an x Then there were letters grouped this
way: on top @ to the left, s. at the bottom
and another s at the right. We could not
figure out what earth the letters meant.
They certainly meant something. I studied
and studied over the matter, and then one night
woke up with the meaning flashing through
my mind
Here the countryman paused picked up
stick and drawing diagram on the ground
spelled out the message that had come to him
like flash.
"An X he began always means TO- The
rest is easy. Go South Ten Steps,"
And that is the way one United States Geo

under.
The Big Bend of TexaS-the country half
encrcled by the twisting canyon of the Rio
Grande for hundreds of miles below Ell PaSo-
is just as good for prospectors as Arizona. The
Chihuahua Trail over which millions of dollars
in gold and silver were once hauled, traversed
the Big Bend Not all this money that started
across arrived at its destination. Besides, while
looking through this wide and wild region for
any one Of dozens Of hidden treasures one
might run smack into the great Niger Mine,
so long lost
Some years ago John Humphries was q cow
man in the Big Bend below Maria. One time
when he was hunting cattle over in Mexico an
old Mexican to whom he had given q few
cartridges or some such trifle asked him If he
knew certain mountain a days ride across
the Rio Grande.

the depression that he could not bulge It.
HUMPHREYS rode two miles to fence, took out
a picket and dragged it back. Using it as a
lever he finally managed to overbalance the
bowlder. The hole thus uncovered was only
three or four feet deep.
HUMPHREYS got down in it, and with his bare
hands cleaned out gravel and loose stone until
his finger nails were worn to the quick. He
found what he took to be human TOOTH just
one. He quit and went to the ranch.
The next day he returned with pick and
a spade and worked some more. The material
he dug into seemed to him to have come from
the outside. He had no idea how deep the
original hole had been. He saw that the
shortest way to clean it out would be to use
dynamite.
Accordingly he went to Maria after dynamite.
Now the Madero revolution in Mexico going
on at this time and United States officers were
keeping a strict watch over all arms, ammu-
milton, etc., purchased along the border. When
HUMPHREYS went to buy the dynamite he was
closely questioned to what he was going to
do with it. He was truthful as well as secret.
He refused to talk and the dealer refused to
SELL
Humphries gave up all plans for Immediately
dynamiting the hole. He did not propose to
get down inside of it and work for days like
Tonk." He wanted no partners. The revolution
dragged on for 10 years, with guards Viligant
along the border. For that matter detach-
n1ent of troops is still stationed at Maria.
In the meantime Humphries went to Canada.
He is still there, and nearly every night, he
says in a letter, he dreams of the mountain
and the Is muleskins of gold Some manana
he intends to return to the Big Bend and
dynamite that hole.
But, shucks, If anybody wants to dig-and
all of us are at heart Coronados own true
children-there is no reason why he should
have to follow a vision or star across half
the continent. After pursuing the CLEAN clear

mountain. I have ridden over it and all around
it. Last Fall killed panther in the canyon
just west of it."
We'll" said the Mexican, At wish I could
ride over the mountain as you say you have
ridden should see something that you have
evidently not seen. Why should I not tell
you? I myself am afraid to go back into
Texas. You need not ask why. The knowledge
have does no man any good You are my
friend. I tell you something.
Listen! Mucho tempo pasado when the
King of Spain owned all this world a little
escuadron of his troops were going from the
western mines to Vera Cruz. They were trav-
cling along the old Indian trail that passes
through the Sierra Vieja when ApacheS way
laid them They made a stand, killed one
Indian and drove the others off.
But the Espanoles knew that the Apaches
would come back with more warriors They
knew that they must ride fast. With them
they had IS muleskins of gold. They must
leave it. They looked for a good place to hide
it.
IA SCOUT quickly brought word that there
was fine place on the mountain. They
took up the pack mules loaded with the gold
and found themselves on wide fiat rock. Down
in the fiat rock was deep hole They put the
n1uleskins in that hole. Then they put the
dead Apache on top of the muleskins-for a
patron, you know. Then they rolled a great
round bowlder so that it would cover the hole.
mo Espanol ever came back to roll that rock
away. The patron is still down in that hole
with what he had to guard. 1t is yours to
take"
HUMPHREYS heard the story through and con-
sidered 1t lust another Mexican yarn" Six
years went by without his giving it second
thought.
Then one day his riding took him to the top
of the mountain about which the Mexican had
told him. His recollection of the yarn was at
first rather vague, but it clarified when his eye
caught a large bowlder bullying out of q fiat
rock. "Just for beans" he decided to investi-
gate. The heavy bowlder fitted so firmly into
