Re: Another Dutch Hunter Crosses Over

Joe,

Our sympathies go out to you - I know you were old friends.

I am glad we had the opportunity and honor to spend some time getting to know him and hearing some of his stories during the last Rendezvous.

He, and his knowledge, will be missed.

Re: The Lost Dutchman Mine: Does it exist?

The "lust for gold" - or at least the illusion of it, is still alive and well today. I believe Jim Hatt was quite concerned over what was happening at the time, (and, imo, for good reason) because, he also sent me the same pictures and note as Mike got, and, not too long afterwards, sent m...

Re: Travis Tumlinson and the Stone Maps

Somehiker, That is an interesting point. Chi Rho is actually Greek, (a Greek manufactured symbol), which was put together to mean "Christogram". (a symbol for Christ), that was used for vestments and such. It was used along with INRI and IHS (which are also christograms meaning Christ). Ho...

Re: Travis Tumlinson and the Stone Maps

Somehiker, I would have to totally disagree with the idea that the wrong stones were presented to DAI. IF - big if - they were the wrong stones - then the stones we are currently discussing, the ones that Mike has handled, etc., are also the wrong stones. And, it makes absolutely no sense to have co...

Re: Travis Tumlinson and the Stone Maps

Alanm, I have, indeed, spent quite a bit of time researching the stones, and, just in case you do not know, I have also lived in Arizona, and still own a home there. As far as his "book" - I was not speaking of his book, but, rather, his letters to the McGees, in which, Travis Marlowe (Mit...

Re: Travis Tumlinson and the Stone Maps

Thanks Ozarker,

I went back and read it a couple of times - but, wasn't sure.

On a different Travis question - was he ever called Jack? I ask, because I know Travis Marlowe (Mitchell), said that "Jack' had found the stones.

Re: Travis Tumlinson and the Stone Maps

Mike, I'm not sure how you determined their methods (looking with microscope or otherwise), but, I will repost the reports I got, and leave it at that, since, I forgot that when I posted them before, they were deleted (not by this forum). Just so anyone/everyone can see what was said at the time, wh...

Re: Travis Tumlinson and the Stone Maps

Mike, I did not think to ask about the differences in sanding when I spoke with DA, but I did ask about the electric/modern day versus old type differences. Here is the answer I got from Jenny Adams. (I'm assuming you have read all the other letters from DA that I have) Beth: My determination that t...

Re: Travis Tumlinson and the Stone Maps

Okay,

First, let's look at Bob Tumlinson:

How much faith can we put in anything he says? He told Brower and Love different stories regarding the finding of the stones
Now, how is that different from what we are discussing about Janie?

Re: Travis Tumlinson and the Stone Maps

I am not "lumping" Travis with Crazy Jake. I am replying to the statement you made that there is no reason for Travis to have gone up into the hills to look for treasure - and sent his relative to do similar things. Your statement, Mike, was that is made O (zero) sense. My point is that - ...

Re: Travis Tumlinson and the Stone Maps

All the questions that have been asked, brings to mind a hoaxster (sp) of a grand scale (for the times). Crazy Jake - while bilking lots and lots of money from the wealthy - always kept camps, and outfits, and supplies - and went out with all his potential "investors" on several trips. Its...

Re: Travis Tumlinson and the Stone Maps

Mike,

I believe, at this point, it is not necessarily a case of believing Garry or believing you, but rather - believing the source.

Re: USGS Circular# 609 "Mercury in Soil Gas and Air ~~~~~"

Paul, I understood what you meant with the cinnebar/mercury thing. No reason to change how you said it. And, mercury isn't always "locked" into cinnebar, it sometimes shows up in native form. As for your question - yes, I was looking for any references to that mine, in particular, to see i...

Re: USGS Circular# 609 "Mercury in Soil Gas and Air ~~~~~"

I'm not going to even pretend that I know much about this "mercury in the air" stuff, though, what I've read so far is interesting. What I'm not understanding - first - and this is directed for anyone - how can mercury in the air be larger over a deposit of cinnebar (mercury chemically bou...
