Guided by information supplied
him by friend who at one time was
captive of Mexican bandits Adam
Fischer of San Antonio went into the
wilds of Mexico where. after 10
year search, he has found, he claims,
a cave in which S73,0OO,00O in gold
and silver bullion and Spanish octa-
onal dollars is hidden. He has sought
a concession from the Mexican gov
eminent to hiring out the treasure.
1t is believed that bandits stole the
coin and bullion from agents of the
old Spanish government while the
latter were trying to protect it from
falling into the hands of revolution
lists and the secret of the hiding place
died with them.
