The Story Of Eldorodo According to
Modern Research.

Eldorado has at last been located,
the golden sacriicial raft of it's king
has been found in a lake in the Co
lombian mountains, and now an expe-
d1tlon is on its way to drain off the
waters of the lake and get some more
OF the treasure Of the sgilded one. Z
That region, the rumors of which fired
the Imagination of the adventures
from the time of the discovery of the
New World down to the end of the
eighteenth century, and lured the con-
Questadores through the forests and
mountains of South America, and
which even at the beginning Of the
seventeenth century exerted a master
influence on the schemes of Sir Walter
Raleigh, has given up to modern re-
search the secrets which it guarded for
four hundred years. -& -stzs @s s.

which had been engendered by te
wealth of Mexico and Peru But fol
the last few years the old legend had
been studied, the old chronicles have
been examined and the chaff winnow-

one Spanish adventurer declared was
the capital of the desired country. Now
the only authority upon which the
name Manoa rests as that of the capi-
tai of Eldorado is that of one Marti-

from a Spanish ship. He returned to
civilization and declared that he: had

The story of Eldorado, as modern
research has it, is this: Long before
the days of Columbus, and down to his
time, probably, there reigned in the
highlands of what is now Colombia a
mighty king who was in alliance with
the Incas of Peru. His people were
the Chinchas. Stretching southwark
from Bogota to this day can be seen
remnants Of the old highway which
connected the kingdom of the king Of
the Chinchas with the domains Of his
great ally Of Peru. Now the Chinchas
We're sun worshipers, and their king
claimed descent from the sun. For all
that is known Of his ancestry he might
have been also brother to the moon
and first cusin to all the fixed stars.
But for him and his people it suffced
that he was a descenda Of the: sun.
Every morning at the rising OF the
sun the king came forth in state to
do homage to his ancestor, and the
mountains and the valleys resounded
with the acclamations of his people.
Their places OF .Wor rship were upon the
shores of streams or Of lakes, and
of all the holy shores, the shores Of
Lake Guatavita were the most holy.
To the margin Of this lake used to
repair pilgrims from all parts Of the
kings domains, as now pilgrims 60
to Mecca or to Rome, and offer their
tributes They came to those wat
.ers as the Brahmin Of India goes to the
Ganges, for the waters thereof were
sacred. s.
The pilgrims all brought offerings
of gold and precious stones and cast
them into the lake for the propit
ton OF the sun god On occasions 81
high festivals the king himself repair
