SILENT CITY OF ROCKS, Idaho
It is believed that treasure is buried here. When a stage from Kelton to Boise was held up in this city in 1878, $90,000 in gold is said to have been taken. One of the bandits was slain, and the other subsequently died in prison; but before his death he revealed that he had buried the treasure among five junipers. Five cedars growing in the shape of a heart were found in the city long ago, and frantic excavations were undertaken, but the treasure has never been found.
