ee "FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1935. Se die NEVADA CITY NUGGET. ~_ JEFF CASSERLY TELLS STORY OF 11 LB, NUGGET In the current issue of the California Mining Journal, Jeff Casserly tells his own story of his receni finding of a nugget weighing eleven @ pounds: “Modesty prevents me from crowding myself before the public but whenever I get too old to dream of golden nuggets, call the coroner. That eleven pound nugget bobs up again and gets bigger and. bigger every day. It soon will be one hundred and eleven pounds, maybe. As it appears to be of some interest to the mining fraternity and to the public also, perhaps a short story of the find may be acceptable. I just stumbled on to it and it took four men to pack it out of the canyon up to the highway and had to get a wheelbarrow to wheel it into Nevada City. Nobody could handle it, said it was too much at one time so returned it, so then I had to saw it in two and 1 sawed it and sold the sawdust for $1000 cash. Not so bad for one nugget. “T guess a great many people think that I am lucky, and they run away with ‘the idea that I don’t have to work for what I get. Let them try it. They haven’t the will, ambition, desire. or energy to roam the hills, mountains, ravines and valleys year after year, all alone and go through all kinds of privations, such as laying down among the rattle snakes with only the blue sky for the 'covering. Let me tell you one thing, you don’t find these nuggets around road houses, beer-joints or beauty parlors. Oh no you don’t.” “T follow the rich placers which have been worked in early days and being a: close observer, I keep on the lookout for strays, over looked by the pioneers. I do not consider this nugget of extraordinary importance. I have been finding nuggets all my life, beginning in Sierra county 50 years ago, and-believe me they don't pop up out of the ground like mushrooms when they see me coming and say, ‘Here I am and take me homee,’ I found a gold-silver nugget north of Patkard, Nevada, which . netted me-several thousand dollars and one east of Manhattan, Nevada, that netted me about the same value, and one in Mexico near a place discribCOUNTY HOSPITAL ANNEX [Tifteen men started excavating for the new addition at the county hospital Thursday,; morning. The new wing will be two: story and the same dimensions as the other two buildings. The Nevada County hospital has been overcrowded for sonie time and the new quarters will greatly relieve this condition. ed by Arthur Brisbane in the Examiner. “All you have to do is go out and look for them.-I: don’t know how long to hold one to this gem. It looks like I will have to apply to the governor for a detachment of marines to. guard it. So far, about nine thousand have tried to get’ their claws on it( the way they expressed it). One enterprising lout stole it out of the automobile while I was lighting a cigarette. When captured he said he wished to make his girl friend a stick-pin for Christmas. T have had innumerable offers of grub stakes and partnerships, but I prefer to be alone and an independent operator. Several] large pieces of gold have been found near around the surface at different times. BB. Lewis found one of ten pounds on the hillside of the Docile Mine at Alleghany in 1867. Frank Labadie picked up one under a manzanita bush near Dobbins, value about $800 and Porphry Smith found a gem in French Ravine, Alleghany, after the ravine had been worked out. My next field of operation.will be “along the rich ravines of Nevada and Sierra counties, when nothing less than a tractor will be able to haul my next nugget into town. I have done some scouting and prelfminary work along the Pike Bell trail about 10 years ago and had a lay on the Lost Emigrant. Mine, two and a half miles north of Auburn. It took Bell to find big nuggets at or near the top of the ground. The story told me was, that when a hole got too deep that he couldn’t shovel out of it he dragged his freight to other parts. Here is where he over looked a bet. Like the Dutchman he should have run two feet further. “TI consider Nevada. and Sierra counties "the land of golden opportunities and pray that it will be my good fortune to wander again along the golden sands of Pactolus of those counties and prolong my _ sojourn among the sunny climes. blossoms and gold.” QUART (Jefferson Casserly.)
