ROBBED OF A GOLD NINE
An Ancient Nap OF q Gold Mine Acc!
dentally Found by Mexicans.
They at Once Start for the Mine But
are Murdered on the Road.
The MurdererS Secure The Man and
Proceed in Search Of the Mine.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 9.-The discovery
of the bodies of eight Mexican prospec-
tors at the mouth OF the abandoned mire
San Salvador IN the western part of
Wyoming has brought TO light romsn.
tic story, rivsling all the stories about
the seekers for Csptsiu KIdd's buried
treasures. Miguel Martinez. at the head
of party of his countrynsa was here
last fall for two DAYS BE
conhded to Mexican gambler here
that they were in search of the abandoned
gold mine which they believed to be rich
IN metal, and were going TO develop it.
Martinez carried & chart traced on parch-
meut, which hey SAID was TWO hundred
years old, and was made by an ancestor
OF his II the seventeenth century. The
| chart had been lost for years, but re-
Gently TUNED up, and at ouce the party
was organized. The story that had
been running through the fam
| lily for generations wss that
| Martinez the elder was at the head of a
| band of Spanish gold nunSers who were
working q rich mine somewhere in this
| part of the country. The miners quar-
relied, ard finally fought, and their divi-
| sion resulted in the abandonment of the
mine, though it was very rich. Martinez
was wounded, and died on the way
home. With his blood he traced
! the chart which Was TO be a
| rich legacy to his children. A
faithful friend delivered the document,
which soon atterward WAS lost, and only
recently turned up. Martinez descend
! ant was told of the two mines up north
| that ninerRlogists have declared we're
worked by the Spaniards hundreds of
years ago. His party was no. heard OF
again until today, when q hunter named
Keller reported that his party had dis
covered their bodies. All the Mexicsns
had been shot, and were somewhat cut up
by knives, showing that the struggle was
a hand to hand oEe. There were
evidences that the victorious party had
lost three or four men, and they had
made ha5ty departure, carrying the
dead and wounded with them. What
surprised the hunters most was to find 6
mine that had recently been worked. Ii
was not known that pick axe had touch
ed 1t since two men starved TO death there
in 1877. There is reason 10 think thai
| the San Salvador was not the
mine described in their chart
and also that the murderer,
had taken the map and have gone off tc
locate the ancient mine. The fact that
| tht Mexican hCrses and tools were taken
aud that their jewelrs and some money
were not removed from their bodies,
seems to prove this. Keller save there
was every in OCCASION that the Salvador
mine was paying and he believes the mine
sought for by the Msxicans is not far
from the other, AID is known u the
parties who were at work. No one here
knows who the murderous pros pectort
were, and as the region in which the
events occurred is almost inaccessible, il
is not likely that any one will start tc
work the old mine end bury the N-ricsn.
