Nowhere does fortune indulge her
love Of the dramatic and the sensa-
tional more fully than in the gold
fields.
Take. for instance, the story of
the discovery Of the world famous
blanche Barley" nugget in the early
days OF Australian gold mining, which
sent a thrill around the world. Sam
uel Napier. sailor. with his brother
Charles and one Robert Ambrose, their
cook and general handy man, had been
digging for gold for six months at
Hangover, about forty miles from Ben
digo, without discovering as much OF
the precious metal as would pay their
living expenses, when one August day.
to tell the story in Napier'S own words:
I'VE had dug down about fourteen
feet to the pipe clay stratum and were
shutting around in the bottom of the
shaft more dead than alive from the
heat. Old Ambrose lit his pipe and
leaned against the side OF the hole to
rest Just then struck something

Among the thousands who flocked to
the Victorian gold fields in the early
fifties were two Cornish miners, John
Deason and Richard Oates. who staked
a claim near the village OF Moliaque
They set to work With vigor. confident
that in a few months they would be
able to retire TO their native Cornwall
rich men, but their expectations were
doomed to cruel disappointment. Not
only months. but many years. passed
and found them still as far removed
from fortune as at the beginning, and
by 1869, fifteen years after they began
their search for gold, they were re-
duced to the last straits. Starvation
stared them in the face.
In despair the miner seized his pick
and wandered away to the outskirts Of
the gold field. and .as he wandered.

NUGGETS OF GOLD

downcaSt and heavy hearted, he no
ticed a CLEAN of yellow in a rut made
! by a peddler's cart. Lifting his pick,
with few frantic blows he brought to
light an enormous nugget. which, with
all his strength. he could barely raise
an inch from the ground. The nugget.
which was soon known the world over
as the welcome Stranger" actually
weighed two hundredweight and was
sold for nearly $4,000.
And these were but a few of the
many similar blocks of gold discovered
in Australia under equally dramatic
conditions. While a native shepherd
named Kerr was tending his sheep one
day his attention was arrested by
yellow rock projecting a few inches
above the soil. In his excitement al
the discovery he ran to fetch his mas
ter. The rock was unearthed and
proved to be a nugget of two hundred
weight. from which 100 pounds Of pure
gold were extracted.
A few years later another monster
nugget made its appearance at Balla-
rat a party of miners had worked
claim TO a depth of sixty yards when
one of them struck with his pickax a
hard, irregularly shaped mass, which
on being unearthed proved TO be a
block of almost pure gold twenty
inches long, foot wide and seven
inches deep. It's weight was almos
one hundredweight and quarter and
it's value $46G25.
1t was the periodical discovery at
Ballarat of these monster nuggets
which first fred the blood Of the en-
tire world in the faraway ifies. But
even Ballarat has no other romance to
rival that of the discovery of two huge
nuggets within a few days in the same
claim. The story runs that four miners
had worked their claim down to about
sixty feet when one of them brought
to light nugget weighing nearly
one hundredweight and worth $27, 800.
In their joy at such a rich treasure
trove the men abandoned the dig
gings and took their nugget with them
to England. They had scarcely left
Ballarat when their successors in the
claim. with almost the first stroke of u
pick. turned over another nugget heav-
Ter than the first and valued at more
then S23 ,0oo
OF NIL the romantic stories told of
gold discoveries in California not one
Is mere remarkable than that of which
Oliver Martin was the hero. For
months Martin and q companion
named Flower had been prospecting
for gold to no purpose. Worn out by
hardships and half dead from starva-
ton, they were on the point of aban-
doning the quest in despair when fate
administered her last crushing blow.
They were Overtaken by terrible
storm. In which Flower was drowned.
Martin, weak though he was, set to
work to dig his fallen comrades grave
| ut the foot of a tree and had dug
down barely two feet when his spade
struck a hard, funyielding substance,
which. to his amazement and delight,
proved to be an enormous nugget, the
largest ever found on the American
continent. The "Oliver Martin Chunk"
as 1t came to be known the whole
world over, weighed 151 pounds 6
ounces and was the nucleus of n for
tune of million dollars which Martin
accumulated in later years.-CRssel's

passenger station at Denrock Tuesday
night and escaped with a f1ve-dollar
bill and SIS in small change. The theft
occurred after IL O'Clock and was not
discovered till morning when the agent
opened the station for the day. A ssu-
picious looking character had been
seen in Denrock late in the afternoon
and he was suspected of being the
guilty person. It was learned that he
had walked to Erie, where he purchas-
ed a ticket for Rock Island. A descrip-
ton of the man was telephoned to the
Rock Island police, but the man left the
train here. Afterward he was picked
up by the local police. He gave his
name as James Gibbons and said he
was from Chicago. He was on his way
to Silvis when caught He admitted
having been in Denrock, but he insist
ed that he had not robbed the station.
He had money-a So and $40 bill and
AZ cents in change. He said he had
earned the money working. Later in
the forenoon Gibbons was released,
The agent at Denrock said that he had
no evidence that the man under arrest
had committed the theft, and that he
would rather make up the shortage
than bother with prosecuting him.
Gibbons insisted that the deal was a
frame-up. He said that persons in
Erie saw that he had money and had
communicated with the police to ar
rest him. He expected to be fined prac-
tically all the money he possessed. He
admitted that he had been relieved of
his money in this manner in other
cities.

ance committee will act and present
an ordinance to the board. The matter
of disseminating free lunches was
brought before the meeting as result
of a request from citizens.

three boys from the home and then
leave the city. The escape of the old
est boy seems to verify the suspicious
grounded some time ago when he es-
capped and at which time the younger
children confessed to having entered
into a plot by which they were to
leave the home and then be taken
from the city. Every possible effort is
now being made to locate the eldest
boy in the hopes of bringing about an
end to the trouble which the three
children have caused the officials. AL
though his mother, who is now en-
ployed at a local restaurant, has been
approached on the subject several
times by the officers, nothing of tan
gible nature can be learned from her.
She tells conflicting stories Of the
whereabouts of the boy and main
tains, for the most part, that she
knows nothing whatever of his loca-
ton In the meantime the two
smaller boys now at the home are
being watched closely so that they
will not be. given an opportunity to
escape from custody.

Saturday evening and from that time
until Sunday evening he wandered
over the three cities, spending con-
Siderable of his time in local thirst
