Michael C. Goldengate and Suzy-Cue take off with the baby on a California Quest unlike any other -- to find the location of the semi-annual SYM-FONIC gathering!!
Guided only by the mysterious 4-sheet composite "Map of California & Part of Nevada" -- evidently part of the CGS or USGS surveys ca , 1872, but with topographical touches by the untouchable VITUS WACKENREUDER (cartographical mastermind of the American west) -- the family wends its way out of San Francisco, and races towards Marysville!!
But will they reach SYM-FONIC alive? Can YOU interpret Wackenreuder's masterpiece accurately, in order to identify the SECRET location of the 2013 SYM-FONIC, and arrive in time to meet the SYM-FONIC experts assembled in the flesh? This issue has it all: including a handy TIP-SHEET, summarizing some of the methods you should have learned from your BACK ISSUES of SYM-Zonia !! Hope you saved your back issues !!
As we learned in the Last Issue of YANKEE SCOUT – Fredericksburg!! – the Union Army is now reeling with the implications of a military,strategic and moral catastrophe precipitated by growing awareness of the grim news, of it’s unprecedented battlefield losses incurred before Fredericksburg, Virginia, on December 12, 1862 – a scene of carnage that was already being dubbed “the Slaughter Pen” by the men, even as it was occurring.
United States Army forces commanded by Gen. Ambrose Burnside, saw a staggering level of losses: Pvt. Drew will peg
the Yankee killed under Gen. Burnside at 12,172 -- men uselessly sacrificed at the Battle of Fredericksburg: for not a single square inch of rebel-held territory has been taken, and Burnside has finally been forced to retreat again, north across the Rappahannock.
Meanwhile, the loss to Gen. Lee’s rebel Army of Virginia Drew reckons on the order of 5, 377. Up to this point in the Civil War, only casualties on the battlefield at Antietam, the preceding September, can compare with these new numbers of Yankee lives extinguished. Gen. Burnside, too, has seen better days. After removing Gen. McClellan (again) President Lincoln
had offered Burnside command of the Army of the Potomac in
recognition of his signal victories at Roanoke Island and New Bern, early in the war. …
Now however, after Fredericksburg, the winds of destiny seem to have shifted against Gen. Burnside ….
The ignominy now to be achieved through his pointless "MUD CAMPAIGN" will now finish his command of the Army of the Potomac, and President Lincoln will hand the Army to Hooker, placing GEN. JOHN SEDGWICK in command of the 6th Corps.
What engagement of the Civil War was so resoundingly successful for the Army of the Potomac, that it sent the Confederates on a 50-mile retreat back to Richmond ? Col. Seidule's "Official West Point History of the Civil War" doesn't even mention the Battle of Williasmburg, much less that Gen. Hancock's brilliant penetration of Rebel defensive lines at Fort Magruder, and his surreptitious occupation of a series of redoubts behind the lines, enabled him to take Gen Early's Army totally by surprise, and ROUT them Rebs, sending them on a midnight retreat, and earning Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock the nickname "the Superb."

This document provides a lengthy summary of how William M. Eddy's 1849 official survey map of San Francisco ended up being filed in Oregon City, Oregon. It details that Eddy surveyed San Francisco in 1849 and produced an official map, but that the original map was incorporated into a 1850 federal report and filed for the public record in Oregon City. The document explores Eddy's background and work as the official surveyor of San Francisco, and discusses other related maps and surveys of the area from that time period. It also references the testimony of Milo Hoadley, who assisted Eddy, regarding details of the original San Francisco waterline.

SYM-Zonia -- DOUBLECROSS !! -- by Michael C. GoldengateRoch Steinbach
This document is a newsletter that discusses several topics:
1. It continues investigating a map by Lt. Williamson that was revealed last issue to contain a hidden "X" marking a spot. The newsletter discusses rotating a portion of the map to align it with true north.
2. It describes an attack on the newsletter's offices by "Wringwraiths" but says the editor was able to defeat them.
3. It discusses missing maps from a report about Oregon harbors that staffers were unable to locate at the Library of Congress.
When the good ship DESDEMONA ran aground on the Middle Sands of the Columbia River, off shore of ASTORIA, it was apparently an accident attributable to fog... The SHIPWRECK left behind soon imparted a new name to the middle Sands d-- the DESDEMONA SANDS. But was it an accident? Upon closer examination the Captain's logbook reveals some very curious writing... of the nature of a CYPHER! Can you crack the code of the LAST LOG OF THE DESDEMONA?

HERE IT IS !!!! PART 3 OF THREE FROM SYM-ZONIA'S SUMMER OF SYM.-ERGY ~~~ (2014) with it's original BONUS COVER !!!
YES, it's a fact: THE PYRAMID LAKE INDIAN RESERVATION as it turned out, is shaped just like the outline of a KEY!!! making it beyond any doubt the TRUE KEY of the TRUCKEE RIVER... But we all know there's little sense in having a TRUE KEY until you can also match it to its TRUE LOCK !! So JOIN Native American UNK-KNOWN, Stephanie Beckon, Randy Kajtushka and the regular cast of experts, along w/ COL. JOHN CHARLES FREMONT, as they do what they can to assist Rupert Roget (Ret) former surveyor of Coon County, Oregon, to locate the TRUE LOCK that can UNLOCK your SUMMER OF SYM-ERGY !!!
BACK IN THE DAYS when Americans were a fundamentally sea-faring people, who had sailed across an ocean to settle along a seaboard, and gradually advanced their civilization INLAND along navigable waterways, it was well understood that ocean-going vessels should have for their safety and that of their crew, someplace accessible in a storm or a hurricane, that could serve as a shelter w/in which to wait out the worst of the inclement weather -- and such a place was commonly known among mariners as a HARBOR OF REFUGE indispensable to the welfare of oceangoing commerce.
SUCH SAFE HAVENS are little comprehended by the U.S. public now, either as relics of our commercial past, or as current requirements for the protection of ocean trade....
THEREFORE take a look at this archived issue of SYM-ZONIA -- PORT AUTORITY and find out what was once taken for granted, and maybe learn what the CHINESE are really doing on the Spratley Islands: that's right, they're creating a search and rescue base and a HARBOR OF REFUGE.

Sometimes you're HOT.. and you can just feel it. In this issue Michael C. Goldengate takes on "THE SYSTEM" embodied by the NSA search-engine and panopticon spy apparatus GARGLE -- and WINS! How did he do it? The answer, simply was that he really WAS "feeling lucky" and so clicked on the "FEELING LUCKY" button under the GARGLE data-entry field... But what PRECISELY was he searching for? The answer of course, is that Goldengate was researching the background of a unique, ancient, and very mysterious G.L.O. (General Land Office ) survey map titled Township 25 North Range 2 West, Willamette Meridian -- or T 25 N R 2 W, WM for short -- when he struck on this novel idea of simply rolling the dice... because he was indeed "FEELING LUCKY" !!! Find out what Goldengate discovers!! Is the T 25 N R 2 W WM map really the work of Charles S. Frailey, Chief clerk at the G.L.O. and Edgar Allen Poe's cipher-crunching interlocutor? Frailley was known to his Masonic associates as the "G.L.O.-Worm."
WITH THE OROVILLE DAM emergency spillway threatening to give way releasing a deluge and possibly Feather River downstream into a literal SHIT RIVER threatening MARYSVILLE and YUBA CITY and numerous other tranquil settlements downriver, its may be worth recalling that the denizen of MARYSILLE were once obliged to adventure into the remotest and most inaccessible regions of the Pacific coast to find SHIT RIVER itself, which was then merely mythologicial....
SYM-Zonia -- SPELLCHECK by Michael GoldengateRoch Steinbach
Michel C. Goldengate's long-awaited Family-friendly edition of papers and logs of the 1851 Shi"x" Exploring Expedition is still in preparation. Until that work of advanced scholarship is completed and released, there remains a unique back- issue of SYM-Zonia -- SPELLCHECK, which includes the ONLY existing historical account of the first recorded appearance of young Vitus Wackenreuder, working as a surveyor in Marysville, California, in 1851. the SPELLCHECK issue offers to Players Mr. Goldengate's unique & ORIGINAL VISION of a lost expedition into the savage interior of Southern Oregon -- an area still almost impenetrable today -- to find the headwaters of the "Shix River" -- a river now known as the "Sixes RIver".. This issue hints at the Pathfinder's last grab at Exploratory laurels, on a journey undertaken by a dejected Col. John Charles Fremont, accompanied by the peerless Marysville surveyor Vitus Wackenreuder. By Goldengate's count, this expedition, was to become known as Fremont's 5th and 1/2 Expedition.
Fremont prevailed upon the comparatively unknown young Wackenrueder to accompany him: Wackenreuder had only recently reached Marysville, Ca., and had bought his theodollte and tripod from the Post Office proprietor, and set up shop as a surveyor. And so they formed a team, and debarked for Port Orford, Oregon, with the blessing of San Francisco Custom's Inspector Thomas Butler King. The rest is almost history ...
In an age of utter deception, in which even the nation's most formidable military threat, is supported by elements in the United States Executive administration, it's important to understand that the early American patriots knew a thing or two about FALSE FLAGS too. In this rare, and hard-to-obtain CLASSIC issue of SYM-Zonia, Goldengate presents the evidence that James Fenimore Cooper was not just an inkhorn "auteur" with a flair for brilliant naval adventure-stories, but that he was an enlisted U.S. Naval cadet -- a midshipman, or "middy' for short -- who served under Capt. Lawrence aboard the U.S. S. Hornet during the war of 1812 !! You'll think otherwise until you see our evidence. What does it mean that America's first and greatest novelist had covered up his Naval service?
Plus an indispensable review of the life and times of Phillip Freneau, details on the Port Orford Pole Shift. AND the Langlois Ledger covers the Poetry Slam at the Whale-of-a-Tale café, in which Stephanie Beckon reads Eberhart's epic introduced in the STONE IDOL issue !!!
In this era of material deception -- in which even the nation's most formidable military threat, is supported by elements within in the United States Executive administration - it's moralizing to understand that our early American patriots also knew a thing or two about FALSE FLAGS themselves – that we can use to turn the tables on the foe. In this rare, and hard-to-obtain CLASSIC issue of SYM-Zonia, Goldengate presents the evidence that James Fenimore Cooper was not just a closeted or inkhorn "auteur" of brilliant naval adventure-stories, but that he was indeed hard-core navy: an enlisted U.S. Naval cadet -- a midshipman, or "middy' for short -- who served under Capt. Lawrence aboard the U.S. S. Hornet during the war of 1812 !! Let your mind run with the herd – OR read this FLASE FLAG issue, and consider our evidences. What does it mean that America's first and greatest novelist was a covert operative in the United States Navy? How does once cover up his Naval service – without help from within?
Plus an indispensable review of the life and times of Phillip Freneau, details on the Port Orford Pole Shift. AND the Langlois Ledger covers the Poetry Slam at the Whale-of-a-Tale café, in which Stephanie Beckon reads Eberhart's epic introduced in the STONE IDOL issue !!!
PRESENTING THE ORIGINAL PYM PUZZLER in which was first posed the question PURPORTEDLY answered in the MATCH OF THE MILLENNIUM issue, as to whether the mysterious Western masterpiece "THE TRAPPER'S LAST SHOT'" is actually the artwork of WILLIAM TYLEE RANNEY as is conventionally and even universally accepted, or in fact does not -- as if FAR MORE LIKELY -- represent the work of a completely DIFFERENT WESTERN ARTIST, and one at east as good as RANNEY, maybe better, and who was a friend of JOE MEEK, whom all reasonable minds must agree, is actually represented in the painting , as he makes his lonesome transcontinental journey through MONTANA, and the headwaters of the Missouri River, ON HIS WAY TO WASHINGTON CITY, D.c., to beg for Federal aid for teh American settlers in Oregon !!
Following immediately on the heels of the "sleeper" SEQUESTERED Issue from Last Week,, this SHORT-SHEETED issue was the Big Kahuna of 2013 ! Never before and never since has the United States Navy suffered a mutiny on one of its ships, much less on a TRAINING VESSEL!!! The Somers Mutiny Affiair stands alone in the annals of U.S history as the darkest day ever for naval discipline. But was the sentence meted out to midshipman Philip Spencer et al, a just one? The truth of the matter is, that his "Sheet anchor of Greek Code" hbas been misunderstood as a simplistic transliteration of English into Greek .. but on this LEVIATHAN of a Puzzler, Goldengate takes the laurels as he lays out the case for 'A CODE WITHIN THE CODE" !!!!
HERE IT IS -- PERHAPS THE APEX of internet-based online historical puzzling, the classic CAUGHT ON TYPE !! issue of the PYM PUZZLER, edited by A.P. Dromgoole. This timeless issue craftily discloses, almost for the first time, the true but hidden history of the California Gold Rush, which opened not in 1849 with an exodus of New Englanders from the EAST Coast, but INSTEAD in August, 18848, with an exodus of OREGONIANS from the PACIFIC coast, -- from the Willamette Valley, in particular, heading south to California. The story begins when a strange single-masted vessel moors along the waterfront in Oregon City, just below the Falls, and begins buying up all the supplies in town !!! Why? SOON ENOUGH word leaks out of the gold strikes in the Sacramento valley, and before long wagon-trains are forming up locally, and men are leaving behind their well-tended fields and crops,their homesteads, and even their wives and children, for a long-shot chance to STRIKE IT RICH !! Amongst these men are some significant figures, who will soon make their mark on California history -- most notably the Honorable "P.' who makes a point of soliciting into his company, one young man, Charlie Putnam: the unknown, nondescript typesetter for the only newspaper being published on the Tualatin Plains in 1848 !! But just who was "The Honorable P" and why did he want to bring Charley along, of all people in the valley? Luckily some of their conversation was CAUGHT ON TYPE !! So perhaps you can find out, in why .... Only in PM PUZZLER -- CAUGHT ON TYPE !!
- P, the editor of the puzzler, has gone missing after going to get coffee for over a week. An anonymous ransom note was found on his desk demanding money and a map from the General Land Office survey.
- This puzzles the writer as it seems P's kidnapping mirrors what happened earlier in the year to contributor Edmund Elmendorf.
- The kidnappers seem interested in a historic Oregon map from the GLO survey that was discussed in Elmendorf's previous articles, which theorized the map contained secret codes related to the Freemasons.
ROGUE RIVER VALLEY WINES now enjoy a reputation for excellence, being well-received and served in establishments of hospitality, well, almost worldwide. Wines of the Jump-Off Joe Wining District are especially sought-after, by those in-the-know. But the earlier history of this Southern Oregon wine-growing region, and some of its pre-eminent Pioneer Wines, are not so well known. This vintage matured in 1894!
NOTE: The images shown in this story, are from R.E. Ivans, M.E., C.E., unique manuscript Map of the Placer Mining Properties .. on Jump Off Joe Creek (1898). This map could be copyrighted !!! – and we don’t mess with legitimate copyrights. See, e.g., How Do You Explain the Shipwrack of David Fasold’s Noah’s Ark? [Last week – Ed.] so we’re only going to show a miniature, and a few bits and pieces – just to be honorable. Players!!! Rest assured: this has nothing to do with withholding the true location of the real Bummer Gulch and Henry Wine’s claim. Or his hidden cache ….. Because – who would guess that they switched the names around, on later maps !!!! Meanwhile, most of the events related in this story took place up Jump-Off Joe, about 4-5 years before this humdinger of a map was made.
But the story began earlier... much, much earlier ….and, in digging into the lodes in the neighborhood of Jump-Off-Joe Creek, you'll learn the answer to The age-old question "WHY DO THEY CALL IT BUMMER GULCH?"
YES.. this is indeed the very FIRST issue oF SYM-ZOnia !!

