Do the Stone Tablets lead to somewhere OTHER than the Superstition Mtns?

NP - thanks for your answer. Not to sound like a smart-butt, however there were WAYYYYYY many more people in that area than just Jim Bark. The whole Barkley family and all the folks who worked for him. All the men who worked for Bark during that time. All the folks involved in the search for Adolph Ruth, and the list goes on and on and on.

How do you explain the fact that not a single other reference than Bob Ward's book and your photo has come to light yet identifying a "mission" or even a structure like that in that specific area?

It will be interesting to talk to Clay Worst about it since he was all over the Superstitions and between he and Tom Kollenborn would have either known about, seen or heard about a mission in that area.

I know you think everyone is against you and conspiring to hide the information for some unknown reason, but I've seen no evidence of that myself - all I hear are a bunch of people using logic to try to understand how a structure like that can go virtually completely unnoticed (especially if it WAS a mission), in an area where there were many many people.

Paul,

I sent NP's picture to Tom, when he first posted it, along with the story. I just went back and reread his reply. This is what he wrote:

"I have heard stories about this so-called Jesuit mission for years supposedly located along the banks of Queen Creek. Oh yes, one of the church's bells was found in Queen Creek. The gold from this mission was removed by Robert L. Garman so claimed Bob Ward. Joe, it is all BS starting with the Ward cabin story."


That's good enough for me.

Take care,

Joe

If the tower in the mission picture is not a bell tower , could be a lookout tower or both .

Markmar - what you consider to be a "tower" in the image is not a part of the building structure, but rather an extension of the mountain range in the background.
 

I remember hearing about this rondevous awhile back. Are others able to show up? I'd like to hear some of this history first hand. Lived here for 43 years and haven't really even touched the surface of the Lost Dutchman. I heard that some people think that the mine was actually the Bulldog mine. The description of the veins were similar.
I never verified this, but also didn't know where to start.
I was thinking that the kids could actually learn something about the mountains and the history of the Lost Dutchman.

I agree with you , until that will prove the contrary . I am looking forward for a picture of this mountain side . Maybe after 27 October .

Looks like this post was just a "drive by."

No, my post was not a drive by. I wasn't subscribed to it. Yes, I've been there several times. Why do I feel as though this place might, in part, be one of Arizona's little secrets.... I almost feel guilty to disclose it. I need to read the rest of the posts. Maybe somebody already coughed it up.

You used the word house. Was that intentional? Will you share its location? If not, can you explain why? Perhaps it will help a few thinkers here on the TN. I cant get past the number of window openings on this structure. Seems excessive or perhaps it had a wealthy benefactor. Also, no structural wood to be seen... (excluding the windows)? How do roofing timbers decay without damaging the adobe structure? Thanks! Here is the image enlarged. Click to see full size. No question about the medium. It is a photo. <img src="http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=870663"/> and for comparison, an 85 year old color photograph. <img src="http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=870665"/>

Yes, it's a house. It's as real as can be. It has historical significance only because people are becoming more aware of their local history. If it wasn't for that, nobody would give a damn about it. I first visited the house about 10 years ago. I plan to go there again soon and will take new pics and/or video.
 

O,well its drive by #2, Im looking forward to seeing proof with a picture, do me a favor,when you take your photo it should be real easy to take an exact photo with the same background,im sure the mnt is there, or another thing that doesn't take a lot of effert that you can do,follow the directions on this thread,and go take a real picture, have a nice day.np:laughing7::laughing7::cat:

Glad you responded again Daugela, and good to hear your original post wasn't what I termed a "driveby" :). You're probably aware that in all things treasure hunting, there are controversies and quite often someone will hop into a thread and post something dramatic and potentially very enlightening, but fail to ever post enough information for anyone to really follow up on.

I'm not sure I understand why you can't simply share the location unless you're afraid folks will go to the location and damage the structure in some way, but if you're not willing to do that, it would be great if you could indeed post new photos of it from the same apparent photographer position so they can be compared easily.

Another alternative would be to pick one person who lives locally who posts regularly on this and other LDM threads and take that person along to see your site? If you should decide to do that, might I suggest you contact sgtfda, somero or roadrunner via PM?

Looking forward to seeing photos of your site.
 

I started this thread to share my theory about a different interpretation to the stone tablets. Specifically, that they are connected to the Spirit Mountain area. I've argued about the existence of the mission, provided a picture and given directions. Some of you will never be convinced and I doubt ever had open minds. No matter. I've answered questions and had many of my inquiries rudely ignored.

I've said my piece.

If you still think there's something to be found in the Superstition Mountains after all these years, lots of luck!

I'm done. Done with the Superstition Mountains and DONE HERE.

Adios Amigos and Happy Trails, sincerely, Not Peralta :cat::cat::cat:

But it appears the Lost Dutchman Mine never existed....
