Silver Secret of Boonville Mine Still Unfound
In Boonville Indiana locals recall the 1887 silver mystery of Solomon Turpen who showed silver nuggets then vanished. Turpen never revealed the mine location before his death, leaving a legend of silver along the Lynnville Boonville road and a depleted shaft near Dyson Knobs. Matthew Turpen of Evansville supports the tale but doubts the Kooks land as the site, suggesting the discovery was somewhere along the Lynnville Boonville route.
