Mitchell was full of BS. So many people have tried to mine the old stone house site in the 30s it’s crazy. I met an old indian dude back there in 06 or 07, sat down with him at the bookstore at Frys in Copa. Guys name was Joe in his late 70s. He said he’d lived there all his life and knew many indians that brought gold out of that place, only problem was, he said all the stuff the Mexicans and Indians mined back in the day where on the east side of the mountain. Also told me that the original ranchers sons on the west side of that mountian built that stone house in the late 1800s or early 1900s. Also told me that when he was younger he went into a cave with his uncles that had fresh water in it, it was a real cave as well and not some little animal Den. Also told me of another cave behind the ape head on top of Montezumas on the south end. Been trying to get back in touch with this guy for a few years now not sure if he’s still alive.
