Is anyone interested in buying an "Amethyst Mine"

It is located on 20 acs., in East Central Az.

The mine is located in high country, silver and gold nearby, beautiful timber, lakes and abundant wildlife, etc.,  a few miles from the AZ/NM Border!

Another five acs., can be claimed for a "Millsite" (Shop/Cabin, etc.,)

Access with a regular pick up !!

Is this mine still available? If so how much? And could you please give me more info on this property? Patented or unpatented  land? BLM or USFS? Also pics would be nice.

I understand now what you want. As I said earlier there are ways around having to read every story and picking out the important words from the story. Let the computer do it for you. It works a lot faster. It will take a while to enter the data but you can cut the time it takes by about 70% from having to read every story yourself. Let the computer do the work.

Here is my email address.

What I need is:

Someone comes along and asks:

"In Northern Arizona, in 1886, two hunters found a strange Blue Rock "!

So!

Where do I look ?

1.. No. Ariz...Look under, The area concerned,  ( Found In, Ten magazines...  IE: Magazine's Name, Vol.#, Issue #, pg. # )

2..1886.. Look under, The Date,  (F.I., Ten Hundred Magazines)

3..Blue Rock.... Look under, Item Type;   Strange Occurances/rocks   (F.I., Two Magazines)

Etc.!

There is No Story...Therefore! There's No Copyright Infringement!

If you plan on selling it then you can't put the whole story in there. COPYRIGHT. There are faster ways to get the information. You can scan the story into the comeuter, then there is software that will grab what it thinks are the most important for and index. A person could weed oup the unimportant words from the list. and then import it to the database giving you a list of the most important words for each story. And the database would contain the words and tell you what magazine, book, and page number of the story. Then you would be able to got to the magazine, book and look it up. A person would not have to read each story and write down the important words and then enter them in the database cutting the time to do one story way down. There are ways to cut down work if you know what todo.

As a TH'er/prospector, I want to know the information myself!

In case I am in that/an area.....

I can bring up any stories/legends!

BUT! Who in the world!,    is going to have the TIME to read ! then, writeup! ,  all of these thousands of stories/legends onto the computer!

That is,

One of the reasons ! That I have NOT untaken this epic work!

I literally have stacks of mags, three feet high...still unpackaged...

Most of, The mags, when I got/get them,  were/are all bundled  up, &/or wrapped in plastic, in 12's (a years worth of issues)

OR!

As In, The  Hardback binders of 24 issues!

I figured out, from looking/reading just a few random issues,

Many of which are collector issues, being, Issue One Number One!

Anyway! There are 8-10 (minimum) stories in each issue...

These are,

The Featured stories, usually 5-8, then most of the mags have a "question & answer" section (more information on a site/story, etc.)!

That section, runs 3-5 more stories !

So!

Lets say, 10 stories per magazine/issue...!

AND!

That I have 1000 magazines !

That's 10,000! Stories to read and write up!

BUT!

There is  market for this,

Selling the/a disc, and, OR! Specific information!

North eastern part of Atlanta Georgia in a town called Lilburn.

The program you are describing is a simple database with advanced searching. The hardest part would be shoveling all the data into it. Are you thinking of putting the whole story into the database or just a cross reference to the magazine, page, book the article is in? The easiest way would be to put the whole story in the database and seach the whole story for the specified words I think also the quickest way to do it. If you want to cross reference the you have to read each story and pick out the words that you think somebody might search for and that would require a lot more time to do.

Mike:

Where are you located?

I'm down here on the Texas Gulf Coast!

I live out in the country, on a few acs., myself !

I have a project that I have been thinking about..

I have several thousand books, mags., etc..

on TH'ing !

I have been thinking about coming up with a program to categorize all of the information..

IE:

Name of persons involved, type of treasure, gold, silver, coins, ore, bars, etc..

Area of the legend/story.. the date,  a mine or a cache or robbery ... etc..

So!

That a person could check with an inquiry, typed in on the computer,  about a certain area, IE: Central AZ.

Or The name of a person ,

IE: Jacob Waltz

Result, would be: "The Dutchman", Central Az. , Lost Dutchman Mine, Superstition Mnts.,

I can do internet searching pretty good but I have not tried doing research like the kind you want. I just never had any real need to. I would be willing to try and see if I could do it. I am mostly into computer programming. I am working on special equipment to attach to my wheelchair right now that will allow me to do metal detecting from my chair. It's a bit hard to do working with only one hand, but I am getting it done. I hope to go metal detecting this summer. Maybe find a civil war bullet.

I am only as mobile as my wheelchair allows me. I do good just getting around our 3 acres. I generally spend most of my tim working at the computer.

Mike

Sorry To  hear!

I thought that you might be mobile!

ARE YOU !

Interested in Prospecting &/or Treasure Hunting?

If so, you can become involved by doing Research !

I spend as much time doing research as I do in the field!

I had a "researcher" who lived in Arizona, But! He's out of the business now!

He would do some research, on a story/legend and I would head out and check out the leads that he found!

I would take alot of photos of the search area, camp, signs/marking, etc & send them to him !

Almost like being there!

Wish I could but I'm in a wheelchair and I live in Alanta GA. No way to get there.

Lowrider:

I have been thinking about working the mine...

BUT! TOO NOT! Hard!

Just!

A few hours, or so, a week!

The mine is presently an open trench.

I am following a surface vein.

Think you could handle, a few hours of pretty easy work?

I usually, camp in a grove of trees just about 1/2 mile from the mine!

If the mine begins to pay off...

I am thinking of putting up a small building, (MillSite)

You could make a few dollars ...

The Gems that come out of the Mine, are "Museum Quality"!

They are on display in The School of Mines, Socorro, NM

And, U of A, Tucson !

If you're interested let me know!

Sounds like a lot of fun. To bad I got 2 strikes against me. No money and a cripple.

Have fun!

Mike
