MEXICO'S LOST WEALTH. THE CUSTOM OF BURYING GOLD AND SILVER COIN. Traditions and Itineraries—A Poor Family Made Independent-The San chez Hacienda Mystery—Conditions Which Prompt the Hiding- of Treasure A letter from the City of Mexico to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: “The Fed eral Treasury of Mexico derives its revenue the coming year from thirty-four distinct sources, according to the fiscal statement re cently published. One o£ these sources is given as follows: Revenues arising from money, real estate values and rights that under any‘title whatever may fall to the, nation from any source. Naturally enough, no amount of revenue anticipated under this class of items is given The financiers evidently inserted the lan guage Quoted to cover certain possibilities ■which they had in mind. Mexicans under stand what these possibilities are, but it will be a matter of some surprise to Americans ■when they are informed that this govern ment expects to derive a considerable in come from its interest in the long-forgotten jars and pots of coin which may ie dug out of the ground during the next twelve months. MEXICO’S LOST WEALTH. The republic requires a great deal of money for its business. The banks are few and far apart, and the masses have yet to make the acquaintance of drafts and checks Mexico has supplied the rest of the world ■with untold millions of precious mineral. In the churches of the country the orna ments and images and vessels of gold and silver stand lor millions. But when the wear and tear and all this scattering of the wealth produced from the mines of Mexico have bn taken into consideration there is still a great deal of the product unaccounted for by any other explanation than that it has been buried and lost. That is a much more reasonable explanation than it may appear at first thought. The amount in circulation is known, and also that which has been coined, approximately. The former sum is but a fraction of the latter. Ever since the con quest, nearly 400 years-ago, there has been going on in Mexico the interesting process of gettting out gold and silver ore, turning the bullion into coin, burying the money for safekeeping, and losing it. And before the Spaniards came this same custom of hiding precious metals was practiced by Aztecs, Toltecs, Chicimecs, and no one knows how many other “ecs.” Lieut.' Flipper, formerly of the United States army, whose land explorations in Mexico for several years past have enabled him to collect much valuable information about the people and the country, recently told some interesting things about this cus tom of burying coin. THE MOST COMMON OF TRADITIONS. “I have found very few plae?s in Mexico,” said the Lieutenant, “which could not fur nish several traditions of hidden treasure. This is a great country lor traditions. Much of the history of Mexico is tradition. The churches abound in traditions. Every one of the old mines has some tradition con nected with it. But I believe that of all the varieties of tradition that relating to hidden treasure is the most common'. “In many Mexican towns,” continued the Lieutenant, “I have found the traditions supplemented by documents. These papers are called itinerarias. They purport to de scribe and locate the places where fortunes have been buried. Many a long and weary search has been made on the strength of these itinerarios, and with varying suc cess.” you recall any particular search;” was asked. “Yes,” said Lieut. Flipper, “a Mr. Sala zar in C'usihuiriachi, Chihuahua, is the happy possessor of numerous documents of this kind. Some of them wore sent to hira from Spain bv persons who had inherited them from Mexican relatives. The Mexi cans had died in Spain, and the papers were among their effects. Mr. Salazar had made something of a specialty of following up these clews. I remember one instance of which he told me. He said he searched in the place indicated by the itinerario and was rewarded by finding eleven old Spanish coins, thus establishing the fact that there was some foundation for the itinerario. The bag or box in which the treasure was originally buried had rotted away entirely, so great a time had elapsed, and it is quite possible many of the coins had ‘crawled’ away.” The Lieutenant smiled with liis listener at the theory he had advanced; but he went on to say: “This ‘crawling’of buried coins isn’t so extraordinary as you \navthink. It happened in the South during the late war, as many Southern people who buried their treasures upon the approach of the Federal army can testify. My father buried quite a