.He added that a final extensive expedition would be carried out in October and would include scientists specializing in the study of caves.

If this is really the city sought for, a vast amount of gold and silver bullion will be found.

Bill Clinton said: "I wanted to find it, but the Republicans wouldn't let me."

Re-print the title of this and add "Logging & drilling begins in two weeks"
