darkly the gold bars, obviously hid
den there for centuries.
The bars bore the seal of the
old Spanish crown.
Famous Lost Mine
The theory was that there, at
the foot of the Santa Maria noun
tains, was the famed La Estrella
mine which proSpectors have
sought for 200 years. 1t was sug-
gested that natives, outraged at
the cruel treatment of the conquiS-
tadoreS. ambuShed a treasure train,
killed all of its men and buried
them with their gold and personal
belongings in the mine tunnel. This
belief was strengthened because
mingled with the bars We're rusted
weapons and gold mining and gold
washing equipment.
The first story was that the
prospectors found 35 bars. As soon
as police arrived they reported to
the government that not 35 bars
but 80 were found-and now the
story is that there were 100.
This is explained by the state
ment that, maddened by the find,
they fell out among themselves.
Van Steck, the Frenchman, told
provincial authorities that he left
the scene to report the find to
the government and file a treasure
trove claim which would give the
proSpectors so per cent of their
find.
He alleged that Hill, the German,
told natives that he-Van Steck-
would not return and that the ma
tives the prospectors had hired
could not be paid Van Steck said
he returned, reassred the natives,
and Hill fled.
These charges convinced author
tiles here that they had better act
promptly. Col. Manuel Pine, chief
of police of Panama, left for the
spot Sunday with three chartered
planes and police reinforcementS.
