Sims Ely and the Lost Dutchman Mine
Sorry about the translation issue. The person working this for you apparently is not accustomed to german mining slang. The correct translation is: There is no lode like that, Which has an iron hat. Never said the coordinates were the end of the rainbow. Work the relationship between the coordinates...

Sims Ely and the Lost Dutchman Mine
You can lead them to water but you can`t make them drink. The LDM. Imagine a honeycomb with Waltz`s shaft being but one entrance. The bees have been there for a long time. Still are. Accept the possibility of another history to the Superstitions that does not begin with the stealing of a dead man`s ...

He seems quite the story teller and it seems like he knew what he was talking about. There are 17 letters of correspondence between Mr. Ely and Mr. Watson. From wh...

Also i have read a few of the letters and it appears the correspondence between Ely and this gentlemen regarded some prospecting trips in the Superstitutions. What is fascinating and I maybe...
