MoNTEzUMA's HIDDEN TREASURE.
Traditions Preserved in Family Say It's
Value Is $50. 900, 900.

W neither the report of the discovery of
the meas treasure at Chayaltaya. Be

conquistadoerS did not get all the gold
of the last Inca Of Peru. nor all the gold
and precious jewels of the Mexican mon.
arch. The story is that the Incas' treas
ure, withheld from PiZarro and now dis
covered IN Bolivia, is worth St6,000000,
and that the Indians believe there Is
still much more hidden away. Pizarro
received a great sum from the Inca.
whom he cruelty treated and then killed.
but IN SO doing he missed a 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 secretly from the early
Snaniards. One gentleman who has the
blood Of MonteZuma in his veins and il
whose family the traditions Of the times
OF the conquest have been preserved.
has said that probably fully $50, 000,0 600
worth of treasure escaped the hands Of
CoTtes and his followers. Where is this
treasure hidden? Some have said that
1t was thrown into Lake TeXcoco, and
not many years back a company wei
provided with funds made extensive cX-
cavationS in the Pedlegal. near Coyoa-
can, on spot indicated by tradition. A
series of Subterranean chambers was
found. but no golden sun.
Both in Mexico and Peru gold was
hidden away from the greedy conquista-
dores by the Indians, who cherished the
hope Of making successful rising
against their conquerors. That hope has
long died away, though much Of the
hatred for the race of the conquistadores
remains in the breast of the aborigines.
1t is quite probable that some fine day
much of Montezuma's hidden treasure
nay be found here by a lucky hit. Per.
haps it is concealed in an idol cave in
the southwestern part of the sierra sur
stories have been told among the In
dams Whence has come the gold that
the Indians living in these mountains so
close to the city have brought here and
sold to their legal representative There
is mystery in all this, and a greater
mystery in the whereabouts of Montezu-
mas treasure which remains untouched.
