BIGGEST NUGGET OF GOLD
IT WEIGHED l46 POUNDS AND THE MAN WHO FOUND 1T
JUST DIED IN OBsCURITY

! by ten inches wide, and from one and a
half to three and three quarters thick
1t weighed exactly 146 pounds ounces 3
pennyWeightS, and was actually the larg-
est and finest nugget of pure gold ever
found anywhere in the world. One or
two others were discovered that weighed
as much, but they were not solid or pure
gold.
'At dusk we secretly transferred the
precious lump to our tent and at mid
night when all was quiet we made hole
Into this we laid the nugget and filled in
the earth with great care, so as not to
leave trace of our work. Then only did
we feel safe. No one had seen the mug
get save ourselves-my brother and L
and it was now buried securely from dis
eovery. We went to work as usual every
day, and left our tent open to avoid ex-
citing suspicion in the camp.
For three months it lay thus buried
and at the end of that time we washed
out our claim. We found 6. number Of
which weighed eight pounds. Then We
quit the diggingS and soon landed our
prize in the bank at Melbourne, and all
anxiety was at an end. The news then
ed to. the Singowar gold fields, We
named the famous nugget the Blanche
Barclay" in honor of the beautiful daugh-
ter of the. governor, and by that name is
the model. now in the British Museum
Known The bank gave us an insurance
of $4,000 for the safe delivery of the mug
get in London, and we set sail for Eng
land.
ION our arrival we were made lions Of
in London. The queen sent for us, and
we dined at buckingham palace. Her
majesty and the prince consort received
us most graciously, and the Prince OF
Wales, now the king, then lad Of fif-
teen, showed a very deep interest In the
big mass of gold and no wonder, for It
was one of the prettiest sights one could
wish to see. 1t was 1871 karats fine, or as
near absolutely pure gold as 1t is posi-
BILE to get it, Then it was put on eXh1-
bition at the Crystal palace, for which
privilege we were paid $3.50 week. This
lasted for some three months, during
which time Sir Roderick Murchison had a
cast made of the nugget for the British
Museum. The work was SO perfectly
done by an Italian that you could not tell
one from the other until you lifted them.
Finally, we sold the nugget for $50, 600.
1t was, however, not worth more than
$50, 600 intrinsically, but, being the largest
and finest gold nugget ever found, we got
$40, 900 more for it than it's real value.
After a time 1t passed into the hands of
the Bank of England. the intention being
to keep 1t for the British Museum. But
after that time a new general manager or
directorate came ill., and, to the surprise
and regret of everyone, the nugget was
melted down and turned into money, and
that was the last Of the famous nugget"

ANARCHISTS TO RECEIVE
THE PRESIDENT
Gossip That Causes the Resignation OF
Two Members of the Chicago
Reception Committee.

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-Ephraim Philip
Rosenthal, secretary of the committee
on citizens for the reception and enter
tainment of President Roosevelt dur
ing his visit to Chicago next month,
resigned his position suddenly today.
He took this action Immediately upon
the publication Of rumor that the
Roosevelt committee contained one and
possibly two members whose sympa-
thies lay towards anarchy. Mr.. Rosen-
thai said that the rumor was worded in
such way that he could not but see
from the inference that he was the man
concerned, and it only remained for
him to step aside. He felt very deeply
toward the insinuation on his part, but
desired the visit Of the president to be
clear of any suspicion that anyone
whose name had ever been copied with
the name of anarchy was to be associ-
ated with those having him in their
charge during his stay here. -.
Max Rosenthoff, one of the enter
tainment committee, also considered
himself connected with the gossip go
ing the rounds because of his friend
ship for Mr.. Rosenthal, but he disa-
vowed any connection with anarchy.
He also rendered his resignation.

