G'd morning Ladies & gentlemen: Who first established Victoria Peak as a collecting point / depository? It was probably the Jesuits. They originally had a depository / collection point for the metal mined from the Tayopa Complex, as well s the surrounding mines, for further transhipment to Rome, one day East of the Complex.. From there it was sent across northern Mexico to be loaded aboard Jesuit shipping some where along the Texas coast,or North Eastern Mexico. Each rendezvous point was supposedly secret.
However this loading period was too long and kept the ship in one anchorage, increasing the chance of discovery. soo
They then scouted around the halfway point. They found the Victorio Peak, which was perfect for their plans, it was extremely easy for their pack trains to locate, yet far enough away from the coastal areas so as to not be too easily found.
This point cut the loading time of a ship in half, an important feature.
The bars from Norhtern Sonora were Dore bars, i.e. crudely cast and separated. This Gold was of very high copper content which while beautiful, corrodes to a blackish color., hence Noss's original mistake.
This continued for some time until they were driven out of the new world in 1767, where upon the Apache having the Jesuit soldiers removed, then moved in and took over, adding more materiel to tha accumulated treasure..
Napoleon installed Maximilian as the emperor in order to access the Tayopa complex to help defray the debts of France. Since He, the king of Belgium, his daughter etc had close ties with the Jesuits in the Vatican who had maps, etc , they prob were going to work hand in hand to remove the lost Jesuit hoard. Unfortunately the revolution stopped this.
Then the sequence possibly was continued by Maci,illiano for his personal riches, He undoubtedly knew of the depository in Victorio Peak an decided that it was ideal for it, and after would be beyond Mexico's reach, yet.....
There does exist a possibility of part of Maximillian's loot being sent there since it was undoubtedly known by him,and also it was outside of Mexican confiscation-- however that is the Basis for another discussion ( fight).
And so it sat until Noss came along, and then the US gov't.
Coffee anyone ?
