LARGE NUGGETS.
Some Wonderful Nuggets Found in Montana
and Elsewhere

The term nugget" is applied To a lump
or mass of gold of unusual size or weight
These nuggets are found, more or less, OF
greater or less value, in all gold fields. The
largest nuggets ever discovered have been
found in the gold fields OF Victoria, Aus.
tralia. The so-eailed welcome nugget weigh.
ing more than ls2 troy pounds, was found
at Bakery Hill, Ballarat, in 1858. An.
other the Blanche Barley nugget, weighed
lag pounds, and only about six ounces
was quartz. The largest California nugget
was found at Carson HILL Gala veras county.
and weighed los pounds. four pounds of il
being rock. The first piece of gold ever
found in California was worth only fifty
cents, and the second 81. Since that time
one nugget has been found worth SI3, 900;
two, S21 900 one, $1,000; two, IS. 900;
one, 81. 800: four, 81, 900; twelve. worth
from $1,000 to 81, 900, and eighteen. worth
from 81 900 to $1,000, have been found
and recorded in the history of the state ac-
cording To the hest oil historical authority
In addition to the above. numberless mug
gets worth from 500 to $500 are men,
toned in the annals of California gold min
ing during the last thirty years. Big mug
gets are very fine things to show, hut after
all it il the fine god-the dust-that shows
up and makes the bulk Of the gold crop
from the gold fields of Montana, Ca lifornia.
Australia and other countries and local.
ties producing that metal in abundance.
From the date of discovery of gold in Cali |
fornia to the present time the combined
weld is not far from 81 PA, OoO, 900. As
a metal producer Montana to-day heads
the list by lead Of several millions of dol.
lars over any other state or territory in
the Union Gncluding gold, silver. copper,
iron and lead. and ranks next to Califor.
MIA, or second on the list, in the produc-
ton OF gold. Montana commenced to be
mined for gold along in 1s62, twenty-seven
years ago, and the territory is now produc-
ing annually in all the metals more than
$4O.OOO,OOO. Alder gulch, about thirteen
miles long, is credited with geld output of
$50, 100000, and Last Chance gulch. in
which the city Of Helena now stands. So
100000. One Of the largest nuggets ever
Iound in Montana was forked out of a
Hume box in Nelson gulch and thrown
among the boulders, where il was left for
three or four days. The miner who threw I
the supposed rock out remarked at the I
time that il was very heavy piece of rock,

Wonderful Discoveries.

NEW YORK, Oct 1.-The scientific ex-
pedition sent out by the Princeton college
to dig in the Oregon mountains for fossil
deposits, returned bringing news of a
most interesting nature to the scientific
world. Their Investigations lay chiefly
in the John Day lake region. The report
concludes with this outline of the extent
of the discoveries made. 1t says:
This wonderful museum Of Q buried
world has been sealed up by subsequent
lava fluids, and is now accessible only on
the sides of valleys where streams have
cut down through the overlying masses
The results Of our summers work were

BERLIN, Sept. 3O.-According to the
National Zietung the Czar's visit is otfici

motive in recreating agitation over the
Russian ornaments on the eve Of the
Czar's reception is variously Interpreted.
Recalling the incidents prior to the last
interview the Gear accorded him here, it
is obvious the Chancellor aims to place
the Gar again under the necessity of
granting political conference. The re-
ports also serve other purposes, as they
tend to balk Ruasia's efforts to negotiate
II loan for the payment of the cost of re-
peating rifles ordered in France, and pre-
pare the Reichstag to accept the new mil
itary bill
