Lost Dutchman Goldmine

Gentlemen,

I have not followed the Forum for some time. Too much else going on with the new books. The other day, however, a colleague who is giving a radio presentation about the Dutchman in Europe asked me for some information. One of his queries I could not answer concerned the story of the ...

Once upon A Time In England

Something has reminded me of a long ago conversation. When I was a researching at the Royal Veterinary College in London the head of the techs. for physiology was a man named Goeff. I almost always went over to have tea with the techs, it was almost a ritual. They were ...

Hi People,

While I don't have much to do with the Forums these days, I received the below and wanted to share it. I have visited many American military cemeteries in France, and those visits never leave you.

You could have heard a pin drop

When in England, at a fairly large
conference ...

Joe,

No that isn’t what I was looking for, but, thanks for trying—I realize it is a most esoteric query.

However, with the help of the law library at the capitol I have the answer, many thanks to them, especially Mr. Sepulveda. Thought I would pass along this tiny tidbit of information that ...

Waltz lived on Section 16 (T1N, R3E), which is commonly referred to as “School Land” since sections 16 and 36 were set aside as “School Lands”. As such it seems they could not be claimed under the Homestead Act of 1863 (’62?). I have confirmed that this is the case, but I am puzzled when I read the ...

This year I had the luxury of spending two plus months in Arizona. This gave me time to attend part of the Rendezvous and talk with people. Afterwards I was laid low by a rather nasty virus for a good part of the time; however, I did manage to visit with some friends and talk to people in the book ...

I just had a telephone call from Gene Reynolds. He is in the hospital, says his blood pressure was 65 over something like 40. Apparently they are trying to get him up to a strength where he can stand surgery--pacemaker. He sounds very weak and short of breath. Called me to ask if I would please ...

Zentell,

Yes the papers did report on the mining activity, perhaps not anything and everything, but not far off that. However, and I believe that it is a big however, what papers printed tended to be about the mines in their area. They carried mining news about other areas true, but these stories ...

Randy,

Okay, I spoke too soon. Things are getting weird. I am not trying to turn this into a techie thread, but as there is a chance that other forum members might be having the same problem I want to pursue this matter a wee bit further.

Randy, could you please do me a favor, could you right ...

Joe,

No not too weird. You cleared it up reporting that the Profiles feature is working. I use Firefox for my browser, and it turns out that all other features that I have accessed on this forum using Firefox work, except the Profiles feature. When I switch to Internet Exploder the Profiles feature ...

Joe,

Yes. When I click mine I get a blank screen.

While on the subject of things missing, what happened to the profiles page where you could look up a member and send and email, or look to see if they have posted lately, etc.

Bicknell’s articles concerning the Lost Dutchman were written between 1894 and 1895. As Joe has noted Bicknell knew the Superstitions years before Waltz’s death. His article “Superstition Mountains, Old Myths and Legends Dispelled” appeared in the Arizona Daily Gazette August 10th 1886. Bicknell’s ...

I just wanted to add that the accidental deleting of a message(s) is something that can happen in emails. I have gotten a ton of spam ever since I posted a website with my email address on it.

When deleting the spam it is always a concern of mine that I may delete an actual message, especially ...

Wayne,

I was listening to a tape of a conversation I had with another Dutch Hunter the other day. The tape was made years ago and it had been years since I listened to it. In it was something I had forgotten. In my conversations with Linda Peraltas I was told that after hearing of the “massacre ...

Greetings all,

Does anyone have a lead on Waltz's religion? One old time Dutch Hunter thought he was Jewish because he had been sold a bible, reportedly Waltz's bible, and it was a Jewish Bible. Others have thought Catholic, or Lutheran or ??

Re: the Sims Ely thread. I just found that thread and ...

Roger,

The information in my book comes from the Bark Notes. Bark knew Chunning and I took his information as reliable as such information gets. What was (and is) of interest to me is the time line. What we know of Deering and his clues comes from Chuning by way of Bark. Yet according to Bark ...

To all,

Concerning the recent interest in the Bully Bueno mine, its possible location, the location of Bueno and possiblitiy that the Bully Bueno was associated with the Goodwin Ledge...

I have just posted a map of the Goodwin Lode and associated claims from Hinton's 1877 book. Note that at the ...

Zentull,

The source I know for this story comes from Storm’s book Thunder God’s Gold . On pages 40 and 41 it reads:

Strangely, the story was verified many years previously in the 1870s by one of the older Indians of the tribe who was covertly keeping an eye upon things with the advent of roving ...

Roger,

My sincere condolences. I believe that it must be hardest to lose someone twice, and it seems to me that that is what happens with someone who gets Alzheimer's. I watched Al (Reser) slowly sink into Alzheimer's and it wasn't his death so much that hurt, but watching him slip away and lose ...

Joe,

No I don't think I did get that email. Things were strange back then. I thank you for it now thought.

My best,

Thomas

Joe,

Along with all your other friends my thoughts and prayers go out to and for you in this time trial. For that is what it is. As with Joe, I had a great deal of time to prepare for the passing of my father. He had COPD which is a very slow, terminal illness. While you think you are preparing ...

Perhaps a little levity......


George Bush goes to a primary school to talk to the kids to get a
little PR. After his talk he offers question time. One little boy puts up his
hand and George asks him his name.

"Stanley," responds the little boy.

"And what is your question, Stanley?"

"I ...

Don,

Thanks for your post. It made me check and there were two photos that I forgot to upload: a close up of the ravine and the one showing where Custer died. I have now uploaded them.

Thomas

Since many of the members of the Forum are not only interested in the Dutchman, but also general Western history I have posted some photos taken this year on our holiday. There is one set of the Custer Battlefield and another of Virginia City, Montana.

The Custer Battlefield:

What impressed me was ...
