Lost Dutchman Goldmine

Hello to all that are still looking in on this site.

In my absence I have been going through the archives here and poking my nose into in some dark corners. I have even talked to a few "Giants" and discovered some of the stories behind the stories that we have only been getting bits and pieces of ...

I believe in Chuck Kenworthy's work. I have spoke his son Tiger Kenworthy on the phone and E-Mailed him numerous times about his Fathers work. This I did while discussing my Gold Mine Claim and property. He's a good man. But, he's also a Lawyer and wouldn't talk to much about anything related to ...

I pulled all of my dogs out of this fight when it got childish and personal, and some might say that I have no right to introduce another dog into it at this late date. If the responses that follow this post indicate that to be the case I will gladly delete it as well.

There you go mike, Go to the SOURCE!

I can only WISH that I did personally know some of the people you mention. But, I am working closer to the sources every day.

You are correct! Too many people write things in their books based on second hand information pertaining to individuals that are still ...

Re:
The maps have many clues as to who created them, but you have to know the history of the mountains and the men who knew them best to suspect their creator.
How large is that list? Maybe two or three men..... Perhaps, working together.

If you cannot find the answers to your questions in the 36 pages of posts on the stone maps, the odds are either the answer does not exist or is closely guarded info that is not going to be turned loose by the individuals that have it. As far as Mr. K is concerned, the more people you talk to ...

Glad to see "Challange Fo Joe Ribado" by, Peter, moved out of the LDM Forum. Other topics that have been left behind are:

Matthew,

Your reputation for your knowledge of Pioneer history is impeccable. Your personal experiences with certain historical figures ads something that can only be admired by the rest of us, and the amount of time you have actually spent with your boots on the ground in the mountains is ...

Quoting matthew...

"The 50th claimant can't take precedent because he may have found the deposit on the claim. It just doesn't work that way."

I am sorry to inform you that according to what the BLM told me, IT DOES WORK THAT WAY.

I recently spent an entire afternoon at the BLM office with a ...

Zentull,

I have always felt that Bulff Spring Mountain had a lot of potential for being the location for the LDM mostly because of all the documented previous activity there that you mention. The only thing that has kept me from pursuing it further is the idea that in what limited material I have ...

Matthew,

You are partially correct in your statement below:

"There was nothing which precluded Walter from filing the claim papers. It did not mean Walter owned a claim or owned the land or even had a mineral deposit, all it meant was he was the legal holder of that specific piece of ground and ...

As it has been explained to me, there has NEVER been a legitimate "Mining Claim" filed anywhere on Peter's Mesa by ANYONE. At best all anyone could have ever filed would have been a "Prospecting Claim". In order to have a legitimate "Mining Claim" one must make "Discovery" and and actually produce ...

The name of this thread and it's intended topic is the Walter Gassler Mystery. It was started and contributed to by members who would like to discuss that topic.

For those who would like to discuss the problems of the forum and problems with other people on the forum , would you please take your ...

Last night I received an email that told me to read an article titled MYSTERY GOLD in the Dec. 1, 1998 issue of the Arizona Territorial by Tom Kollenborn. It is supposed to be the complete story about Walter Gassler’s death in the Superstitions. I do not have access to the old issues of the ...

krf,

Sorry you took it that way, I said it was a compliment. Also sorry you took my questions as "out of line". No answer or can't say is always ok.

I told you I would not say more after your first post. You addressed part of your posts to me, so I assumed you wanted a response. I can hear the ...

Matthew,

You do make that saddle sound like a place that would be worth going to see. For as many times as I have been back into I.S. Canyon I have never seen the slightest sign of a trail in there anywhere. You mentioned that it is now overgrown. That may be why I have not seen it. I usually keep ...

Matthew,

Thank You for the advice. I will comply with it and avoid private conversations with people I do not know. The last thing I want is to make a bunch of LDM'ers think I have any secret information about the location of their mine. I have already revealed almost everything I know anyway and ...

Joe,

As far as I can see there is no tie between Ruth and the LDM or Willow Spring. Neither of them are mentioned in the informtion I have and I do not recall mentioning either of them in my post. If you wish to tie Ruth to the LDM you will have to make that connection yourself.

Good Luck,

krf

Joe,

I am sorry, you asked for my source of the Ruth material. I intended to reply to that and I got off into something else and forgot about it. I have no objection to telling you where I got the information even though it may cause you and a few others to raise an eyebrow and roll your eyes.
