That story sounds like a corruption of the 'silver mine' story which 
apparently has some basis in truth.  As the much touted and lamented Aletsch 
Glacier receded it exposed the shafts of an ancient silver mine where the 
mining 
tools had been stacked against the miners returning the next spring to 
continue unabated.  But the glacier never receded that far for several 
thousand 
years until recently.
