MONSTER GOLD QUARTZ NTIGOEI%—A curiosify is now
on view, at the Royal Irish Institute, College-green,
Dublin, in the shape of a monster gold quarz nugget,
from the diggings of Louisa Creek, in Australia. It is
the prope,tv of Mr. F. T. Blake, brother of the Mayor of
Waterford, by whom it was purchased from two Irishmen,
who found it, for the sum of £lO,OOO. Oa entering the
room the visitor finds placed in the centre of the table,
restit g on a wooden stand, an immense mass of quartz,
nearly a yard long, almost al broad, and fifteen or sixteen
inches deep. 'I he white exteri ,r of the quartz presents
no sign of gold save a glittering speck here and there ;
but the extraurdinary weight of the mass is relied on as the
evilence of a large quantity of the precious metal existing
within. The nugget weighs 41 cwt., and was lifted to its
place by eight men. It has been already viewed by many
persons, and forms the saject of somewhat diverse spec.u.
lations. Should the favourable anticipations as to its
interior quality be re tlised, the result will effurd an exam-
ple of the most paradoxical labours in the pursuit of
fortune labours which have been at once altogether
nugget ory, and immensely successful.—Saunders's News-
Letter,