SYM-Zonia -- KIDNAPPED !! by Michael C. GoldengateRoch Steinbach
On the waterfront of pioneer Astoria, law and order could be up to just one man -- in this case, Gen John Adair the first Post Office and Customs House officer charged with regulating traffic on a river that was FOUR MILES WIDE at the narrows!! In such circumstances, it helped that there was a detachment of U.S. Army regulars at the fort -- but even THEY weren't force enough to reckon with the likes of Capt. William Tichenor, in command of the schooner Emily Farnham!! Capt. Tichenor's response to law enforcement was simply to KIDNAP the army officers and sail away with them out into the ocean. NOW WHAT, SOLDIER??? Find out in "Incient on the Emily Farnham" -- Special Thanks to "Stephanie Beckon".
RECENT RUMORS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE will fall with welcome on the ears of Oregon's "agricultural" community (U.S. Department of Forestry is in the USDA !!) throughout the state, especially in Southern Oregon'd mostly mountainous counties like Jackson, Josephine, Coos, Curry and Douglas, where, along with mining, logging has always been the economic bedrock that kept county services viable.
AT SYM-ZONIA, we the remnant followers of Michael C. Goldengate (ska "Stargate") and Stephanie Beckon herself, which to commemorate the occasion of the possible pending return of protectionism for domestic manufactures and serious industry, with the re-release of this stupendous "DRAIN" issue, and its discussion of the extraordinary history of BOHEMIA COUNTY, Oregon which had its proposed county seat in the town of DRAIN, itself -- with a key contribution form Ass Dr. Beckon herself, addressing teh question of whether Drain, Oregon isn't in fact the location of the REAL Oregon Vortex.
NOTE: THIS ISSUE IS IN FOLLOWUP to the August 19, 2012 "WATERSHED MOMENT" ISSUE, which will appear later.
Companion issue to the all-time classic SYM-Zonia-- BIRTHER. In this POSTER CHILD issue the strange & magical portrait of LADY LIBERTY is delivered of another IDEA -- you could call it a sort of TWIN concept to the Riddle of Rational Phi. But like Esau and Jacob, these two ideas struggle for dominance, and the latter takes hold of the former's heel: though this Second TWIN Idea is born later, it will surpass its brother in strength! And be known throughout he civilized world as a great leader!! Find out how !!
And here's a hint; Andrew Wiles' supposed proof of Fermat's Last Theorem suffered from a few of its own birth defects. These are known well-enough. Congenital defects you might call them -- unlike our TWIN IDEAS. In addition, although Fermat had suggested that his (lost) proof would be short enough to approximate "the margins of this book," Wiles' proof was hundreds of pages long -- even after it was "corrected." Wiles' work also depended heavily on developments in the field of mathematics that were unknown during Fermat's lifetime: so how would Wile's efforts correspond to Fermat's actual proof? Remotely. But did the mathematical community complain or challenge or even doubt the result?
Now, in SYM-Zonia POSTER CHILD, Michael Goldengate delivers the goods: Riddle's Last Digit Theorem (from 1996) provides a simple, foolproof demonstration of Fermat's Last Theorem, using simple algebra and multiplication, over the course of about three pages of work. Riddle takes Fermat's shortcut, by proving his theorem to be true for only the FINAL DIGITS of any number. And guess what? Every number has a final digit .....gosh. Think of the implications ....
Now what, Sir Andrew?

On or about February 7, 2014, the U.S. State Department, under the leadership of Secretary of State John Forbes
Kerry, in the person of U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Rene Psaki, acknowledged, authenticated and
adopted the Nuland-Pyatt cell-phone conversation, offered as People’s Exhibit “A”. A partial but otherwise true and
correct excerpt from Spokeswoman Psaki’s press conference is linked ABOVE as People’s Exhibit “B.”
Conclusive evidence relative to the preparation of an illegal coup being formulated in the United States Department of
State, directed against the legitimate and duly elected democratic government of President Victor Yanuakovich and his
Party of Regents-dominated parliament, appears in the Exhibit “A” taped in cell-phone conversation of Assistant
Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, with U.S. Ambassador to the Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt. As also seen in
Exhibit “A”, these two parties discussed at some length, which puppet-minister the U.S. State Dept. should immediately
install as President of Ukraine, after the evidently-contemplated ouster of the democratically elected Ukrainian
President Yanukovich. Nuland referred to the various puppet-candidates in her slate, by their nick-names, or perhaps
pet names she had adopted for them, suggesting their proximity and familiarity to her, and the Obama Administration,
as power-brokers in what we would see as the new Neo-Nazi Svoboda government. At the close of the cell phone
conversation, Nuland indicated that someone by the name of “BIDEN” was also involved in the prepartions for this
coup, and that “Biden was willing.”
In acknowledging, authenticating and adopting the Nuland-Pyatt cell-phone conversation, per Exhibit “B”, while not
repudiating the contents of the conversation, nor moving to quell the international scandal and this foreseeable
crisis -- etiher at that time of the release, or at any time thereafter over the intervening ten weeks up to and including
the very moment of this impending crisis -- the United States Department of State of the Administration of President
Barrack Obama either impliedly adopted the criminal acts therein disclosed as in preparation, or else admitted by
its silence, its direct role in plotting the overthrow of the sitting head of a foreign sovereign State, as in fact later
occurred: leading directly to a foreseeable military confrontation with Russia, and to this global crisis.

YES, it's a fact: THE PYRAMID LAKE INDIAN RESERVATION as it turned out, is shaped just like the outline of a KEY!!! making it beyond any doubt the TRUE KEY of the TRUCKEE RIVER... But we all know there's little sense in having a TRUE KEY until you can also match it to its TRUE LOCK !!

BACK IN THE DAYS when Americans were a fundamentally sea-faring people, who had sailed across an ocean to settle along a seaboard, and gradually advanced their civilization INLAND along navigable waterways, it was well understood that ocean-going vessels should have for their safety and that of their crew, someplace accessible in a storm or a hurricane, that could serve as a shelter w/in which to wait out the worst of the inclement weather -- and such a place was commonly known among mariners as a HARBOR OF REFUGE indispensable to the welfare of oceangoing commerce.
SUCH SAFE HAVENS are little comprehended by the U.S. public now, either as relics of our commercial past, or as current requirements for the protection of ocean trade....
THEREFORE take a look at this archived issue of SYM-ZONIA -- PORT AUTORITY and find out what was once taken for granted, and maybe learn what the CHINESE are really doing on the Spratley Islands: that's right, they're creating a search and rescue base and a HARBOR OF REFUGE.

