In New Mexico a tradition holds that many vanished mines and springs were caused by Pueblo Indians after 1680. The revolt led to sealing mines and drying springs by plugging rock crevices with soaked fir bark, a method believed to permanently destroy water sources. Some searches still uncover stale moisture and hidden springs reappear. Topeka Capital.
