Indiana Gold Mines and the Morgan County Hydraulic Find
An old California miner opened Indiana’s first hydraulic gold mine north of Martinsville in Morgan County. Prospecting over three years has grown to 2,500 acres controlled with up to 8,000 more under supervision. Reports tell of ducks and chickens finding gold in streams, a 12 dollar nugget, and notable locals like Wild Bill Stafford and Old Man Moon amid a fringe community of long-time prospectors.

Money for Indians Pays Kansas Land Claim Size $1.9 Million
The Interior Department plans to pay $1,908,744 to the Six Nations Indians of New York, about 6,000 people, from a 1700s land grant dispute. Each will receive roughly $400 by check. The payment follows a long history of treaties and sales involving Robert Morris and early U.S. government actions, with the Indians still holding 5,000 acres in New York.
