273C: Four Corners Young Adult Mystery

It’s a young adult mystery set in Four Corners area (Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona).  A family moves to the Four Corner Area and the teen aged kids get involved with a museum.  The mystery involves oil and artifacts from the area.  The name of the book include the words “Black Gold,” but I’m not sure.  I read the paperback in the later 50s or early 60s.

    “Black Treasure” by Roger Barlow.
    “Sandy Steele and Quiz Taylor constructed an oil res­ervoir
    analyzer as their entry in the Science Fair. They didn’t win first
    prize, but they were of­fered summer jobs in the oil fields of Four
    Corners. This book is the story of that action-packed summer. As the
    boys search for oil and uranium, they must unmask a dangerous
    masquerader!” – See more at: http://www.whatsthatbook.com/?xq=20255#sthash.BkhQjjwI.dpuf
