What was this treasure, right? They talk about it like everyone already knew.

Yes but there is no newspaper account of Why John Hired these people to look for it for him.
Which is how I take the News Item to mean.

However I believe Dent's Run is not far away.




He may have been Searching for the Dent's Run Treasure where he felt it was Mt Zion Historical Society
