Re: Why didn't Waltz file a claim?

This is the most truth ever spoken on the Dutchman scam • He never had a mine in the Superstitions to file a claim on. Hola amigos, and a special HOWDY out to Roc2Rol and Ashton! I must respectfully disagree with that post, as an opinion only. For one thing, keep in mind that actions speak louder t...

Re: Emil and Julia Thomas Bakery

Hola amigos, Whew! Looks like some ruffed feathers and a lot of information, as well as accusations went flying here. As this post will be rather long, and drifting off topic, I must ask for your patience, thanks in advance. Matthew Roberts wrote Oroblanco, you posted this to me and said no one assi...

Re: The Hog Canyon rattle snake faker.

Hola amigos, Burrowing owls can mimic the sound of a rattler perfectly, and will do so if cornered and frightened. An amusing incident in the Custer story was when the Custer brothers put one of these cute little owls under another officers chair in camp and invited him to sit on it, and of course h...

Re: Emil and Julia Thomas Bakery

Interesting stuff amigos! I suspect that the wrong address (if wrong) came from Julia herself, not Ely, as Mitchell also stated the same description of her shop being across from the City Hall, and he got his info from the same source as Ely. The capital building is quite another matter and very com...

Re: Emil and Julia Thomas Bakery

A big HOWDY to our amigos Ozarker and my compliments on your excellent research. Thank you for sharing it. I would only add that John D. Mitchell, also was among those who interviewed Julia and his version of the LDM story has her shop "across the street from City Hall". Not to speak for M...

I would say no - for the Society of Jesus was the beneficiary of many large gifts of money and real estate, which some of our skeptics say is "the" source of what little money they had.

Re: The FACTS Behind Jesuit Rules, Mines, and Treasures

According to Dobie, the king of Spain passed a law in 1592 against priests (of any Order not just Jesuits) and it was so grossly violated that king Philip III reiterated the law in 1621, providing for a rigorous prosecution of offenders; a Royal decree was issued in 1703 bringing attention to the sc...
