Dispatch-Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt — February 1953 (II)

BoreasRex

Clue #1

By now you know Chest One was found;
It rested on the frozen ground
High on a bluff in Cherokee --
A lass it was who had the key.
Since with such ease the Chest was found,
Another treasure's in the ground;
And as you all were proved so smart,
We're sure you'll know just where to start.
So this much we will gladly say:
It's somewhere in the U.S.A.

BoreasRex

Clue #2

The treasure's hid from human eye
Because it's buried in the snow.
And trees are seen from either side --
That's all for now you're gonna know.

BoreasRex

Clue #3

Come out and seek the precious chest
Or stay at home and wonder.
Make sure it's public property,
Or you won't find the plunder.

BoreasRex

Clue #4

If o'er the treasure you now should stand,
You'll see no water but only land;
And if the sun should brilliant be,
You can rest in the shade of a sturdy tree.

BoreasRex

Clue #5

A road runs by not far away,
And buildings can be seen;
The spot on which the dollars lie,
In summer would be green.

BoreasRex

Clue #6

If still you're all fouled up on this,
And wish to find the bounty,
Don't cross a river for the loot,
But stay in Ramsey county.

BoreasRex

Clue #7

The buildings, too, are public owned --
Between them guide your feet,
And listen for a feathered song
Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet.

BoreasRex

Clue #8

It's only fair to tell you that
The treasure's still unfound;
And horses sometimes tread nearby
The much sought-after ground.

BoreasRex

Clue #9

And here it is, the final clue,
Telling exactly what to do.
Between two buildings lies the chest --
The base of a tree I think is best.
Ducks, and chicks, and geese gonna scurry,
When you step outside in your surrey.
Horses will neigh and cattle bellow,
That's all, my friend, good luck to you, fellow.
