GOLD FROM A GLACIER
FABULOUS FIND ON THE COPPER
RIVER
Another Report Which VIII Doubtless
Start Anew the Exodus to the Nor
thern Gold Fields.

SEATTLE, April 10.-A gold discov-
cry of fabulous richness rlvaling the
widest day dream of modern Ar
gonaut, has been made at the very
foot of the Naldes glacier, on an OBJ
scure creek, within three miles of
Copper City, by w. \. Conoyer of Red
Bank, n. j., according to the story as
told by him to Post-Intelligencer re-
porter last night. Conover came down
from Port Naldes Thursday on the
steamer Excelsior. He has in his pos
sion six nuggets of virgin gold, weigh
ing from $3.50 to $3.50 each, and he
claims to have taken them out in
four hours with "A shovel and gold
pan, from the surface dirt, and un-
der the most unfavorable circumstan-
ceS.
Conover says he went to Port Val
DIES on the schooner General Siglin,
on February 14th, and was at Copper
Creek but six days. during which pc
riod he prospected in the creek from
which has party obtained drinking
water, with the result stated. The
creek, he thinks, was Elmo creek. but
he was not certain of this.

edge of the stream where the ground
was not frozen, and from which the
water had receded, and. taking out
some of the gravel. washed it out in
the water hole cut in the ice. In al
most the first pan | found one of the
nuggets. For four hours | worked
like mad and the result was those six

Conover has also specimens of heav-
lily mineralized quartz, which he claims
to have found i'm the same locality.
| The quartz however does not appear
to be of much value. the mineral con-
tanned in it being apparently crystals

Conover's find. if actually made, is
of unparalleled richness. for, accord
