The story

Some legends arrive with cannons and kings. This one arrives almost as a whisper — a name in a regional treasure book, a rumor of rich ore, and very little else.

Janni's Chimney belongs to the country near Northport, Washington, recorded in the kind of regional treasure literature where stories pass hand to hand faster than facts. What survives is thin: a name, a region, the promise of rich ore somewhere in the folds of that landscape. The documented detail is sparse, and honesty demands we say so plainly rather than dress the silence in invented color.

So this is a short story by necessity. We will not give you a date that was never written down, a discoverer who was never named, or a hoard whose existence no record confirms. What we have is the legend itself — and the legend, for now, is the whole of it.

Fact vs. legend: Documented: Janni's Chimney is a lost-treasure case recorded in regional treasure literature, associated with rich ore near Northport, Washington. Beyond that the detail is sparse, and the case remains unverified legend.

Search area: The point marks near Northport, WA — the search area or landmark, not the treasure, whose exact location is unknown.
