KICKED INTO A FORTUNE.

Two years ago a man was literally kicked into a fortune. Louis Rode rigo was discharged by the supcrln tendent of the Mistle Shaft mIue. Every day for weeks he hung around the mine imploring to be taken back. Finally he was kicked off the grounds. He procured pick and shovel and grub enough to last him for week or two, and started off prospecting in Bear creek, on the Pine Ridge, some 75 miles northwest of Frisco. Three weeks later be returned with 80, 900 in gold dust, which was banned out ID less than fortnight's actual work

GOLD NUGGETS.

GREAT CALIFORNIA DISCOVERIES.
The Largest Nugget Found in New South Wales, Valued at SEAS, 900. A Miner Kicked into
 Fortune.
From Book by T. J, Hurley.

From Book by T. J. Hurley.
 The largest nugget of which the world has any knowledge, was found at Hill End, New South Wales, by Messrs. Eyer and Haltman. It meas ured four feet nine inches in length, three feet three inches in width and averaged four inches in thickness, It sold for SliS, 900. At the time of find ing 1t Messrs. Eyer and Haltman had exhausted their capital and were prao- tically living on charity. It Is said that the discovery so unnerved one of the partners that he was unfit for work or business for long period
 LARGEST FIND IN CALF oRNIA
 To poor half breed Indian in Cali fornia belongs the credit of the second largest find The scene of this dis. covery was spot that had been gone over time and again by experienced prospectors and miners. In 1861 a firm of young men from St. Louis had been induced to invest in big placer claim in Nevada county. Old miners laughed in their sleeves when they heard of the deal. The claim had never yielded more than colors and promises and they regarded it mori- bund proposition,
 But the new firm took hold with all the energy of young blood and abiding faith in their jugdment and fortune Slulces were built and the hunt for gold instituted with great vigor. Among the employees was the young half breed Indian, One evening when the men had gone to their tents for supper, he went down to the creek to wash his overalls. The sluice ana creek were so dirty that he could not see clearly below the surface. After spreading hIs overalls on the sluIce boards to dry the Indians eyes were attracted by n big yellow rock Tn the muddy stream. He got down into the water and rolled the rock over several times. He had never seen gold in any other form than than tiny flakes or bits the size of pinheads and it never oc- cured to him that gold could be found in any such mass as that he was rolling in the stream. He concluded that he had discovered some new kind of rock and went to his tent to sleep in peace.
 Next morning, when he returned for his overalls, he examined the curious rock again. There was something about it he could neither understand nor define, and he called the foreman to inspect 1t. The trained eye of the experienced miner at once recognized the precious nugget, and the camp went crazy over the find. As the story spread hundreds came long distances just to least their eyes on the iump of gold and to poise in their hands lt weighed 65 pounds and filled . peek measure. The firm sold the nugget to the Adams express company for ST. 400 and presented each of their em- ployes in the camp SlO0, giving the half braad SY0O for his luck in making the find The claim was afterward worked over carefully, but while it yielded q moderate amount of dust. no other nugget larger than pea was found, which is another proof of the miners axiom that ''gold is where you find it.
