**Still possible** Answers **1** questionPublished0

## Where it stands

**Still possible** Its tests haven't settled it: two pieces of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Any genuine Waltz ore matches the quartz-vein signature of one of those districts.
- Waltz's descriptions fit Goldfield ground (the Bulldog) rather than the interior.

## What would rule it out

- Provenanced Waltz ore matches none of the nearby districts.

Most likelyThere was no mine; an old man's deathbed talk, perhaps with a small cache, grew into a composite legend
