f
TREASURE VAULTS FOUND.
Fairy Story of the Discovery of Bullion
Hid by the Incas.
Hero is nn interesting hot nir story
Mint comes down from l'uiiet Sound :
News of vnct wealth hidden in vaults
by thu Incan, in Smith America, has
reached llort Towncoiul, according to .T.
C. 'Greer, who recently arrived from that
city, and as is usual in such eases, every
one who has heard of it is fulling over
himself in an endeavor to get in on tlm
ground floor of the party who intend to
search for it.
Tho news arrived by letter from David
Luescum to a member of a prominent
shipping firm of Port Towusend. Lues
cum claims in his letter that an Italian
named Juan Soniboritio had in his pos
session a chart showing the exact loca
tion of tho hidden treasure, tho esti
mated valuo of which is many millions
of dollars, and that he had bought it of
him for 60,000 soles. According to the
chart, tho spot where the treasure is
buried is marked by a pyramid which is
covered with cement, and "from hiero
glyphics on tho pyramid it is presumed
tho wealth is in seven underground
vaults which uero used ages ago as tho
treasure houses of the Iuca Indiaus.dur
ing tho troublesome times in South
America.
Tho writer says, further that there is
a tradition connected with tho hidden
treasure which is to the effect that in
early history of South America Spaniards
took tho King of the Incas prisoner and
demanded of tho tribe an enormous ran
som. Tho amount was raised and handed
to thu Spaniards, but instead of turning
over tho prisoner tho natives bringing
tho treasure were put to death, along
with tho King. The Incus heard of tho
treachery and fearing that the amount
tho Spaniards had received through
treachery would prove an incentive for
them to raid tho country, gathered to
gether all their wealth and stored it in
underground treasure houses. They
then scattered and lecamo a roving
band, whose only aim was to kill Span
iards. Tho hiding place of tho treasure
was handed down from generation to
generation, but owing to superstition
tho natives did not try to llnd it. Tho
secret dually fell into tho hands of Soiu
borino, who, as has been Mated, sold it
to Luen'um.
The Peruvian government has been
awaro of tho existence of tho treasure,
but did not know its location, and would
allow no one to search for it. Luescum
states in his letter that there are many
valuable ijunrtx ledges in tho vicinity of
tho hidden treasure, but tho government
will not allow them to bo worked.
Mr. Cireer says those who have heard
of tho treasure are trying to get the re
cipient of tho letter to form a stock com
pany for tho purpose of searching for it.
"Tho projiosition looks a triflo 'Unity,' "
said Mr. Greer, "but one never knows."
