[seeking the location of an old Mexican silver mine, Roy, Cookie, Lee and the Padre find a clue on one of the bells of San Angelo church]

Padre: [reading the inscription] "As the sun rises, the shadow of my arms and the pillar of my strength shall mark that which God made and whence came the bells of San Angelo."

Lee Madison: That's beautiful!

Cookie Bullfincher: But what does it mean?

Roy Rogers: "... The shadow of my arms and the pillar of my strength..." Arms, pillar - that must mean a cross! Cookie, do you know where there's a cross around here?

Padre: None now, but there was a shrine many years ago to which the people came to pray to Santa Guadalupe at Easter.

Cookie Bullfincher: Sure, Padre, I remember. On your side of the border near some rimrock!
