A nugget of almost pure gold, welgh- ing 12 pounds, was Tecently dlgcov- ered near the Charters Towér mine in Queensland, Australla. For years the Towers of Queensland, which up to the seventles was a desolate tract, too poor and seedy for sheep, has boasted a premier posltfon among Australian gold flelds.. Levels are worked at a depth of nearly half a wmile. This particular find is worth $4,000. A 12- pound nugget is no rgcord; but in most nuggets all is not gold that glit- ters; a 12-pounder of\ “almost -pure gold” is rare. The world's record nug- get came from Ballarat in 1858—2,217 ounces, worth $5,000. . ] . Making Slate Rencils.

The rough materlal is first sayed into suitable pieces and then each plece is cut to standard length, 634 Inches. . The machinery prodwees thé pencils in the form of cylindrical rods. of that length, which are*pointed on emery wheelé by boys, who handle them by twos and threes with great dexterity and rapidity. Finally they are put up in pasteboard boxes of 100 emch. iRl P Subscribe for vThe Daily Pioneer. / | DRUGGISTS T0 HEAR, increasing cooperation between drug- gists and federal officials for enforce- ment of the prohibitibn ‘and narcotic: open$ here 't - The ¢o01 pices of -the Natienal Association Retail Dryggists, will last four di and will idelude in ‘its progra WANTED—Potato pickers. = ME8.
