We've been researching this story for a year now and finally got out in the mountains near Hyder to explore the area. One of the guys that went with us broke down and it shortened the trip, but it was interesting none the less.  If your interested in this kind of thing, this would be a great one to look into. It not commonly known so the hills haven't been scoured by hundreds of people looking for the gold bars. I'd say this was probably one of the best lost treasure stories I've ever run into.
