Sand or gravel is dumped inside a revolving drum and water is forced through the machine by a diaphragm pump. Then the machine throws out the useless material and the fine particles are tossed on a rocker at the bottom of the machine. Each day that they have an opportunity they work one of the numerous small Indiana streams, and generally they find traces of gold. They have not yet discovered the metal in paying quantity, but they believe that their new ideas on recovering gold will eventually bring them a strike. They seldom find more than $2 in gold apiece for their day's work.

However, they have found small quantities of copper and silver, one diamond, many small rubies and garnets, and several petrified lizards.

But on the highway's predecessor, old Newport pike, there were toll gates or toll houses placed at certain points to collect money for the upkeep of the pike. Jonathan Hough, his brother, and Jonathan's three sons, William, Hiram, and Moses, had farms around Newport. They settled there in 1811. They had farms east and north of Fountain City.

Now on either side of the Whitewater road, their last houses still stand. Also they owned much of the ground over which Newport was built, the present park. Willow Grove cemetery, the land south of Newport or Fountain City on both sides of the pike to halfway between the two covered bridges where a crossing country road led off to the east only. Their land extended east to and beyond Little creek, sometimes called Bull Run, and west to where the present railroad extends. At the cross road the land of the Thomases began, Francis Thomas and his three sons, Luke, Isaac, and Clarkson.

Isaac adjoined the Houghs land with land extending on west of the pike through the second bridge to the road leading off to New Garden and other holdings similar to that of the Houghs. There at the New Garden road began the land of his brother, Clark-son, and beyond down the pike, the land of Luke the pike was constructed long before the bridges. The upper covered bridge was built in 1861. The date was on the bridge and my mother, nearest at hand, boarded some of the constructors in addition to all her household duties. First Toll Gate The first toll gate below Newport was located on the corner of the Jonathan Hough farm to catch the country travel coming to Newport, over that road the other way leading to Richmond.

The toll house was a little one-story building: built up to the pike. It had an indented porch on half its front width, and somewhere on the corner pillar or post was fastened securely the rope holding down the long sapling extending across the pike from its lever a short post or ground fastening. When drawn down the pole caught horses breast high and the driver had to stop and pay in order to proceed. Dear, cheery Thankful Armfield wa3 the keeper I remember earliest and best as I could walk from my grandfather's house to the gate. And Lon Patty, a nephew perhaps lived with her, a young man who has descendants in Richmond now I believe.

Others remember earlier attendants. In the year 1861 it was kept by Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Parker, parents of Mrs. Mary Harrison of this place, who was then less than one year old.

As we proceeded west down this road for about three blocks perhaps there lay before us first a fringe of beech trees of which perhaps now remains only a burnt trunk of one of the many spreading trees upon whose silvery bark, pairs of sweethearts carved their names in dainty letters and came back in later years to find the letters grown to bold type.
