Lost Dutchman Goldmine

Listed are a couple of possibilities, that may match, according to the “black film” found on Harry’s gold bar. Bismuth has been confused with tin and lead, which could be a possible match. Gold containing silver when attacked by sulfur compounds in air forms a black sulfide layer. I would also like ...

Joe,

The drawing of Harry’s gold bar (Member Archive) is what Tracy, said the gold bar looked like and, including Brady's gold bars.

The basic meaning from that of the crown and is a visible sign of authority. In such cultures as that of the Egyptian pharaohs, is a classic illustration of uncommonly shaped crowns with exceptional meanings. In fact, the mitre-like bonnets have been worn though the ages. The Spanish kings wore on t...

I guess it was the gold bar, Harry proudly displayed, that glimmered enough to persuade Tracy along with the others to grab what they needed and head into the mountains. The people involved in the search, were Harry, Bus Bonner (a friend of his), Dale Howard, Ernie Province, Chuck Rabaudo, Doc Lafav...

Tracy said that he was not involved directly with the Brady search, but Chuck Rabaudo, Ernie Province and Dale Howard did ask him to go with them but could not remember the reason he was unable to go. However, from the information Tracy received later on, the cave Bob Brady found was not far from Al...

The gold bars, that both Harry and Brady found (according to Hawkins), were identical.

The reader can take Harry’s story in any mood they choose, and the debates continue whether or not Harry France was a teller of tales telling one of his best that owes more to fiction then to fact. But consider this one thing, if Harry was lying, would he have spent a total of ninety days searching ...

I was told by Tracy L Hawkins, that Harry France sold a gold bar for fifty-six hundred bucks to a Museum in Prescott. I was told it was the Miners Museum or something like that (not the Sharlot Hall), and is now closed. Does anyone know if there was ever a museum in Prescott by that name?

SAND & STONE Two friends were walking through the desert in the Superstition Mountains. During some point of the journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but with out saying anything, wrote in the sand: Today my best friend sl...

In Walter Gassler's manuscript on page 13, he writes: However I found the ridge then the bottom of the wash then all at once, I looked up the ridge and found the 3 stones and then the charcoal pits and the tree grove, just to show you just how secluded that place is I left a 5 gallon tin can I used ...

Joe, I am not offended with your post, and I know that no offense was intended. While at Tracy’s home, he allowed me to tape his story on, Harry France. I have also talked to Tracy a number of times on the phone and wrote down things, that he told me about Harry. When I ask how accurate, Bob Ward’s ...

Randy, The story begins in the early 1970’s that involves a chap named Harry Leslie France. Harry had come to these mountains to meet a friend that had a prospect hole on the north side of Black Top Mesa. What he was doing in the mountains in a thunderstorm sure beats the heck out of me, but I suppo...

Randy,

The rock described by Harry Leslie France, where he discovered six stacks of gold bars, was a single rock shaped like a triangle.

Randy, You are talking about an old blind squaw. Her words to Scholey were, "Three big rocks, like wickiup,” and traced a triangle on the ground with her walking stick. The three big rocks like wickiup, can be seen at Member Archive under buscar. Gassler believed that these three big rocks laid...

Ladies and gentleman, buscar is back in the building!!! So please, nothing worthless or annoying, or the show is over. While Harry was down in the wash, it started to rain a little harder, and when he looked up, he saw a rock on a thirty-five degree angle slope, that had a cavity (hollow hole) under...

Joe said at the beginning of the thread: "Perhaps it would be a good idea to have a topic where those kinds of questions don't get buried under personal attacks or a cold shoulder."

According to Helen Corbin, Gassler’s son told Bob Corbin, that the backpack was listed on the paper which recorded his dad’s effects, but when he picked them up, the backpack was not there. If true, then why, did the sheriff’s office say, “ there was no backpack.” :?: Did Roland ask why the backpack...

You will have to ask, Tracy L Hawkins the answer to your question. Sorry, that we can’t question, Chuck Ribaudo.

Bus Bonner drove to the Fort Whipple Veteran Hospital in Prescott, picked Harry Leslie France up, then joining with the group, packed him into the mountains. Altogether there were twelve people involved in the fruitless search that lasted ninety-days. The hospital report stated that Harry had (FB) f...
