Traditions
(Copyright, WW. by Frank O. Carpenter)
.KCOS, Peru. June 7. Have you
Ul ever heard of Urcos? It Is a
I little mud town on. the rail-
runu uaiwwn iruzco ana LaKe
Tltlcaca. It Is more than two
miles above the sea. high un
in the Andes and not far from Lake
Urcos, In which aro said to be burled
treasures of the Incas worth many mil
lions. When the Spaniards under Plzarro
had killed the Inca king Atahualpa they
marched upon Curco. The Indians knew
their greed for the precious metals, and
they took most of their treasures from
the capital city and secretly buried them.
According to tradition, they threw mil
lions of dollars' worth of gold Into this
lake, and with other things the great
golden chain that ran around their main
plaza. This plaza remained intact untlt
a few years ago. It was about BOO feet
long and several hundred feet wide, so
that the length of the chain was prob
ably between 1,000 and 2,000 feet. The
chain was pure gold, wrought into links
about a foot long and as large around
as the wrist of a man. The links were so
heavy that a man could not lift more
than one of them at a time, and It Is
eaid that hundreds of Indians were re
quired to carry the chain. They took it
Into the lake, and there It Is supposed
to He to Uils day, although many have
searched for It in vain. The treasure
hunters have dived Into the water and
clawed over the mud near the shore.
They have also dragged the lake with
grappling hooks, but in places it is ex
ceedingly deep, and so far the treasure
had not been discovered. At one time a
syndicate was organized to drain the
lake. This syndicate had a capital of
J3.000.000 and Its plan was to tunnel the
mountalnsldo. But the rock was too
tough and the enterprise was abandoned.
Once "Wealthy Tribe.
The treasurers of the Incas were not
confined to Cuzco. I have heard stories
of burled hoards all along the Andes from
Panama to Lake Tltlcaca. Thiy had
vast quantities of gold and silver In
' Quito, and at Cerro Ce Pasco I fund a
party of Americans and British win were
prospecting for one of these hoards. They
, have already spent thousands of dollars
and are sinking mora every day. Wnlle
I was before the vault of tho Cuzco
cathedral I was shown a golden box
weighing thlrty-slx pounda made of the
plates, that wero torn from the Inca
Temple of the Sun, and was told that that
cathedral was largely built by Inca gold,
I understand that tho treasures of gold
that were stored on the holy Islands of
the sun and moon wero thrown Into Lake
Tltlcaca, and I hear otlier traditions of
the vast amounts of gold and silver tho
Spaniards failed to get That which they
obtained was greater than the wealth of
Croesus. Tho umount taken from tho
temples of Cuzco alone Is said to havo
been worth more than JW,000,000, and a
pnrt of this wont to Cajamarca to free the
Inca emperor who had come In friendship.
Ho was treacherously Imprisoned by
Plzarro. Ho -was carried to Cajamarca In
u litter of massive gold covered with a
cloth embroidered with plumes of tropical
birds. This cloth was studded with gold
and silver plates. Atahualpa's hair was
decorated with gold. He had on a golden
crown, and around his neck was a collar
of emeralds.
Gave Room Fall of Gold.
At the start Plzarro treated Atahualpa
-well but a little later on charged him
with trea'ehery, and put him In a prison
about fourteen feet square. .The Inca
king took a stone and scratched a mark
on the wall as high as he could reach,
telling Plzarro that he would fill the
room to that height with gold If he
could only be free. This proposition was
accepted, and gold In the shape of vases,
utensils and plates was brought In from
all parts of the empire. It was melted
down by the Indians under the direction
of the Spaniards. When the prison room
was filled to above the mark made by
Atahaulpa, he was released. But he was
still kept under surveillance, and a little
later 'was accused of plotting against the
Spaniards. He was given a mock trial,
and was condemned to be burned, his
execution being brought about largely by
Friar Valverde, who was afterward made
bishop of Cuzco.