EARLY END OF STRIKE
AGAIN ANNOUNCED
Familiar Statement Herewith Printed
for What &
Worth5M

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-Word was re-
ceived in Chicago tonight from Henry
E. Weaver, Of the Weaven Coal com
pany, who is in Buffalo, that the an
thracite coal strike will soon come to
an end; that one of the largest mines
in the heart Of the disturbed district
in Pennsylvania is about, to give in to
the strikers and that the other mines
will directly follow the example of the
leader.
c. e. Ferguson, private secretary to
Mr.. Weaver, received a long telegram
from Buffalo stating the case and the
announcement was authorized by Mr..
Weaver through Mr.. Ferguson in Chi
cago.
THE big mine which Mr.. Weaver re-
fers to-" said Mr.. Ferguson, will be in
operation within a week. The owners
of the mine, which is one of the larg-
est in the affected district, realize that
the settlement which is bound to come
cannot be put off any longer, as the
big strike has now come to a crisis
and affairs have reached SO serious a
point and the effects are so widespread
and dire that the settlement must come
promptly. Mr.. Weaver was assured
that the mine would be working again
within a week.
"Of course the other mines will fol-
low the example promptly and the pub
lie can look forward to settlement of
all Of the difficulties within a short
time"

FORTHCOMING MANEUvERS IN CA.
RIBBEAN WATERS ENGRoSs
DEWEY'S ATTENTION
GENERAL BOARD SEEKS TO
BUILD UP THE NAVY
1t Will Confer With Secretary Moody
Regarding Prospective Recommends
tions to Congress-Desire to Adopt
the German Plans of Building Few
War Vessels Every Year.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 17.-The
naval general board will resume it's
session in Washington on next Tues
day. During the summer the board
met at Newport and elsewhere, and it
has pursued without interruption the
preparation of plans for the great COM
bination maneuvers to take place in
the West Indies during the winter.
Admiral Dewey, president of the board,
is intensely interested in these ma
neuvers. 1t was mis- desire to keep in
personal touch with the junior officers
Of the board, who are working out the
numerous details of the scheme, which
led the admiral to curtail his vacation IN
the mountains of Pennsylvania and re-
turn to Washington to meet the board.
1t is the present intention to start
the entire North Atlantic squadron
southwark, bound for Culebra island,
Nov Is next. Rear Admiral Crown1n-
shields European squadron will sail
from Gibraltar about the same time,
while Rear Admiral Sumner, COM
handing the South Atlantic station,
being further removed from the rem
devious at Culebra island, will sail
northward with his small fleet about
the first week in November. The dates
Of departure of the various fleets will
be timed so that the three naval col
umns will converge on Culebra island,
about the same date.
Considering Naval Construction.
Another important task to be taken
up by the general board when it meets
at the navy department next week is
the preparation Of a scheme Of naval
construction to be submitted to Sec>
rotary Moody for his guidance in max
ing his annual recommendations to
congress. The general board has we'll
defined notions on this subject, and last
year, holding that the naval construc-
ton during the past decade had been
haphazard and systemless, proceeded
to form a systematical programme,
based on the German practice of con-
structing a certain number of ships
every year.
The boards ultimate purpose is to
put the United States in possession Of
a small but absolutely defensive navy.
The board regarded it as essential that
the work of construction should be
correct, and when it meets next week
it will attempt to revise it's schedles
of last year to carry out this idea in
the light of naval developments of the
past year. The fact that doubt has
been thrown on the purpose of Secre-
tary Moody to recommend and of con-
gress to authorize the construction Of
any naval ships at the next session is
not likely to affect the action of the

ROGERS IS NOT GUILTY.
Jury, After Being Out Eleven Hours, Re-
turna Verdict.

Harvey s. Rogers is innocent. At II
o'clock last evening the federal jury,
which went out at noon, returned a YER
dict in favor of the defendant, who was
charged under an indictment of seven
counts with secreting and embezzing
mall
The scene was dramatic in the extreme.
Rogers loyal friends to the number of
fifteen or more could scarcely wait until
the court retired before they pushed up
to the bar to shake hands with Rogers.
For a time it appeared that disagree
ment would result. 1t is understood that
a few members of the jury held out for
conviction. AT 10:40 Deputy Marshal w.
r. Grimshaw was told that if Judge
Munger could be summoned from the Min
neapolis club, where he is living, to ex-
plain again the three blank forms of YER
diets which had been furnished they would
agree in a short time. The jury retired
following a reduplication of part Of the
judges charge and appeared in ten min
uteS.
Rogers will leave at once for Necedah,
Wis, to attend the funeral of his father,
who died last night of paralysis. He has
known for three days that the death of
his father was imminent, and has there
fore been under double strain for TWEEN
ty-four hours with the uncertainty of a
possible verdict overhanging.