Sometimes you're HOT.. and you can just feel it. In this issue Michael C. Goldengate takes on "THE SYSTEM" embodied by the NSA search-engine and panopticon spy apparatus GARGLE -- and WINS! How did he do it? The answer, simply was that he really WAS "feeling lucky" and so clicked on the "FEELING LUCKY" button under the GARGLE data-entry field... But what PRECISELY was he searching for? The answer of course, is that Goldengate was researching the background of a unique, ancient, and very mysterious G.L.O. (General Land Office ) survey map titled Township 25 North Range 2 West, Willamette Meridian -- or T 25 N R 2 W, WM for short -- when he struck on this novel idea of simply rolling the dice... because he was indeed "FEELING LUCKY" !!! Find out what Goldengate discovers!! Is the T 25 N R 2 W WM map really the work of Charles S. Frailey, Chief clerk at the G.L.O. and Edgar Allen Poe's cipher-crunching interlocutor? Frailley was known to his Masonic associates as the "G.L.O.-Worm."
WITH THE OROVILLE DAM emergency spillway threatening to give way releasing a deluge and possibly Feather River downstream into a literal SHIT RIVER threatening MARYSVILLE and YUBA CITY and numerous other tranquil settlements downriver, its may be worth recalling that the denizen of MARYSILLE were once obliged to adventure into the remotest and most inaccessible regions of the Pacific coast to find SHIT RIVER itself, which was then merely mythologicial....
SYM-Zonia -- SPELLCHECK by Michael GoldengateRoch Steinbach
Michel C. Goldengate's long-awaited Family-friendly edition of papers and logs of the 1851 Shi"x" Exploring Expedition is still in preparation. Until that work of advanced scholarship is completed and released, there remains a unique back- issue of SYM-Zonia -- SPELLCHECK, which includes the ONLY existing historical account of the first recorded appearance of young Vitus Wackenreuder, working as a surveyor in Marysville, California, in 1851. the SPELLCHECK issue offers to Players Mr. Goldengate's unique & ORIGINAL VISION of a lost expedition into the savage interior of Southern Oregon -- an area still almost impenetrable today -- to find the headwaters of the "Shix River" -- a river now known as the "Sixes RIver".. This issue hints at the Pathfinder's last grab at Exploratory laurels, on a journey undertaken by a dejected Col. John Charles Fremont, accompanied by the peerless Marysville surveyor Vitus Wackenreuder. By Goldengate's count, this expedition, was to become known as Fremont's 5th and 1/2 Expedition.
Fremont prevailed upon the comparatively unknown young Wackenrueder to accompany him: Wackenreuder had only recently reached Marysville, Ca., and had bought his theodollte and tripod from the Post Office proprietor, and set up shop as a surveyor. And so they formed a team, and debarked for Port Orford, Oregon, with the blessing of San Francisco Custom's Inspector Thomas Butler King. The rest is almost history ...
In an age of utter deception, in which even the nation's most formidable military threat, is supported by elements in the United States Executive administration, it's important to understand that the early American patriots knew a thing or two about FALSE FLAGS too. In this rare, and hard-to-obtain CLASSIC issue of SYM-Zonia, Goldengate presents the evidence that James Fenimore Cooper was not just an inkhorn "auteur" with a flair for brilliant naval adventure-stories, but that he was an enlisted U.S. Naval cadet -- a midshipman, or "middy' for short -- who served under Capt. Lawrence aboard the U.S. S. Hornet during the war of 1812 !! You'll think otherwise until you see our evidence. What does it mean that America's first and greatest novelist had covered up his Naval service?
Plus an indispensable review of the life and times of Phillip Freneau, details on the Port Orford Pole Shift. AND the Langlois Ledger covers the Poetry Slam at the Whale-of-a-Tale café, in which Stephanie Beckon reads Eberhart's epic introduced in the STONE IDOL issue !!!
In this era of material deception -- in which even the nation's most formidable military threat, is supported by elements within in the United States Executive administration - it's moralizing to understand that our early American patriots also knew a thing or two about FALSE FLAGS themselves – that we can use to turn the tables on the foe. In this rare, and hard-to-obtain CLASSIC issue of SYM-Zonia, Goldengate presents the evidence that James Fenimore Cooper was not just a closeted or inkhorn "auteur" of brilliant naval adventure-stories, but that he was indeed hard-core navy: an enlisted U.S. Naval cadet -- a midshipman, or "middy' for short -- who served under Capt. Lawrence aboard the U.S. S. Hornet during the war of 1812 !! Let your mind run with the herd – OR read this FLASE FLAG issue, and consider our evidences. What does it mean that America's first and greatest novelist was a covert operative in the United States Navy? How does once cover up his Naval service – without help from within?
Plus an indispensable review of the life and times of Phillip Freneau, details on the Port Orford Pole Shift. AND the Langlois Ledger covers the Poetry Slam at the Whale-of-a-Tale café, in which Stephanie Beckon reads Eberhart's epic introduced in the STONE IDOL issue !!!
PRESENTING THE ORIGINAL PYM PUZZLER in which was first posed the question PURPORTEDLY answered in the MATCH OF THE MILLENNIUM issue, as to whether the mysterious Western masterpiece "THE TRAPPER'S LAST SHOT'" is actually the artwork of WILLIAM TYLEE RANNEY as is conventionally and even universally accepted, or in fact does not -- as if FAR MORE LIKELY -- represent the work of a completely DIFFERENT WESTERN ARTIST, and one at east as good as RANNEY, maybe better, and who was a friend of JOE MEEK, whom all reasonable minds must agree, is actually represented in the painting , as he makes his lonesome transcontinental journey through MONTANA, and the headwaters of the Missouri River, ON HIS WAY TO WASHINGTON CITY, D.c., to beg for Federal aid for teh American settlers in Oregon !!
Following immediately on the heels of the "sleeper" SEQUESTERED Issue from Last Week,, this SHORT-SHEETED issue was the Big Kahuna of 2013 ! Never before and never since has the United States Navy suffered a mutiny on one of its ships, much less on a TRAINING VESSEL!!! The Somers Mutiny Affiair stands alone in the annals of U.S history as the darkest day ever for naval discipline. But was the sentence meted out to midshipman Philip Spencer et al, a just one? The truth of the matter is, that his "Sheet anchor of Greek Code" hbas been misunderstood as a simplistic transliteration of English into Greek .. but on this LEVIATHAN of a Puzzler, Goldengate takes the laurels as he lays out the case for 'A CODE WITHIN THE CODE" !!!!
HERE IT IS -- PERHAPS THE APEX of internet-based online historical puzzling, the classic CAUGHT ON TYPE !! issue of the PYM PUZZLER, edited by A.P. Dromgoole. This timeless issue craftily discloses, almost for the first time, the true but hidden history of the California Gold Rush, which opened not in 1849 with an exodus of New Englanders from the EAST Coast, but INSTEAD in August, 18848, with an exodus of OREGONIANS from the PACIFIC coast, -- from the Willamette Valley, in particular, heading south to California. The story begins when a strange single-masted vessel moors along the waterfront in Oregon City, just below the Falls, and begins buying up all the supplies in town !!! Why? SOON ENOUGH word leaks out of the gold strikes in the Sacramento valley, and before long wagon-trains are forming up locally, and men are leaving behind their well-tended fields and crops,their homesteads, and even their wives and children, for a long-shot chance to STRIKE IT RICH !! Amongst these men are some significant figures, who will soon make their mark on California history -- most notably the Honorable "P.' who makes a point of soliciting into his company, one young man, Charlie Putnam: the unknown, nondescript typesetter for the only newspaper being published on the Tualatin Plains in 1848 !! But just who was "The Honorable P" and why did he want to bring Charley along, of all people in the valley? Luckily some of their conversation was CAUGHT ON TYPE !! So perhaps you can find out, in why .... Only in PM PUZZLER -- CAUGHT ON TYPE !!
- P, the editor of the puzzler, has gone missing after going to get coffee for over a week. An anonymous ransom note was found on his desk demanding money and a map from the General Land Office survey.
- This puzzles the writer as it seems P's kidnapping mirrors what happened earlier in the year to contributor Edmund Elmendorf.
- The kidnappers seem interested in a historic Oregon map from the GLO survey that was discussed in Elmendorf's previous articles, which theorized the map contained secret codes related to the Freemasons.
ROGUE RIVER VALLEY WINES now enjoy a reputation for excellence, being well-received and served in establishments of hospitality, well, almost worldwide. Wines of the Jump-Off Joe Wining District are especially sought-after, by those in-the-know. But the earlier history of this Southern Oregon wine-growing region, and some of its pre-eminent Pioneer Wines, are not so well known. This vintage matured in 1894!
NOTE: The images shown in this story, are from R.E. Ivans, M.E., C.E., unique manuscript Map of the Placer Mining Properties .. on Jump Off Joe Creek (1898). This map could be copyrighted !!! – and we don’t mess with legitimate copyrights. See, e.g., How Do You Explain the Shipwrack of David Fasold’s Noah’s Ark? [Last week – Ed.] so we’re only going to show a miniature, and a few bits and pieces – just to be honorable. Players!!! Rest assured: this has nothing to do with withholding the true location of the real Bummer Gulch and Henry Wine’s claim. Or his hidden cache ….. Because – who would guess that they switched the names around, on later maps !!!! Meanwhile, most of the events related in this story took place up Jump-Off Joe, about 4-5 years before this humdinger of a map was made.
But the story began earlier... much, much earlier ….and, in digging into the lodes in the neighborhood of Jump-Off-Joe Creek, you'll learn the answer to The age-old question "WHY DO THEY CALL IT BUMMER GULCH?"
YES.. this is indeed the very FIRST issue oF SYM-ZOnia !!

