True Treasure Tales

Estrella Mountain Regional Park
14805 W Vineyard Ave
Goodyear, Arizona 85338 Get Directions
Arizona has many true lost treasures. Today we will have the author of "Jesuit Treasure", Jason Shannan Wells. The Spanish colonies provided vast amounts of wealth to the King of Spain. At one point, the King became suspicious that the Jesuit priests were not giving him "La Quinta"--his required one fifth of the gold they found. Therefore, he banned them from the New World and replaced them with Franciscans whom he hoped would be more honest. The Jesuits closed and hid the mines with the thought that they would be back soon. That did not happen and that's how many rich mines became lost in the mists of time. Jason will tell us how such a mine from all those years ago could be rediscovered. Follow signs to the air-conditioned Nature Center. Next month: A Fabulous Lost Mine "Somewhere" in Arizona!
