mR. NooNAN.s BIG NUGGET.
I; Is worth $500 and was Found In 9
Hesp Of Taiiings.

III worth $500 and wa. Found In q
HeSp Of TaninEs.
Mr. Martin NOonan. a Coeur d'Alene
mining man. arrived in this city from
Delta. Idaho. the other day. with a
$500 gold nugget In his pocket Mr..
Nocran has had nearly forty years
experience as a placer miner and pros
pector all over the West, and although
like the far-famed Reuben Glue, his
counteaance is ornamented at the
lower end by a little bunch of whis-
kers. there the similitude closes. for.
unlike Reuben, Mr.. Noonan really
knows a thing or two.
Mr.. Noonan exhibited his big mug
get to several persons. They viewed
1t with great curiosity, and wondered
If it were really possible that so large
sum could represent the value Of so
small a chunk OF quartz and yellow
metal. 1t was about as large. and
much resembled in shape a fair-sized
Bartlett pear. A quantity Of dirty
looking quartz was mixed up with 1t,
and it's rounded sides betrayed its or
igin in a bed of gravel
There's too much quartz in it to bd
worth so much" said a bystander.
You can tell nothing by the looks
OF nugget how much 1t is worth, said
another bystander. who looked like a
miner himself. You can only tell by
hefiing it, you see, and judging by the
apparent weight Of this, it is worth
fully $500"
1T weighs Just 27la ounces" said
Mr.. NoOnan, and what quartz there
is in it won't weigh much It was
rather odd how this here nugget came
to be found. 1; lay in a heap Of coarse
tailings for five years before some one
happened 10 pick it up. You see, 1t
was forked out Of the sluice box along
with other rocks usually forked out to
keep the box from being obstructed.
The man that forked it out probably
didn't notice its extra weight, or it
would have been found much sooner"
How often can man pick up stones
like this in the Occur d'Alene coun-
try?"
well, I don't know. It isn't ex-
actly like digging potatoes in the
Snake River Valley. l have been
looking fer nuggets Of all sizes for
thirty-seven years, and this is a good
deal the biggest I have found. This
one came from Trail Gulch. near Delta,
Idaho. and have worked around that
camp eleven years without seeing any
others like this. Morning Oregonian.
