Dagon Shwe Yam - Whitebeard's Treasure

Big white beard

I have translated the book " The Treasures of the World " into Burmese and published it in Shumawa Magazine as "The Black Pearl Tomb" and "The Dagger of the Jewels" in Dendtyukhaw Magazine. The following is my third novel, "The Whitebeard Treasure". This treasure is located in Arizona, a southwestern state on the border of the United States and Mexico . The capital is Poonch, which is known to the ethnic people as the " Sunset City".

The author of this book, ' Kim Krispin ' , a famous person who has been searching for many years for the locations of these lost treasures, gold and silver, as well as their true origins, wrote it to help future adventurers, even if he himself could not find or benefit from them.

The area where this great treasure was built was located in a forest called ' Ghost Mountain ', a sacred place for the American Indians, among the most beautiful mountains outside the city of Phoenix.

It is said that more than 20 people have been killed or injured by this large deposit.

The formation of this deposit is as follows.

More than 100 years ago, most of what is now the southwestern United States was owned by Mexico. Arizona was declared a separate territory by Congress in 1863 and became a state in 1921. The aforementioned black-owned ghost town is located in that territory, and the background of that territory is described as necessary for us to know.

This 100-year history began in 1846. In that year, three brothers from Mexico , Pedro , Raymond , and Manuel , set out to search for precious metals and gold in the areas north and west of the old city of Mexico.

These areas were uncharted territories, with forests, rivers, and lakes that had not yet been mapped. The three brothers crossed vast forests and terrifying deserts, and arrived at the mountain now known as the Ghost Mountain.

The mountain was full of dark rocks and deep ravines, and was a sight to behold. As they approached, they saw signs of gold and other precious metals, so the three brothers searched the bottom of the mountain and found eight large veins of gold that were very fine. So they each cut three-inch long pieces from each vein, taking one each, and then immediately retreated to the town of Chihuhuhu, from which they had come, to retrieve their workers and equipment.

A few months later, about 100 men, fully armed, arrived at the foot of one of the mountains where the band of warriors had set up strong camps and were eagerly mining the gold from the gold mines. The leader was Pedro, the eldest of the three brothers.

Thus, Pedro dug a huge gold mine with workers and secretly transported the gold to the city of Chihuhu for two years in numerous carts. When he arrived in the city, he melted it down and extracted the gold. This secret work was to continue for many years without anyone knowing, but a reason emerged.

The Apache Indians of northern Mexico, having learned that the whites were harassing the mountains where their "Thunder God" lived, finally came to the gold mines in 1848 and attacked them all at once.

The gold miners were attacked in Ali, and were outnumbered, so they had to retreat to the plains, and were almost all killed near the plains at the foot of the mountain.

The Apaches, who were a race of red men, were so enraged that they not only killed but also cut the bodies into pieces and sprinkled the gold dust and sandstone that the white men coveted on the bodies.

After the Apaches cut off the heads of their enemies and took the skulls, the village elders gathered in a council to find ways to prevent any more white men from coming to the mountain where their thunder god lived.

Why did the white men go to such great trouble to come into the jungle and mountains to collect the bright, yellow powder? Then they realized that the bright powder was gold, and that gold was precious.

They don't know yet. This bright yellow powder is worthless to them. They don't even understand the word gold. So they will not be able to find the strange stones with the bright yellow powder on them.

They agreed to cover it up so that no one would see it.

So they had the women of the village work day and night to cover the rocks that were likely to yield gold with ordinary stones, sand, rocks, and garbage, and then cover the surface with soil and plant trees that naturally grow in the forest. They worked for many days and nights until the eight golden lotuses disappeared without a trace. Then, thinking that their thunder god would be able to live in peace and quiet, they returned to the northern region.

Friends and families of the miners in the town of Rihuhu, who were also digging, also suspected that something must have happened in the gold mine when the gold bars suddenly stopped flowing. They gathered and consulted. So, led by Ramon, one of the three brothers who worked in the town to extract gold, five men ventured out to find out what was happening in the gold mine. After a rough journey, they reached the plains near the Ghost Mountains, and the sight they saw was truly terrifying. The people

They saw the bodies scattered on the ground, their heads and bodies scattered, their hands and feet scattered, their flesh smeared with gold dust and sand. The five men were helpless and had to run back the way they had come. When they returned to the city, the gold miners were working in the gold mines outside the city, and Ramon was also in the middle of the gold mine.

He had given up his job and was working as a cattle herder. He never dared to dream of going back to that place to search.

After a few years, Ramon grew tired of living on the farm like a man stuck in a bind. So he sold the farm along with the cattle and moved to a small mining village not far from Hu.

