AN AUSTRALIAN NUGGET.
A Lazy and ShiftIess Fellow Found It when
the Miners Overlooked it.

Here is story, told by an old miner
in the San Francisco Call, of the early
mining days in Australia, when the
intense excitement of the discoveries of
nuggets made men almost crazy with
greed
''There was poor, shiftless fellow,
with wife In rags and children in squalor.
He had been denied credit for a sack
of flour at the grocery in the camp. A
more hopeless or wretched life one never
saw before or since. All the lines of
intelligence and feeling had gone out of
his wife's face. 1t had the cold, change
less look of skull 1t was just face
that one sees when hope has gone out of
the life of a person. The children were
nearly naked, and had that hard look
that people get who are poorly fed. The
man was desolate-looking being. The
whole family used to 60 into the Dig
gings together and shift about until they
had got enough to buy something to eat.
They kept sinking lower and lower.
Apparently they were on that fatal
incline of misfortune that some families
get on and whirl downward with fury
till they are plunged into the lowest
abyss of poverty. You often see this
strange fatality attend family or a
branch of family. There seemed no
hope for these poor people. But one
day they struggled into the diggings,
not having energy enough to push on
abreast of the workers. They fell to
picking little pillar that had been left
standing in the midst of the diggings,
all about it having been worked. / do
not think it could have been more than
three feet across, certainly not more
than six. It. was spot that had been
neglected as the diggers pushed their
drifts ahead. The squalled family began
work on this solitary pillar; all they
hoped was for few grains to feed them
for the day. The sun was shining down
upon them warmly. AS the man con-
tinucd listlessly, the sunlight was caught
up by a speck in the pillar that glistened
and flashed. The eyes of the poor fellow
saw it; he thought his work for the day
was done. He knelt down to clean
away the dirt from the bright spot As
he did so the shining metal grew to
larger proportions. Immediately the
whole family was around it in eager
haste to uncover it. The further they
cleared away the soil about it the further
it seemed to recede, After work
ing two hours with growing astonish-
ment they saw the full outline of their
prize-one of the largest Jumps of gold
ever found. That was the luclxiest find
ever made. Men had crossed seas to
discover such nugget. Some of them
