Others returned to Gold Canyon and re-
sumed prospecting Kelly and Orr went
up the canyon until little fork was
reached, when work was begun. The
party lad few tools, and Orr had nothing
but butcher-knife. While Kelly was
working, Orr noticed very narrow place
at the fork, where thewater barely covered
a slab of slate rock Idly he examined it.
and noticing small crevice near the edge,
drove the butcher-knife into it, breaking
out piece. The water running over it
washed away the underlying dirt. and in
few seconds Orr discovered golden mug
get where the rock had covered. 1t was
quickly removed and afterwards found to
weigh SIS 25. This was on the lst of June,
1850, nearly thirty years ago. Prospecting
was continued, and though gold dust was
found IN several places throughout the
canyon, Orr's was the only nugget found
The party lacked tools and provisions, and
being bent on reaching California, aban-
doned the canyon and arrived at Leek
Springs July 4, 1850 Orr offered the
nugget to Kelly, who refused to accept it,
and as it was the first piece of gold he ever
dug, Orr, for few years kept it as
souvenir on that account. OF late years
inquiry as to the first discovery of gold in
Nevada, and the settlement of the diseov-
cry upon Mr. Orr and his nugget, have
induced him to state that the nugget is
not for sale, nor will it be donated to any
museum. He has four grown sons, and
will keep it for them. to be passed down
as an heirloom. Mr.. Lord writes that the
survey in their contemplated work will
the first discovery as stated
above.
