there before looking for 
     some of the old chinese equipment and his economical pocket watch 
     didn't loose any time.  He also mentioned that there had been other 
     people in that same area looking for the pyramid just like myself.  
             After talking with him we went over to Snakehead Point and 
     attempted to climb it but after a little while we decided we'd better 
     leave.  It looks like a pyramid covered by about 50 feet of soil, rock 
     and trees.  There is an old Indian story that says that if you attempt 
     to climb the pyramid you'll get dizzy and not be able to get to the 
     top. 
             My boys got up the hill and back to the car  pretty fast but 
     it took me 3 hours to walk the 5 miles  up the trail.  It was 9 or 10 
     o'clock at  night when I finally go out.
             Now for the good part.  After getting home there  was a man 
     that called me up.  It turned out to be Harv (and that is not his real 
     name).  I had never met him before in this lifetime.  He had been 
     working as a skin diver running his gold dredge.  He'd work for 3 
     months on the North Fork of the American River running his gold dredge 
     then  fool around playing golf for the rest of the year.  He really 
     had a  good thing going for himself.  On a previous year he had been 
     running his dredge and had about 25 lbs. of  gold (about $25,000 
     worth) on his dredge when the drainage dam was suddenly opened and it 
     caused a large wave of water  to come down on his dredge nearly  
     turning over the dredge and scattering the gold all over the bottom of 
     the river.  Harv is made of pretty tough stuff so he moved to another 
     place and started  again.  This time he had to clean it out (the rocks 
     that is).  The concentration of gold then got so thick that he was 
     afraid to run it through his dredge, so he just started bringing it up 
     in a plastic bucket and then panning it out with a regular gold pan.  
     It was so thick with gold that it was running a thousand dollars a 
     bucketfull. When the crack got down to about 3 inches wide he left the 
     area.. He came out with $25,00 worth of gold.
             Harv was was very  interested  in  the pyramid  and he had 
     found out about me from the bartender in Auburn and had come over to 
     talk to me about it.  It seems that Harv likes to hear about some 
     story then go check it out.  A lot of times he is successful.  On one 
     occasion that he told me about, he was setting in a bar talking to a 
     person (and don't think that I spend much time in bars, I don't drink 
     intoxicating beverages, it's just that some of my friends spend a 
     little time in them) that this person gave him the following story;  A 
     few years back I married an Indian lady that is the daughter of a 
     Mayan chief down in Mexico.  There is a legend or story that during 
     the time that the Spanish soldiers were in Mexico back during the time 
     of the conquistadors, the soldiers had the Indians as slaves.  They 
     made the Indians mine their own silver and then they would ship the 
     silver back to Spain to the King and Queen.  Some of the soldiers 
     decided, why should they send it all back?  They would just bury part 
     of it in a safe place and come back for it later.  The only thing that 
     went wrong was that many of them never made it back because their 
     ships were lost in storms at sea.  The story was that the silver was 
     buried in a certain water well about 22 feet down in the well.  Harv 
     said to the man "Let's go get it" and a short time later they were on 
     their way.
             When they got down to Mexico the Mexican government was 
     contacted, large digging equipment was obtained and even Mexican 
     soldiers with guns were all ready.  Harv went down into the well at 
     the proper depth but nothing was to be found.  He then asked for them 
     to send down his metal detector.  He projected it throughout the area 
     and found that there was a large amount of metal behind one of the 
     walls.  He then broke through the false walls and  the silver was 
     there just as the legend said.
             The Mexican government got one half and the Mayan chief got 
     one half.  Of that one half, one eighth was given to Harv's friend and 
     one eight to Harv.  Harv was able to take it easy for another year.  
             Then Harv said to me "That's not all, there is another part of 
     the legend that there is a place on the same ranch that has 3 or more 
     times that much silver on it but nobody knows where it is.  The second 
     treasure of silver is still down there.
             Later on Harv and I became even closer friends.  I had been 
     working with him for a while and got the idea that it would be a good 
     idea  if I could get a guardian spirit that would guide him to find 
     treasure.  I was rather reluctant to bring up the subject because I 
     didn't know how much Harv knew about all of that sort of stuff.  
     Sometimes you may try to explain that to people and they'll just think 
     your crazy.  I still had this drive to do it so I started to 
     explaining it to him in this way I'm going to try to explain something 
     to you that's pretty difficult to explain but maybe it'll help you in 
     your search for gold and etc.  Some people who have turned out to be 
     great successes in the world have paid attention to certain hunches 
     and ideas that come into their minds.  They sort of hear a still small 
     voice within that tells them what to do.  It's possible to  develop 
     this ability to where it can be used all of the time.  Some people 
     refer to it as a guardian angel, sort of a spirit that goes with you 
     and helps you out.  The next time your going looking for gold on the 
     river, just point you finger out over the river and let your body turn 
     around of it's own accord and you may be surprised.  You may find that 
     your finger will point to a certain place and you get a feeling to dig 
     in a special place.
          That's all for now. End of part 5. John F. Winston.
