$4,000 in gold and silver.
Adam Fischer, recently returned

the Blanco cave, with its great treas
ure trove, He discovered 1t once be-
fore, but was unable to find it when
he returned.
Fisher is now awaiting the decision
Of the Mexican government on his ap
plication for a concession to remove
the hoard.
The story OF the gold and silver
bars and Spanish octagonal dollars

ish government, it Is claimed that

took the gold and silver from the
treasury and hid 1t in the Cavallo
Blanco cave, in the Cerro de Silla
