Sentence completion 1.61
1 You will hear a woman called Sally Hurst talking on the radio about the Superstition Mountain Range in the United States. For questions 1-10, complete the sentences.
'It's a bit hot there, though, isn't it?', some of my friends have asked. Well. it depends when you go. It's early spring now, of course, and that's fine. Winter and autumn are also OK, but I certainly wouldn't advise going there in summer whatever the reason for vour visit. Temperatures can reach tip to 45 degrees or more - and that's far too hot for me.
The main reason I went there was to research some of the legends and mysteries of the area for a forthcoming radio documentary. The very origin of the name, Superstition Mountains is itself a bit of a mystery. One theory says they were given their name by sixteenth-century Spanish settlers, some of whom inexplicably vanished when they went exploring there. But the more likely explanation is that it came about in the nineteenth century, when it was discovered that the locai Pima Indians were frightened of the mountains. Farmers in the area attributed this fear to superstition, and they decided to give that name first to one mountain, and then the whole range.
Perhaps the most talked-about mystery in the area is that of the so-called Lost Dutchman's Mine, which is supposedly somewhere in the Superstition Mountains. Far from being Dutch, the owner of the gold mine in question, Jacob Waltz, was actuallv German, or Deutsch in his native language. Waltz arrived in the United States in November 1839, and spent virtually all his life there prospecting for gold, firstly in North Carolina, then Georgia, California and finally Arizona. When he passed away in October 1891 he took the secret of his mine with him to his grave.
You see, apparently Waltz had found what was believed by some to be the richest gold mine in the world. But he didn't tell anyone where it was, and it's a mystery which remains unsolved to this day. According to one estimate in 1977, up to eight thousand people a year tried to locate the mine. And even today. despite the ban on mineral prospecting in 1983, many people still head for the region to see if they can find it.
Waltz left a few clues, but they weren't particularly helpful. In one of them, for example,he says, 'The rays of the setting sun shine into the entrance of my mine', but that could be just about anywhere.
I did a lot of rnv research for the documentary in a museum: The Superstition· Mountain Museum. It's full of information on the Lost Dutchman's Mine, including a whole collection of maps which are thought to show its location - not that that's been of any use to anyone! So far, anyway.
And I saw another exhibit on the mine in a museum in nearby Goldfield. Now Goldfield was a prosperous mining town at the end of the nineteenth century, but when the gold ran out, everyone left and now it's a ghost town. It's become a popular tourist attraction as well, of course, with museums, rides and shows, but it's still quite impressive, nevertheless.
Now you may have seen a film that was made in 1949 about the Lost Dutchman's Mine entitled Lust for Gold, starring Glenn Ford in the role of Jacob Waltz. But here's another piece of trivia for you: in 1960, actor Walter Brennan recorded a song on the subject called Dutchman's Gold. Now I bet you didn't know that, did you? ·
Well you do now, and we're going to play it to you right after the news. To be honest, Walter Brennan talks his way through it rather than ...
