Did Thorne depart from fort McDowell or from fort wingate?
I dont even know where fort wingate was located
Or did Thorne depart from an Indian village and if so which one?

I do not think that Clay would spin a yarn about tha LDM being that he hates the bull and how it has made finding the mine that much more difficult As for taking place in 1869, doesn't that place it prior to when Waltz is supposed to have found the mine?

There is the possibility that the story of Dr Thornes gold does not apply to the Lost Dutchman at all Sims Ely is not explicit about it and Dr Thornes clues do not mesh with others Also there is some confusion as to which peak he saw In elys book it is stated that it was the peak like the organ of a...

I think you nailed it
Waltz must have spread some boloney at sometime
Julia must have heard this from some source early on
If she had listened to waltz and rejected all the other clues she picked up along the way..... Well the mine might not be lost today

One of the recorded accounts of Waltz is an asset report which assessed the value of waltz's gold at $248,000 per ton! There is no mine in the history of the United States that ever assayed at that high a value The Vulture mine of which Waltz worked for a time hit just shy of $100,000 per ton The ma...

I thank the great architect of the universe for that
