But there are plenty of happenings" to indicate something is there or elsewhere. The Lost Dutchman Mine story goes back to the latter part of the 1800s, but its history is much longer back to early Spanish days and quite likely to the times when Apaches alone ruled the land. THE MODERN segment cf the legend got its start when a German Dutchman" named Jacob Walz (the spelling of his last name has about as many versions as the lost mine legend) roamed around Isas FOR s. in the rugged Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix, Arts. located The secret remains ed deep in the lock- soul-scarin- g lilyeurcdir?''.'- - s.1 ONLY MEXICO CITY 8 Days 7 Nights TAXCO ACAPULCO TOUR PRICE INCLUDES Departure from Salt Lake City Round-tri- p aboard American Airlines charter 707 Deluxe accommodations 12 meals Sightseeing in each city including the Pyramids of Teotihuacan and the Shrine of Guadalupe Baggage handling at Mexicos airports and all hotels Hotel gratuities included, plus taxes Phoenix looking for gold.

That gold was actually mined by Spaniards in the Superstitions is historic fact, and evidence of their work still remains.

Loaded with rich ore from their last expedition, they were attacked, the story goes, by avenging Apaches and all but two SUNS MORRIS travel PI , ft arizona's superstition mountains Superstitions In tSaess youths were massacred. The mine supposedly was then covered over by the Apaches who thought their sacred mountains had been violated. THEN FACTS and fiction start to mingle so its impossible today to determine which is which. Walz supposedly learned from the Mexicans the mines location. Some stories say and a he killed them batch of other people who but other got too near it versions dispute this. In fact, whether Walz killed to protect or get gold is still a much debatable point. Not debatable is that he periodically brought ore into town. Walz only said it was from his high-grad- e mine, though some claim he it from the Vulture Mine near Wic ken-bur- g (where he once worked) or stole it from other prospectors and used the mine story to cover" his high-grade- ft r-- ; has been caused by avaricious, competing prospectors and the harsh natural dements such as nigged terrain and high summer temperatures in an almost waterless area.