SYM-Zonia -- KIDNAPPED !! by Michael C. GoldengateRoch Steinbach
On the waterfront of pioneer Astoria, law and order could be up to just one man -- in this case, Gen John Adair the first Post Office and Customs House officer charged with regulating traffic on a river that was FOUR MILES WIDE at the narrows!! In such circumstances, it helped that there was a detachment of U.S. Army regulars at the fort -- but even THEY weren't force enough to reckon with the likes of Capt. William Tichenor, in command of the schooner Emily Farnham!! Capt. Tichenor's response to law enforcement was simply to KIDNAP the army officers and sail away with them out into the ocean. NOW WHAT, SOLDIER??? Find out in "Incient on the Emily Farnham" -- Special Thanks to "Stephanie Beckon".
RECENT RUMORS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE will fall with welcome on the ears of Oregon's "agricultural" community (U.S. Department of Forestry is in the USDA !!) throughout the state, especially in Southern Oregon'd mostly mountainous counties like Jackson, Josephine, Coos, Curry and Douglas, where, along with mining, logging has always been the economic bedrock that kept county services viable.
AT SYM-ZONIA, we the remnant followers of Michael C. Goldengate (ska "Stargate") and Stephanie Beckon herself, which to commemorate the occasion of the possible pending return of protectionism for domestic manufactures and serious industry, with the re-release of this stupendous "DRAIN" issue, and its discussion of the extraordinary history of BOHEMIA COUNTY, Oregon which had its proposed county seat in the town of DRAIN, itself -- with a key contribution form Ass Dr. Beckon herself, addressing teh question of whether Drain, Oregon isn't in fact the location of the REAL Oregon Vortex.
NOTE: THIS ISSUE IS IN FOLLOWUP to the August 19, 2012 "WATERSHED MOMENT" ISSUE, which will appear later.
Companion issue to the all-time classic SYM-Zonia-- BIRTHER. In this POSTER CHILD issue the strange & magical portrait of LADY LIBERTY is delivered of another IDEA -- you could call it a sort of TWIN concept to the Riddle of Rational Phi. But like Esau and Jacob, these two ideas struggle for dominance, and the latter takes hold of the former's heel: though this Second TWIN Idea is born later, it will surpass its brother in strength! And be known throughout he civilized world as a great leader!! Find out how !!
And here's a hint; Andrew Wiles' supposed proof of Fermat's Last Theorem suffered from a few of its own birth defects. These are known well-enough. Congenital defects you might call them -- unlike our TWIN IDEAS. In addition, although Fermat had suggested that his (lost) proof would be short enough to approximate "the margins of this book," Wiles' proof was hundreds of pages long -- even after it was "corrected." Wiles' work also depended heavily on developments in the field of mathematics that were unknown during Fermat's lifetime: so how would Wile's efforts correspond to Fermat's actual proof? Remotely. But did the mathematical community complain or challenge or even doubt the result?
Now, in SYM-Zonia POSTER CHILD, Michael Goldengate delivers the goods: Riddle's Last Digit Theorem (from 1996) provides a simple, foolproof demonstration of Fermat's Last Theorem, using simple algebra and multiplication, over the course of about three pages of work. Riddle takes Fermat's shortcut, by proving his theorem to be true for only the FINAL DIGITS of any number. And guess what? Every number has a final digit .....gosh. Think of the implications ....
Now what, Sir Andrew?
This document is an almanac from 1836 that provides summaries of events related to the abolitionist movement as well as astronomical data and calendars. It begins with a summary of eclipses that will occur in 1836 and includes chronological cycles. The document expresses the publisher's intention to use the almanac to raise awareness about the injustice of slavery and discusses their rationale for addressing northern complicity in the system. It provides calendars with times for sunrise, sunset, high tides and other data. Throughout are quotes, statistics and summaries of pro-slavery newspaper advertisements intended to illustrate the human toll of slavery.

NOTES ON SKETCHES K AND K NO. 2 FROM LT. MacARTHUR'S PRELIMINARY SURVEY of th...Roch Steinbach
Certainly the best way to gain an appreciation for the merits of a harbor, is to attend to the operations of its harbor pilots, and the opinions of those who have worked and run their vessels in the harbor itself. The SECOND great American survey of the Harbor of the Mouth of the Columbia was conducted in 1850, under the command of Lt. William P. MacArthur, U.S.N. [The first survey was in 1841, under Comm. Wilkes of the United States Exploring Expedition.] Lt. MacArthur's survey not only required weeks for his team, in triangulations and soundings, to develop a full hydrographic profile and thus an entirely revamped, and scientifically up-to-date chart of the harbor; but its clear also that Lt. MacArthur and his team held numerous interviews with -- and toured the river mouth with -- the extraordinary men who had already mapped the channels in their mind: namely, river pilots like Capt. Charles White, Capt. George Flavel and maybe even Capt. Wm. Tichenor, founder of Port Orford. This research paper begins to scratch into the history of this survey, the re "discovery" of the South Channel so critical to safe commercial shipping, and Lt. MacArthur's role in Oregon City, addressing the Territorial Government on the critical issue of necessary harbor improvements ...
YANKEE SCOUT -- Calif Newton Drew BiographyRoch Steinbach
These pages, giving a short biographical sketch of Calif Newton Drew, of Whitneyville, Maine, have been extracted from the volume Portrait and Biographical Record of Western Oregon (1904), which is available at the Internet Archive site. The entry for Drew opens with the lines "CALIF NEWTON DREW a hero of the Civil War ..."
Until lately, a handful of Civil War and genealogical websites had this text posted, and it regularly returned in Google and other search engine querries -- but was apparently "Memory-holed" over the New Year. Here it is again !! We'll link to the book too.
Indispensable development of ASTORIA into a 21st C deep-water port facility capable of handling the latest TRIPLE E-class container carriers (45 ft draft) doesn't mean lack of attention to the history of heritage of the Columbia River waterfront!!

PYM Puzzler -- DOUBLEVISION: ASTORIA or Astoria?Roch Steinbach
Once the overwhelming complex decision is made, to develop regional deep-water port facilities at the PORT OF ASTORIA to handle international cargo in and out of the Willamette Valley and the Columbia River Watershed, the question remains, as to how best to transport the heavy volume of international cargo inland to Portland and Clackamas County -- where Oregon's premier manufacturing centers are located.
Will one MAGLEV line direct to Portland be sufficient, if it follows the existing right-of-way of the PNW? Or will another line due south into Washington County be necessary as well?
These and other questions were under consideration at SYM-Zonia over five years ago!!
A year later,the Oregon business community remains trapped in a dilemma following the shutdown of TERMINAL 6 at the PORT OF PORTLAND -- where can international deepwater shipping BEST be handled?
This ancient issue of the PYM Puzzler asked the question FIRST -- will THIRD MILLENIUM DEEP-WATER PORT FACILITITES be built ..... at ASTORIA or FLAVEL???
Find out the surprise answer !!!
YANKEE SCOUT -- Death on the Picket Line !! Roch Steinbach
In this FOURTH ISSUE of YANKEE SCOUT, Gen Hancock's brigade together with "Baldy" Smith's Division move their forces out across Chain Bridge in early September, and break ground for the construction of Fort Ethan Allen. Once completed, the heavy artillery are emplaced, and the brigades move further into enemy territory and set up camp at Lewinsville -- snugged up against the Rebel camps near Scott's Run, in Fairfax County, Virginia, C.S.A. !! Pvt. Drew and some friends are selected to conduct a reconnaissance of the Fairfax county lands south toward Falls Church -- but they are apprehended by Reb cavalry !!! Is there any way to escape ? There is... if you know what "V.M.M" stands for !! FIND OUT !!
Later, there's a problem: them Rebs is moving by night to attack the end of McCall's line of Union pickets: and in the morning a number of pickets have been found dead. General Hancock want to know what can be done, and Drew's services are offered... he takes two friends, a Springfield, some line ... and, well .... we better not spoil the suspense !!
In this THIRD ISSUE of YANKEE SCOUT in the Civil War, as Pvt. Drew and his comrades of the 6th Maine Infantry regiment assume their posts on the Maryland side of Chain Bridge, crossing the Potomac to the sacred Soil of Virginia, they are stunned to be met by dozens upon dozens of retreating Union soldiers, fleeing from the Yankees first and most humiliating defeat at Manassas Junction, on the little creek called Bull Run !!
What could have gone wrong? A total lack of proper military training, and no uniformity to the tactical drill, for one thing; then there's those old muskets, and a lack of target practice, and those silly uniforms that the Fire Zouaves wore!!
President Lincoln calls in Gen George B. McClellan from the battefields of West Virginia, and gives him command of the entire Union Army, and charges him with organizing it in the best professional fashion...
McClellan gets busy,. and soon there is a meticulously organized campground, better food, new Springfield 1861 rifles, daily tactical drilling , and new officers appearing in camp. Pvt. Drew and the 6th Maine Infantry regiment luck out, and are assigned to a new brigade formed under Brigadier General Winfield Scott Hancock -- who will go on to become one of the winningest generals in the Civil War. And, heck, that's a pretty good start ... I'll say ....
In this SECOND jam-packed issue of YANKEE SCOUT (TM), 15 year-old Calif Newton Drew returns to his hometown of Machias, Maine, from logging in the backwoods, only to learn the news relayed by telegraph, that President Lincoln has called fro 75,000 volunteers to join a new Union Army to be deployed to defend Washington D.C. against Secessionists in Virginia and Maryland !! However, because he had been out a few days, his hometown regiment is FULL UP and has already met it's quota ! So Drew and a few friends take the ferry boat up to Eastport, Maine on Moose Island and join the regiment there. Drew strips down to his birthday suit for his physical -- and one of the doctors says he is too young, "You are nothing but a kid !!" and not strong enough to serve -- so Drew lays the Doctor out flat on the floor with one punch !! And he's in the ARMY!! ....
The new soldiers train at Fort Sullivan using tactical manuals and muskets dating all the way back to the War of 1812, and finally are sent on a patriotic tour of American battlefields, as they make their way towards D.C. !!
Find out about the Baltimore Riots of April 19th-20th, the taboo subject of the Confederate burning of the bridges on the P.W.& B.RR line into Baltimore, and the details of the mysterious "Baltimore Plot" to assassinate President Lincoln !!
Finally, on July 20th Drew and his new comrades arrive in Washington, D.C. and are lodged in the old Hall of Congress, and then, the next day, are ordered 6 miles out of Washington to the D.C. perimeter at Chain Bridge ... where they hear the distant cannons sounding at Manassas Junction, the sounds of the Battle of Bull Run !!!
Three months after the closure of the Port of Portland's T-6 -- Oregon's only international deep-water commercial seaport -- we "take the plunge" into Oregon history and explain something of the economic geography that first lead to the development of the Port of Portland -- WAY back in the 1850's. The KEY: it was nothing more than a low, "floor-level" wagon-road from the Tualatin Valley down to the Willamette River waterfront.. the Sylvan Road into Goose Hollow: the same route now traversed by tens of thousand of vehicles a day, in and out of Portland, through the Sylvan Tunnels.
But in this 21st C economy, this slim 19th C. advantage is no longer adequate or sufficient to enable Portland to maintain its competitiveness as a deep-water port: other economic considerations far outweigh this situation: and so Terminal 6 was closed to deep-water shipping and will never re-open. Despite the fact that geography and hydrology dictate this situation, the media in Portland -- including the Oregonian, OPB, and major "talk" entrepreneurs like Lars Larson on KXL, -- continue to scapegoat the ILWU for slowdowns, and in doing so, not only succeed in slandering labor generally, but also conceal from Oregonians the real cause of the T-6 closure, thus distracting them from understanding where the only real solution lies: namely, at Astoria.
In this 90-day update, we take a look at few of these quaint features of the Port of Portland, that made it such a charming Port city, and show how its harbor facility stacks up against those at the Port of Astoria.
WITH THE CLOSURE of Terminal 6 at Oregon's Port of Portland, the Oregon business and manufacturing community, Oregon farmers, and U.S. farmers upriver along the Columbia as far as Idaho and into Montana, have lost their natural, primary and economic access to commercial international deep-water shipping: a key commercial trade route that was enhanced under FDR, under the Columba River Dam project. Now, however, these manufacturers and farmers have been compelled instead to re-direct their commerce into the Port of Seattle-Tacoma -- Seaport -- in order to keep their business alive. The level of commercial traffic now being re-routed over surface streets exceeds 2000 double semi-trucks per day, in addition to rail traffic, at a level which is unsustainable and costly.
SINCE T-6 CLOSED almost a year ago, the resulting increase in volume at Seaport (due to re-routed Oregon commerce) recently prompted Ports of America to terminate its lease with the Port of Oakland, effective Feb. 19, 2016, and announce it would concentrate operations in Tacoma. Peter Ford, Chief Strategy Officer for Ports of America, stated that the reason for leaving Oakland, was to prepare operations in Seaport for Triple-E generation ships, which will soon begin traffic through the upgraded Panama Canal. This is good, but Ports of America's decision to expand services at Seaport, will also entrench an economic paradigm that, for us in Oregon, is regressive and inefficient: it is non-competitive for Oregonians, and a disservice to our economic development; and for many operators up and down the Columbia river, it ultimately will lead to business losses and closures.
UNDER THESE ECONOMIC circumstances, neither Oregon, nor the Pacific coast community, nor America as an economic entity, can afford to overlook the key position which the Port of Astoria holds at the mouth of the "Great River of the West" -- the Columbia River. The Columbia River constitutes the ONLY low-land, nearly sea-level commercial access from the Pacific Ocean into the interior basins of America. At all our other Pacific ports -- Longbeach, Oakland and Seattle-Tacoma -- access is impeded by the rugged and high mountains of the Sierra Nevadas and the Cascade Ranges. Furthermore, Astoria is actually closer to Asian ports, than those in California and Washington.
IT IS NOW BECOMING a national economic imperative therefore, that the United States should retain and advance its role as a key international economic power, and thereby defend the interests and general welfare of its citizens individually, by tapping into the commercial potential of peerless Harbor at the Mouth of the Columbia, with its 20 square miles of anchorage, and its miles upon miles of harbor frontage situated directly on the main shipping channel, with room enough for dozens, even scores of perpendicular berths for even the largest Next-Gen Triple-E carriers, and more than enough room for development of necessary rail yards.

