Lost Dutchman Goldmine

Peter, <br> <br> While I have been all over the mountains with past interests in many places , I'm not sure which mountain your'e talking about. Prior to 1984 , I prospected and looked many places.

This tunnel was opened in 1959, The people who went into it found some artifacts and also timbering which date it as hipanic. I have do[beep]entation to that effect. The man that led that dig was the central character in " Crooked Mountain<" which tells alot of the story of the history beh...

To D.Hunter <br> <br> I have to say I agree with yopu on the gila monsters, but my webmaster thought they were great. So for now I guess they'll appear. Maybe we can slow them down.

Hello Ron, <br> <br>If you can contact me at the email address supplied I have a couple of questions about one of your digs a few years back. While I wont go into details on this forum I know the dig was on a certain black topped mountain (NOT Black Top Mesa!), east of Labarge. This particular mount...

I like the web site, and hope more people start posting things. But please, lose the little gila monsters that keep crawling all over the screen and stopping on top of whatever I'm trying to read!

I would like to know more about what you've found. A Spanish tunnel, you say? You must have found artifacts already to verify your claim to the feds - what sort of artifacts? Do you get to keep part of the loot, or only the publicity? How does that all work?

Independant endorsement: I read Crooked Mountain, and really enjoyed it. Very interesting perspective on some Arizona history I thought I knew. I haven't read Zig Zag Canyon yet, but I keep meaning to pick it up. You write well, keep it up!

They were probably referring to Al Morrow, who died at his camp in Needle Canyon in 1970 when a boulder crushed him. From all accounts he was a nice guy.

Yes. It's all true, there are dracos and lizard men out in the Superstitions. They are the minions of the race of tiny Dutchmen that inhabit the center of the earth and come to the surface at Weavers Needle. Phil should avoid the mountains by all means. The safety of the galaxy depends on it!

I saw the History Channel program about the Lost Dutchman and all the guys looking for it. One of the things in the program was a guy that got crushed by a boulder while mining. Does anyone know his name and where it happened? <br> <br>Thanks in advance!!!

yes i want to be rich and if not at least be the one to discover the ld mine. that was my thoughts years ago when i invested two years of reading everything there was to the story all the truths and all the lies and then deciding which ones were which and then finaly placing it all on typographical ...

Too bad. Other forums and websites have also been visited by the lunatic fringe <br>and now we have the tale of Phil Allen and his Draco Army. How nice. <br> <br>I have often wondered why the crazies are drawn to this subject........

While casually researching the LDM, I found this odd "account". The most obvious question is: is there a real Phil Allen (common name, huh?)? <br> <br> <br>Subject: The Superstition Mountains And The Dracos. Jan. 16, 2001. <br> <br> Gather round ye hearties and I will spin a little tale ab...

Thank you for the comment on Crooked Mountain. Glad you enjoyed it. I apoligize to all for not responding quicker to the bulletin board sooner, but not being a computer person and still getting to know my way around it, I just found this means to post comments today. I have looked for the Dutchman f...

Hope your book does well. I saw the plug, somewhat late, on KUSK this morning. This is the reason, so many questions.

What is a treasure trove permit? Does it apply to mined & processed material? Is there a fee? Where may I find more information? On what grounds will the government issue such a permit? Do you need proof, or just tell them ,"I tripped over a gold "boot""? Do you need a permit...

found some new interesting info. on line... makes sense too. i might as well tell you that i have been sort of writing my own book in child form called the arizona crow. some is myth some is becoming its own legend. hope that i caught your attention. well any way will be out that way soon hopefully ...

I'd suggest that we could try to think of a constructive way to help fix this problem. Isn't the SMHS composed of all volunteers? So if there are problems getting the journal and newsletter out, maybe some of us could spare some time to help out (assuming that the problem is lack of resources). I se...

The next SMHS Board Meeting is Tuesday, May 21st at 575 N Idaho Road, Apache Junction. Our Board Meetings are held the 3rd Tuesday of every month for those of you wanting to attend them. If you would like to be on the board please contact us and we will send you an application. The last newsletter w...

I have read your comments and I look forward to your comments on what yoyu would like to see in the newsletter now that we have it coming out quarterly.

HAve you given us your correct address?

I have read your comments and made a copy of them to take to the SMHS Board Meeting at 6:00 pm Tuesday, May 21, 2002. If any of you would like to attend and also voice your comments the meeting will be held at 575 N Idaho Road, Apache Junction, AZ in the County Supervisors Board Room. If anyone of y...

We have the newsletter back on track and it is coming out quarterly. Volume 19 Number 1 Jan-April 2002 was sent in January 2002, Volume 19 Number 2 April-July was sent mid-April. I am currently working on Volume 19 Number 3 that will be coming out In late July 2002. The Volume 18 SM Journal 2000 is ...

The newsletters are also not coming out quarterly, sometimes only twice a year, and there really isn't much in the way of news in them. If the SMHS doesn't start living up to it's part of the deal, I predict a drop in membership renewals.

I inquired about the journal last December and was told the staff had too much work to do and they were trying to edit and proofread the materials for printing. That was 6 months ago. I gathered the staff was busy with other things and the journal took the back burner. This doesn't present a good im...

Seems to me you folks need some sort of "editor-in -chief" person to be responsible for editing and putting together the journal. This can be a daunting task for someone doing this in their spare time, or who needs to handle a half-dozen or so other chores and still worry about the tedious...
