You got the Dobie part right.About 6-8 years ago, AZ Highways magazine ran an article that Bob Corbin had found the canyon and claimed staked the ground above the falls.Phelps Dodge Copper had the area below the falls.Fascinating story, only there was never a follow-up... very unusual considering the interest in "Lost Mines" in AZ. However, Corbin believes in the Lost Dutchman and that is suspect in itself.Adams could very well be real, but AZ in the 1860's drew gold miners into active Indian country.Also, the part about Dobie's man buying the guns and ammo, that would take about 130 lbs of gold nuggets.How much atttention do you think that would caused?I'm looking for that AZ Hwys article... I'll let you know... John Hughes
