Spanish Treasure markers---- Went to my site and on the way home I always look at the rock formations along the road.
As you pass lordsburg, NM There is an old minig town (from the looks of it) samll rundown shacks very old. I believe the town was sienz not sure. On the right side of the road there'll be string of Rocks running south/north. there is a pointer with a small window in it about 1/2 way from higway to end of rocks going north. Several markers are here. Don't know how to get to this little town. A couple of miles farther west as your coming over a hill is a rest area on the right, slow down this was at 4:30 P.M. There are 3-4 big rocks right next to hiway on the west side of rest area, that made a very nice cross. you can pull into the rest area and get a real close look at all the markers here. So, if your out this way stop and take a look.

From the town, go North across the tracks and head up about 1/4 of the way towards the mountain.? Few old mine dumps and house foundations on the sides of the canyons coming down.? Used to be really good for bottle hunting.? On the other side of the hill aways, is the place on the butterfield route they called doubtful canyon (private ranch land now).

Why did I not get this 1st?
Steins (pronounced Steens) is full of history.
I have a load claim just inside New Mexico and explore this entire area of hidden treasure.
Mineral Mountain Mine is across the arroyo. Owned by National Gold & Silver Mining Co., South Dakota. Silver, Lead.
Few report gold.
But keep a keen eye for mules.

Does anyone know where the grave sites and memorial plaque is from the stage station? I know what the stories say, but I haven't found it yet. I've been all over the north side of the mtn., I think, but I didn't find them.
