Good morning all: Any comments on the events that lead up to Ruth coming to Arizona? I.E. the Gold discovery/strike by Ray Howland, Milton Rose, V.S. Irwin and E.M. Lynn in April 1931 in the area of Government Well? They declared that they had found the Lost Dutchman Mine and it made headlines for months. Cordially, Gregory E. Davis
Gregory,
Both Howland's and Knickerbocker's discoveries in the Superstitions were covered in the press in the months before Ruth arrived in Arizona. I believe I read something about Milton Rose also but cannot locate that particular article.
There is no doubt there was something very extraordinary going on in the months just before Adolph Ruth came to Arizona. The different discoveries undoubtedly were behind Ruth's trip. The discoveries and Ruth coming to Arizona was no coincidence.