sum of gold and silver in a stocking in Atlanta during 18tS5, and when he dug for his money, several months later, the stock ing had entirely disappeared, and the coins were scattered over a space of considerable extent, comparatively speaking. They had ‘crawled’ even in a few months. In a cen tury or two they might have gone much greater distances.” THE QUIROOAS’ DISCOVERT. Replying to the inquiry if he hud ever known of any considerable hidden treasure being found, Lieut. Flipper told this good story: “A few- years ago a poor family liv ing in the town of Surie, in Sonora, stum bled upon a buried fortune beneath their own jaeiil or hovel, and the members are now enjoying independence in consequence. Tile floors of most of those jacals are made of the same mud from which the adobes forming the walls are molded. The Quirogas —the family of whom lam telling you— were having the floor of their house re paired, and had employed a peon. He was engaged in doing some digging to fix the foundation for the floor, when Seuora ) Quiroga camo into tho room to call him to dinner. Just as she ap proached him she heard his pick strike something hard and her suspicions were aroused. She sent the peon off and called in one of her ons, who in a few moments uncovered a jar in which the coin jingled. When the Qnirogas got through counting the treasure they found that they had SIB,OOO. The newß was too good to keep. Soon the whole villugo knew and envied. Among the first to conn with congratula tions was the priest, and he suggested that a good percentage ought to goto the church. To this tho Quirogus turned a deaf ear. Then the priest threatened them with im prisonment in this world and damnation in the next. Tho Quirogns fled tho country, taking with them all of the mouy. They now live in Nogales Aid., and are good American citizens. The sous are doing well ns merchants, the discovered treasure having supplied the capital to RfciTt them.” A PERSONA I. EXPERIENCE. This narrative was so well received that the Lieutenant was uneouruged to proceed with another in which lie figured ns a "it ness of tho events described. Said he: ‘‘On the Bavispe river, in the .Moctezuma district of Sonora, a short distance below the town of BuvUpo, recently destroyed by an earth quake, there is a very line luicicnda known as La Golem do Buvispe. Itis the property of a fine old Mexican gentleman, Don Caye tauo Sanchez, who has owned it for half a century. This hacienda was abandoned in 1870 on account of the raids of the Apaches. In September, iSSti, Sonor Sanchez sent his son, Don Fernando, with a number of (icons, to repair tho old houses, to build new ones, and to put tho place in flon dltion for reoccupation. The old buildings " ere largo and contained mouy rooms. The roof timbers had rotted in many places and laid fallen in, but the walls were good, and some of tho rooms wore easily made habita ble. Young Sanchez and his force cleared out the rubbish and began repairs. But the usual Mexican feast come round before they finished. Master and neons stopped work Rnd went to the town of Bavispo to have a pood tlmo. I mot them there ami took a bund hi tho festivities. After the feast. I chained a lino from Bavispe up tho river, ■*rd had for traveling couipaniMW young Sanchez and his party, who were going; back to complete the work at the hacienda. It was night when we reached their place, and there, occupying ne of the roofless rooms. Don Fernando, with whom I had become quite friendly, under tooK to show me the hacienda, avid I went aooiit with him, expressing admiration for the arrangements and extent of the build , 2 s ; a we entered one room, Don Fer nando threw up his hands and exclaimed in astonishment: l Que est cstoV (What is tins.) i looked and saw a heap of wheat straw, some loose earth and a large hole in the floor close up against the east wall. We examined the hole and found it was about tour feet deep, three feet in diameter at the top and two feet across the bottom. The hole was lined with masonry and well ce mented. Lying nt the bottom was a piece of paper, and we reached for this in the hone that it would furnish some solution of the mystery. On the scrap was written badly m Spanish the following: *We have just taken out of this holeatreasnreof ? 10,000.’ ” STILL. A MYSTERY. The Lieutenant stopped to permit an ap propriate expression of astonishment, and then concluded the story: “The most curious part of this afl’air is that Don Cayetano had grown up at this hacienda, and had raised a numerous family there, and no one of them had ever heard of this hidden treasure. The money must have been put there by a iormer owner who was perhaps killed by the Indians. Very likely he left some utnerario describing the location of the treasure, and the party into whose hands it fell made a good use of his knowledge, dig ging up the coin at the first opportunity upon learning that the hacienda was about to be occupied. The absence of Don Fer nando at the feast had furnished the oppor tunity. So far as I know the Sanchez fam ily never obtained any clew to tbo person or persons who dug up the money.” illustrating still another phase of the buried treasure topic, Lieut. Flipper told this: “A few years ago a wealthy but eccentric gentleman died in Hermosillo, Sonora. He was known to have a good deal of ready money and it was also a mat ter of notoriety that he had been in the habit of burying his surplus cash for safe keeping. His end came suddenly in an epileptic fit, and to this day nobody has been able to find a dollar of the hidden wealth. He left his family in indigent circumstances because of his secretiveness. They used what little money they could scrape to gether in hunting for the old gentleman's hoard, and they have since worked and spent in vain effort to discover what is legitimately their own.” WHAT FOSTERS THE CUSTOM. \ Continuing, the Lieutenant explained how the peculiar and uncertain conditions pre vailing in Mexico had developed this custom of burying money, and showed why there was reason for putting some degree of faith in the tradition. He said: “In the town of Alamos, of the district of the same name in Sonora, there is said to be considerable buried treasure, a large amount having been put underground as late as 1875 and 1870, during the time of the Macheteros and the Sema-Pesqueira revolution. The people who buried their money were killed during thb .•evolution, or died without disclosing the hiding place of their wealth. This custom of burying valuables in Mexico was at one time general, mid is still prac ticed by many people. The absence of banks or other place for safe-keeping, and the numerous revolutions, are the chief causes. Usually the finder of buried treas ures retains the most of it. a percentage going to the government. The belief that great sums of money have been hidden and lost to the original owners is universal in this country. The government shares in this faith, and Congress has placed upon the statute books a law relating to the discover ies of these long-lost treasures. This law requires that the finder shall pay into the Federal treasury a percentage of the amount unearthed, and he thus secures a recognized title to the remainder. Receipts under this law are anticipated annually, and the dis covery of buried money is now classed as a regular source of revenue by the Mexican government.” A VERY BUSY KINO. How Humbert of Italy Employe Him self Nineteen Hours a Day. Rome letter to the Paris Register. The King of Italy is known for his tem perance in all things, except in that of smoking. It has often lieen noticed what an exceedingly small eater the King has shown himself on all occasions, and, as to drink, his guests may have it in plenty, but his favorite “tipple” is water. His one great weakness was (for it is a thing of the past) a good cigar. He was a formidable smoker, but ho abused his tastes in that line to a:r extent that recently he lias taken anew departure, and has “sworn off” from the fragrant weed. His nerves had begun to suffer, he had asthmat ic turns, could sleep but little, and then had to be propped up by plenty of pillows. Some weeks ago his physician told him what was tho matter, and King Humbert said: “From this day forth I will not smoke another cigar, or anything in the shape of tobacco.” His majesty has kept his word, and tho result has been a most noticeable improvement in his health. King Humbert Is a man of iron will, and no one doubts that he will keep his self-made pledge. The Italians are getting to be excessiv e smokers, and the f roster part of the tobacco used is from the 'lifted States, which they do not adulterate with weaker materials; hence it is that the Italian cigars aro stronger than any that can bo found in Europe. It seems to me that this excessive use of the weed cannot but help, in time, to produce diseases of a nervous kind. If, however, the Italians should all follow the example of their sover eign, there would be a great falling off in revenue, for, with two exceptions, tobacco renders the State tho largest income from anv one source. Speaking of King Humbert giving up tobacco, and the consequent improvement