During my stay In Cuzco I visited the
Temple of -tho Sun, upon whose, founda
tions now stand the church and convent
;of the Dominicans. This was known by
the Incas as "The Corloancha," or the
"place of gold." It was rectangular on
three sides, with a great oval at the back,
and Its walls were two stories high and
altogether about 1,200 feet long. These
walls were surrounded by a thick cornice
, or border of gold about eight Inches thick,
and where the wall Joined the roof there
was a broad golden band. The roof was
covered with gold, and the Inner walls of,
the temple were literally plated with It,
vegetables and vines of all sorts being
engraved upon them,
i
1 Preclons Sletal Galore.
Opposite the entrance to the temple
was a mighty plate of solid gold, heavily
lncrusted with emeralds and precious
atones. This represented a human face
. surrounded with rays. It was the Image
of the sun whom the Incas worshiped,
and used gold In doing so. They consid
ered that metal sacred to the sun, and
often referred to it as tho tears of that
heavenly body. On both sides of the
image were the embalmed bodies of tho
Incas of the past, each seated on a chair
of solid gold.
. In addition to the Temple of the Sun,
the Incas had temples to the stars and
moon. The traditions say that there were
.chapels to these heavenly bodies In the
great temple at Cuzco, and it is whispered
sthat evidences of these have recently
lieen discovered. When I went' through
tho church my guide was not permitted
to go with me. The holy father In charge
performed this duty himself, and tho
' guldo thought that It was to prevent me
from learning what they had recently
discovered.
, All of the ornaments and utensils de
voted to tho religion of the Incas were
made of gold and sliver. In the great
hall of the sun there were golden ewers
which held the water, used at the time
of the sacrifices, and there were twelve
i silver Jars filled with Indian corn. There
was a golden llama with a golden fleece,
and also golden birds and golden flowers,
all of life size.
Vnlanlilra In Cejnetrry.
The Spaniards found a vast amount of
gold In the cemeteries of the Incas. Some
of those monarchs after death had their
royal bowels filled with gold. Gold was
burled wtlh them. There Is a record that
one Garcia Gulterrez paid one-fifth of
the treasures he found In the graveyards
at Trujlllo to the Spanish crown. Thlii
ivas only 20 per cent of the whole and It
shows that his discoveries netted hint
oVer 677,000 castellanos of that precious
metal. They are now finding gold In the
excavations being made at Teorhuanaso
and that In the shape of gold and silver
of LosT: Treasures of
plates tacked to tho heads of mummies
and on skulls.
The building of the great granite cathe
dral In Cuzco, which stands on tho plaza
near the ancient site of one of the Inca
palaces, was brought about by the dis
covery of an Inca treasure. Its origin
was In a miraculous dream of the bishop.
In this dream the Virgin Mary appeared
before the bishop and told him that she
wanted a cathedral in Cuzco. She fixed
the location on the ancient plaza of the
Incas and described the grand building
as It now is, Tho bishop replied that his
people wero poor, that he had no money
and that he could not possibly raise the
money needed. Thereupon the Madonna
directed him to go to a place near Cuzco
and dig. There he would uncover some
of the lost treasures of the Incas. This
was duly reported to the people, and, as
the story goes, they went with the bishop
in a great procession to the place desig
nated. They dug down into the earth
and there found a large store of gold. It
was with this gold that they began the
cathedral which, although here far off
from the sea and between tho walls of
the Andes, Is one of the finest churches
of the new world.
Cathedral la Gorgeous.
I have already described the cathedral
of Cuzco. All told it is perhaps more
gorgeous than waa Coricancha, the Inca
temple of the Sun. It Is a vast museum
of gold carvings and beautiful paintings.
One of Its treasures 1b' a Ufe-elzed figure
of the Christ fastened to a wooden cross
by great nails of solid gold. The figure Is
decorated with Jewels and the pedestal
or car upon which the cross stands is
plated with silver and lncrusted with
diamonds.
This Image Is greatly revered by the
Indians and also by the other people of
Cuzeo. They carry It around through the
streets on Good Monday, at which time
they kneel down on the sidewalks and
pray before It. They call it the Lord of
the Earthquakes and believe that their
city Is safe frdm seismic disturbances as
long as the annual procession takes place.
