Cool articles. I always enjoyed reading the articles on the various indian attacks. Same BS media tactics back then as we have today. Blow everything way out of proportion and sensationalize and dramatize. Any sane person could easily see that's what the LDM myths and legends were all about. Gotta sell those papers and dime store novels to all the gullible sheep somehow.

I went to this place Bisbee daily review. (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, October 11, 1913, Image 1 « Chronicling America « Library of Congress which appears to have complete issues and couldn't find what you show. Is the date correct or where do you get these from?

Wow Jeff!

What the heck is Horning for Gold?

Nice work!

Thanks Jeff for posting the articles, one thing I would point out is that there are several different lost Dutchman mines in Arizona not just the one in the Superstitions. The earliest one was in the Bradshaws, and the Dutchman in that case was named Henry Youngblood (from Missouri in fact) another LDM was in the Vulture mountains and this Dutchman was found dead near Vulture peak, so we know it is not the same as Waltz, and there is one other I won't mention. Anyway some of these are talking about those "other" Lost Dutchman mines not the now-famous one.

Nice work!

It is using a cow or buffalo horn as a sort of "mini gold pan" to pan small samples of dirt, using equally small amounts of water. Useful in prospecting dry country, and I carry a buffalo horn spoon myself for that same purpose.

You have a picture of one? I'm curious how a small cow horn could be used for this. Also it was told in one of these clips that they "Horned" inside a hard rock vein.

Here are my own horn spoons:
<I HOPE this works, still learning to use this IPhone>



I would take that statement about "horning" in a vein to mean they were crushing samples of the vein and mini-panning them on the spot.

PS for our readers, these horn spoons are also great for metal detecting, but not for eating anything hot like hot soup or chili. The hot food will make the horn melt or something that makes the food taste like burnt hair! <Hyuck!>

Well that explains it! And if that article is true and trusted this whole LDM thing was over and done with a century ago.


Very good of you as a moderator to bring the end of the legend to everyone's attention !!


How was that overlooked for so long?

LOL according to the news articles it's been over. every year
thru the first 2 Decades of the 20th century.

No wonder they call it the lost dutchman, it keeps getting lost again

next time it's found... paint a big red X there
and tie a Balloon on a long string to a nearby tree
