He set about in a slow and cautious
manner to become better friends with
the Indians. and particularly with the
three who had brought the gold to
the store. They came in from time
10 time, grew little more laxative as
their visits increaSed-for Adams knew
their iargon-and each time they came
they made additional purchases and
made payment in gold dust or nuggets
as they did on the instance of their
first visit
Adams finally preached the subject;
he asked to be led to the place from
which their gold came. The Indians at
first refused, but Adams, biding his
time, as cautious as ever, at last WIc-
ceeded in inducing them to show him
the mine. The journey was under
taken at night The three Indians and
Adams rode away at twilight; no one
knew of Adams intention and no one
suspected his motive. The four rode
all night, and toward morning the
party halted at the mouth of a can
yon.
The Indians insisted that Adams dis
mount and be blindfolded; they would
not proceed further without this pre-
caution. The trader submitted, and
the journey was continued. The men
rode on in silence for an hour or two,
then halted again and dismoUnted. The
horses were tied and Adams was led up
the side of a steep hill, still blind
folded, and into cave. The air was
damp and cool, as though the cavern
extended far back into the mound. The
Indians removed the oandage and in
vited Adams to look about him. The
floor of the cave was Uttered with
gold-nuggets and ingots; it seemed to
I g.
of the old races of Mexico who. it was
said, had come this far north in their
effort to secrete their treasures from
the S9aniards.
Adams begged TO be allowed to carry
some OF the wealth away, but the In
dams refused. His eyes were again
bandaged, and he was led away as he
had come. Just as the Indians slipped
the kerchief over his eyes Adams lifted
his gaze a moment from the gold and
looked out the mouth of the cave. A
short distance away he saw three
peaks. alike in height and shape, but
no other marks by which he might
know the place again. He was allowed
to see no more. The return journey
was accomplished in silence.
Adams sold the remainder of his
goods and spent all his money in look
ing for the cave. Every effort, how
ever, failed. With all his money gone,
half starved and ragged, he made his
way to Tucson, where he told his story
to Judge Ab-am Griscom Adams zeal.
was transferred to the judge; he agreed
to assist the prOSpectOr and equip him
with enough for another search for the
three peaks and the cavern near them.
Adams returned to the Navajo country
and spent several months searching for
the treasure. He was driven out and
in a fight with his old friends was
wounded. But nothing could swerve
him from his purpose to find the cav
ern. His provisions became exhausted
and he returned to Tucson to lay in
another supply. Judge GriscOm came
to his aid again.
The search was continued for three
years Nearly every portion of the res
ervation was gone over by the pros
pector. At the end of that time, al
though the judge had become discOur-

aged and had ceased to help Adams,
and the others of whom he secured aid
had followed suit, the man who had
seen the treasure was as confident and
enthusiastic as ever. He fitted out
several expeditions himself, was
wounded again. and at last returned
helplessly bankrupt and ruined in
health to Tucson to again enlist the aid
of Judge Griscom. The Judge listened
patiently to all Adams had to say, but
in the end he replied that he could no
longer furnish funds for the search.
Adams begged and pleaded with him.
There is only a small portion of the
whole reservation left unexplOred,' he
insisted. The treasure is nowhere else.
1t must be theres''
But the Judge was ebdurate: he
would not yield. Adams determined to
make his way down to Phoenix and
there attempt to persuade his other
frlend-a man named Spangler-tO fit
out final expedition. He mounted the
stage bound for Phoenix, but before the
coach left the town he heard of Spang-
ler's death. Adams remained in the
vehicle; as it turned the corner of the
long white road that leads away to
Phoenix, darkness came down sudden
ly, as ii does on the western plains.
The driver heard the door open, turned
IN time to see man spring from the
slowly-moving coach. saw a flash of
steel and heard the report that fol-
lowed. Grown weary with the long
search. at last discouraged and dis
heartened, Adams had placed the muz-
zle of the gun to his forehead and fired
the shot that killed him.
