THE JOKER NUGGET.
An Incident Of the Early Australian
Gold Diggings.

Among the rich finds in the Austria
liam gold diggings the Joker nugget
ranks among the chief 1t turned the
scale at thirty ounces and was sold for
5000. In size and shape it resembled
q mans hand. thick at the wrist part
and tapering off toward the fingers.
The claim had been good one from
the first, and the owner did not have
to work hard. One day he was reclin-
Ing full length idly searching for mug
gets when he caught sight Of the Joker.
He at once covered it with his hand
and sat up, rather wondering how he
would secure the treasure without be-
ing seen. If the find became known
every man in the field would tramp to
the spot and invade his claim and so
prevent him working. A man in an
adjoining claim looked up. "Found
anything?" he asked. mo. Seen the
color-that's all. Pitch my coat over
to me, will you? It's lying near there.
I want a smoke" Here you are,
mate. But what's the matter? You
look pale. Don't you feel right?" "I'm
all right, only the sun is bit hot" He
was struggling with an insane desire
to laugh, but he got his coat over the
nugget and seated himself on the top
of it. Then laughter overpowered him,
and he became hysterical. Those
about him wondered, but thought the
sun had affected him. In little while
he gained his composure and decided
to 60 to his tent. In lifting his coat
he managed to take up the lump of
gold, and no one knew that he had
found anything. 1t was not until ten
days had passed that the fact was
noised abroad, and even then few
knew the claim whence the Joker
came.
