25 pounds Of fine, shipping galena was

Mr.. Brice, who lis an,expert 10 min

from an open cut on the ledge Mt a
depth Of seven feet. The ledge shows
q width averaging over IL feet. It
Is signidcent on account,of its being
the first made In that part OF the

A Big Nugget.

A great gold nugget. valued at
sa276, the largest ever found ln Alas
ka or the British /: Yukon, has been
taken from a Nome claim. 1t was
seven inches long by four and auar-
ter inches wide. It weighs 1872 ounces
aud was discovered September 8.
The rich gold piece nestled In d
gravel bed covered with two feet Of
glacial Ice aud over the Ice lay three
feet Of muck. The ice and muck
were removed by ground slulcing.
The tiiscoverer had started to use a
pick. Presently he let drive and the
polnt OF tho pick imbedded itself In
the soft substance OF the nugget, In
withdrawing the pick he hauled up
the nugget. With single blow he
had sunearthed a small fortune,
though unluckily not for himself,
The tind created sensation ia the
town of Nome; where It was taken
and placed on exhibition. The claim
which produced the nugget Ia owned
BY Cashier Cowden OF the Alaska
Banking s Safe Deposit company Of
Nome, and several Of the clerks In
that institution.
Numerous valuable nuggets have
been found In Nome, Klsndike and
other districts Of the north, but none
approaching this chunk OF native
gold, says the Seattle Post-Intelllg--
encer. The Anvil creek claims and
benches have been most prolific of
such treasures, but their value singly
never equaled $1,000. Klondike pro-.
duced one worth about $llO0, and
Atlln gave up specimen valued at
5000.
