he paid by the settlers In ten annual
installments. This project illustrates
the advantages of having irrigation
plants built by the federal govern
meni. 1t would be impossible to find
water In Nebraska to reach the land
in question, while all tha, Is needed
can easily be caught and stored over
the border in Wyoming.
These six projects nave been com.
menced and rapid progress is being
made upon them. The seven similar
projects in California. Montana, North
Dakota. Oregon, Washington and Wyo-
ming. noted in the table above, are
still In the preliminary stage. The
surveyors are at work and their re-
ports are beginning to come in. Thus
far 1t appears that all OF those con.
iemplated can be carried out without
physical difficulties, and before the
end of next year 1t is believed that
the present work under the irrigation
bureau will be doubled in extent and
importance.

GREAT FINDS.
Rich Gold Fields Discovered by Ac-
sident-LargeH Nugget Found in
California by an Indian.

Most of the great gold fields have
been discovered entirely through ac-
cident, says tine New York Herald.
The romances connected with tneir
discovery have been brought to mind
b ythe story which comes from Eng
land of the young man on his way
home from New Zealand with for.
tune which came to him by accideM
He Is the son OF billposter who
found his way to New Zealand and
worked in the mines. One day, while
standing on the edge of creek, he
picked up stone to throw at bird.
A glance at the missile proved to be
the clue to rich mine, OF which the
young man sold his share for $375. 900
The largest nugget ever found in
California was discovered by half
breed Indian In brook where he
was washing his overalls 1t was al.
most pure gold and weighed over
seventy-1ve pounds. The Adams Ex-
press company paid $17.400 for IT,
Among the mining exhibits ut the
Worlds fair was nugget worth 81.
200. A woman had picked It up to
throw at her COW; but seeing the col
or and weight. she thought better of
1t and took 1t home.
Another romantic little story, not
without its patnos, Is told of the IA
mous' Olive Martin nugget. Martin
was miner whose partner had died
He was digging the grave In shady
sport at the base of cliff. when his
pick struck something hard. 1t proved
TO be nugget which weighed $50
pounds. and sold for $36,270.
The famous silver mines of Zacate-
cas-, Mexico. from which 100000, 900
worth Of ore has been taken, were dis
covered In 8 remarkable way. An In
dian in pursuit OF an antelope was
climbing the steep slope of hill and
sliced a bush to 1nelp himself up. The
plant gave way and revealed beneath
the roots rocks which proved to be al
most pure silver. One of the richest
mines in the Antilles was the outcome
of a rabbit chase. An Indian was nunt-
ing rabbits one day. when one OF them
was chased by his dog into hole
in the hillside. The Indian started to
dig the rabbit out, but before he had
snoveled half dozen spadesfull OF
earth found, TO his delight. that he
was literally shoyeling silver.