This comes from a tradition that the
Christ was once left In tho church be
yond the hour usually set for the proces
sion, when the mountains began to sway
and an earthquake occurred which It was
thought would swallow the city. There
upon the Christ was brought out and the
earth ceased Its quaking.
Story of Lost Treasure.
Another story of lost treasure relates
to a Cuzco white man of Spanish descent
whom the Lord blessed with numerous
children. It Is the custom he-e that a
godfather shall look after and provide
for his godchild; and so, as this man
was poor, he tried to add to his resources
by getting a corps of good godfathers.
So as the lnfants came one after -another
he named each in honor of one of
the distinguished citizens of the (own.
The citizens, however, did not respond
and the man grew poorer and poorer. At
last he had had nine babies, each of
whom had been given a rich godfather,
but there was no help forthcoming. Toe
father swore that he would leave the rich
and choose as the patron of his next child
the first man he met on the street after
Its birth. In due time the stork came
again, and the man, rushing out, saw a
poor Indian driving a caravan of llamas
into the town. He stopped him and told
him he wanted him to be godfather to his
child. The Indian objected, saying that
he waa poor and not fit to be godfather to
a white child. The man then told of his
vow and finally persuaded the Indian to
accept the position.
Wood Tarn. Oat Gold.
In due time the baby waa baptized and
the Indian appeared at the ceremony a
Its godfather He kissed his godson r.s
he left the church and the next day
came back into Cuzco with a score sf
llamas, loaded with wood. He took this
wood to tho father of hlB godchild, ray
ing that ho had brought what he could
and that he must accept tho wood as a
gift. The man was thanked and the
wood was duly stored away lr" the court
of the house. Some time after that the
bundles of sticks and roots were opened;
and Inside each was"found a Ereat bag
of gold In nuggets and dust. In the
meantime the Indian had disappeared
and could not be found. The man took
tho gold and built two large houses on the
street called Triumph. If you do not
believe this story como to Cuzco, and
the people will show you the street and
point out the houses.
Searched nuii Found.
Another treasure story Is the tale of an
Indian woman 100 years old. It relates
to a great hoard of gold that was hid
den In the Andes by one of the chiefs,
who was murdered before he camo back
to Cuzco. This treasure has long been
searched for In vain by both foreigners
and Peruvians. Not long ago this old
Indian woman, being about to die, sent
word to a haclendado of Spanish descent
for whom she nad wonted, usklng him to
hasten to her. He reached her hut In
tho mountains Just In time to got her
last message. This waa that her maternal
grandmother, who had died eighty years
before, had given her a word that would
Indicate where this treasure lay. The
word was an Indian ono and It meant
the Lake of Two Stones. The old woman
was questioned, but she would tell noth
ing more. That night she died. The story
went forth and the whole country was
searched by treasure hunters, all seeking
for the Lake of Two 8 tones. At last 'a
narrow valley was discovered containing
a lako In which there were two tall rocks
rising high over the water. The Investiga
tors drained the lake. They dug down
under the largest atone and there found
a platform of masonry, covering a cham
ber in which the treasure was found. The
secret was kept from the official for
fear of confiscation. And so no one knows
Just how much gold was discovered, but
It was of such value that It made all of
those who participated In the division
rich.
Some More Gold.
Another of those Inca traditions relates
to a cave In a mountain called Plllchan,
near Cuenca in Ecuador. This cave con
tains a mighty treasure of gold, but Its
entrance is closed by a giant of granite,
under whose arm Is a hole which Is open
only once a year and that on Good Fri
day. Then, and then only, the giant
raises his arm and tho man who can be
there at that time can crawl In under It
and get an Immense treasure of gold.
As the story goes, the gold Is In piles
so labeled that only one pile Is to be taken
at a time. If one man takes only the
assigned quantity he will get away
safely. But If he Is greedy and takes
more, he will be squeezed to death by the
arm of the giant as he goes out, This is
the belief held by the Indians. Many
superstitious people have looked for that
cave, but so far neither the cave nor the
giant has yet been discovered.
A fairly well authenticated tradition
refers to an Inca named Rumlnagul, who
Is said to have carried away the gold
and silver of Quito and buried them.
