That was the last word Morriss ever received from Tom Beale. A band of thieves had somehow learned about the gold and silver mine. Beale and his men were killed. Ten years passed. In 1832 Robert Morriss gave up hope of ever hearing from Beale again. He waited patiently, but no letter came from St. Louis telling him how to break the codes. Finally, in 1845, Morriss forced open the box. He read the letter carefully but could make neither head nor tail of the coded messages. For seventeen years he worked on them without success. Finally, in 1862. he called on a young friend, James Ward "I am an old man, James, and I haven't much time to live. It seems plain to me that Tom Beale will never come back. It's been over forty years. But his family and the families of his men must still be alive. They deserve their share of the treasure that my friend worked so hard to get. That is why l am giving the box to you.""To me ?"cried the amazed Ward "Yes. You must promise to try to break the codes and find the place where the gold is buried. For this you may keep half of what you find. The rest should go to the families.Ward was very excited. It seemed to him that he was about to embark on a great adventure. He swore to carry out the old man's wishes. It was to ruin his life.James Ward worked on the codes until he was an old man. He grew to hate the messages, but he could stay away from them. Perhaps it wouldn't have been so if he bad not broken one of the codes. The codes were in numbers, and Ward figured that each number stood of the alphabet. After thousands of ideas, Ward tried the Declaration of Independence. He numbered every word of that document, starting with 1 and ending with 1,322. Then he used the first letter of each word as a key. For example, the first word of the Declaration is "When." If Ward found the number "1" on the Beale papers, he made it a "W," and so on. The day Ward solved that part of the puzzle was probably the last happy day in his life, His hands trembled as he read :"I have deposited in the County of Bedford, about four miles from Buford's, in an excavation or vault six feet below the surface of the ground, the following articles belonging jointly to the parties whose names are given in message number two herewith. "The first deposit consisted of 1,014 pounds of gold and 3,812 pounds of silver, deposited in November, 1819.The second was made in December, 1821, and consisted of 1,907 pounds of gold and 1,288 of silver; also jewels obtained in St. Louis and valued at S13,000. "The above is securely packed in iron pots with iron covers. The vault is roughly lined with stone, and the vessels rest on solid stone and are covered with other stones."Paper number three describes the exact locality of the vault, so that no difficulty will be had in finding it." But that was as far as poor James Ward ever got. Until his death, he cursed Tom Beale for using the Declaration of Independence code for what was buried. If only Beale had used it to tell where the treasure was hidden !From that time until today, thousands of people have tried to break the codes. There is even an organization called the Beale Cypher Committee, made up of code experts. But no one seems to be any closer to breaking the codes than James Ward was.Maybe you can do it. Below is the code that describes the exact location of the treasure. If you can figure out what the numbers stand for, perhaps you will find the missing treasure.
