New Mexico’s Hidden Stories
The Guaidialupe Mountains of New Mexico (U.S.A.), says Mr Carl B. Livingston in the May Wide World Magazine, have their own stories of buried treasure. On the flats just outsVlo t.he canyon mouth, one of the richest gold trains that ever left Sacramento is said to have been held up by outlaws who had joined forces with Indians. According to the legend., the loot was split into four portions, one part of it being buried in t.he Guadalupes. Tho richest treasures of all, however, are the sixteen-mule loads of gold bars which are believed to have been left by the Spaniards in their flight from New Mexico during the great Pueblo Indian uprising in 1680. Every season brings its crop of treasure .hunters. Some of them aro looking for the “lost” Sublett mine; others are seeking the sign of the double cross, which is supposed to bo the key to the whereabouts of t.ho buried Spanish gold.
