Lost Dutchman Goldmine

Gene, Erwin Ruth remained interested in the Superstition Mountains right up to the time of his death. He kept in contact with a number of people that he knew personally. He was a close friend of Robert Jacobs (Crazy Jake) who originally came to Az. from the Washington D.C. area. He also maintained c...

Joe, In the first place I have nothing to hawk here, in the second place The only thing you have ever figured out correctly is that I do not like you in any way shape or form. You and your typicial Jr. Deputy mentality. While I'm spun, when are you going to learn the difference between, There, their...

Joe, I for one am geting very tired of all of your repostings. You repost things you DON'T like, you repost things DO like, in fact the majority of EVERYTHING you post is a repost of something someone else already posted. If you you do not have anyhting of your own to post, why don't you just SHUT U...

Skeelos It was a letdown for many of us when we first saw it. I guess because we were all expecting it to be exactly like the one on the horse map. If I remember correctly, the guy that made the post about it said it was exactly the same. FYI: Mules and Burros are much calmer than horses and are usu...

Here you go Skeelos, The Priest figure above the horse is Kino. The symbol of the horse was Kino's trademark and a representation of a horse (in many different forms) appeared on Kino's personal belongings. This was unique because the Priests of that period rode Mules or Burros. unless they rode in ...

P Yes, that is pretty much the story I got from someone that was very close to Aylor. Spangler was working out of Aylor's La Barge camp and left Aylor alone with the notes every day for a week or more. The copy I saw was in Aylor's longhand writing. He may have typed them up later. I never thought a...

re: morally questionable circumstances? by that do you mean someone "half inched" the document ?

Simply stated, I understood that Chuck duplicated the notes without permission.

I have heard that there as many as six versions of the Bark notes in circulation. I think they all stem from a hand written copy Chuck Aylor made under morally questionable circumstances. The copy I saw in the library which is probably the copy Roger identifies above is the Thomas Probert annotated ...

Sluicebox, You bring up a question in which I have invested a lot of time searching for an answer. To my knowledge, the only other reference that suggests the LDM might be covered or backfilled is the Apache Jack story about how he, at a young age worked for three moons with a group of squaws coveri...

Joe, Capitalization in bold is not shouting. It is a simple way of clearly seperating the text of two different authors. This is shouting: CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? I'll make a note of your unusual and personal definition of the term "fact" and apply it to your future use of the word. re: For t...

The Bark Notes are available to ANYONE in either the Arizona Archives at the main Phoenix Library or the Capitol Bldg. Library Archives. I forget where I saw them but if you check both places you will find them. I have heard it said that they are copywrited, but I cannot see how they could not have ...

Dave, Here are some "facts". Ribaudo uses the term "facts" rather "Loosely" here. Waltz, while he may have been afraid of the Apache, did not let that fear stop him from staking claims in the Prescott area. He had friends he trusted, from the same area, and they were a...

Fritzski, Back 2 or 3 months ago there were a lot of whispers going around about a 65’ shaft some of the guys from the SMHS found and explored in the general area of interest identified in Jenkins’ Lost Lode . The shaft was high up on a small ledge and had a small tripod type head frame over it. If ...

Were you talking about me in code?


???? You lost me Jesse, I don't think I was in that conversation.

Why would you be reading recent publications Joe?

I thought you had everything all figured out and were solidly planted in the "Busca El Triangle" camp?

That one doesn't even pass the Giggle test!

Roger, In response to: “I think Dick Holmes lied about being there and fabricated the whole story about Jake's deathbed confession about what the mine location and area was like.” I once believed exactly as you do, but in view of recent conversations with well known current generation searchers whos...

Another outstanding contribution to the Graffiti Wall straight from the Ribaudo Camp.

Go Joe Go!

Welcome to another Joe Ribaudo Graffiti Wall. Kick your shoes off and get comfortable, bring a pen and paper in case you want to take notes. Joe went to all the trouble to share this information with us and the least we can do is treat it with the sincerity and respect it deserves. The more you read...

Armchair, We all tend to get a little "Down" on Barry Storm when we compare his work to some of the authors that followed him. We fail to remember that when Storm was searching and writing Trail of the Dutchman , (His first book) there were few references in the public library for him to r...

Redison, Why don't you tell us just how much you have contributed to this site? What's your "mark"? Tell us which one of your posts was a personal best. So far, the only accolades I have heard came from Peter. Not to worry, as I am still trying to "get over" myself. Hard job, bu...

Redison, :lol: :lol: No doubt you are correct. Respectfully, Joe You bet I'm correct, It’s too bad your mark on the wall is little more than the adult version of the neighborhood kid with a can of spray paint splashing his graffiti all over with his name on it and thinking he is making himself famo...

All of those folks have been "famous" or "notorious", so I can see why they are hiding from a multitude of the adoring puplic. :lol: Joe Nobody gets to be be "famous" or "notorious" by hiding Joe. The fact that the folks to which you seem to be refering, do n...
