Phone 77 Main Street searchers tor Lost Mine Meet Tragic Deaths Many Mysteriously Perish In Trying to Discover Fabulous Treasure. APACHE JUNCTION, ARIZ. "Here lie the remnants of Snow bird the Dutchman, who in this mountain shot three men to steal a rich gold mine Irom Spanish pio neers, killed eight more to hold his treasure, then himself did die with out revealing its location." So reads a tablet on a monument to Jacob Walz, erected here by the Phoenix Dons club, an organization to perpetuate the lore of the South west says the Associated Press. Recently 2,100 tourists from 27 states drove the 50 miles from Phoenix to Superstition mountain for an annual Lost Dutchman trek. Dozens of searchers have met mysterious death in the canyons there. Yet the ore lies unrevealed. "Beware lest you, too, succumb to the lure of the Lost Dutchman," the marker warns. Spends Life at It. Best local authority on the Lost Dutchman, is "Brownie" Holmes, middle-aged cowboy who has spent hall his life seeking the treasure. He will show you specimens of wire gold, cuff links and a scarf pin of wire gold imbedded in quartz all actually taken from the lost mine, he swears. "When Walz was dying," Holmes says, "he called my father in and said, 'Look under the bed.' My dad pulled out a small box and the Dutchman gave it to him. It had $4,000 worth of ore in it. "Old Walz didn't want strangers around," Brownie explains. "Once my dad tried to follow Walz to the mine. Next day or so Walz saw him In Phoenix and said: " 'You are a friend of mine, but don't you never try to follow me again or I'll hafta shoot you like I shot them others." Ia Sore Subject. Brownie still remembers the verbal directions his father received from the dying prospector. After 20 years. Brownie has narrowed his search to a two-mile radius of Weavers Needle, a stone spire land mark. The land is public domain, says Tom Fitzwater, Dons president, and under federal law a prospector can still stake a claim. But the Lost Dutchman mine Is a sore subject with sheriff's depu ties at nearby Florence. "Every year there's three or four smart Easterners come out here and get lost in the Superstition look ing for that mine and we have to quit work for a week and go get 'em out sometimes In a hearse."