If you love Melville's Bartleby, you'll want to get your hands on a copy of Michael C. Goldengate's "The BARTLEBY COMPANION" Coming Soon!!
Be sure and read the PYM PUZZLER ESCAPADE issue for further details.
Edmund Elmendorf may have owned a slave according to a historical receipt, raising questions about the reality versus fiction of legal documents from the time period of Herman Melville's short story "Bartleby the Scrivener". The story describes Bartleby and other clerks copying legal documents, but details of their work are vague and their actions may have included forging documents. This Puzzler challenges readers to investigate whether any fictionalized court cases were produced and if Bartleby himself was fictionalizing legal documents through his "stone-wall reveries".

GOLDENGATE’S
for May 19, 2013
S.Y.M.-F.O.N.I.C.
WHAT’S INDICATED by VITUS WACKENREUDER’S
TOPOGRAPHICAL RENDERING on the 4-SHEET
COMPOSITE “TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP of
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA and PART of NEVADA”
from J. D. WHITNEY’S CALIFORNIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY ?
But First…..
2. From the desk of ….
WOWEE-ZOWEE ! !! !!!
PLAYERS!! Youngstermembers !!
The HUGE ISSUE of S.Y.M.-Zonia™ …. that
YOU now HOLD at your virtual FINGER-TIPS
-- Yes … I’m speaking of this, the NEW!!
S.Y.M.-F.O.N.I.C. Issue
is SO OUTSIZE … and so…so .. big, no IMPACTFUL!
THIS WEEK! We’re not only kicking off the competition to
FIND and DETERMINE the SECRET LOCATION of this
BLOCKBUSTER MEGA-MEGA-EVENT!! … but
we’re OPENING the COMPEITION and
EXPANDING ELIGIBILITY to INCLUDE not just You
YOUNGSTERMEMBERS !! But also all LOYAL
PLAYERS FAR and WIDE ACROSS THE COUNTRY …
and .. AROUND the GLOBE !!! WowEEEEEEEeeeeee !!!!
How can we do that, you may ask? Why? It’s simple …
PLAYERS: Let me be frank. I’m freaking out. We’re being evicted. .
See? And I need something BIG ENOUGH to keep the bulk of you
BUSY while we here at D-37 RELOCATE to our new Summer
Quarters … !!! That’s Right!!! While not technically an eviction --
because or darling home was never initially approved for human
occupancy -- we are nevertheless being moved out!!! YES!!! !! As of
now! We’re being forced out here at Payless Self-Storage, corner of
California & Scotts Sts., Pacific Heights, San Francisco, etc, etc.
YES!!! It’s really happening.. ~!~ I know …. I know … But it was
certain to happen sooner or later, along with that insane crackdown on
medical dispensaries .. Good grief: we’ve been here for …. Just about
a year now!!!! We have rights!!!! A possessory interest !!! This is the
ONLY HOME that little Sarah N. Dippity has ever known – and she will
be deeply traumatized by the move !!! I am .. so afraid…
“Where will we[“You” – Ed.] go?” .. you ask?
PLAYERS: I’m not quite sure …. Yet !!! But … somewhere in “Central California together with a Part of
Nevada,” as represented on the AMAZING cartography of Vitus Wackenreuder -- that constitutes the “clueing” for
the UPCOMING First Biennial S.Y.M.-F.O.N.I.C. See below ! ! I’ll figure it out pretty soon, I can tell you that.
We’ll be all right!! The family is fine.. … for now. I can handle these little setbacks with the equanimity borne of
experience in extreme adversity … and we’ll relocate in time for the upcoming event. Emotionally, I think I can
endure, just so long as nothing else come up, you know?? I mean, sometimes you can take a real heavy body-blow, a
huge punch to the solar plexus like this… and stay upright, still stagger on, secure in the knowledge that your friends are
still with you, still ready to help, still thinking of you. And with that frame of mind, I think that I too, can continue: with
Suzie Cue at my side, looking forward to a brighter future for Sarah N. Dippity… As long as nothing else happens.
So.. Let’s DO this!!
But first …
3. From the Mailbag …
Holy Sh&T !!! Good grief .. I placed this order Last Year!!! SARAH!!! I can’t pay this!!! I mean, they look great, I
guess … but the address is wrong – and you put the Webmaster’s name on there. And, we’ve just been evicted!!!
We’re sort of .. going on the road for a few weeks. Months… LOOK: We’ll have to talk this over. Maybe we can do
another swap? The wild and elusive Native American you mention, is probably UNK-Nown. He’s evading the law.
I’ve heard from UNK-Nown and he’s on his way down here: I’ve found him … a place -- until the heat’s off. He’s
O.K. I think he’s going to become a Paiute. Call me, or have Stephanie call me …. NO: on second thought, I’ll call
you … . ….once we’re settled.
But first …. .
4. IF a WASP BUILT ITS NEST in the “U” BOX of TYPE, HOW WOULD YOU SPELL
“WACKENREUDER” -- AND HOW WOULD THAT AFFECT the RECORDED HISTORY
of EXPLORATION on the PACIFIC SLOPE (of Oregon)?
Okay… Let’s get to it…
RECONSTRUCTING the PROFESSIONAL CAREER of VITUS WACKENREUDER …
in MARYSVILLE… (California) PRIOR to HIS MEETING with …
J.C.F.
Players -- --
A COMPLETE SET OF
Surveying Instruments -- most
notably one THEODOLITE –
[Look it up! I’m in the middle of
something -- Ed.] was offered for
sale in about the fourth edition of
the Marysville Daily Herald – for
August 16, 1850. No asking price:
this must have been subject to
negotiation. It’s the last item on the
last page – almost an after-thought.
[See next page – Ed.]
But the advertisement notes
“Inquire at the Post Office” –
presumably that would be of the
Postmaster, R. Cushing. This
advertisement ran continually in the
Herald for just a couple weeks,
until the item was last offered in the
August 23 issue of the Herald. As
of August 27, 1851 the
advertisements ceased PLAYERS!!!
We can safely– presume that
someone had recently arrived in
Marysville, (California) seen the ads, and purchased the valuable equipment.
But…. Who…. ? Or …… ….. Whom?
5. Which? What? Why? Where? When? How?
As a good apprentice journalist – and a practicing S.Y.M.-
Zonian™ -- whether or not you’re a WASP – those are the
questions you need to be asking [about –Ed.]!!! But, as to
Wackenreuder, of course, we may never know for sure.
Because…. as discussed Last Week, it’s a documented historical
FACT, that the Editor of the Marysville Herald was overly
deferential to considerations of the habitat of the Wasp who had
moved into the “U”-box of type.. and by exercising his …
editorial discretion in this regard, he literally changed the Course
of History for Marysville… as if by diverting it into some
alternate channel where figures whose names had a number of
“U”’s in them, were consequently un-or-under-represented in the
press. YES … pushed to the fringes of history. At least during
the critical period of late 1850 into 1851 …. And remember:
V. W. has TWO “U”’s’” …..
Here is that THEODOLITE advertisement .. !! It ran from
August 16, 1850 at least through August 23, 1850. But,
….PLAYERS! Quite mysteriously, parts of the Herald’s
classified advertisements for August 27 and 30, 1850, have been
ripped away !!! See for yourself/ves: http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cdnc
So .. we don’t know precisely when the THEODOLITE sold -
- but the advertisement was gone by September 3, 1850 ……
And, indeed, it was in the very same issue of the Herald –
[September 3, 1850 – Ed.] -- that the Editor noted that a WASP
was building its nest in the “U”-box of type … In a certain
negative sense, then, we can almost be certain that This Week –
from Aug. 27 to Sep.3, 1850 -- marked the arrival of
Wackenreuder in Marysville!! I’m offering that as a working
hypothesis anyway. To me it seems… seamless…
PLAYERS: Last Week I showed a standard yellowjacket –
Wasp, because it was crawling along the windowsill at the
Herald !! But isn’t this a paper-building Wasp – or a
subterranean one?
EGAD !!! Don’t touch it … ! !! !!!!
Probably it was a mud-dauber -- !!! I mean .. of course!!!
Certainly it was. I received scores of e-mails on this: this was
all happening in September, 1850 -- a month or two before
Vitus Wackenreuder’s ads began running in the Herald --
after he opened his office in the New Orleans Hotel, no address,
there in Marysville … That’s mud-daubber season, and his
was explicitly characterized as an adobe dwelling…
PLAYERS: [Wanna see ‘em fight? - Ed.] [That would be so cool. – Ed.]
6. V.W.’s first advertisement was taken out in the this issue – the
November 1, 1851 issue of the Herald… that leaves TWO
MONTHS in which Wackenrueder had opportunity to take
Surveying Lessons before he was proficient to undertake solo
operations as a professsional surveyor, and accept real clients.
Yes: I KNOW!!! That’s FAST!! But surveyors were really in
demand at this time. Marysville was a Boom Town! A working
hypothesis is that he trained with the Marysville Postmaster, Mr.
Cushing, who sold him the surveying equipment: the Theodolite.
It was naturally a condition of the sale, that Cushing would offer
some training in the use of the equipment. V. W. demanded it.
And so it was presumably with this background, and this
advanced level of training, that V.W. eventually met Capt.
William Tichenor the following summer, June, 1851, on the San
