Buried Treasures In Morocco. In Morocco It is customary for a man to bury most of his riches in a place known only to himself. This custom cus-tom is practiced by all Moors, for they cannot trust their own family, who would murder them directly it was known where the money was. At the death of the head of a family fam-ily in Morocco digging operations commence com-mence at once, but seldom is the money mon-ey discovered. There must be many fortunes burled away in odd corners of the country. An instance came under un-der the writer's notice at one of the coast towns. During the demolition of a house a considerable sum of money mon-ey was found built into the wall.
