Legends of Lost Mines The Cascades and Idaho’s Hayden Lake #lostmines #treasurehunting .The Cascade Mountains in Washington hold a tale of a rich mine discovered in the 1880s. A mysterious Spaniard was spotted at the French & Company Bank, depositing gold nuggets he claimed to have mined. Many attempted to follow him to the source, but he always managed to lose them. After a year, he vanished, and Yakama Indians began purchasing goods with gold nuggets. They refused to share its location. Later, a skeleton of a man and mule was found near Spirit Lake by Mt. St. Helens. Legend says the Yakama Indians killed the Spaniard and took his treasure. The mine is rumored to be hidden near the headwaters of Lewis River, behind a waterfall in a cavern between Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams.
In Idaho, Jack Breen struck gold near Hayden Lake in 1889. Seeking partners, he secured funding from N. R. Palmeter and Jack Osier. Celebrating in a saloon, Breen attracted unwanted attention, and his partners had him locked in jail for protection. That night, the jail mysteriously caught fire, killing Breen and taking the mine’s location to the grave. Only the Hayden Lake vicinity remains as a clue to the mine’s location.
