A Chunk Of Gold.

A AmsireaA's Experience IN Australia.
One day while I was at work in the
drift one o! our party. who was bsiling
in the shaft. said
There's something big happened up
above. Tom ; I hear a great buzring and
shouting"
perhaps It's . fight" I suggested. as
I stuck my pick In the soil and I'M.
earthsd . nugget ss large ~ q walnut.
Perhaps It's q and" suggested my
mate.
There's ind hsre."I said. as I
crawled out OF the DRIFT and exhibited
the nugget I had just taken out. Then
I heard the clamor also ; II was like the
murmur OF distant waves. We shook
the rope, and receiving no answer to
our signal. concluded that something
important had happened, a. our mates
above had evidently left the windlass.
A moment later q shadow appeared
above and Bills voice wal heard shout.
ing
"coms up. boys. and see the big
fnd."
"whers Is Il 2" I asked, on reaching
the surface. But I scarcely needed to
ask, for Ii must be where the crowd was
collected. some ffty yards distant from
our claim. The crowd was large and
every moment increasing. but being
brawny and broad. ~shouldered ! pushed
my way through 1t and was almost over.
whslmed with astonishment ct the sight
which greeted my vision ; Il wasn't O
nugget. 1t was . bowlder. No wonder
that the miners were excited. The spec.
tacle was enough to excite the most
phlegmatic individual that ever breathed.
II was . solid mass Of gold a. large or
larger than q leg Of mutton, and not uu.
like one in shape. This was the mass
which has since become widely known
as the Welcome nugget. A fac simis OF
IL may now be seen In the mineral de-
partment Of the Boston Museum OF
Natural History. where the weight Ii
given as 2 ,l66 ounces. and the value a.
SAL, S22 20. The further information Is
impaired that the nugget il the largest
piece Of gold aver found. This 10 an
error. A larger nugget was found at
Bsndigo lead on February 9. 1869; It
weighed ls9 pounds I ounce. or 2.269
ounces
I had been mentally congratulating
myself on the discovery Of . nugget as
large IS O walnut; but the sight Of this
mass OF gold took all the concsit out Of
me. Nevertheless I was glad that the
nugget had been found, for the claim
from which IL vas taken was right In
the direction in which We were working,
and our claim was daily growing richer
in ore.
The Welcome nugget. large IS II was.
did not enrich its finders, for there were
twelve shareholders In II. and 1t brought
them less than . thousand pounds each;
Il would have been Q lucky find for q
couple OF mates. The man who dug Il
out tainted dead away before he nm
earthed Il. When his pick hrst struck
II, he put forth his hand to pick up the
lump; the light from his candle shons
upon 1t and revealed its nature. To bis
surprise 1t did not yield to his touch.
Then he began to feel around IL With his
bands. and 1t grew In size under his ex.
ploring digits. He gave IL . wrench,
but 1t did not bulge. SEEKING his pick,
he began to dig around it, and q Q its true
proportions grew under his eve. the
spectacle ovsrcams him, and he tainted
from JOY.
