He Talks about being taken to a pretty good size abandoned village,

Nemo glad to see you that was quite a file. You do good work. Do you still live in flagstaff. I got a story of a horse shoe 20 foot up in a tree

I spent quite a bit of time going through numerous files that were available to me back then. The library copied that file recently for me and I have noticed some things missing. One was a sketch map which was done by a student who visited the site for me and another is a newspaper article describing the death of an individual who used the same information. Do you know of anyone who has copies of this missing information?

There is quite a bit of information in the Gladwell Richard Collection at NAU. Look in the correspondence files for unique information. I am now living in Phoenix, hiding out from the FLDS, a whole story unto itself.

St. Jerome
There is a large scraper of pipestone on a ledge just above it with burn marks on it as if some offering was burnt on it. I think maybe it has to do with the hole I found. It seems the candles and the scraper are from the same time.

*********************

a) the old/and present Mexican Miner would place a picture of Mary just inside, or on a ledge near the portal of the mine and burn candles to her for help and safety .. Clarify on the Scraper ?

Re: Montezuma's Treasure and Arizona Strip region Newspaper

Moctezuma !
Yes!
As I have researched his story(s) I have come across both spellings!
As you know, It would be hard not to ! come across one or other of them!
I, just go with the generally, accepted, spelling and would use both if I were to get serious, & do more research on him!
It's A!

Actually, in Mexico, current spelling is Moctezuma, and there are people in my village of that surname. My wife's great-grandma was a Moctezuma, a descendant of Moctezuma I, not II. Moctezuma I sent one of his zillions of daughters to marry a local cacique, long enough before Cortes came to Mexico that her son grew up and became cacique, before Cortes came here. The Emperors were constantly sending daughters to marry local chiefs, and local chiefs sent daughters to marry Emperors.

It is commonly understood that in the US it is spelled Montezuma.

Church records here have a variety of spellings. Things like Mocteuczoma and other versions.
