A Romance of th the Seuth Yuba iver. The following yarn from <. “downeast exchange of recent date is read+ able even if apochryphal : In the old mining days of California five or six men who had come out together from Indiana had aclaim on They were doing fairly well, but nothing to brag of, when one of them, a man named Charles Y. Tooker, whose relatives yet live in Indianapolis made the discovery of the celebrated nugget. It was in the spring of the year, and he was out hunting for roots and herbs to cure a sort of scurvy which had: tuken hold of some of them. Inclimibng up a bank he dislodged a boulder, and as this rolled down it uncovered the nugget. It wasa chunk of crude gold weighing about ninety pounds. It is not likely that the mass was as pure as the average of small nuggets, but still it must have been worth many thousand dollars. The entire bank was .nfterwards dug away, and the neighborhood for half a mile around carefully searched, but without another ounce of gold being found. Tooker wasasingle man about twenty-seven years old, and up to this hour it bad been share and share alike with the little band. His mind was instantly made up to keep his discovery to bimself, and toyet away with his treasure at the first opportunity. He dug a hole and burried the find, carefully marked the spot, and returned to camp and tried to conceal his satisfaction and anxiety. Itwas a month before he made.any move, His object was to get the nugget to San Francisco, and it must be curried on the back of a horse or mule. He had to invent. an excuse for separating from the band and this probably gave rige to the first suspicions, Tooker purchused a mule of a tender-foot, hung around until he believed it was safe for him to depart, and then dug up hia nugget one night and set out on a journey which would not hay been tafe for half a dozen men to undertake. Those were rough days, end men who had met with Poor luck hunting for gold in the earth were on the road as robbers and assassins. Tooker’s companions felt certain he had made g find, and his every action was under. surveillance for several days before he started. He quietly with. drew from camp at night, led his mule to the epot where the nugget was cached, and loading it ona pack-saddle he started off. He must have known the danger of the road, but the desire to convert the big lumpinto gold pieces overcame his prudence. He was followed by two of his companions, but they hardly knew what course to take. He had made a.flnd and was jumping them, but they had no legal right to force a division. . Tooker was followed until duybreak, and the men had about made up their minds to halt him and force him to turn back with his preby four or five footpads. A livel fight ensued, and” Tookér andone: at his pursuers were. killed and the other was driven off. He returned to camp with his story, and this was the firat of a long series of adventures in which the big. nugget figured. Tooker'’s friends determined to. overhaul the robbers, and fivein number they broke camp at onee'and began a -purwuit, The footpads had a camp or rendes-. vous withinafew miles of where the robbery occurred, and the nugget was taken there for safety. This camp was discovered by the Tooker crowd, and in the fight which followed two of them were killed, while only one of the robbers escaped with his life. The nugget had been buried, and although the closest search was made for it the victors failed to unearth it, The robber who ¢acaped made his Way to San Francisco, and six months later set about organizing an expedition to go after the lump. Oneof the men who was toacccompany him got the location of the cache and set out and reached the place two days ahead of the others. The nugget was found, two had a, start ofa day and a half. They journeyed about forty miles, buried ‘the lump near a mining camp, and staked out a claim and went to work aga part of the program to preserve their secret. They remained in camp six weeks, and then left on foot,. their mule having been stolen, What happened to them and the -nugget is not known, or at least has not been stated. The next time the ig lump was heard from: it was unearthed in the Hot Creek Mountains by three miners who had come from. Culifornia.’ The fact . that they dug it up and had it in their + Oaseseion was known to@ band of aixty of seventy immigrants, with whom the trio traveled for several ‘daye, Everybody got a look at the lump, and ite history was related by one of ite Before crossing the line eaget left the train secretly and Were beard of again, It was three years before the nugget was heard of ‘again, and information of its whereIndiin who. was dying at a eae np Colorado, He told a of gsivalry. where it could be found, at the sergeant and two privates deserted. and went to. secure it. They were] « . tracked toa mountain about fifty miles . ss awa: Frat desetots at dA g thing and “headed hands of Indians. Something definite as to its exact location must have been learned this fall, or an expedition would not be preparing to set out at the opening of the Winter. The lost nugget is no doubt the largest masa of crude gold ever discovered in California, and perhaps in the world, and if an expedition of five or six men can succeed in getting possession of it at this tin.e there is a fortune in it for each atid every one. BIBER’S LATEST. The Boss Centidence Man Cut~timg a Swell in Paris. The Transcnirt is in receipt of a copy ofthe Paris paper Le Gauliose bearing date of November 17th, and which contains a lengthy article on the State of Nevada’s mineral exhibit at the World’s Exposition. In the course of its remarks Le Gaulojse has the following to say of the notorious Dr. Biber, indicating that the fellow is still up to his old tricks of imposing on the credulity of honest people: “Around the show cases one could see a little short man with a large frock cout and a large felt hat covering two little piercing eyes; a half doctor and a half pioneer, or perhaps both. Such is Dr, Biber who 1epresented the State of Nevada at our exposition. The greatest part of those minerals are his property. He collected them with patience and diligence showing the deep science of mineral. ogy. This collection represented a considerable value, All this Dr. Biber gives to France to enrich her School of Mines and our collection of minerala in the Museum. We owe some gratitude to this generous savant. Dr. Biber was born in Switzerland at Horgen near Zurich, to which place he is going to return after an absence of thirty years. He left his county without a fortane, but not withoat science. He has become rich in learning. ‘He studied médicine in Paris frat and completed his studies in England. Then he made up his mind togoto America te acquire a fortune. On his way to California he passed through the State of Nevada, where in 1857 he found only & few pioneers and a quantity of Indians, “His profession opened to him all the doors—the Indians everybody knows camp and sleep under the stars. The mines discovered in 1860 attracted many pioneers, Dr, Biber becoming one of them and also becoming a mine owner. If he has not become rich like Mr. Mackay and many others, he has enriched himeelf in science and practical knowledge which permits him to muke this great gift to France.” PERSONAL MENTION. © aecini and Other Netes About Peeple Od and Young. ©.

