Jesse James Gold at Santa Clara Indian Reservation  Joe Suazo, a Santa Clara Indian, was arrested in 1962 in Albuquerque, New Mexico for refusing to divulge the location of $645,000 in gold bullion he had previously located on a mountain in the Santa Clara Reservation with Jesse L. James of Manitou, Colorado, who claimed his grandfather, the notorious Missouri bandit Jesse James, had given him the gold and told him how to find it.  The loot was not from robberies, but was 1,260 pounds of 90-pound gold ingots collected to finance a hoped-for second rebellion in the South.  When the gold was first found by the pair, the snow was too deep to carry it away, so they decided to wait, but Suazo went back and moved the gold to another location without telling James, and said he would not reveal its location until the "spirits" told him to so James filed a lawsuit against him.

"the loot was not from robberies, but was 1,260 pounds of 90-pound gold ingots"......wonder where the gold for the ingots came from (i.e. how much, if any, was "confiscated" vs how much was donated gold that was melted down vs how much was freshly mined)......not that it matters, especially to the immediate story.   I wonder what the outcome of the case was and whether Jesse L James of Manitou, Colorado was required to proof his rightful interest to the gold.

Thats an interesting story and if a case was filed should have some real documentation somewhere.

It's definitely scetchy, I actually ran onto it looking for the Caballos stuff.

I make no claims lol it is what it is. I'll mail you the PDF Seldom as this one is tough to read.