Franciso waterfront, on the wharf – probably Meigg’s Wharf,
aka Long Wharf – still under construction at the time, but
presumably allowing docking from experienced navigators like
Tichenor. V.W. probably came into San Francisco for
THEODOLITE replacement parts at Thomas Tennent’s place.
And so he had his unit with him. And maybe at the same time,
Capt. Tichenor and V.W. met the J.C.F.-like individual, who
was attracted to the waterfront on account of word-of-mouth
accounts of the events at Battle Rock: the Sea Gull was
embargoed for debt – for two weeks, remember ? -- and this
allowed time for the all-critical rendezvous that changed the
course of Western History….
Who made the introductions? WHO would that burly sea-faring
Oregonian possibly know in San Francisco, who would also be
acquainted with the former GOVERNOR (of California) &
former SENATOR (of California) -- the accomplished Col..
J.C.F.-like individual ? Some key details remain to be worked
out.
Players!!!
Some of Wackenreuder’s earliest biographers – let’s face it, we’ll call them biographical theorists, because they relied
to such an extent on hypotheticalization based upon non-extant non-evidence regarding V.W.’s professional
background – these have presumed that Vitus Wackenrueder was a bit of a … townie … you know. Well, so they called
them Marysville; or a “towner” as the better-educated folks on the Rancherias called them: that is, a homebody who
preferred to limit his surveying work to indoor & in-studio “drawing-board” work, preferably with his cuffs fastened:
drafting proposed plats of municipalities, like those for Port Orford (Oregon) and .. and the Sunnyvale Homesteaders
Association (California), and so forth. In the region of Yuba and Plumas Counties (California), Wackenreuder is
credited with the old-saying “Well … back to the old drawing board… !!!” This h’oere’vouvre, [French for “corpse”, or
“body” of work – Ed.] the argument goes, seems to indicate that Wackenreuder had little idea of the challenges of plein
aire surveying in complex or rugged topographies, like mountain landscapes… . And other related situations.
Thus, laboring under this presumption, they have missed impotant key details that are newly conceivable only upon the
realization … that a WASP had made its adobe nest in the “U” box of type in the typesetter’s room at the Marysville
Herald just shortly before Wackenreuder’s arrival in Marysville …..
IN FACT, as I show below, such presumptions are entirely unwarranted, and indeed are incorrect!!!
WACKENREUDER was an avid outdoorsman, well-acquainted with the high-country, and capable of holding his own
among the First Rank of America’s Great “Intrepids” -- the Explorers of the American Frontier: with the likes of Capt.
Bonneville, or of Kit Carson, or .. perhaps the greatest of them all …
7. “J.C.F.”
PLAYERS: There’s PROOF!!!!!
It’s in the contemporary papers … in the November 4, 1851
Statesman… on page 4 – look it up !!!! It’s in a correspondence
from Statesman Special Correspondent J.C.F. [ –Wait .. -- Ed.]
whom we now know, is NOT Col. John
Charles Fremont – despite the
coincidental identity of a tri-partite
initial sequence --- namely J.C.F.
-- but was rather somebody else, a
farmer I think from the Willamette
valley with the same J.C.F. –
like initials, who appears to have
gone along on this Exploratory
Expedition into the Interior of
Oregon – to find a pass into the Gold
Country, where, Players, even to this
day, none exists… Who was this
extraordinary J.C.F.-like individual who
accompanied Vitus Wackenreuder up the ….. river? Who was
not John Charles Fremont?
Wait …. wait: What did I just say? V.W. went … where???
V.W. went up the River? Up …. SHIT RIVER???
PLAYERS: Maybe!!! I think there’s proof. Real proof.
YES: BE ADVISED: V. W. was along on this Extra Expedition, -
- supposedly up the Coquille River – but, as we now understand,
there was considerable uncertainty over the actual NAMES and
IDENTITIES of a number of these Oregon Coastal rivers –
even among the Indians !!! [So it is said – Ed.] [Please see the
THREE SHEETS to the WIND discussions, appearing in recent
issues of S.Y.M.-Zonia™ -- Ed.] And the Intrepid V. W. more
than proved his mettle when – after suffering a critical injury on
this expedition in a crisis, he volunteered, probably even urged the
others, to proceed without him – sacrificing himself for the well-
being of others and the success of the Expedition!! He
volunteered to be left behind, in his INJURED STATE, exposed
to the elements, and the possibility of attack by roving bands of
hostile Indians – like the Coquilles, or perhaps the Rogue River
Indians … or even the SHIT RIVERS – lead by Chief
Chalnee, or perhaps Chief Saquame … YES! There’s a letter
from Ass. Dr. Beckon – that I didn’t have room to run !!!!
Wackenreuder was there …. SEE? Believe!!!!
PLAYERS – !!!! OKAY: It says “Wackenweder” – but you
KNOW it’s got to be him … Anyway …
I must interrupt this discussion now for a S.Y.M.-Zonia™
business matter! Because This Week we’re ROLLING OUT...
9. For a limited time – I’m authorized to offer you these S.Y.M.-Coins™ at a one-to-one value!!!
Real coins like this first issue , 1816 A.D., Coronet Liberty Cent - shown here -- might cost you as much as $50, $60 or
even $90 -- if you were to buy a real coin like this, from a neighborhood coin-shop!! But, if you act THIS
WEEK we can make SYM-COINS™ AVAIALABLE at PAR VALUE – with a couple exceptions:
PREMIUM INCREASE -- 1849 CORONET CENT
Players – DUE TO HIGH DEMAND – S.Y.M.-COINS™ bearing the date 1849 are
ALREADY in scare supply, as a wide array of Youngstermembers and Players have simultaneously
come up with the Big Idea of “trading up” during the boom market of the California Gold Rush!!!
The Big Idea, being to buy cheap mining gear, and move quickly to STAKE A CLAIM somewhere up
the Sacramento River, then to STRIKE IT RICH, increase your net worth MANY multiples, and use the
newfound mineral wealth, to replenish your stock of S.Y.M.-COINS™ -- by as many as tenfold !!!
YES!! This is a great idea, but … Guess What?? Yes: Everyone’s doing it. Consequently we’ve had to increase our
premiums on these sought-after S.Y.M.-COINS™ . But prices are subject to change !!! PLAYERS: –
please check out the latest listings at http://www.sym-zonia.com !!!!
PREMIUM INCREASE -- 1851 “S.F.” CORONET CENT
Players – DUE TO HIGH DEMAND -- S.Y.M.-COINS™ bearing the date 1851 and the
coveted San Francisco (S.F.) mintmark, are ALREADY in scarce supply, as Youngstermembers and
Players have snapped them up!!!! Because we are able to track the usage of S.Y.M.-COINS™,1
http://www.sym-zonia.com
I
am able to tell you that they are being invested – as we expected -- in a frustrating effort to access
various rivers along the Pacific Coast of Oregon, via shallow draft steamers. However, as at this time,
although the U.S.C.S. is busily compiling the latest navigational data, nevertheless, the precise latitude and longitude of
these rivers has not – evidently – been accurately charted, and so a number of vessels have run aground or been lost.
There have also been many voyages to Astoria (Oregon) to see Desdemona Sands, and the old Custom House –but here
again, unfortunately, even more vessels have wrecked on the bar at the Mouth of the Columbia.. We expected that ….
And we’ve had to increase the premiums on these S.Y.M.-COINS™ !!! But prices are subject to change !!!
PLAYERS: – once again -- please check out the latest listings at !!!!
What we did not expect was the number of voyages that would go direct to Port Orford (Oregon) – nor that Players
would be so frequently pony-trekking down the treacherous coast, to locate that disreputable watering hole, Half-Breed-
House-Under-Humbug, or be paying such long visits to the [Clothing optional – Ed.] Humbug Mountain Hot Springs
… overstayig their reservations presumably, I guess, in hopes of catching a sneek-peak, or glimpse, of Titular Leader
herself, Ass. Dr. Beckon, hanging out there – figuratively that is, I mean – perhaps with some of the firm members of
Smith Hubbard & Tichenor, LLP – or SH&T, LLP, for short. I mean … Really!!!!!
PLAYERS!! The idea is not to be gawking like this, or chasing autographs from a bunch of local celebrities when we
have set up so many real historical adventures for you to explore!!! Consider yourself/ves advised: for if you conduct
yourselves/f in such a fashion with S.Y.M.-COINS™ -- which are merely a form of virtual currency – then what -- I
ask you -- will you do with the real thing? I mean, how can we trust you … later … When you bring your real
money – YES!!!
BRING REAL MONEY !!!!
to… to the ….. S.Y.M.-F.O.N.I.C. !!!!
1
Generically!! Just generically: All your individualized personal information as to your use of S.Y.M.-COINS™
remains entirely confidential !! PLAYERS: We respect your privacy!!! We only compile data-aggregates, while
individual data as to where YOU spend your S.Y.M.-COINS™ is stripped from your account at the end of each month !!
PLAYERS: Please see the S.Y.M.-COIN™ User Agreement posted online at http://www.sym-zonia.com -- Ed.]

