Among the rich finds In the Austria
lian 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
a mans hand. thick at the wrist part
and tapering off toward the fingers
The claim had been a 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 his working
man in an adjoining claim looked
up Found anything?' he asked. No

you are, mate. But what's the mat
teri 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 overpow-
cred him. and he became hystericaI
Those about him wondered. but thought
the sun had affected him:
In little while he gained his com.
posure and decided to go 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
