NeYada,s First nugget.

Nevada's first nugget was mined with
butchers knife. John Orr started
across the plains in 1919 The roads
were bad, the weather was worse, and he
was obliged to remain through the winter
at Salt Lake. In April he resumed his
journey. He had a partner named Nick
Kelly, after whom kelly's ravine is
named, and in the company was William
Prouse, now living in Nurb City, about
forty miles southeast of Salt Lake.
Prosse had worked IN mines before geld
was discovered at Coloma, and was good
prospector. One day the train stopped
on the edge of what Is now known as
Gold Canon, near the Carson River, 10
let the animals feed on some bunch grass
found growing near the sage brush.
Prouse, at noontime, took milk pan,
and going down to the gulch began wash
ing dirt, IN n few minutes getting color
to the value Of few cents. Orr then
named the place Gold Canon. The train
soon after resumed travel, going to the
head of Carson Valley There they met
a party of seven, who had left the train
at the sink of the Humboldt, intending
to go IN advance to California and select
good locations for the remainder of the
party They had been unable to cross
the country, and had been lost in the
snow in the mountains for four or five
days, unable to find the divide In Hacer-
town. A stay In Carson for three weeks
followed, when Orr, Kelly and several
others returned to Cold Canon and re-
sumed prospecting. Kelly and Orr went
up the canon until a little fork was
reached, when work was begun. The
party had few tools, and Orr had nothing
but a knife. While Kelly was working
he noticed n very narrow place at the
fork, where the water barely covered a
slab of slate rock. Idly he examined il
and noticed small erevice near the
edge, drove the knife into it, breaking
out piece. The water running over t
washed away the undertaking dirt. andin
few minutes he discovered a gold mo-
get where the rock had covered it. Fl
was quickly removed, and afterward
found to weigh $S.25. This was the
LIST of June, 1850, just thirty years AGO
Prospecting was continued, and thouob
dust was found in several places through
out the canon, Orr's was the only mo
