They say that the treasure Is buried near

amount in Mexican money buried at some
point along the banks Of the Brazos River
Many excavations have been made to locate
the buried treasure. both on Pond Creek
and the Brazos River. These efforts were not
only made by home people, but strangers
have gone in and exosvated, among whom
were Mexlcans, A few years ago It was no
uncommon thing TO see deep holes dug along
the banks OF these streams, presumably by
parties in search OF the lost treasure, but
