History of the Big Nugget of
Gold

EDITOR GAzATTE:-Probably tn
history, as told by George Franci
Train, of gold nugget, a fac
smile of which is in the museum
Of Washington and Lee University
would interest some of your readers
During my stay in Australia, ht
writes, the gold fever was at It'll
height. There were lucky and un,
lucky miners, as there have beer
everywhere else in the worlds golc
fields. Many found great nuggets
that contained fortunes, while
many more found nothing but in
finite hardship and heart-breaking
misery.
Among the army of broken men
there was a "hobo," named Hooli-
gan. who had not found any gold,
could no longer find even work,
and was starving. One day he
went to the owners of a mine or
shaft that had been worked out,
and asked permission to go down
and try his luck. The desperate
fellow took his pick and descended
to the bottom of the shaft.
In few minutes he was worth
a fortune. He had found the big
gest nugget ever taken out of the
earth's treasure-house. Two hun
dred feet below the surface of the
ground he had driven his pick, by
the merest chance, against lump
of gold that would have transmitted
Midas's wand into better metal.
He came up out of the shaft, know
ing he had found pretty big sum,
but did not realize how much it
was. The nugget was brought
out and weighed. 1t had exactly
the weight of a barrel of -four, 1876
pounds. He was rich. That morn
ing he had been beggar, and now
be was the richest man in the
fields. They weighed the gold
carefully, and told him he was
rich man. '1s-all-that-mine2
he asked, as il the words were as
heavy as the big nugget and as
valuable. They told him it was.
''It does not belong to the govern
ono" Gall mine" he
said, in whisper, and dropped to
the floor dead.
No one knew him. His name
,ven was not known. He was
mere restless wanderer on the face
If the earth, and had broken his
leart over the biggest nugget, the
'ichest piece of gold on the globe.
And so the nugget became the
property of the government after

United States in Control OF
Cuban Government

CUBAN government
Secretary of War Taft on Satur
day last issued proclamation de
claring himself provisional COVER
nor of Cuba, and thereby that
island came under the provisiona
government of the United States.
He landed in Cuba with United
States troops, and the insurgents
could but obey his mandates
representing as he does the author
| ity of the United States govern
ment.
following is the text of tbs pro-
clamation, which was published in
the Official Gazette and Thousands
of printed copies OF the document
were distributed in Havana and
elsewhere:
ITO the People OF Cuba:
1.-THE failure OF Congress to act on
the irrevocable resignation OF the Presi
dent Of the Republic of Cuba, OF to
elect a successor, leaves the country
without a government at time when
great disorder prevails and requires
that, pursuant to the request of Mr..
Palma, the necessary steps be taken In
the name and by the authority OF the
President Of the United States to
restore order and protect life and pro-
perty In the Island of Cuba and tho
island and keys adjacent thereto, and
for this purpose to establishe therein
a provisional government.
'The provisional government here
by established will be maintained only
long enough to restore order, peace and
public confidence by direction OF and
in the name OF the President of the
United States, and then hold such
elections as may be necessary to de-
termine on those persons upon whom
the permanent government OF the re-
public should be devolved. In so far
as is consistent with the nature OF a
provisional government established un-
der the authority of the United States
this will be Cuban government, con-
with the constitution OF Cuba.
1.-THE Cuban Gag will be hoisted as
usual over the government buildings
Of the island; all the executive depart
ments and provincial and municipal
governments, including that of the
city Of Havana, will continue to be ad-
as under the Cuban re-.
public. The courts will continue to
justice, and all the laws not
IN their nature inappicable by reason
Of the temporary and emergent chArac-
5er Of the government, will be in
force.
president Roosevelt has been anx-
GUS to bring about peace under the
constitutional government OF Cuba, and
le made every endeavor to avoid the
PRESENT step. Longer delay, however,
would be dangerous in view OF the
resignation OF the cabinet.
Until further notice the heads Of
III the departments Of the central gov
'rnment will report to me for instruc-
ions, including General Alexandra |
Rodriguez, in Command of the rural |
yards and other regular government
orces, and General Carlos Roloff.
reasurer Of Cuba.
Until further notice the civil gov
rnors and alcaldes will also report to
ne for Instructions.
II ask all citizens and residents OF
'uba to assist me In the work of restor-
ng order, tranquility and public con-
dence"