We’re using Wackenreuder’s Masterpiece as the KEY to the location of this first ever bienniel S.Y.M.-F.O.N.I.C.!!
PLAYERS -- You can find each of the four separate sheet – and the whole Composite Map as well -- online [ Search
“Wackenreuder Composite” – Ed.] or just go straight over to the Calfiornia Digital Public Library – at
http://dp.la/search?&partner[]=David+Rumsey&place[]=Sierra+Nevada where you can DOWNLOAD them for careful
scrutinizationing in order to find thereupon …. the CAREFULLY ENCODED LOCATION of this Major Upcoming
Event !! BUT – PLAYERS … I THINK … YOU’RE GOING TO NEED SOME HELP !!
Here at S.Y.M.-Zonia™, we’ve prepared these HELPFUL HINTS
to HELP you INTEPREPRET the WACKENREUDER and GUIDE you to the BIG EVENT:
12. 1. CHECK ALONG THE SEAMS … !!!
PLAYERS!!!! Who can forget Dromgoole’s yeoman’s efforts to create a
semblance of normalcy in the summer of 2011, by plunging into the thick of the
Western Mining History, with a traditional P.Y.M.™ Puzzler Golden Summer
for the Youngstermembership !!! During his struggling interim tenure in 2011,
this was pretty remarkable, and completely un-anticipated accomplishment for a
substitute Editor, especially following the disappearance and sudden
“dispatching” of Elmendorf!!! Woweee!!! Back then, this demonstration of
competence, left us all almost speechless: he had our total confidence!!! [
And NO-ONE knew, and few would have suspected, that he was already
[(probably – but who could really know for sure?) – Ed.] plotting the
murder of P.!!! Which he carried out, finally, here in San Francisco!!! –
Ed.]
But the veils were suddenly ripped away precisely over Dromgoole’s
fraudulent clueing of the 6th
Biennial P.Y.M.G.Y.C.P. @ Ke/irb(e)y(vill(e))
-- the objective being to determine WHICH of three or .. even FOUR!! Totally
Alternative Ke/irb(e)y(vill(e))’s -- including extras mysteriously appearing
along the SEAMS – was the REAL location of our 6th P.Y.M.G.C.P.
[Pierre’s Youngster Membership Grand Camp Proceedings ! – Ed.] See, e,g.,
the Seismology Special Golden Summer Puzzler No.11, Kerbyville ….
Where Are You?[(August 28, 2011) – Ed.]
Well – let’s hope you saved some of those Back-Issues, Players : because they
could be really Golden THIS Summer!!! YES: a handful of them could …
really come in handy as you work to solve The Wackenreuder Composite in
order to find the Secret Location of the First Biennial S.Y.M.-F.O.N.I.C. -- @
_______________ [?]!!!! But -- What do I mean?? Well, Players: Let’s LOOK:
With a composite map like the Wackenreuder/Whitney -- in which four (4) separate sheets have to be lined up and
matched along four separate seams, you should have reference to Dromgoole’s examination along the entire length of
the seams where sheets of Lloyd’s Map of the United States were matched – more or less -- in the aforesaid P.Y.M. ™
Golden Summer Puzzler !! Remember?
Right: they didn’t EXACTLY match up along the seams!!!
But, upon closer more scrutinorious examination revealed hidden
details, such as extra KERBYVILLES and KERBYS …
WELL … Guess what!!!! ? ? ? ?! !
Right: Just checking the seams along the 4 sheets of the
Wackenreuder /Whitney should be enough to keep you busy for an
afternoon!! What matches? What’s missing? What’s continued and
what’s DIS-continued? And are there any extra Kerbeyvilles
[Speaking metaphorically of course – Ed.] And what about “Forest
Home” ??
Are there any other “seam” issues – such as “unseen seams” -- in
areas where the map only seems to be seamless? YES!!! There
are!! [Or is !!! – Ed.]
PLAYERS: Study this NOTE in the text to the 4-QUARTERS Map,
to find details of seams that don’t seem to be seams!! Conversely, be
watching out for seeming seams, that are in fact …. NOTt!!
13. 2. PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE NAMES AND LOCATION OF MOUNTAIN RANGES … !!
Given Wackenreuder’s suspected preference for “townie” work and proven
aptitude for plats on the flatlands, and along the beaches – as in his early efforts
at Port Orford (Oregon) [See, for instance, the SEA-CHANGE Issue from
January 27, 2013], Sunny Valley Homestead Association, etc. etc., his
proficiency for high altitude survey work has sometimes come under fire.
HOWEVER, as we saw from the Oregon Statesman December 5, 1851 [See
above, p. _ -- Ed.] – he was no tenderfoot! [Not at least, until after he sprained
his ‘ancle. ’ – Ed.] YES:
V.W. also knew how to get around in the hill-country….
NEVERTHELESS!!! Even for an experienced Mountain Ranger like
Wackenreuder -- a companion and fellow-traveler of Intrepids like J.C.F. --
the Sierra Nevada are a highly complex, deeply-chasmed range – or, as they
used to say on the old maps “Area Unfit for Human Habitation” -- and not to be
underestimated. And, the California Coast range likewise !!! SO, it’s a good
thing V.W. was working with a TEAM – like the Josiah Whitney team of the
California Geological Survey – and it’s a good thing they had him along too!!!
With that in mind, PLAYERS, I recommend that you CAREFULLY REIEW pretty much every square centimeter of
the Mountain ranges shown on the 4-QUARTERS map – for, just as NO-ONE even knew of – or at least remembered --
the existence of the lost mountain range, The Pillars of Atlas, until Dromgoole lay this bombshell on us all, in his debut
P.Y.M. ™ Puzzler, Can YOU Identify the Pillars of Atlas? [ May 8, 2011 – Ed.] [Wowee!! Over TWO years ago!! –
Ed.] so too, I guarantee it; there’s much to be learnt about the Sierra Range, the California Coastal Mountains, and their
mysterious GEOLOGICAL CONVERGENCE among the Siskiyikiyous!!! Why is there no topography on Sheet I?
For further reading, see P.Y.M.™ Gold Summer Puzzler No. 9, What’s the Secret of “The Secret of the Sierra
Ravine”? [August 14, 2011 – Ed.] Available wherever P.Y.M ™ Puzzler back issues are sold. See No. 4, below.
3. MAKE SURE THE RIVERS ORIGINATE AT THEIR ACTUAL SOURCES !
As a corollary to the principal we have just been discussing, be certain to
check the river-courses, and track each one to its correct SOURCE !!! Yes:
remember the reciprocal, almost symbiotic interdependent relationship between
mountain ranges, and … their WATERSHEDS!!!
For instance, many earlier cartographers – out of ignorance, but working on
what they supposed was a justifiable presumption – mistakenly noted down the
SOURCE of the South Fork of the Middle Fork of the American River, as being
no less than LAKE TAHOE, formerly, Lake Bigler, formerly Mountain
Lake!! The South Fork of the Middle Fork of the American river gets up
there so, so, so…. very close to the southwest rim of Lake Tahoe, that … well,
heck!! Just draw the line up to Tahoe: call it good!!!
Little did they suspect that the Truckee River on the opposite and NE flank of
this huge Alpine lake, did a little squiggly doo-hickey fish-hook thing whereby it
-- as is often said – zigged where it should have zagged – and ended up being
almost the sole and exclusive drainage for Lake Tahoe. See, e.g., the P.Y.M.
Golden Summer Puzzler No. 12, What is the Source of the South Fork of the
Middle Fork of the American River? [September 4, 2011 – Ed.]
PLAYERS: Is there anything FUNNY about Wackenreuder’s watersheds [I mean, besides when you say it … five
times fast – Ed.] ? For further reading on Watersheds, let me recommend Last Year’s sentimental favorite, the
well-received WATERSHED MOMENT S.Y.M.-Zonia™, “Who Was the Perpetrator of the Perplexing Plats
of the Umpqua River Watershed….?” [ August 19, 2012 – Ed.]
14. 4. DOUBLECHECK ALL MINING CLAIMS, BOOM TOWNS AND MINING DISTRICTS !!!
With a map with such vast coverage across the Sierras, and including the California Mother Lode, and placer mining
districts almost too many too number, and thousands upon thousands of individual claims—as well as, in Nevada, the
Comstock Lode …. The Lost Hardin Silver Mine, etc. etc., … well, there’s plenty on the Wackenreuder to review ----
or … is there?
Fact is, for a GEOLOGICAL map there’s precious little geology shown on the
Wackenreuder. I found Copperopolis (California) – but where’s
Mineral King (California) ??
Players -- my own personal favorite California mining town
remains Volcanoeville (California) up the Middle Fork of
the American River near Georgetown!!! Whjich
Dromgoole introduced in that Golden Summer
Puzzler No. 1 [(June 26, 2011) – Ed.] It’s
representd here too – And Downieville
(California) from Golden Summer Puzzler No. 2
[The WAGJIS Issue !! (July 2, 2011) – Ed.]…
But WHERE was the Secret Sierra Ravine …?
Was it possibly “Secret Ravine” shown on Sheet I?
No…!!! Henry Watson, and his son Guy, and
their hired-hand Fiery Ned, were “off the charts” in
the land of Silver-Voice the Modoc Princess!!!
Players: we tracked the REAL Secrete Ravine
probably in Modoc County (California) !!! [See
Golden Summer Puzzler No. 9 (Aug 14, 2011)
– Ed.]
5. DISCRIMINATE REAL TOWNS, FROM MERE PLANNED … OR GHOST TOWNS
Wackenreuder has included scores of towns on the 4-QUARRTERS map --
but its not certain that every single one of those towns was actually developed
as planned, or, indeed whether they were actually planned at all.
In order to better interpret your Wackenreuder, you will want to compare a
number of towns as indicated on the 4-QUARTERS with a few conventional
maps of the area. PLAYERS!! Start with a small sector, and move out
from there !!!
The “Puckerville Seam”…
For instance – looking back at the seamly city of Forest Home (California) –
east of Sepastopol: it is shown on Sheet III, but is nowhere to be seen on
Sheet I. Why? Nearby “Pokerville” is oddly rendered as the … seamly…
city of Puckerville !!! Hmmmmm . I think we’ve got something!!
PLAYERS!! I think it’s a CLUE!!!! Refer back to No. 1!! We’ll call this
seam between Sheets I and III … the “Puckerville Seam”…. Make a note of it.
Another for instance -- Wackenreuder has Castoria (California) marked a
few miles -- about 7 I think – south of Stockton: but the town of Castoria died
an early death, and by 1870’s when the C.G.S. surveys were run, there weren’t nothing there!!! And yet … there it is !!!
And rather prominently so!!! But … why?
15. 6. PAY ESPECIALLY CLOSE ATTENTION TO UNCHARTED TERRITORY…. !!
O.K. – This is important – but tricky. I MYSELF spent quite some
time trying to work up the HIDDEN VALLEY S.Y.M.-Zonia™ --
formerly the INCOGNITO Issue -- with a poor result. You, Players,
never ever saw that issue because describing what has never been seen
takes some doing: and so, the HIDDEN VALLEY/INGONITO Issue,
remains to this day… a purely CONCEPTUAL issue, about the
representation of the unrepresented landscape, and how it first takes
shape in the MIND of the first surveyor, who first views its features. IN
other words, how do we get from “TERRA INCOGNITO” – to the
moment of conception, aka the pure .. “NEATO!”
WACKENREUDER/WHITNEY in their IV QUARTERS maps, did
what they could to achieve total coverage… but there is considerable
UNCHARTED TERRITORY, especially on Sheet I, but also on sheet
II, for instance. And I wouldn’t rule it out for some of the others !!
But on Sheet I for instance, we can see a huge HOLE in the
neighborhood of the Sierra foothills, to the northwest of, say
TEHEMA on the Sacramento River !!! due west of Red
Bluffs (California). Old-timers, from as far back as say,
early 2011, may remember our persistent investigation of
this precise area, arising, originally, from the T 24 N. R. 2.
W.,W.M. [Willamette Meridian – Ed.] map attributed by
Elmendorf, to Charles S. Frailey, of the General Land
Office – aka , the G.L.O. [This association making Frailey
himself, Edgar Allen Poe’s elusive antagonist, recognizable
as the long-sought figure, The G.L.O.-Worm – Ed.]
