The Gold

Lizzie,

Did your father return with ore samples from the cave?

If so how would you describe their look?


Sincerely,

The gold

E. See you soon. The deposit is very interesting. You are right. Jim Bark said it well. Take Care Mr. Feldman I had to smile when I saw your point regarding the deposits in Goldfield. We can agree or disagree as to what the deposit is but we have a basis for communication. That really is what this i...

One final thought

Mr. Feldman, Also: 1. Does the utilization of the terms mesothermic quartz, epithermic quartz, really tell one anything about the ore deposit, samples in question? A number of epthermal ore deposits have quartzes that one can say are mesothermal. Examples would include Goldfield, Nevada, The Ophir, ...

The Gold

Mr. Feldman, Let`s try this differently. 1. Assuming for the moment that the matchbox ore is high sulfur, contains enargite, pyrite, quartz-alunite-gold, kaolinite, with tellurides, what does that suggest to you the deposit is. Is it epithermal, mesothermal or hypothermal? 2. What would you consider...

The Gold

Mr. Fieldman, 1. Deposit Formation temperatures are not quartz crystallization temperatures. 2. Since Quartz forms first in a deposit ahead of iron sulfides, spaherlite, enagrite, chalcopyrite, gold, the silver minerals etc., quartz very well maybe mesothermal in nature with the mineralogy of the de...

The gold

I grant that there are deposits of gold in the Superstitions. Who knows really who is working them and where they exist. The Apache`s are likely suspects along with prospectors who keep themselves beneath the radar screen and their mouths shut. The LDM is a different matter. The LDM refers to a part...

The Gold

So if we are dealing with multiple gold samples from different deposits how it is any one mine can be said to be the legendary dutchman? Guess gold samples would led to endless debate unless a primary source document existed to tie the dutchman to a particular mine or mines. Who can say where the go...

The Gold

Can`t seem to reconcile the pictures of the gold I have seen from under the Dutchman`s bed with accounts of the gold found in Mr. Ely`s book. Can anybody help. I did read Mr. Glover`s ore analysis. No disrespect intended but what a bunch of nonsense. Mesothermal Quartz so what. That doesen`t tell yo...

Sim Ely

Mr. Ribaudo, Thank you for the informatin on Mr. Ely. I have not been able to find the book you mention but I would like to read it. Did read a few articles on his stay in Boulder City. He seems to have been quite stern and given the times maybe it was what was needed. Don`t believe his style would ...

Boulder City

Wonder why Mr. Ely spent 10 years in Boulder City? I mean did he need the work? I thought he was a newspaper man? Seems a long way from Phoenix. At least for the time. Did his wife join him?

Pretty little town. Lot of interesting history near there on the Colorado River.

Thank You.
