As the "legend ofthe Haunted House.
must necessarily be deieyred for time,
| have concluded to offer in lieu thereof,
some further statements of the gold
digging IN Moore's Run, which are based
upon existing facts and will, no doubt,
be useful as we'll as interesting to those
whose imaginations picture the ''heaps
and pots OF gold' lying buried. and only
waiting for some adventurous hand to
snatch them from unknown obscuritv.'
A second version of the manuscript
story speaks Of it as being found in En-
gland, and brought from there to this
country about the year 1929, for the eX-
press purpose OF assisting in finding the
gold huoWn to be buried on the tribu-
lary waters of Back Creek. This paper
describes the exact courses, distances
etc. of Back Greek and of Moore's Run,
and said the money was buried at the
foot Of large tree, which with two
others OF the same kind, (beech,) formed
a triangle. The second tee was mark
ed ar Nneveh," and the third, Ill: d:
II: 1860; and with some other unknown
heroglyphics. Now this was thought
conclusive evidence aud many fruitless
searches were made along Moore's Run
for these trees, while in fact the trees
were nearly.a mile distant on "Grove's
Run" This assertion may startle many
who firmly believe that Moore's Run is
the Ell Dorado, but | will convince all
incredulous persons by a very few rea-
sons.
LIST Moore's Run, according to the
memory Of the oldest inhabitant, was
never ndvigable; while Groves Run is
nor naylgable for vessels more than a
mile.
2nd. Three stumps of Beech trees
now form a triangle near the mouth of
tue stream.
3rd. The headleSs form of Capt. Kidd
alias Black beard, ais R. Nineveh, is Of
ten seen nor wandering along the banks,
dressed in goldiace, and with plratical
sword at his side.
4th. The remains of a wharf are now
seen near the source OF this stream, on
the land of Joshua Clayton, Esq.
! 9th. No gold has ever been found in
Moore'S Run.
From these facts, we deduce the fol-
! loving reasoning and CONCLUSION. T.
Groves Run is navigable, and this
wharf and form and the stumps are still
+ visible, then it is more than probable
that the gold OF ar. Nineveh" is buried
here; which probability is changed to
certainty by the deciphering OF the
hieroglyphics spoken of before. Groves
Run Is the third Qll) tributary stream,
the three beach stumps now form the
triangle; II, the money is seventeen
feet from the stream, and 1860 yards, or
one mile. from its source. How easy
the solution and how fixed the locality.
The gold-diggers OF "Moore's Run"
without any deliberation, made their
frutess attempts, while the simplest
course ofreasoning would have changed
their efforts, and most, probably, crown
ed them with success. The Ninereh
family once, 1--WE belleve,) lived in the
old pond House," and this stream flows
obliquely across the land once attached
to it. How natural then for Capt. Kidd
to bury his treasures on his "native
heath" where the future descendants
of his race, like those of Ali Bahia
might discover and profit by it.
The mystery seems made clear. Lei
the wise gold-digger in future follow the
courses of Groves Run for one mile
make his calculation, find the stumps
and if the "gold-lated" spirit or somt
other, does not deter, he will be the for
tunate man; and confer benefit on the
human race by settling forever the dis
puted point, "whether money is or il
not buried on the banks of Groves (no
Moore's) Run" J.
