Hidden Gold in Mexico

Whether the report of the discovery
Of the 1ncas treasure at Chayaltaya,
Bolivia, is true or not, it is certain
that the conquistadores did not get
all the gold of the last Inca of Peru,
no: all the gold and precious jewels
OF the Mexican monarch. The story
is that the Incas' treasure withheld
from Pizarro and now discovered in
Bolivia, is worth 100000, and that
the Indians believe there is still much
more hidden away. Pizarro received
great sum from the Inca whom he
so cruelty treated and then killed, but
IN SO doing he missed greater
AMOUNT. which the Inca. hoping to
save his life. promised his tormentor.
In this country one sometimes hears
talk of great golden sun and other
treasure hidden securely from the
early Spaniards. One gentleman who
has the blood of Montezuma in his
veins and in whose family the tradi-
tons of the times of the conquest
have been preserved, has said that
probably fully $S0,OOO,OOO worth of
treasure escaped the hands of Cortes
and his followers. Where Is this treas
ure hidden? Some have said that 1t
was thrown into Lake Texcoco. and

not many years back a company. well
provided with funds, made extensive
excavations in the Pedregal, near Co
yoacan, on a spot indicated by tradi-
ton. A series of subterranean cham
bers was found. but no golden sun.
Both in Mexico and Peru gold was
hidden away from the greedy coll
quistadores by the Indians, who cher
ished the hope of making a successful
rising against their conquerors. That
hope has long died away. though much
of the hatred for the race of the con-
quistadores remains in the breast q:
the aborigine.
1t is quite probable that some fine
day much of Montezuma's hidden
treasure may be found here. by IL
lucky hit. Perhaps it is concealed in,
an idol cave in the southwestern part
of the Sierra surrounding this valley.
cave of which stories have been
told among the Indians. Whence has
come the gold that Indians living in
these mountains, so close to the city.
have brought here and sold to their
legal representative? There is a mys-
terry in all this. and greater mystery
in the whereabouts of Montezumas
treasure which remains untouched