He had to invent. an excuse for separating from the band and this probably gave rige to the first suspicions, Tooker purchused a mule of a tender-foot, hung around until he believed it was safe for him to depart, and then dug up hia nugget one night and set out on a journey which would not hay been tafe for half a dozen men to undertake. Those were rough days, end men who had met with Poor luck hunting for gold in the earth were on the road as robbers and assassins. Tooker’s companions felt certain he had made g find, and his every action was under. surveillance for several days before he started. He quietly with. drew from camp at night, led his mule to the epot where the nugget was cached, and loading it ona pack-saddle he started off. He must have known the danger of the road, but the desire to convert the big lumpinto gold pieces overcame his prudence. He was followed by two of his companions, but they hardly knew what course to take. He had made a.flnd and was jumping them, but they had no legal right to force a division. . Tooker was followed until duybreak, and the men had about made up their minds to halt him and force him to turn back with his preby four or five footpads. A livel fight ensued, and” Tookér andone: at his pursuers were. killed and the other was driven off. He returned to camp with his story, and this was the firat of a long series of adventures in which the big. nugget figured. Tooker'’s friends determined to. overhaul the robbers, and fivein number they broke camp at onee'and began a -purwuit, The footpads had a camp or rendes-. vous withinafew miles of where the robbery occurred, and the nugget was taken there for safety. This camp was discovered by the Tooker crowd, and in the fight which followed two of them were killed, while only one of the robbers escaped with his life. The nugget had been buried, and although the closest search was made for it the victors failed to unearth it, The robber who ¢acaped made his Way to San Francisco, and six months later set about organizing an expedition to go after the lump. Oneof the men who was toacccompany him got the location of the cache and set out and reached the place two days ahead of the others. The nugget was found, two had a, start ofa day and a half. They journeyed about forty miles, buried ‘the lump near a mining camp, and staked out a claim and went to work aga part of the program to preserve their secret. They remained in camp six weeks, and then left on foot,. their mule having been stolen, What happened to them and the -nugget is not known, or at least has not been stated. The next time the ig lump was heard from: it was unearthed in the Hot Creek Mountains by three miners who had come from. Culifornia.’ The fact . that they dug it up and had it in their + Oaseseion was known to@ band of aixty of seventy immigrants, with whom the trio traveled for several ‘daye, Everybody got a look at the lump, and ite history was related by one of ite Before crossing the line eaget left the train secretly and Were beard of again, It was three years before the nugget was heard of ‘again, and information of its whereIndiin who. was dying at a eae np Colorado, He told a of gsivalry. where it could be found, at the sergeant and two privates deserted. and went to. secure it. They were] « . tracked toa mountain about fifty miles . ss awa: Frat desetots at dA g thing and “headed hands of Indians. Something definite as to its exact location must have been learned this fall, or an expedition would not be preparing to set out at the opening of the Winter. The lost nugget is no doubt the largest masa of crude gold ever discovered in California, and perhaps in the world, and if an expedition of five or six men can succeed in getting possession of it at this tin.e there is a fortune in it for each atid every one. BIBER’S LATEST. The Boss Centidence Man Cut~timg a Swell in Paris. The Transcnirt is in receipt of a copy ofthe Paris paper Le Gauliose bearing date of November 17th, and which contains a lengthy article on the State of Nevada’s mineral exhibit at the World’s Exposition. In the course of its remarks Le Gaulojse has the following to say of the notorious Dr. Biber, indicating that the fellow is still up to his old tricks of imposing on the credulity of honest people: “Around the show cases one could see a little short man with a large frock cout and a large felt hat covering two little piercing eyes; a half doctor and a half pioneer, or perhaps both. Such is Dr, Biber who 1epresented the State of Nevada at our exposition. The greatest part of those minerals are his property. He collected them with patience and diligence showing the deep science of mineral. ogy. This collection represented a considerable value, All this Dr. Biber gives to France to enrich her School of Mines and our collection of minerala in the Museum. We owe some gratitude to this generous savant. Dr. Biber was born in Switzerland at Horgen near Zurich, to which place he is going to return after an absence of thirty years. He left his county without a fortane, but not withoat science. He has become rich in learning. ‘He studied médicine in Paris frat and completed his studies in England. Then he made up his mind togoto America te acquire a fortune. On his way to California he passed through the State of Nevada, where in 1857 he found only & few pioneers and a quantity of Indians, “His profession opened to him all the doors—the Indians everybody knows camp and sleep under the stars. The mines discovered in 1860 attracted many pioneers, Dr, Biber becoming one of them and also becoming a mine owner. If he has not become rich like Mr. Mackay and many others, he has enriched himeelf in science and practical knowledge which permits him to muke this great gift to France.” PERSONAL MENTION. © aecini and Other Netes About Peeple Od and Young. ©.
