I find these Lost Dutchman Mine threads amusing & watch them wildly drift. Didn't this start out trying to figure out who had small feet? Tex Barkley had small feet for his size, Brownie Holmes was a small man & had small feet. Barkley didn't like all the treasure hunters wandering around messing up his ranch & was known for messing w/ clues. Holmes was just a screwball. Who shot @ who? Who cares, they're all gone now to be replaced by other screwballs. The Apache sacred cave is close to the mine, those who look after the cave now know the mine was worked out in the 1800's. Waltzes seemingly contradictory directions get all mixed up because some of them send you toward caches, not the mine. You want to find gold look for caches. I know & am related to some cave watchers but haven't been there in decades. No, I won't take you there, sell a map, give directions, etc. I did my Sup wandering decades ago when I was much younger. Now everyone can start flaming me...
