The Napier Nugget and the Bendiga Gold Hoard
Immersed in a tale of treasure and misfortune the Napier Nugget recounts four men led by Napier who seek a giant gold find. They bury a vast vein under a tent after a dramatic claim and later ship the treasure to England via the Lochten river, changing lives and history. The gold, weighed near a pristine one eighth carat, fascinates London and the British Museum before misfortune and wealth echo through Liverpool and beyond.

New York Banks Keep Rates Steady July First
Savings banks in New York will not alter interest rates on July 1. Some Brooklyn banks paying 4 percent may cut, while those at 7 percent likely stay. Banking officials foresee a gradual drop to lower rates, with some institutions reluctant to advertise any change until after July 1 to avoid a rush of deposits. One downtown bank reports paying 4 percent since 1891 but earning significantly above that rate, yet could not absorb excess funds if further deposits came in.
