"C. Andrews Corp. - Audio tape list", 1996
File — Box: 2, binder: 17
Scope and Contents
From the Series:
Series consists of 18 binders containing mostly photocopies of documents, maps, illustrations, images of symbols, and timelines related to Victorio Peak and to the search for lost treasures in general in North America. Also included in the binders are many original color photographic prints of desert areas, presumably of possible treasure sites and many of the Victorio Peak area. The following description is contained in one of the binders:
"It is believed that in November 1937 Milton E. 'Doc' Noss and Ova Beckwith Noss may have found the most significant repository of history located on the North American continent. This discovery, made quite unexpectedly by Doc while he was hunting, plunged the Noss family into a 'battle' with multiple agencies of the United States and New Mexico governments which still continues today.
"Through many years of diligent and unwavering research by the Noss family, other organizations, i.e. the C. Andrews Corporation, and some independent researchers, the enclosed historical documents have been amassed and compiled. We believe this material may establish Victorio Peak (La Soledad) as one of the Seven Cities of Gold and feel that it may bring to light the theft of items from the mountain by the United States Army with the assistance of the President of the United States and other government agencies. In particular, some of the items believed to have been removed from Victorio Peak include historical artifacts, codices, religious objects, as well as an untold amount of precious gems, silver, a considerable amount of gold bars, and possibly some of the lost inventory belonging to Maxmillion [sic], the Emporer of Mexico.
"These documents combined with affidavits of eyewitnesses substantiate the claims made with regard to the government involvement. It is the hope that by presenting this evidence, the true history of the region will finally be written into the history books and that the state of New Mexico will take control of the mountain regions to protect and preserve these archaeological sites."