This matter was eventually resolved, when I, last year,
exposed as the solution, a parallelism in the cartography,
which proved that what was really indicated by T 24 N R. 2
W., W.M. was in fact T. 24 N. R 2. W. M.D.M. – Mount
Diablo Meridian – precisely HERE, in the area Northeast of
Tehama (California), and the region of Peter Lassen’s
rancho. This last bit of work was covered in the SMOKE
SIGNALS issue !!!! [August 26, 2012 – Ed.]
[I need to run the Solution to this one!!! – Ed.]
Indeed, the cartography shown on the cover of the SMOKE SIGNLAS Issue –
where the PONDEROSA FIRE broke out last August, would fit perfectly into
this VOID – this TERRA INCOGNITO – as displayed/not displayed on SHEET
I of the Wackenrueder/Whitney map. Very mysterious indeed!!! But there are
other areas of Terra Incognito on the Wackenrueder, that you’ll be wanting to
look into – in particular, let me call your attention to the obvious GAPING HOLE
in Wackenreuder’s mapping in the upper left-hand corner of SHEET I
It’s completely incomplete ... !!!
PLAYERS: Is there some sort of mysterious INTERFACE between the work
of Wackenreuder – a comparative newcomer -- and mysterious encryptions of
Charles S. Frailey, Masonic Mastermind at the General Land Office?? Otherwise
known as ….. ….. the G.L.O.-Worm?
16. 7. DON’T FORGET TO LOOK FOR MISSING, AMBULATORY OR EVANESCENT COUNTIES !!!
In last year’s planned GUMPTION Issue of S.Y.M.-Zonia™ -- didn’t
actually run, but, rather, was absorbed by – or, better, was sucked into -- the
SMOKE SIGNALS Issue [That was August, 26 2012! See above -- Ed.].
So, it was there, that we raised for the first time, the history of mysterious
Bohemia County (Oregon) and it’s designated county seat of Drain
(Oregon). The deep structure of Bohemia County, and the Drain Vortex,
was finally revealed in the followup DRAIN Issue, of Sept. 2, 2012. While
Bohemia County is – of course -- a uniquely Oregonian county
PLAYERS – I’m not saying that there IS anything comparable to
Bohemia County on this C.G.S. map, but there’s something’s UP with
the county boundaries themselves on our 4-part Wackenreuder. That’s
clear: Parts I and II have none – the county boundaries were not even
lithographed: the county boundaries have not been marked anywhere.
Meanwhile on Parts III and IV the counties are … fully delineated – and
not only lithographed but hand tinted. Or … or are they? Are the county
boundaries accurate, if or where they are not shown? Do they indicate
anything … if they are not there? PLAYERS!!!! Refer to the TERRA
COGNITO discussion!!! What’s the operative function here? RIGHT!
Extrapolation may be in order !!! Refer to the map – for instance, see
Sheet IV. Got it? Good!!!!
SPECIAL NOTE: Players -- observe that there are NO counties marked
anywhere in Nevada. No counties are shown. Are any indicated?
8. “X” MARKS THE SPOT !!
Well – In fact, this is the cardinal rule of treasure-map reading!!! And very closely related to No. 1, above!!
But let’s just note in passing, that when four equally sized separate
square sheets of cartographical paper are arranged in such a way,
that they form a larger, square, COMPOSITE sheet of cartography
– and such is the case with the 4-QUARTERS MAP resulting
from the Wackenreuder/Whitney Expedition -- that they meet
in a “FOUR CORNERS” context, which is comparable to an “X”
– potentially one that “MARKS the SPOT” that Wackenreuder
was intending to indicate… Here, the center falls EXACTLY on
the Mokelumne river, which doubles as the boundary – the county
line -- between Calaveras and Amador Counties !!!! Now, refer
back to No. 7 just above …
AHAH!!!! Players!!! The “Puckerville Seam” also leads directly
to this point !!! [See Nos. 1 and 5, above – Ed.]
PLAYERS: Knowing as we do know, that the Puckerville Seam
terminates at the “X” … on the Mokelumne River .. well…
I’d now want to follow that very river to its source [ See No. 3
above, on sourcing your rivers!! – Ed.] or else follow that line to its terminus [See No. 7 above, and No. 9 – next -- on
County Corners —Ed.] -- if I were you!!! Here, the corner is not shown – but it seems to be indicated ….. Or else, the
target is the headwaters of the Mokelumne ….
You’ll need to refer to some other maps… !!!
[ Am I giving you too much help…?? -- Ed.]
17. 9. GET TO KNOW YOUR COUNTY CORNERS !!!
This brings us immediately to the related matter of County Corners.
Players – No!! Not your County CORONER!!! I’m not talking about some
elusive, multi-tasking highly-trained but under-paid and un-recognized public
professional, like Vestal Coffin, the County Coroner of Curry County
(Oregon) !! I mean the corners: like the strange corners of Umpqua County,
and Bohemia County (Oregon) . See, for instance, the SH&T-FIRE and
AFTER-G.L.O. Issue [(November 11, 2012)—Ed.].
On the Wackenreuder, you can extrapolate the county lines to their corner, as
I described in No. 7 above…. OR …. you might start with these corners: Four
counties – Merced, Mariposa, Toulumne and Stanislaus – meet and share a
common corner … that is, after some rather extraordinary jogs, between
Mariposa and Toulumne Counties. Well, of course, that’s interesting but not
remarkable in itself.
HOWEVER, on the Wackenreuder, this
same FOUR-CORNERS point, also falls
precisely on the seam between SHEET III
and SHEET IV -- illustrated here
which suggests to ME, Players, a
representation that is surely intentional, and
not an accident …It registers an extra “ping”
precisely because the corners meet on the seam – which we examined in No. 1. Almost
as if there was an alternative Central Point – or center –being indicated. But this
brings us to the next Helpful Hint …
10. DON’T NEGLECT ROTATION VIS-À-VIS MAGNETIC DECLINATION
PLAYERS .. By now you know enough to approach Wackenreuder with a
dynamic attitude which may require you to make dynamical adjustments
In order to effectively engage and WORK WITH what looks like a static sheet
of paper with squiggly lines all over it …
Of course, the first dynamic is always one of re-orienting a
Wackenreuder according to the deviation of magnetic
north from TRUE NORTH .. that is, bearing in mind at
all times that Wackenreuder was working with a used
THEODOLITE, and had only about 2 months training
under Postmaster Cushing before he started developing
his own rather idiosyncratic methods. Follow the so-
called “Puckerville Seam” eastward, to the center of the
map … then….
We recommend a “standard” rotation, in the range of
between 19ºand 22º of arc … at least for starters. See the
POLE SHIFT Issue [(July 18, 2012) and shown at left – Ed.]
for starters. However, if nothing interesting turns up at that
“resolution” you can go online to the U.S.G.S. website and
download the appropriate topographical Quad map for this point on the Mokelumne River,
between Amador and Calaveras County (California) to get the precise magnetic deviation for this location.
OR … !!! For an alternative Center Point, try using the Four County Corners described in No. 8 above !!!!
Try that!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!
18. 11. ON THE TRAIL OF PYGMALIEN
PLAYERS – I ALMOST FORGOT!! I’m already over-extended!! But I
think It’s important to point out, just how much territory of the
Wackenreuder/Whitney “4-QUARTERS” map covers territory that was
“stomping grounds” for the PYGMALIEN figure/creature/entity …
I mean, Virignia City, Gold Hill, Washoe City, TAHOE, the Truckee
river!!! etc, etc. Heck!! Players: don’t let us forget Calaveras County !!!
PYGMALIEN was all over that landscape!!! Read Roughing It, by
“Mark Twain” – his nom de plume!!.. That is, I mean to say,
PYGMALEIN’s: the monster that resulted when the psychologically
derivative creation – the Artifice “Mr. Twain” -- turned on his creator, the
humble, but psychologically disturbed Mr. Samuel Langhorn Clemens, and
devoured him WHOLE … etc. See the P.O.E. Issue [(Dec. 2. 2012)—Ed.]
So… Wackenreuder may have been indicating something about this
guy too … PYGMALIEN !!!
At any rate – that’s about all the advice I have !!! But, PLAYERS!!!
We know that Vitus Wackenreuder was highly trained into the surveying profession at Marysville (California) – and
that this was probably by the Marysville Postmaster, R. Cushing, whose old surveying equipment, it appears likely that
Wackenreuder purchased, along with a companion agreement, that he could get some hands-on lessons in its proper
use… All this, of course, occurring long before he ever encountered Capt. Tichenor or J.C.F., or some J.C.F.-like
individual in San Francisco (California), and so before he was ever hired to plat the new city of Port Orford (Oregon)
!! [ Get these taken care of – Ed.] We also now know … that Wackenreuder was in the Exploratory party that
ventured up the SO-CALLED “Coquille” River --during the month of October, 1851 – as reported in the article of the
Statesman, from December 5, 1851 , which I printed above!!! And yet we ALL have reason to doubt whether that
“Coquille” River in 1851, is in fact the same river we now know as the Coquille!!! It could have been the
Saquame/Saquamee/Chalnee/Shix aka SHIT River !!! … All of them:. alternative names for the same river – and
the Coquille is actually the Nescutt…. Anyway.
It is with this wide-ranging background and proven of professional expertise that Vitus WACKENREUDER was
retained by DR. Josiah Whitney, to execute the topographical surveys on the California Geological Survey in 1865 --
AND SO HE DID … bringing to the job a unique skill set, a steady hand and the Marysville Postmaster’s used
THEODOLITE ….
And so, well… if it’s good enough for Dr. Whitney, it’s more than-good-enough for me!!!
So ….it’s settled: SEPTEMBER 7-10, 2013 ….. at the S.Y.M.-F.O.N.I.C. !!!
19. LET VITUS WACKENREUDER BE YOUR GUIDE !!!
Oh heck – … I forgot to tell you about the Volcanoes ….
PLAYERS: We all are aware – as are you – of the
vicisisititudes of life that often thrust/drive/impel/etc. us
around from circumstance to circumstance, from place to
place, self-storage unit to self-storage unit, etc., and now to
go … ON THE ROAD!!!! This …
ORDER TO VACATE
w/ D-37 marked upon its face, fastened to our roll-top
door with transparent packing tape – along with a Service of
Process in a criminal case, People of California vs. Richard
C. Birdman, Michael C. Goldengate, Choom-Lord, et al.,
Case No. CC-13-0983479-Af, is like a ROADSIGN
directing us to the future!!!! Meanwhile, next door, the
Dispensary has been shut-down, and the door sealed with
yellow crime-scene tape… I guess, really, when you come
right down to it, there’s very little left for us here … in San
Francisco.
I guess … it’s time for the Goldengates to be moving on too!!!
So… PLAYERS!!!!
We’re heading out too!!! This Week, even, as of TODAY!!!
We’re hitting the road in our little ¼ ton TOYOTA pick-up --
Right: the red one. Footloose and wild!! Inquisitive as ever!! Only
this time, we’re on the road and … WE’RE IN CHARGE !!
Me, Suzy Cue, and little Sarah N. Dippity –
who’ll soon be a whole year old!!!
We’re off to explore Central California and Part of Nevada… w/
the Wackenreuder/Whitney California Geological Survey map
as our guide ….
We’ll be Play-Testing it -- Proof-Checking it -- examining all its
features -- as I tried to identify a few of them, above – [--Ed.] exploring,
not so much what’s shown, but what’s INDICATED !!! in order to
make sure everything’s ready for YOU, Players !!! and for YOU!!!
YOUNGSTERMEMBERS !!!
Probably somewhere up in the High, High Sierras – We’ll be
camping way, way back in there … wherever WACKENREUDER
went, wherever HE indicated …..
That’s where we’ll be seeing …
20. All of YOU … !!!
YOU ARE NOW LEAVING
C.U. @ S.Y.M.-FONIC !!!!
