A returned Californian who dropped in-
to our Office few days since, and who seen
every part of the great country, and gath.
cred enough ore to make man feel happy
ralated to us the following good one: s.sd4
The landlord Of a hotel built OF boards,
anil located near the Tekulk Digging. was
presented by his wife with 6ne twelve g
pound boy. which coming to the ears Of
wag. he circulated the story that the host
had found twelve pound chunk" which
ran like wildfre through the place and eau
sed quite an excitement. A few weeks af- p
terwards miner from another quarter,
having heard of the twelve-pound chunk,
arrived at this hotel, and at once made APP
plication to the landlady for lodging. Her
husband being absent she attended to iht
guest, when the following conversation took
place, which should be prefaced by the re-
mark that the story had exploded several
days before his arrival, and the landlady
had enjoyed the sell with the rest:
"It was your husband. ma'am wasn't it
who got the twelve pound chunk?"
"He had some help" replied she laugh
ing.
ayes. s'pose sol where WAS hs dig
ging?"
ooh that's a secret"
ayes, s'pose it is" replied she miner,
che thinks he'll get another there, DONE
he?'
al don't know what lie thiaks bat
know he WON'T"
al should think it no: probable. although
is possible"
$50 they say"
The miner here paused awhile, and at
last, after some reflection he said:
81 s'Eose the chunks gone, amt it?''
"Oh no, lis in the other room; would
you Ike to see it?'
"Well, | should, but 'taint laying 'roand
loose, is it?''
"Not exactly" replied the landlady.
throwing opeE the door, "fOr there it rs in
the CRADLE"
The miner bent over, when a pair OF
chubby fists were extended, and giving
the jolly Iandlady one long look. he left for
paris unknown.
