Lost Dutchman Goldmine

I'm an amateur (very amateur) photographer, and I've had some photos up via a photo gallery connected with a Jackson Browne fan forum for quite some time. These aren't concert photos, just some shots here and there, and some from a Snake River raft trip I took a couple of years ago, if anyone is int...

Brenda, No need to answer, as it's possible you don't know. I will not ask any other questions along this line.....Promise. :lol: Take care, Joe Actually, I don't know if there is a coworker who has an interest. I've been mentioning it here and there, but no definite response from any immediate cow...

Standing at the mine's entrance Weaver's Needle is at 4 O'Clock That's interesting. I haven't seen that version of that clue before. Here's another one I just found and don't know if anyone's seen it before: >Rising above the Superstitions like the Eiffel Tower is Weaver's Needle, a tall stone mono...

Brenda, I was not fishing for further information on you, or your "fiance". What you have already provided is more than enough. Sorry to hear about Marty's MS. A number of our clients (Power Wheelchair) are afflicted with MS, and the power chairs give them a tremendous amount of freedom. ...

A few thoughts: Joe said something like I am who I say I am, but that there may be more to my story. Then I got to thinking, is he politely fishing for information on my fiance? I may have no serious plans to get my hands on the LDM, but what about the fiance? You are safe there, as well. Marty was ...

All, For anyone who is interested, Brenda is who she says she is. However, that may not be the complete story. Brenda, I have treated you with respect and only you can change that. That is, basically, what I said to kk when she came aboard. I meant it then, and I mean it now. I will assume you are ...

Oh, so this is old news, then.

Well, all I can say is that it looks like the right side has a pretty big hole in it, bigger than the one on the left. Hmmmmmm....

I know someone in here was asking if there was ever another view of Ruth's skull, other than the one that everyone has seen. I came across this site just now, and it appears to show a different photo, but what the validity of the website or author is, I don't know. Take a look: http://home.teleport....

Occam's Razor is not alwayd the ultimate answer but I believe, in this case, it is probably the best theory to apply.

No, not always, seeing as how it's a medieval theory at best, but in this instance, it just might help to get rid of the extra baggage.

Got to go back to the begining and doubt the stories that came down the pike later.

Take care,

Apply Occam's Razor and see what you get.

That Mom, apple pie, baseball, the American Way and clean living will get you far up the Mountain?

Of course if you think I am wrong then for hundred dollars I have a map that shows where Senners cache really was at Squaw Peak .....or is it Piestawa peak again/still ? I can't think whether you are right or wrong. Although I've known about the LDM ever since I was around 12 years old, I'm only ju...

[quote="djui5"]Who knows. That link is very interesting. I haven't seen that stuff before. I like the stone maps page :lol: One of the first things that I read was that the stone maps were fake, and ever since then, I can't seem to get that out of my mind, even though I'm trying to keep it...

Standing at the mine's entrance Weaver's Needle is at 4 O'Clock That's interesting. I haven't seen that version of that clue before. Hmmm, interesting. I've read the clues about Weaver's Needle, and I thought they all said the same thing, perhaps I should pay more attention to what they are actuall...

[quote="Joe Ribaudo"] Like Peter, I have some reservations about you, but I won't let that change the tone of my posts... I urged the last "suspect" to find someone he trusts and get in touch with that person. Just to clear the air, some personal information exchanged, and they c...

A.H., You should be very careful as to how much information you give out on this site. There are some folks here who are really good at taking a little information and turning it into your life story. 8O I am not good at trying to use another ID, as Peter will vouch for. :lol: Take care, Joe Ribaud...

A.H., I figure early sixties, give or take a couple of years. :lol: That would place your D.O.B. in the 1960-65 era. Is your son still living at home, or are you living with him? Joe Ribaudo Not bad, not bad at all. :D No, thank goodness, son is not living at home, and I'm far, far away from living...

Of course. I'm always interesting. :P Actually, I'm quite a rockhound, but I just don't know much about 'em. I've spent a lot of time at the Oregon coast, and streams and rivers, poking around and picking up interesting rocks and shells. I don't know half of what I've picked up, I should sort them a...

lol When most newbies join the forum, they dont go into much detail about their location, their families etc etc. And sure you can shoot me an email at azhomes1@aol.com Always happy to chitchat with a pretty girl.....hope its not from a hotmail account tho.... Peter LOL, I suspect thats because mos...

Excuse me, but I am who I say I am. I am a female, first name of Brenda, living in Oregon. Like I said, because of a kid's novel (Sherriff) I read back when I was around 10 or so, along with a wacky science teacher in 7th and 8th grade, my interest in the Dutchman mine was fostered. If you like, I c...

Alright, I will. It's a busy day at work today, and my fiance's sister is coming up from Eugene for a visit today, so I might not get at this until later, but we shall see what I can find!

Thanks, Zentull, for the information. Yes, I understand that there are other suspects, but I'd just never heard anything about Ruth's driver, so my enquiring mind just wanted to know.

Thanks again!

A couple more questions have come to mind. In Mitchell's "Lost Mines of the Great Southwest," in the tale of "Lost Mine of Don Miguel Peralta," it says: "The following information was given to the writer by Senor Jose Ballesteros de Madrid at his large cattle ranch in Southe...

Nature can be fairly interesting, can't it? <g> Here in Oregon, we have Silver Falls State Park, which is actually 10 waterfalls (if memory serves) within a 7 or 8 mile hiking loop. This is an old volcanic area. Here you will find the "prayer holes to Heaven." These prayer holes are situat...

Thanks all for your thoughts and opinions regarding the underground tunnels. As I said, I thought the site a bit farfetched, but I had to ask about the underground tunnels!
