SOME MAMMOTH NUGGETS.
Fortunate Miners Stumbled Upon
Them Purely Accidentally.

Nearly all of the nuggets picked
out OF the gulch at Nome are small,
though an occasional specimen
weighing a pound or two has been
found, says the Boston Mining Re-
view.
In Australia, which is the home
of the great nuggets, there have
been found some large ones from
time to time. The greatest Of these
was ,the "Welcome," which was dug
out June Is, 1858, by party Of
"a men working at Bakery Hill,
Ballarat, at Il depth of 180 feet, p
inches long by a foot in thickness
and weighed nearly 1856 pounds.
1t was almost pure gold through,
out and was sold for $52 ,O00,500.
The "Welcome Stranger" was
unearthed February 5. 1859, near
Donolly, Victoria, by John Deason
and Richard Oates. 1t weighed
22OO ounces and was found lying
in loose gravel, barely covered,
twenty-one inches long and ten
inches thick. It contained some
quartz, but the great body of it
was solid gold. The lucky miners
heated it in the fire of their hut to
reduce it's weight and gave away
bits of it, but the Bank of England
eventually paid $4,000 for what
remained.
In the early years of the 10Th
century a squatter named Reed
had cleared a piece of land in Ca
barus county, N. c., and built a
hut of logs. He and his family
were pretty near to starvation
when, one day, his childsen were
playing on the banks OF stream
and saw big yellow stone. They
took it home and it was used for
quite a while to keep the door OF
the family hut open. 1t weighed
Is pounds. Reed finally sold it to
a goldsmith for 1925, but it was
actually worth over $4,000. The
mountain, at the foot of which it
was found, subsequently proved to
be enormously rich in gold.
The largest nugget found in CAL
ifornia was the so-called SOLVER
Martin Chunk" which weighed
over 151 pounds, and when melted
into bullion brought $36.27O. 1t
was discovered near Camp Corona,
in Tuolumne county, November Is,
1854, bv a poor miner named Mar
tin, who, with a companion named
Fowler, was tramping up the coun-
trv to find new diggings. One
night they camped in a mountain
canyon and cloudbulst came,
drowning Fowler. Martin, who
narrowly escaped, buried the body
of his friend by the roots OF tree,
and in digging came upon the huge
nugget, which later became the
nucleus Of large fortune.

Some of the daily newspapers
print very absurd things when
tney touch upon mining matters.
The New York World, in it's issue
of April II, prints colored pictures
of some of the big gold nuggets
that have been found. One of the
pictures represents young girl
holding one of these famous ones OF
Australia, and which, as the leg
end appended to the picture states,
was worth $50, ,34O.| That young
Girl must have been a daughter OF
Hercules, or possessed OF, ut least,
Herculean strength. That was q
detail that the editor of the New
York World overlooked, otherwise
he would have realized how absurd
it was to represent a young girl
holding in her hand a lump Of gold
that mnst have weighed over 140
pounds'-L. A. Mining Review.

The copper market of the coun-
try is beginning to realize that it
must take notice of Arizona cop

view makes the following statement
concerning the clipper industry:
Hitherto they have turned up
their superb Bostonian noses at
Arizona copper, 'all boom,' moth
ing in them,' and so on down all
the gamut. Now, they are weep
ing, wailing and gnashing THEM
BOstonian teeth over their blind
ness, and in order to prevent fur
ther increase Of grief they are max
ing a graf grab for Arizona stock
in away that is beautiful to behold
"Reports from Boston 60 to shos
that the Shannon Copper Compan
is doing fairly well with it's mine
in Arizona, better than some otl
ers who started off with greater eN
pectations. Yet, Judged by figure
the ore can hardly be characterize
as being very rich, the average I'D

which was named as the defenda
in the suit, maintained that Heir
had no extralateral rights to
Rarus ground. Judge Clancy
cided otherwise and the supre

Memphis, July a.-(Special. )-Breiten- stein made his first appearance since his suspension expired for his attack on Um- pire Sorber and the rest must have done him good for the Alabama batters failed to make much headway on his curves in any inning. Keenan was Bretenstein's s opponent and although he let the locals down with seven hits they came at op- perfume times and majority of five were earned. The visitors made more errors than hits. Harry Vaughan nailed a liner that might have stretched itself in- to a homer but for the obstacle en- countered in high grass In right center. This happened in the first inning and while 1t was the first hit of the game it was a long time between smashes, as the other innings were traversed without scratch until Duffy planted a single in the final round.
 Something was wrong with the aim of several Birmingham players. Duffy sent liners oyer the diamond three times but in each instance they were pocketed by some outfelder Vaughan sent c. Miller chasing fencewards in the fourth, but Miller held on to the ball In the sixth inning Dungan stationed himself in the way of a drive from Vaughans bat. The bunting branch of the visitors game was also out of working gear for the usually reliable Miller popped a couple of flies to Werden, attempting to dump them on the carpet. Accorsini also took some of the energy out of the visitors when he raced under three fouls
 Birmingham was first to score After Duffy had been retired in the first in- hing Bretenstein based Smith on balls. Vaughan followed with his hit which scored Smith, but stopped in the high grass in c. Millers patch Vaughan reached second and remained there as ed to first. But three visitors reached first base after the first inning. In the fourth Millerick was passed but was doubled up with Lawler on the grounder to Breitenstein. Kanzler reached first on Phyles tumble but died there in the fifth as Miller filed to Werden and Keenan struck out after Mcguire had been thrown out by Glenn. Duffy singled in the ninth but Smith, Vaughan and Millerick could not help.
 Glenns pass, Evans sacrifice. Accor- sinis out and c. Miller's two-bagger brought in two runs in the Memphis sec ond inning and three were added in the fifth on Brit's double and three singles.
