Stories OF gold deposits in South America have
been frequent from the time OF the conquest Of
the empire Of the Incas, now Peru. Bolivia,
Ecuador, and Colombia, by PiZarro, in 1926. At
that time, so history relates, the aborigines told
him that the treasures captured by him at Cur
90 and Quito were small In comparison to tho
riches to be found in the land they called In
their language GUYANA" bounded by the
Amazon and Orinoco rivers, the Andes, and
the Atlantic Ocean. This and was after
ward spoken Of by Europeans az Guiana.
The aborigines asserted that in Ouyan-
ma, surrounded by impassable forests. a
fourishing. empire existed. This was the
empire OF the Roucouyennes II possessed. they
said, marvellous riches and numerous mines OF
precious stones and metals. In fact. they said
that most OF the gold in. Peru came from this
wonderful country. Gold abounded In such
quantities there that it was even used in the
manufacture of weapons and household uten-
sils. IL was such a common metal that the
palaces and public buildings were covered with
roofs fashioned OF the metal. Among the re-
markable tales which they related was one that
II was the custom of the King OF this wonderful
country to be daily anointed with oil and then
be literally covered with gold dust from head
TO foot. although IL Is problematical what pleas
ure his Majesty derived from this custom.
