History
of Oklahoma
http://www.okhistory.org/research/forms/landopeningmap.pdf
Thanks to Rhonda Clover for sending me this.
Oklahoma has had
individual land ownership for a little over a century. It began in 1902
in the Indian Territory with the allotment of lands by the Dawes
Commission. Prior to that time, land in the Indian Territory was
communal property, and belonged to the respective Indian nation
in which an individual lived. In Oklahoma Territory, with
the exception of Indian allotments by the Jerome Commission
in the late 1880s, ownership began in 1889, and spread
with each of the land openings. The last land opening in
Oklahoma Territory, with the minor exception of the salt plains
in Alfalfa County, was in 1906. Land ownership in the
Panhandle was possible after the first official survey was done
for the area in the 1890s.
Oklahoma statehood occurred November 16, 1907,
by joining Oklahoma Territory and the Indian Territory. The
newest county in Oklahoma was formed in 1912.
In 1890, Oklahoma Territory
consisted of Logan, Oklahoma, Cleveland, Canadian, Kingfisher, Payne
and Beaver Counties. At that time, Beaver County consisted of the
entire Oklahoma Panhandle.

closed. This is happening all over the country. This is one
reason I am trying desperately to collect and publish all the index

THE CHEROKEE ADVOCATE
Second Series, Vol. 1, No. 1, April 26, 1870--Vol. 5, No. 36, January
30, 1875
Third Series, Vol. 1, No. 1, March 1, 1876-March 19, 1879
Index by James W. Parins and Daniel F. Littlefield, Jr.
Formatting and editing by Thomas Murray
The Cherokee Advocate was
published by the Cherokee Nation from 1844 until 1906. When publication
began at Tahlequah, Cherokee Nation, on September 26, 1844, the
Advocate, like its predecessor the Cherokee Phoenix, was the only
tribally owned and published newspaper in the country. Authorized by an
act of the Cherokee national council on October 25, 1843, it proposed
to publish in both English and Cherokee useful information for its
Cherokee readers and accurate information regarding the Cherokees for
its readers in the United States. The Cherokee Advocate served the
Cherokee people until the Cherokee Nation was dissolved in 1906.
The first series was published
from 1844 until September 28, 1853, when the newspaper was suspended
for lack of funds. During that period it was edited by William P. Ross
(1844-1846), Daniel H. Ross (1846-1847), William P. Ross (1847-1848),
Daniel H. Ross (1848), James Shepherd Vann (1848-1849, 1851-1852,
1853), David Carter (1849-1851), and William P. Boudinot (1852-1853).
These editors informed the people of their government's actions and
policies--new laws, memorials and protests presented to Congress,
proceedings of the national council, messages of the principal chief,
lists of stray property, and administration papers for estates. They
also reported news from the Cherokee Nation, the rest of Indian
Territory, and the United States.
The newspaper was not revived in
a second series until April 26, 1870, and ran until February 1875, when
the printing office of the Advocate burned, destroying all of the type
and equipment. During this period it was edited by William P. Boudinot
(1870-1873) and John Lynch Adair (1873-1875).
The newspaper was revived in a
third series on March 1, 1876, and continued publication until 1906. It
was edited from 1876 to 1879 by William P. Boudinot (1876-1877) and
George W. Johnson (1877-1879). These editors produced 154 issues of
which only eight are not represented in this index.

Truth about gold bars still a good
mystery
By Phil Brown, Commentary (Brown is a
former managing editor of the Enid Morning News)
Brad Clover, of Enid, has some evidence a major operation was under way
in the late 1930s or maybe early ’40s to locate 14 gold bars said
to have been buried in the vicinity of the dam at the Great Salt Plains
Lake 158 years ago by five men engaged in what must have been a running
fight with a band of hostile Cheyenne-Arapaho Indians.
Some versions of the story, which I related in an earlier column, tell
about efforts to locate the bars in later years. Apparently they were
never found. Clover has a photo of the search operations that were
under way. The photo is small and was taken from a distance, and is
dark. It appears to have been taken with a box camera. Clover got it
from his mother.
Close examination of the picture does show what appears to be a major
drilling project with a small rig. There also appears to be a drilling
pit around the rig. One version of the story says Carl Sheldon, one of
the survivors of the Indian raid, returned in 1901 to retrieve the
treasure, but didn’t find it. Associates of his continued the
search into the 1940s.
Clover’s photo is apparently of the people who were still looking
in the 1930s, but who did not find it either. At least we guess they
didn’t find it. There is no evidence they did. If they had found
the gold it would have been difficult to keep it a secret. Trying to
dispose of 14 gold bars would have attracted a lot of attention. They
had to abandon the hunt because of construction on the dam that created
Great Salt Plains Lake.
But it’s apparent in the small photo this was not just a couple
of guys with a treasure map and an auger poking holes in the ground at
random. It was a sophisticated drilling outfit, and they must have
believed the gold — wrapped in a buffalo hide — was down
there somewhere.
I’ve never heard positively where the gold came from in the first
place. I speculated because of the date — 1850 — the five
guys got lucky in the 1849 California gold rush and were returning home
to Missouri with their earnings when they bumped into the Indians, but
that is just a guess. Somebody
believed the gold was really down there in the shifting sands of Great
Salt Plains, because they were still poking around trying to find it 90
years after the Indian attack.
There is more than one mystery here. Why did Sheldon wait 50 years to
come looking for it? Did the other guy who escaped with him come back
alone and retrieve the gold — or most of it? And, where did the
gold really come from? Was it stolen?
There must surely be some kind of modern technology — maybe some
kind of fancy radar that can look down through the water, the fish and
the mud and see if there are 14 gold bars down there somewhere near the
dam. Anything as dense as gold should be easily detected by radar,
right?
Of course I don’t know what the 14 gold bars weighed, so I
can’t really say what they would be worth at today’s
inflated prices. If we (you and me) want to assume the 14 bars weighed
about 400 pounds, that would be 6,400 ounces, and on the futures market
gold is being quoted at about $881 an ounce — that means the gold
bars might be worth about $5.6 million.
By today’s standards that is not a huge fortune, but there is
just something about buried treasure and Indians, and of course
everyone loves a good mystery.
The
following is supposed to refer to John Hiram Clover, born 28 June 1853,
died 30 October 1822, Dewey, Oklahoma. He
was born Monroe County, Illinois, the son of James Monroe Clover.
