years
ago. It weighed 24 pounds, and is supposed to have contained nearly
$4000 in gold. A hired man found and stole it, but repenting, gave up to
the owners in a month or two over $2000 in small bars--all he had left
of the big chunk. In the same mine, about a year ago, a nugget worth
$2190 was found. Montana's largest nugget was one found by Ed. Rising at
Snow-Shoe Gulch, on the Little Blackfoot River. It was worth $3356. It
lay twelve feet below the surface, and about a foot above the bedrock.
Colorado's biggest nugget was found at Breckinridge. It weighed 1
pounds, but was mixed with lead, carbonate, and quartz.

Try it for just one wash. Ivory Soap costs a little more, but it takes
less to do the work, and how much whiter clothes are when they have been
washed with it.
