Tayopa:
G'morning Gold digger : First, let's go out into the patio for coffee, it is cooler out there.
You have an excellent point. There are no of Tayopa mines listed in Mexico. I am referring to the one made famous by F Dobie in Apache Gold & Yaqui Silver. The one that the Jesuits worked until the Indian uprising of approx 1630.

Hello Don Jose de La Mancha
Her is some thing that might be of some interest.
Henry O' Flipper did some extensive research into the mining camp Real of Our Lady of Tayopa. He allegedly found a Spanish document in 1911, dated 1646 titled "A true and positive description of the mining camp Real of Our Lady of Tayopa. By the Reverand Father Guardian Fray, Francisco Villegas Garsina y Orosco, Royal vicar General of the Royal and Distinguished Jesuit Order of Saint Ignacio. He gave a detailed inventory of mines and treasure.
Henry O' Flipper was unable to follow up on his research as he was transferred to South America.
in 1842 Indian hunters Captain James Hobbs and James Kirker claimed to have found an ancient abandoned village near the headwaters of the Yaqui river.
In 1927 C B Ruggles and the writer Frank Dobie was approched by a man called Custard that possesed documents copied from orginals belonging to Father Domingo, the parish priest of Guadalupe de Santa Ana.
The three allegely made a deal and searched for the ruins but was it seems unsuccessful. Later Dobie wrote of the story in a book. From there the story became more widely known.

Thank you for the interesting document.
It would be my pleasure..
Another interesting story is Ruggles allegely believed that Measa campanero was a altenative name for Sierra Obscura.. Ruggles and party spent several days searching for 2 small hills called Cerritos chapos and there was susposidly two Guerigo trees nearby. However in their search they found nothing. Had they mis interperated the directions?
However they did come across a Opata rancher called Perfecto Garcia who showed them a old parchment called " Conocimento de Tayopa"

Tayopa:
Good morning hard luck: Coffee?
The dos Ceros chapos data is correct. See attachments
The Mesa Campanero and the Sierro Obscuro are the same, West of Yecora.
Dobie never was at Tayopa.
The story of Ruggles and the blowing of the horn to locate Tayopa are correct, so is that of the grizzly, same area. South end of the Mesa Campanero

Hello Don Jose
That coffee is looking good [coffee]
An interesting point you made about Dobie not being with Ruggles. I always found the story Dobie told a little short in detail about Ruggles search. I could'nt understand why.
It is intertesting you mentioin that Flipper found a clue to the location of Tayopa?
On the 7th day of march stand on the summit of Cerro de la Campana, near the Villa de la Concepcion, and look at sun as it sets. It will be setting directly over Tayopa. Travel 8 days from the Cero de la campania towards the sunset of March 7th and you will come to Tayopa. Flipper I believe he discovered this statement on a document he found in Spain.
Hardluck