of his nervous condition, makes me recall what work that monarch has to go through in the course of a year, and reconciles me to tho occasional notice which I see in the newspapers, that "to day his majesty went wild-boar shooting in the woods of Porci ano,” or "last Saturday his majesty went to Ins shooting-box on Lake Licola, where the clucks are plentiful, and he gave half tile dav to the feathered game, and in the afternoon went to tho woods of Diana and brought down several wild boars, wild sows and wild pigs.” I presume, with the exception of those few days of recreation, King Humbert is, from Novem ber tft June, tho hardest-worked man in Europe, and from June to November his life at Monza (his favorite summer palace, nine miles north of Milan) is anything but a holiday. For tho last three weeks the King's duties have led him to Venice for the opening of the great and interesting art and industrial exliibitiou there; to Florence, for all the ceremonies, artistic and historic, connected with the unveiling of tho com rileicd facade of the Cathedral: and to Milan, whore there is a large exhibition of milling, baking and kindred machinery. Between all those openings of cxhib.tions and ceremonies in these different cities, ho has hail to hie him buck, by express trains, to Rome, to preside over Cubinot councils, to examine projects, to sign bills anil to attend to tiie ordinary routine of Parlia mentary and diplomatic duties—to say nothing of officers returned from Africa and private citizens who had some claim upon him or were sent for by the King. But to cive an idea of what a day’s work tho King find at Milan on Juno 10, I will, from notes taken by one of his gentlemen-in-waiting, write down what he actually did at the dif ferent hours of the date in question: At ha. in., the King was already up and at work hi his cabinet. Seven o’clock, a slight refection. From 7:30 to 0 o’clock tho King read his correspondence. At 0:30 o’clock he left the palace and went to tho exhibition at the linzza, di Ca-tello As soon ns ho arrived tho King liatl to stand and listen to several very ong speeches, and afterward ho took a turn through the galleries and engaged m apeak ng asking questions and informing him scl’ paanll/ about the machinery oX THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE 2G, 1887-TWELVE PAGES. milling, baking, etc., and all this amidst the w.iirr and rumbling of wheels, the wheezing and putting of steam, aud anuast nil the iu } femni concatenation of villainous smells that came from gas and from furnaces for engendering steam ami electricity. At 12:45 p. m. lie was back at the palace, 1 an i took his colazione {dejeuner a lafour chette); then received thoso whose official positions or other claims made it incumbent upon his majesty to receive them. At 1:45 p. rn. the King went to the Palezzo di Brora, where for two and one-naif hours he examined the plans for the new facade of the Milanese cathedral, and received the explanations for the same from the eminent writer, Cesare Cantu, and from the Mayor of Milan. At 3 p. m. he was back again to the pal ace, which he left at 8:80 o clock for the drive and the races at Castellazzo. At 7:15 he was at his Milanese home again, where ho gave a state dinner to the leading military and civil officials. At such dinners, like his father, Victor Emmanuel, he is present to entertain his guests and not to eat. The dinner and reception being over at 0:80 the King went to tho opera at 10, whore he remained exactly one hour. Then he returned home end applied himself until 1 a. m. to the reading of his afternoon correspondence and to answering his letters, in which occupation he was aided by one of his private secretaries. Then at l” o’clock in the morning of the 20th the King retired to rest, having been almost constantly em ployed nineteen hours. KING BANKS OF RARETONGA. An Albany Young- Man Who Has Come to Great Things Out There. From the New York World. That wickedness sometimes prospers is evidenced by the rather romantic career within the last few months of Charles \V. Banks, formerly of Albany, this State, later of San Francisco, Cal., and now elevated by the power of love to the throne of King of Cook’s Island, in the South Pacific ocean. A history of Mr. Bank’s life in Albany would add so little interest to his later life that it is unneces sary to refer to it now, except to state that in that rolling town he married a very in teresting yr#)g lady, for whom, according to his latt'slM'tter to friends in this city, lie still entertis the most touching affection. It is also