These treasures were taken from the
palaces of Atahualpa and from the tern
pise and convents of the virgins of the
sun at that place. It Is said that eorni
of the gold was started to Cajamarca In
order that It might aid in freeing Ata-
haulpo, but that Itumlnagua feared the
treachery of the Spaniards and buried
the gold on the way. This story came to
the Spaniards, and Sebastian de Ilenal
cazar. one of the subordinate officers
under Plzzaro, took 150 men and started
for Quito, searching along the path of
P.umlnag il, but finding nothing

Btroy tho enemy and their horses. He
also set fire to Quito and killed the vlr
glna of the sun before Benalcazar ap
peared. He then climbed to the high
mountain behind the city, where he was
finally taken by Benalcazar. He was
tortured to death to make him tell where
the golden hoard was secreted, but he
showed no signs of weakness and the
knowledge of tho location of the treasure
died with him.
Spaniard Misses Fine Chance.
There la a story told In Cuzco of an In
dian girl who was In love -with a Span
lard. The Spaniard had taken advan
tage of her affection, but he would not
make her a proposal of marriage until
she told htm that she could make him the
richest man In Peru. He thereupon
promised ,to marry her If she would prove
that she could do what she proposod,
and at her request went with her one
night Into the mountains. There he was
blindfolded and led through ravine after
ravine until he finally came to a cave.
Here the bandages were taken off his
eyes and his sweetheart said:
"Behold! Thero Is the gold that I am
ready to give you when we are married."
The Spaniard looked down and saw a
great pile of golden bars and a collection
of golden vessels curiously carved. It Is

"He bad used home-made salves and

supposed that they were from the treas
ures of Atahualpa. The greedy man at-
I tempted to seize some of the largeu
pieces nearest htm, but tha girl pulled
htm back, laying: "Those things are
racrtd until we are wedded, and If you
attempt to touch any of them or take
away any, my friends who are here at
hand will certainly kill you."
The girl was so earnest the Spenlard
grew reared. He threw down the gold
anil submitted again to be blindfolded.
When he returned to Cuzeo he Informed
the authorities and an order was Issued
for tho arrest of the girl. The officers
went to her hut, but they found that she
ond all the rest of the family had left
for the mountains. And that was the last
of the treasure.
Itrctirri Arc Alt uinUli.
There are records left by tho Spaniard
describing several localities where they
think some of thfso Inca treasures may
bo found. One of theso Is In chapter V
of the Dettctero of Valverde. Valverde
died In Spain, after having returned from
the mountains of Llnngiinntl In Ecuador.
He was known to havo gone many tlms
Into the mountains and to have brought
out a great quantity of gold whose char
acter showed It to bo a part of tho treas
ures of Atnhunlpa. .
I'pon dying Valverdo left directions
giving tho route to where tho gold lay.
and the King of SpuJn sent this descrip
tion to Ainbato. a town now on tho rail
road between tho coast and Quito, and
ordered tho officers there to search for
the ti ensure I understand that tho
manuscript of tho king's letter Is still on
record. I abbreviate the description: It
tells tho searcher for tho troasuro vo
stand on the mountain of Ouapa, with
his back to Ambato.and look to the
cast. From thero ho will see three moun
tains In the form of a triangle suround
Ing an artificial lake, Into which tho
onclento, when they heard of the death
of tho Incan king, threw the gold they
had prepared for his ransom, Tho Span
ish dlroctlons then show one Just how to
get thero, and the dangers ho Is llabl
to Incur on tho way. By following them
he will finally como Into a bog filled with
grains of gold that can bo washed out In
a stream nearby, and still farther on Is
a certain cave where was the furnaco
through which the Indians melted tholr
ores. This Is on tho left-hand sldo of the
mountain. Tho directions are qulto Intri
cate, and so far no one has yet found the
troasuro,
A Case of Gratitude.
Returning again, to the treasures 'of
Atahualpa. buried by Itumlnagul, there
was an Indian boy named Catuna, the
son of ono of tho Inca chiefs, who was
with his father at tho tlmo of the hoard