A romance and tragedy were bound up
in the life Of Samuel H. Napier, lately IL
charge Of one of the lumber supply sta
lions of Gilmour & Hughsom of Ottawa,
which is situated in the Wilds of the
Gatineau district. and whose body, half
eaten up by. rats, was found1a few days
ago, says the Ottawa correspondent OF
the St. Louis Glebe-Democrat. He died
all alone in the heart Of the Canadian pine
forest, with no other companion save
faithful dog, who attracted the attention
of some visitors to the loHely spot where
the body of his master lay.

in his old age to seek a livelihood as

from Australia where he had found it
to London be became on of the lions OF
that capital and the guest of royalty. Re-

MUNICIPAL CHARACTER OF PRI-
MARY ELECTION BRINGS SOME
INTERESTING RESULTS.
VOTE ON LEGISLATIVE
CANDIDATES is CLOSE
Despite Suddenly Developed Strength
of Heinrich, Haynes Has No Difficulty
in Distancins Hinn-Conroy Beats
Whitcomb, Whom He Charges With
Abducting His Daughter.

For the majority of the Democratic
nominations in Hennepin county, the
result had been a foregone conclusion
for some time.
IN the case of ex-Gov. Lind for con-
gress, it had been known that there
was practically no opposition. 1t was
different, however, in the case of the
m2yoralty nomination.
j. G. Haynes was considered to nave
the best chance to secure the plum,
but the strength developed by Helm
rich was somewhat of a surprise to the
Haynes followers. Haynes, however,
received the nomination by a snug ma
joEity.
One of the closest contests was that
of county attorney. While it was gen.
orally conceded that Than was the
stronger man, it was thought by many
that he had entered the race a trifie
late in the day to catch up with his
opponents A. B. Choate and r. r.
Odell. THAN finally won out by a
small majority.
Contest for Sheriff.
The race for sheriff between Conroy
and Whitcomb was considered by
many as a hard one to pick. Conroy
made a very aggressive campaign and
won out by good margin.
With the exception of some of the
aldermanic and legislative candidates,
the balance of those who sought nomi-
nation on the Democratic ticket were
assured of their securing the nominal
tons some time ago.
On the part of the Republicans it
had been conceded for some time that
Fletcher would win out for the nom1-
nation for congress.
On the mayoralty Powers was con-
coded to have the best show, but he
was not expected to win by such a
large margin over DR.. Henry S. Nelson,
who easily beat all the other candi-
dates. DR.. Ames surprised many of
1hhS admirers by receiving less than 500
votes, as many had anticipated that
he would receive at least 1000.

candidates had entered, Sheriff Dreger

Attorney General of Iowa Sees no Harm

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Sept. 17.-Attor-
ney General G. w. Mullen in an opinion
filed with Gov Cummins today holds that
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway
company, in connection with the Rock
Island reorganization, rae not outside the
powers conferred by, statute nor contrary
to public policy in the legal sense Of the
term. Gov. Cummins, in making public
the opinion, concurs IN it from a legal
vi View eva. point p but adds referring to the
"The thing done is neither merger
nor consolidation. Not a mile of track
nor dollar in value is added to the

Attorney General Mullin says in his
opinion:
pany under the agreement that in con-
s1deration of such transfer the New Jer-
sey, company will deliver to the share
holders of the old Rock Island Railway
company certificates for capital stock Of
the New Jersey company, and when such
transfer Is made the stock of the last
named company is to become the proper
ty Of the new Iowa company to purchase
and hold the stock of the old Rock ISL
and company or invalidate its purchase
thereof.
continues the attorney general sis wheth-
er the state may interfere to prevent the
issuance of the stocks and bonds of the
Iowa and New Jersey companies for the
reason that the aggregate amount pro-
posed to be issued exceeds the market
value, of the stock Of the Chicago. Rock
Island &c Pacific Railway company which
the Iowa. company receives therefor OF
whether it may by quo warranto have
forfeiture of the charter Of the Iowa
company declared on the ground that
such an act is ultra wires and against
public policy"
Relying upon scoville. VS.. Thayer and
other cited decisions Attorney General
Mullen holds that it is clear that in the
absence of statutory provision to the
contrary, a corporation. may issue its
stock and bonds for the purchase OF
property, although the face value of the
issue is in excess of the actual value re-
ceived. The public policy of the state
must be determined by the statute and
judicial decisions of the state and not by
the opinion of an Individual no matter
how eminent.
Tested by this rule" says the attorney
general, "the acts of the Iowa corporation
cannot be said to be opposed to public
policy of the state"
