Spanish missionaries and soldiers.
working their way northward from the
outpost of San Antonio, heard of the
'notify mine." It was said to be high
up on a hill anil inaccessible, except
Dy Hanging over a cliff.
In later years, after the Indians and
Spanish were gone, efforts were made
to enter this cave, and one adventur
er is said to have been stung to death.
The most promising clew in the pos
session of Rees, who is making his
headquarters in Fort Worth during his
quest, Is from San Saba county. There
a honey enve exists, and Is high up on
the hillside. Residents near there,
however, will not venture an opinion
as to the amount of honey stored
away In the cavern recesses or as to
the age of the cave. But they say
positively no one has ever been able
to reach the honey.
At one time young men living near
the "mine" organized to get the honey.
The leader, -armed with h blast of ex
plosive, was lowered over the face of
the cliff and down to the cave en
trance. But the blast exploded pre
maturely and the man barelv escaped
with his life.
Rees estimates that the honev. If It
exists In the rumored amount and can
be distilled, would be worth approxi
