Newa, Of Sept. 8. When the 81 ,T2S mug
get WIS found in 1901 we thought we
wore doing pretty well in the line OF
big nuggets, but the one found this

like tom-cod alongside n king salm-
on.
The nugget discovered today is nearly
ms hlg MS a loaf of bread. 1t is eight in
ches long, three inches thick and nearly
five inches wide. The circumference
measurements made by the writer are
ii 3 inches, II 81 inches another way
and IL IL incheJ another. The Nugget
weighs 1880 ounces and at slS IN
ounce is valued at s3,2s5.0O. The mug.
get has more quartz in it than the other
big nugget found in this vicinity. 1t
Is It massive piece OF beautiful gold.
1t was found by Antoine Lundeu, an
empldee Of the Pioneer Mining com-
pauy, who is operating this claim. Tho
property is bench claim No. D on the
left limit of Anvil, on Discovery claim,
and bel 'nga to Leo Lowenhern, the
Pioneer Mining company, j. r. Parker
