Looking for treasure

[Roadquest]

Looking for different treasures to research in New Mexico. I'm not asking for information on
a treasure you are researching or searching for. But, if you have an idea of one, and don't
plan to look for it. and want to share the info. I'd like to read it.

Thanks Clayton....Roadquest

I'm headed up to the Carson on a mule deer hunt next week. Was always interested in the story about the army payroll robbery that ended up between Aztec and Blanco, buried "under the shadow" of some "arch shaped rock" ? 1874,Horton and Wharton robbed the SLNT and scurried off for Colorado. The army caught up with them somewhere north of Blanco, they both went to jail, and as all good stories go, one died and the other could never find the loot. Has it been found?? Is there any more info out there? I haven't researched it at all, just going on a hunt and wanted something to look for while in the area. Any input would be appreciated.

Years ago I was in the Cabolla Mts. in N.M. and was close to where Willy Doughit brought out the gold. He was living in San Diego Calif. until a few years ago when he passed away. I found his old camp site nestled in the rocks high above the canyon floor. Not far from this campsite was a very old tree that was sawed off protruding from the ledge. I summized that this was the tree he used to haul the bars up to the top of the ledge as there were worn ridges in the stump from what appeared to be a rope. I will go back some day and see what is what (if the Govt hasnt already claimed it for the military). Ironically, I did find a flat stone covering a man-made cave that was about 10ftx10ft and appeared to be worked on and off clandestinly. It was at the base of one of the leges and was cleaverly hid.

I also have a map drawn by an Apache indian that was given to me in 1979. This map tells of an opening on WSMR that leads to an underground cavern system. The opening is obscurred by a large flat rock. He stated that if you did not know it was there, a person would walk right by it and never no it. Unfortunatly, it may never be re-found as the entire area is off-limits.

Dare I ask what area of the Caballo range is off limits? I spend a bit of time up there offroading when the hankering hits me. Reading through this stuff gives me ideas about things I've seen. Define off limits? we talking military shooting at me? or other treasure hunters shooting at me. the latter seems far more likely.

Guys! The correct spelling for the Mountains you are referring to is the Sierra De Los Caballos. Pronounced Ka-vah-yo. Spanish for horse. There is a tale told to a WPA worker in 1931, during the depression, by an old Spainish woman from Hot Springs, about a location of gold buried in large potholes on the EAST side of the Caballos. You can find out about this on-line.

ALSO in 1971 Perry C. Van Arsdale published a limited edition of PIONEER NEW MEXICO Map, listing everything that he had heard about early New Mexico tales, and history. Have to look hard to find a copy of this map.

The Albuquerque Citizen newspaper Jan. 9 1897 published an article about a mysterious Russian looking for a huge Spanish gold mine in the Black Range near Chloride. Interesting, the Russian was hanged in Shakespear a few years later.
