My first search today was to the APACHE JUNCTION PUBLIC LIBRARY. The collected materials they have would be the best evidence of source materials. That is where history buffs go to begin their searches. Here is the first page I found. Quoting...
That is what this researcher wrote. I know more about the PERALTAS family than this guy. Just because someone jots his personal thoughts about whatever doesn't make it true.
Every SPANISH Mine has been marked. To survive hundreds of years. Unless someone messes with them they still exist.
Every Sign or Symbol (SS) has a specific almost universal meaning to the Spaniards. Every detail of the symbols are recorded and shipping documents. Including how the mine or cache was sealed. Every opening was sealed with CALICHE. Every mine has multiple death traps. Carefully coded on the shipping documents.
Every dangerous or flooded mine was sealed the same way. Spain expected every mine to revisited even a hundred years later. These were not people who leave open caves or pits. Unless they want to. Every obvious Treasure sign has a corresponding Death Trap. Carved in stone..
Example a certain symbol tells one to traverse along the right wall only. Left has danger. Meaning DEATH.
Chas. KENWORTHY has a few books about DEATH TRAPS to TREASURE plus others. hey are a plethora of how dangerous the Spanish traps are. The armchair researcher, like myself,takes those warnings to heart.
It was not uncommon for the Spanish to "hire" hundreds of local;s. To move or carve mountains. To carve mountaintops to specific shapes. Ans build the death traps. Recall the Indiana Jones adventures? Those were/are indeed Spanish Death Traps. Traps that either deadly or worse.. trap you underground in a stone vault forever. That someone foolishly stepped on something that triggered the trap.
Anyway IMHO you need to actually see the sites you are researching. Is that little turtle-like rock mean something? Those trail markers are important. To the Spanish returning to a mine. Could mean OK this is the way. Or as likely, on their map "when you see the second turtle sign, double back to the firs and go uphill". THAT is what the return maps detail. Death traps, Indians, bad water, bad air, YOU ARE BEING WATCHED FROM ABOVE, soldiers. Plus this trips Varas meaning. Days, nights, persons whatever.
Spanish signs are all over. Mines are all over. Mountain tops describe "you are here" now turn North. Without copies of Spanish shipping records, the closer you get to treasure, the closer to death. And that's a fact Jack!

There is not one shred of evidence to suggest the Peraltas ever mined in the Superstition Mountains or that they were massacred by the Apaches. Alfred Strong Lewis, in his manuscript, Rain God's Gold, theorized the Peraltas or Spaniards worked the rich goldfields four miles northeast of present day Apache Junction and were massacred by the Apaches as they were preparing to leave the area and return to Sonora in 1847. Lewis' scenario safeguarded Storm's unproven theory. Alfred Strong Lewis was a mining engineer who was totally convinced the Goldfields were the source of Jacob Waltz's bonanza gold ore. This theory continues to linger today unproven, but a logical choice.
