How Lost-mine Tales Originate
The tale of the lost gold mine in the Guadalupe Mountains of New Mexico begins with a converted Indian from Tabira that, in the 17th century, guided a Spanish captain to a wonderful deposit of gold ore. The incident was without an appropriate sequel, because all the Spaniards in New Mexico were killed or expelled during the Indian uprising of 1680, and the guide disappeared when the settlement of Tabira was destroyed. The tradition of the gold mine survived, however. To the Apaches was accorded a knowledge of the place, because they had retreated to the Guadalupe Mountains, to share with the wild sheep a last stand against the encroachment of the white invaders. Later some men living in the Pecos Valley persuaded Ben to show them the mine, but the first night out, the party broke broke up, suffering from ptomaine poisoning. He asserted that somebody had tried to kill him, and refused to go farther.
