Sounds like a good starting point for Dan Brown's next book.

Subject: interesting morning


It's amazing the things you learn on the reference desk.  This morning,
I've learned that Montezuma spoke Ute; that 2000lb bars of gold, sacks
of Spanish coins from the 1500s, and "over 1500 lbs of 20-lb bars of
gold" are laying all around the Uintah Mountains in eastern Utah; that
there are also "red diamond" mines, and that a bar of gold that is 600
ft by 2000ft is also somewhere in the Uintahs.  The patron of course
knows exactly where they are; as soon as he takes over all the
electricity generation in the country he is going to get them in the
giant trucks he has ordered from Austria.  Or use his hovercraft.
