Alpine is the story of hidden treasure. It is told
a party of Spanish gold seekers passed through the
area when the land belonged to the Indians. The
Spaniards came across an Indian village while the
braves were off on a hunt. They looted the village
of many precious gold and silver trinkets and departed.
But the braves returned shortly thereafter and gave
chase. To lighten their load, the Spaniards hid
two mule skins of treasure somewhere in the chalk
cliffs. The Indians caught up with the Spaniards,
killed most of them but never recovered their treasure
that remains until this day somewhere among the
chalk cliffs on the side of Mt. Princeton. Many
years after the origin of the legend, the city of
Alpine arose, lived a short but exciting life, and
then died. The first cabin was built in 1877 and
by 1880 there was a population of five hundred.
The town flourished as a supply point for other
towns further along Chalk Creek. The city had two
hotels, a dance hall, twenty-three saloons, a newspaper
and all the other usual businesses. About the time
Alpine was beginning to be quite a city, the railroad
extended itself to St. Elmo, and St. Elmo became
everything Alpine was and hoped to be. The newspaper,
the banks and most businesses packed up and moved
to St. Elmo taking most of the population with them.
Now only one tumbledown cabin remains among others
built by outdoorsmen.