They moved in. They spent their time drinking heavily and hanging out at bars to forget the events that had happened to their brotherhood.

One night, he met two gold prospectors in a bar. One was a German named "Jack" and the other was a Dutchman named "Ludie". Ramon became friends with the two men over drinks and when they got drunk, they told him about the discovery of eight large gold nuggets in the mysterious Ghost Mountains and why the Indians from the north did not go themselves. Ramon explained that firstly, the gold mine was now part of the United States, and the Americans did not want the Mexicans there. Second, he did not want to go back to the place where his brothers and friends were brutally murdered, and that he still did not want to see them. However, if they were willing to risk their lives to find the Ghost Mountains and the place where the gold was found, he would draw a rough map.

After obtaining the map, Jack and Ludi, perhaps because they did not trust Ramon's map or because they did not dare to venture into such a dangerous place, took 11 years to arrive after meeting in the tavern. In 1870, the two of them set off north of Chihuahua. According to Ramon's map, they reached the Ghost Mountains and searched for one of the eight great gold mines, and immediately set to work. They felled large trees for firewood and broke up the old closed pits. The sound of their hammers and axes echoed in the deep valleys and valleys.

At that time, their story entered the story of two notorious gold miners, named 'Waw Sa and Wai Za, who were searching for minerals nearby and heard the sound of hammers and axes, so they quietly approached the sound. When they unexpectedly found the two men secretly digging an old gold mine, Whitebeard and his companion did not hesitate to take their guns off their backs and shoot the two gold miners (Jack and Ludi) one by one. However, it was already quite dark and they could only see a little of the gold mine, so they decided to return to the camp the next morning.

The next morning, when they returned to the old mine, the two bodies were nowhere to be found. Jack and Ludi, though badly injured, crawled as far away as they could. Ludi died in the mountains, and his body was later found. Jack, on the other hand, was not so badly injured, and after he had made it down the mountain, a prospector found him and took him to his hut. He died soon after, and before he died, he was able to tell how the gold miners had shot the two of them in the back. But no one ever caught the bad guys.

When Whitebeard, aka Whitebeard, was inspecting a gold mine during the day and realized that it was a large vein of gold that would yield a lot of gold, he turned his gun on his companion, who was not far away, and shot him with one shot. Although the wound was mortal, Whitebeard escaped to the lower valley road.

After landing, they were met by Indians who took them to the ranch of Kanel Walker, near Florence. Near the end of his life, Weiser not only told the American soldier, Captain Kanel Walker, about the gold mine and how he had shot two men who were digging for it, but also drew a white beard. However, Kanel Walker, himself a notorious gold thief, did not believe his words.

We no longer know where the original map, given to Ludi and Jack by Ramon, the original discoverer of the gold mine, is.

Here, the author "Kinkrispin" wrote the following:

“Even if I don’t see the original map, I can point out the area where the white goat nest is. I will write about this clear indication in the next chapter.”

Whitebeard, known as ' Waltzer ' , secretly mined the gold he had obtained after killing two men for six years. Every year, he would take a bag of gold dust to the city of Voynic and sell it to buy food and equipment. When some people learned of this annual event, some people who were secretly searching for him secretly followed Whitebeard. However, no one could reach the end of the road. The slender, thin beard usually returned only at night, and then disappeared into the valleys of the "Ghost Mountain", which was no less than 100. After this, no one saw him again, until he was seen again in the city a year later.

Here, the great writer Kim Krispin writes the following.

The question to consider here is whether Whitebeard and Walzer were actually mining the original gold mines that the original brothers had found, or whether he had found a new location himself. Walzer did not take the gold in large quantities from the city, but only enough to buy it, which some believe is because he secretly hid the original gold mines and only took a few tons of his own.

After studying the above information, my guess is that Jack and Ludi did not actually find the 8 gold veins on the original map that Ramon gave me. If they found one, why couldn't they find the other 7? There is no doubt that there are many places where gold is found in the Ghost Mountains. Based on this, it is logical to assume that Jack and Ludi did not find the original gold veins, but rather found a new one.

However, with a beautiful white beard, Snow White, who had been secretly mining the gold mine until 1877, once left the mountains to rest. Like the black Indians, he first blocked the mouth of the mine with large logs and then covered it with iron, earth and garbage. Then he came to Phoenix and bought a small house and a plot of land, raised chickens and planted betel trees and lived in peace. White Beard, whether sober or drunk, would not make a sound when he dug the gold mine, but would only swallow it in his stomach.

As is the nature of people who cannot escape love, even though they are old, one day they fall in love with a young woman named Julia and eventually marry her. And so Julia
