Western Couples Romantic Quest /
Leads to Finding of Fortune /

DENVER, Colo, Nov-Following a
courteous trail for more than twenty
years brought j. w. Sehrimshar of
this city to spot that covered part
Of buried city and a mine Of rich
mineral deposits. In addition to val
liable ore Schrimsher declares he has
discovered important relics of an
early American period
Schrimsher, according to his story,
sat beside a road leading out Of
In June, 1895. He was eating his
In an apparently ordinary rock In the
sharp sunlight met his eye.
He picked up the rock and discov-
cred that one side had at one time
been polished. He examined it more
closely. to find that it was dimiy in
scribed With his knife he sought to
decipher the inscription by scraping
the side. He found 1t, he says, to be
a compass with the numerals 1851"
To him they meant nothing
Found Other Markers"
His curiosity was aroused and he
returned, be says, to the vicinity Of
his find few days later. A search
revealed a similar rock, less bright
than the first, but also bearing an In
scription-this time the numerals
'11-11-1787-75." The second rock
was less than 1000 feet from the first,
and Schrimsher pressed to find 9th
ers.
Puzzled at the strange impressions
which each bore and meeting with
failure at each successive attempt to
learn their meaning. Schrimsher
finally set out with a team and Wag-
on to follow them Ito the end"
With his wife, who at first scoffed
at the idea, Schrimsher left Spring
field in the latter part of July, 1895.
Patiently the couple drove west
ward, at times remaining several
weeks in one spot where the trail of
markers was lost, either through re-
moval or the work of the elements.
When 1t was picked up later, on they
pressed until oyertaken by winter
when, according to Schrimsher, they
returned to their home In Springfield.
Their search, extending over four
months. had led them to a point
eighty-seVen miles west Of Spring
field.
Inc trail was taken up the Hollow
ing spring where Schrimsher and his
wife had left it in the fall. The sum-
mer's search took them 274 miles
west of their home in Springfield. and,
instead of returning, they decided to
work on a farm through the winter
and continue the search in the spring.
This is the procedure which Schrim-
sher says he ad his wife followed
until they reached Colorado, three
years later, when they began to make
their home in Denver and Pueblo.
Trail Became More Difficult.
The trail became more and more
difficult to follow as the couple con-
tinued in Colorado, where snow and
rock slides combined to remove
many of the markers or obscure them
from view by coverings of earth and
rock 1t was not until the fall Of 1911
that Schrimsher, after having covered
thousands of miles In relentless
search for the trail when II was lost
for periods of several summers, ulti-
mates reached the spot where he was
destined to unearth prehistoric relics
and mine rich In mineral.
Schrimsher and his wife were not in
search of gold, he says. They had be-

Found New Kind OF Marker,
They reached a marker at last
which bore circle within which were
inscribed two crescents. It was a
new inscription, and Schrimsher with
a shovel proceeded to dig out the
rock which bore it, He struck a
wall, then a sunken roof. He dug
through II, and beneath it he found
the skeleton of man.. About the
body were numerous marked stones
and a large quantity Of charcoal. The
stones bore the same inscriptions
which markers along the trail had
revealed.
On succeeding summers, Schrims-
her says, he and his wife returned.
Their search revealed other skeletons,
each packed in charcoal and surround
ed by the inscribed stones. Schrims.

firish the investigation before he
made 1t known to the world.
More Buildings Uncovered.

sher says, were uncovered last sum

found crude hammers of stone and
tempered copper and other nipple
