About 20 years ago Chirlqui became
suddenly famous on, account of the
curious relics which were unearthed
from tho guacas, or graves, which are
the only traces of their existence left
by s people who lived in this region at
some prehistoric period. Many years ago

these guncns, which contained a number
of gold ornaments. Immediately thou-
sands of the nntives engaged in the
search for similar repositories of treas-
ure. Several hundred thousand dollars'
worth of gold ornaments are believed to
have been found but they were melted
and sold for their weight in coin. At
length the attention oi archeologiste was
attracted md systematic digging was ln-
