SILVER RELICS FOUND
On Ranch. Owned by c. w. Post in
Cara County, Texas.

About two pounds and half of sill
Yer trimmings Of the bride, saddle and
clothing of some Spanish Grandee or
officer of Cornnado's> Army, was found
hidden away in a small,dry cave way
UP among the almost inaccessible rocks
on the 200, 900 acre ranch belonging to
c. w. Post, in Cara county, Texas,
about $50 miles west Of Fort Worth.
There are disks of silver about three
inches in diameter. and smaller disks.
evidently intended for the head piece
Of 4 bride. Then there are various
long strips intended to cover the straps
OF a bride Many Of these pieces are
r,idely carved and engraved. Among
the relics are a variety of chains at
tached to large silver earrings; at the
end Of these chains dangle small sill
yer crosses and crescents.
1t will be remembered that in about
1880 Coronado put off north from the
City of Mexico with small army,
with the avowed purpose of discovering
the mines from which the Aztecs Sc
cured the large quantities of gold and
silver everywhere in evidence. His
journey WAS continued north and
across the Rio Grande. then up through
this portion Of Texas and clear up onto
the Plains of Kansas. The point
where these silver relics were uncoy-
cred is a wild. rough and most pic
turesque spot. Imagine great
smooth plain with rich grass-covered
land extending as far as the eye can
reach!- That is the condition of a
part of this big ranch itself. Coming
from the West one suddenly reaches
an Immense step-off, averaging about
$50 feet deep-great rocks many times
perpendicular, and inaccessible There
are places where trails wind down, and
one or. two places where good roads
have been built to get off from this up
per plain to the lower plain. Once the
lower plain is reached, it in turn ex-
tends FOR many miles to the eastward.
When one reaches the great "step-
on a most beautiful picture lies be-
fore him; locking towards the East
there is an immense spread Of rich,
smooth land, and away off, IS miles,
| appears the low Double Mountain"
20 miles. "McKenzie's," about 40 miles.
Flat Top" while close by. about 8
miles, nestles the new, rapidly grow
ing town named after the owner Of
the ranch. Post City is located In
one Of the most beautiful spots posi-
bic to conceive. 1t is being rapidly
built up, most of the buildings being
constructed of a splendid quality Of
light gray sandstone.
Settlers are coming In and heing To-
Gated on the farms which Mr.. Post cut
out Of the big ranch. He builds for
the farmers, houses, out-buildings, puts
in an orchard on each farm. and in
this way the new settlers arc COM
fortably provided for on the start. :
