KING BILIY'S TRIBUTE.

Windsor Magazine: Hunting is the
only congenial occupation of the native.
and when he has nothing to hunt he helps
himself at the huts of settlers. A certain
chief known as King Billy had quite regal
ideas concerning the laws of meun ct
tuum. 1t ia related, however, to hts
credit that he never borrowed a Joint Of
meat or a blanket without saying to
himself:
Well, Well! King Billy needs it. It's
all King Billy's."
This same sable monarch, it is authen-
tically related, had married a white girl,
to whom he became much attached.
Years afterward, when she died, so much
was his grief that he determined her
memor should be perpetuated after the
white mans custom. A tombstone was
procured and erected over her grave.
The old gentleman was never tired of ex-
hiblting it to visitors as the most inter-
esting of his possessions. 1t bore the
following simple and touching inscrip-
ton:

A BIG NUGGET.

Omaha World-Herald: A single chunk
of gold weighing SO pounds and worth
$11, $50! This was the size and value of
the nugget that e. H. Virgil of East
Portland, found in French gulch, near
Gold Hill, Columbia county, California,
in 1857.
Il tell YOU" remarked Mr.. Virgil, as
his eyes lighted up with the recollection
of that famous find, that was the event
OF a lifetime, and caused much excite
ment all over the country. Up to that
time it was the largest nugget that had
ever been uncovered in California. 1t
was a mere accident, and some one else
might have been the lucky one.
Il had a partner named West, and we
had been mining in French gulch, but
were not doing much, and we decided to
so over to the Frazer river, and we sold
out the very claim where l afterward
found the big chunk Of gold. Well, l
went up north, but that did not pan out
very well, and | decided to return. West
back our old claim. We went to work
again on the old ground. One day I was
working away with my pick, taking out
pieces of dull-red stone that was so light
and porous that it Woul float on water.
While | was digging in the stuff my pick
struck something hard. | worked away

verely. | called to West, and as he came
| thought I could hang my coat on his
eyes Miners gathered from all direc-
toms. 1t was a big custom for a miner
when he found a big nugget to sit down
on it, and, with q dish of beans, wait till
he could make a safe disposition of it.
In this case we formed a procession and
took the chunk to the express office,
where the amazement of the officials vas
great indeed. The chunk of gold had
some quartz in it, but / received ST, $50
for 1t. l suppose it must nave been

that it was underneath. We sold out

no newspaper behind which to hide, he
