Re: Rendezvous and Ely's Book
Cuzzin J, Thomas organized and donated all that material to ASU, on behalf of the Ely Family , so their history wold be preserved and available to all. He would be a GREAT (The only?) person to ask about what went into the collection, and its history...Thomas was friends with Northcutt Ely for a lon...

Re: cravey /ruth
Well said, Don. :D anyway the "hrdlicka never rose above the level of mediocrity" quote was apparently made by a contemporary anthropologist during hrdlickas "peak period" .who this person was isnt mentioned. The guy’s name was Robert H. Lowie…he was a protégé and “on the team” o...

Re: cravey /ruth
Hi Don, If Hrdlicka ever said that the skull came from a 66 y/o man, we’d know right then and there that he was probably exaggerating what he was able to discern from a skull. So it would be significant. Based on actually reading and studying Hrdlicka’s work, I would be surprised if he really said h...

Re: cravey /ruth
Hi Don, First, no need to explain or apologize for being “argumentative”…it’s just discussion. You’re not going to offend me, I say keep it up. 8) Second, I see nothing presented so far, which would indicate Hrdlicka was unqualified to identify skeletal remains using anthropometry. Quite the opposit...

Jim hello i hope you are keeping well..i dont pretend to know anything about anthropometry ,other than what its used for...heres a short copy and paste printed in 2004..what is /was true in 2004 must have been equally true in 1931, "Anthropometry is the technical name for this preoccupation. I...

Re: cravey /ruth
Hi Don, I really do understand the skepticism surrounding Hrdlicka’s changing of his draft report. However, it’s not uncommon for a scientist to make an initial finding, only to “scale it back” as he further considers the problem. I think these changes only reflect a desire to arrive at the most sci...

Re: cravey /ruth
Don, Not sure if anyone has posted these before. I was curious as to what was in the newspapers at the time regarding Cravey's disappearance and the finding of his remains. I found that Tom K. had pretty much covered it all in his article that Garry linked to, but there are a few tidbits in the news...

Re: cravey /ruth
PS again: I was a bit confused as to where the references to different firearms were coming from. I was remembering the final part of Hrdlicka’s notarized affidavit where he refers to it only as a shot from a gun (changing it from “high-powered gun”). I went back and looked at the affidavit and saw ...

Re: cravey /ruth
Don, last summer a friend of mine was hiking down the road (in AZ) to get back to where his truck was parked…he stopped to lay down in some shade under a tree about 20ft. from the road. He just happened to be looking across the road when out of nowhere a tortoise fell out of the sky and ruptured on ...

R. O. Ackerman and the Grave Marker
Many firearms aficionados will recognize the name R. O. Ackerman. He was prolific in trade publications up until he passed away in 2000, specializing mostly in black powder and other antique firearms. He also published several pamphlets on black powder shooting and building muzzleloaders. He is ofte...

Re: Gold-Tellerum Ore (AuTe)
Hi Cuzzin Jack, good to see you posting again. :D If I may interject here, although from a position of considerable ignorance regarding mineralogy: I believe the point Thomas was making is that the presence of Te in the match-safe is pretty much irrelevant. At least that's how I read it. First, I be...

Section 16
Hello all, I know this has been discussed in the past, but I'm looking for any actual records pertaining to the ownership of the NW qtr of section 16 (the quarter section immediately to the west of Waltz). My grandmother lived on that section for many years, at 964 E. Cocopah... which is ~ 1000 yard...

Re: for gods sake
Hi Don, I think lots of people still check this site. Maybe the reason very little gets posted here anymore is that pretty much everything has already been hashed over, twice :D A lot of the old posters here might have also moved on to other interests, or as we sadly note, passed on. I've been distr...

Re: Rendezvous
Hi Thomas, Hope all is well with you and yours. Being much more interested in the Bradshaws than I ever was in the Supes, it has always seemed to me that the Dutchman legend describes the events along Turkey Creek (and lower down in Black Canyon) in the early years of 1863/1864. Literally everything...

Re: Massacure
Jack, Good work on digging all that stuff up so quickly. I've done a little digging when the Jesuits come up in forum discussions, but have only scratched the surface. The instance you relate of Kino being involved in punishment may be misinterpreted. I believe Deducer posted a letter from Kino on T...

Re: Massacure
Hi Jack, Yes, the Jesuits would have had a separate transportation system if they were smuggling gold. Such a system is another thing I'm not convinced of, but I have done no research in that area so I'm pretty ignorant of what was or wasn't going on. There are people here who ARE well versed in the...

Re: Massacure
Jack, I for one certainly find it intriguing, it's obvious you've given this a great deal of thought. Not that I'm convinced that the Chinese were in the Supes, as it would have been far easier for the Jesuits to trade gold to the Chinese in the Philippines, and it would make sense that they would l...

Hi Jack, I don't need to tell you this, as you are well aware...but the areas of high mineral potential, in the 1993 map above, appears to be incomplete...they are lacking data, still, which is not surprising given how hard it is for them to gather the data. Just something for everyone to keep in mi...
