By: Ross Metals The Superstition Mountains are located off historic Route 88, or the Apache Trail, in Arizona. The drive takes you past the old ghost town of Gold Field before you reach the Superstition Mountains in Lost Dutchman’s State Park. Obviously, the story of the buried treasure is no secret, but still it hasn’t been found yet. Who was this Dutchman and what is the story that goes with him? To find that out, we have to go back a few centuries before him to the 1500s when the Spaniards were conquering the new world. In one particular location, Spanish Jesuit Priests were said to be finding their fortunes in Apache territory, which is largely the area of present day New Mexico and Arizona. In the Superstition Mountains, these priests had laid a claim to more riches, primarily gold, than anyone could have ever imagined. They sent some of their spoils back to the King of Spain. Shortly thereafter, the king ordered the Jesuits to return immediately because of a falling out with the leaders of Mexico. The trouble with the immediate departure of these Jesuit priests was that they had too much treasure in the mountains to load on their ships. So through intimidation, the Apache Indians were placed as guardians to the mines. True to their word, the Apaches remained vigilant as the guardians of the Spaniards’ fortunes, and this tradition was handed down from generation to generation. Neither the priests nor any other representative of Spain ever returned to collect their claim for reasons unknown. Around 1892, a German Immigrant by the name of Jacob Waltz was mining in these very same mountains. He was, as the inarticulate American slang coined him, The Dutchman (rather than Deutschman). Waltz discovered what was probably the claim of the Spanish Jesuit Priests who had never returned. Before Waltz ever made it down the mountain, Apache Indians who were acting as “the guardians of the mountains” attacked him. The dying Waltz spent his last moments with a doctor and before he died, he told the doctor of gold and the approximation of its location. Its been lying there ever since. Do the Apache still know of its location? It’s very likely but it’s taboo for them to speak of it. Does Angel J. Ross know where the treasure is buried? We don’t think so but we do know that Ross Metals could be a good final resting place for the gold if it’s ever discovered.
