nALF-TOX NUGGET OF SILVER.
Found by PrOspectOrs Close Beside n
Railroad Track in Arizona.


From the San Francisco Examiner.
blackberry, Ariz., June A.-From Peach
Springs comes the story of the finding of
a nugget, or boulder, rather, of pure
silver, such as there has been no record
of in the history of mining in the west.
The boulder weighed about half a ton,
and its value is anywhere from $1,000 TO
$4,000. 1t was found by William Tucker
and John Doyle, both old prospectors,
and they have kept the facts to them
selves heretofore because of the chance
that there was more silver where this
lump came from, and they desired to get
the best location for themselves before let
ting the rest of the world into the Sc
cret.
The find was made on June Is. The
men had been prospecting in the Death
Valley mining region and had started
across country to the Grand canon of the
Colorado to get into a little pleasanter
region for their summer work.
They were camped on the Beach emil
grant road just where the cutoff comes
down over the low rolling hills to the
railroad track, about four miles from
Peach Springs, and the nugget was lying
within 300 feet OF the railroad track and
not more than 100 feet from the main
wagon road. 1t projected from the hill
side in plain view of the road, and stood
in such position that more than one man
had probably sat upon it to gaze up or
down the railroad track. Being exactly
similar in appearance to hundreds of other
rocks in that region, it had escaped par
ticular notice until Mr.. Tucker came along
and rested his hand upon 1t. Both Doyle
and Tucker are old miners, and Tucker
especially was struck with the peculiar
d &c mil \,
the form of silver known as BLACK met
al" found in the dolomite limestone in
the Mescal mine In California, and almost
intuitively 1t struck him that here was
a. piece of the same black metal.
He had gone out to bring his horses In
10 camp when the rock attracted his at
tention, and trying to break off frag-
ment he discovered that the rock was
solid metal. He then tried to lift it. but
oould not. and then he went and brought
Dovle out to help him. little digging
disclosed a boulder in the shape of tur-
tie. about two and half feet long, of the
same width, and one foot thick. The top
was smooth and lustrous, and the under
surface was coated with scales of the
black metal
Mr.. Tucker says the nugget has all the
appearance of having been thrown mp
from a great vein and smelted by the
flow of the lava which abounds in that
region, cooling in the room IN Which IL
was found; and this theory Is borne out
bv the find of at least dozen similar
pieces. These pieces of pure silver weighed
from five to fifty pounds each.
Tucker and Doyle have located min
ing claim where the boulder was found,
and intend to sink a shaft and drift in
search of the main vein.
Mr.. Tucker said to-day that in 1888
niece of smelted silver weighing four
hounds was found by William Hooker two
miles west of Peach Springs, but attract
ed no attention. the supposition being that
it had been stolen from Mexican smelter
and subsequently lost by the thief.

Niles Mr. Pencil is farmer and has q
neat and comfortable home near Niles We
asked Mr.. Pencil if il was true that he had
been cured of bad case of rheumatism by
DR. Williams Pink Pills lie said that
three years ago in August 1891 he was
seized with severe pains ii the hip, just
where the seiatie nerve Is, which gradually
ran down his leg making life a misery 70

some work on the farm Soon after be was
loading hay when be slipped off the load
and hit his hip on the wheel. After this
he was worse, suffering great agony and
for some time was unable to do any work.
He took such medicines as his physician
prescribed and improved somewhat SO that
he could help some around the farm again.
About Thanksgiving time he was helping to
put away some barrels of cider which he had
made when he strained himself and again
becnme helpless. He then tried another
physician who felt confident Of curing him
bv the use Of the electric battery and medi-
cines which he prescribed But failure was
/ the result, he got no better, and another
physician was tried and treated him for
some time. BY this time his whole body
was affected. Sharp pains would start IN
| his hand or foot run up one side Of his
body, over his shoulders and then down the
| other side and then pass of for q short time.
| These pains would return regularly, affect
| ing his whole body, and nothing seemed to

being we'll. In the spring Of 1892 a relative

BY Pink pills, and sent the article to him,

very similar and he determined to try them.
| He commenced taking Pink Pills and soon
felt better, the pains became less violent
with longer intervals between them. He
felt encouraged and persevered in their use
and soon became able to work on the farm,
and in April or May he felt so free from
pain that be considered himself a well man
