I read a very interesting article one time years ago. I wish I could find it now, but maybe someone else that reads this can find it for us. It stated that Jocob Waltz, and Jacob Wiess may have been the same person. It was said that Jacob Waltz at one time worked at the Vulture Mine near Wickenburg. He was fired for highgrading ore from the mine. A few years later he hired back on as Jacob Wiess and did some more highgrading from the mine. He was a little more careful this time and lasted a little longer before he was caught and fired again. He barely escaped prosecution this time. He moved to Phoenix and made several trips into the mountains in that area and came back with gold ore each time. He gave the lady that ran the boarding house some of the gold before he died as she nursed him while he had pneumonia. The ore was assayed there in Phoenix and was said to be from the Vulture mine.
