Ed and the Spanish Maps

Cec said: Me an Ed decided to go see if we could find the mine shown on the maps. Showing me one of the maps. the map showed a skyline, he said Ed knew and showed him. It showed a cactus with varus markings on it, a kidney vein. Ed took him to a place in the Superstitions about an hours walk from Ed's camp. Ed pointed to the mountains an said do they look like the skyline drawing? Cec Said Exactly. Then they walked up a canyon and finally Ed showed Cec the cactus. The Cactus was about twenty or more feet tall, with an arrow deeply etched in it. Cec showed me a picture of the cactus and the mark looked very old, you could see it was about four inches deep looked black and the edges were withered. The map showed the mine to have two shafts, one high the other down the canyon near the bottom. thesaddle

In the mountains the indians kept an army, Cec told me. Not always the same me, A Indian we called Little Foot because Cec said he left little foot prints. Little foot smoked white filter cigarettes. Cec said: Little foot was the chief of the army and their job was to guard the sacred burial grounds, where the ancient great chiefs from hundreds of years ago are laid. the army had about thirty five warriors in it. Cec told me Little Foots real name, but i can't remember it. His name was spanish. Little foots Mother was a Mexican woman, his Father Indian.

Cecil told me about other people who lived in the mountains. A opera singer. This opera singer had a map and had hired a crew of Mexicans to help her look for the Lost Dutchman. The opera singer was from Chicago. for some reason her an Ed had a feud going. Mostly over water I think. Ed lived in the only place in that part of the mountains that had any water all year. At night someone would shoot into Ed's camp and Ed would return fire. this went on many nights Cec said. Someone wants to chase Ed away from the water and keep him from looking for the mine. Finally Ed killed a man who worked for the Opera singer. Ed got off on self defense. A strange thing, the man pulled a gun on Ed but the firing pin in the Mexicans gun had been removed.
