NEW OIL FIELDS,

Twenty Years Ago.

VIM. ORourke of Dell was in town
Monday organizing local company to
take up some of the oil lands in the new
field about four miles west of Dell, says
the Dillon Examiner. Several of the
young men of town have Joined in the
company and several 16O-acre tracts will

new company.

The surface Of the Dell oil fields is
covered with shale, as in Smallhorn
canyon. This shale has been submitted
to destructive distillation with the re-
suit that four ounces of crude petroleum
can be retorted from a pound of the
shale.
Another infammable substance has
been found in this vicinity. It has the
appearance of being slate rock, When
placed in fire it burns freely and gives
out an intense heat. 1t is evidently

that a serious accident had occurred
Soon the men came down the gulch with

Large Nuggets of Gold.
In another place in the book Mr..
Vaughn refers to the largest nugget of
gold ever found in Montana. 1t was dis
covered by Ed. Rising. who visited Butte
few years ago. He also mentions other
large nuggets found at various points
within the borders of the state. He says:
THE largest nugget was found in Snow
Shoe gulch in 1859 1t weighed lis ounces
and was worth $4,000. There was some
quartz attached. This nugget was long
in shape, more like a foot than a hand.
Snow Shoe gulch is located on top of the
main range of the Rockies and near the
Mullen tunnel on the Northern Pacific
railway.
Deitrick and brother found nugget
on their claim in Rocker gulch in 1867
worth $500. Many other large nuggets
were found in different sulches. hut these
were the largest. The placer gold varies
in size from microscopic powder to the
slugs spoken of. and in quality
from 600 to 900 in fineness.
