SEEKS TREASURE
IN CHALK CAVE
Spanish Gold Buried In Colo
rado Years Ago.
SAID TO EE SB0.C3O.C0O.
Coint, Gens and Nuggets. Guarded by
Human Skulls and Strange, Weird
Figures of Stone, Repose In Chests
In Place Where Spaniards Sought
Refuge When Pursued by Enemies.
Somewhere at tho base of Mount
rriueeton, eight miles! southwest of
Iiuena Vista. Colo., where the chalk
cliffs stand like sentinels, iu the Chalk
Creek canyon, there lies buried a Span-
lsh treasure of fabulous richness, said
to bo approximately $M),000,0O0.
It Is said to he stored away behind
the mighty walls of one of the winy
winding secret channels which pene
trate that particular section and reach
far Into the bowels of tin massive
mountain. It is said these chests ot
gold are guarded by human skulls with
strange and weird figures of stone.
According to the man' who Is now In
quest of this Spanish treasure, there
lire old wooden chesU with rusted
locks and worm eaten covers, bulging
in many places with gold nuggets run
ning In yellow streams from the rot
ten sides. They lie on the floor of tho
cave ouco used by the Spaniards as
their hiding places trom the roving
hands ot Indians or when too closely
pursued by enemies of other kluds.
Values Untold.
Nuggets as large as or larger than the
largest Klondike nugget and precious
stones nnd coins so rare that their
worth can never be cstimatcd-thl
is the dream of Thomas . Summers
of Nathrop, a few miles south of Hue
na Vista.
Summers has been working on the
secret of the old mountain for several
years, but it was only recently that hia
Ktrnniro mission became known, lie
has worked alone, confiding in nobody.
Little attention was paid to him. and.
In fact, he let it become generally be
lieved that ho was simply prospecting.
With dim and thumb worn drawings,
to which be is constantly referring, ho
believes he will soon be in possession
of the $HO,0O0,(HH).
According to his story, there are cer
tain skulls and figures of animals carv
ed on tho face of the clilTs. which are
to be seen only when the full moon
shines nt n certain angle overhead.
w hich will lead bim to the entrance to
tho cave.
Many Caverns.
There are thousands of these small
caverns In tho chalk cliff at (hut point.
Just at what period of the year, month
or week it is that the rays of the moon
will reach the certain spot on the cliiT
Is n mystery he is trying to solve.
Summers Is not the only man who
has looked for the hurled treasure.
Some years ago a man came from tho
east with drawings and sketches.
through which he hoped to locate the
lost treasure. He worked several years
before giving up the quest.
