1881 Az. Dam Break disaster

If you're talking about the flood that wiped out Wickenburg when the Walnut Grove Dam failed, it occurred in 1890, NOT 1881.

AND the safe has already been found.  The authors of the treasure tales either stopped reading the papers or they deliberately did not report the facts or they were relating 2nd, 3rd, and 4th hand information without bothering to verify the facts.

I'm sure they would find a way to make it apply
By the way....in all of the issues of the Prescott and Phoenix papers I read for the period of from a week before the flood until 2 months after the flood, only one safe was reported missing......and that safe was reported found a week to 10 days later in a small article tucked inside  the Phoenix paper.   Could more than one safe have gone missing?  I suppose so, but if so, I find it remarkable that it wasn't noted in any of the major papers of the region, especially since the sheriffs of two counties were actively riding and searching the area and were providing updates to the papers.
