site OF the city Of Helena to prepare dinner
and rest their horses. When they were
ready to resume their Journey, one Of them
happened TO walk down to the stream TO
get drink Of water. It Glanced that he
began mechanically to scratch the gravel
with his hands, after the habit Of prospec-
tors, when to his establishment he drew out
a nugget as large al a gold dollar. A