lordly necessary to say that the lady in question, Mrs. Fanny A. Banks, who is now in this city, plaoes so little faith in these assurances of unbounded love that she has begun a divorce suit and charges his kingship with desertion and infidelity. Soon after the marriage of the” couple they journeyed to San Francisco, where Mr. Banks, being intelligent and bright, as well as a handsome young man, obtained employment ill the ex'press office of Wells, Fargo & Cos. There he prospered; pros pered too well for his personal good, for having obtained a position of trust, and gained the entire confidence of his em ployers, he suddenly disappeared six months ago, carrying with him over $50,000 belong ing to the company. His many friends at the Golden Gate mourned his departure, for he was a good fellow, reckless with his money, an interesting talker and a good story teller, while his little suppers at home and at his club were the talk of so ciety for days after each event. Mrs. Banks, too, mourned his loss, hut her rea sons were widely different, and she came to this city after gathering enough evidence in San Francisco to prove to her that her hus band had not been all that she hail expected. Consulting the law firm of Messrs. Johnes, Benner & Wilcox here, the papers for a di vorce were properly drawn up. but pending information as to the whereabouts of her re creant husband, she withheld proceedings. Meanwhile Wells, Fargo & Cos. had sent detectives after the defaulter, who tracked him to Tahiti, Sandwich Islands, but the wily young man fled in a schooner a few hours before the sleuth-hounds of the law reached there. From this point the gay de faulter's movements much resemble those of Billy Kid, the illustrious hero whom Rosina Vokes sings about in her clever song, “His ’Art was True to Poll.” Like Billy Kid, Mr. Banks: Landed on a strange shore and looked out for an inn When a noble savage lady, of a color rather shady Came along and accosted bira. “‘Oh 1 stay with me and the King you'll be. And in a palace 1011, Or I’ll eat you like a fillet;” so he gave his hand, did billy, But his 'Art was true to Poll. Mr. Banks was certainly in luck. He had sailed away from Tahiti for a point any where out of the grasp of the law, and favoring gales had directed his craft to the shores of Raretonga, Cook’s Island, in the South Pacific, where thd*bcautiful but dusky Queen Ulakea (Ulakea in English, hut something else in her own picturesque language) reigned quietly and kindly over her loving tribe. She is a widow-, but ceased abruptly to grieve for her departed lord when the handsome face and manly bearing and figure of Mr. Banks loomed up before her in her quiet, luxurious home. He was a wanderer, weary aud forlorn, and she a widow, sad and lonely, but with lots of this world’s goods and a large heart, which she unhesitatingly threw at his fret. Her kindness w-on him, coupled with his own Yankee ingenuity, which told him that he had struck it rich, to use an American ism, and he availed himself of the fortunate opportunity equally as unhesitatingly as it hail been opened to him. There, at Raretonga, safe from tho law’s strong grasp, where the climate is glorious and warm all the year round, Banks is now living, duly domosticated and acknowledged as King, and receiving tho homage of the people, who adore him, because their beloved Queen had set them the example. The de tectives who found him there say he ex presses no desire to return to his native country, but seems satisfied to continue his life of idleness and power. Mrs. Banks has lieard of her husband’s fortune, and has decided to begin divorce proceedings at once. Her counsel, Edward R. Jones, appeared before Judge Lawrence, in the Supreme Court chambers yesterday and obtained an order for the publication of a summons in the suit, a copy of which will be mailed to King Banks l. at his palace at Rarotonga. Although Mrs. Banks had sufficient evidence to secure a divorce without reference to her husband’s present position, the detectives who have traced Mr. Banks and discovered his new mode of life will make affidavits which will be used in the suit in order to show the man’s utter uuworthiness. Wells. Fargo & Cos., have not given up hope of bringing Banks to justice or of obtaining fromthe money no embezzled. Bank’s time of the discovery of his theft sensa tion. The publication of movements will probably pi’^^Bgreater surprise to tho many so people of both Han Francisco who know him and his wife. * “Buchu-Palba.” Quick, complete cure, nil annoying kid ney, bladder and urinary diseases. sl.
