Weighs Half a Ton and Found Near ® Rallroad Track !n Arizona, o Examiner.) From Peach Springs comes the story of the finding of a nugget, or boulder, rather, of pure silver, such’as there hac been no record of in the history of ing in the West. The boulder wel about helf a ton and its value ts any- where from $8,000 to $10,000, It was found by William Tucker and, John Doyle, both old prospectors, and ‘they have kept the facts to themselves here- tufore, because of the chance that there was more silver where this lump came from, and they desired to get the best location for themselves before letting the rest of the world into the secret. ‘The find was made on June 15, men had been prospecting In the Death, Valley mining region, and had start across country to the Grand Canyon the Colorado to get into a little pleas anter region for their Summer work. They were camped on the Beach eml- grant road, just where the cut-off comes down over the low, rolling hills to the railroad. track, about four miles from. Peach Springs, and the nugget was lying within 300 feet of the track and not more than 1 feet from the main. wagon road. It projected from the hill- side in plain view of the road, and stood in such a position that more than man had probably sat upon ft to gaze up or down the railroad track, ing exactly similar in appearance to hundreds of other loose rocks in. that region. It had escaped particular not! untll Mr. Tucker came along and rested his hand upon it, But Doyle and Tucker are vid miners, and Tucker especially as struck with the pecullar “feel” of this boulder. He 1s familar with the form of silver known as “black metal,’ found in ihe dolomite Hmestone in th Meseal mine in California, and almost intultively It struck him that here was a plece of the same black metal. had gone out to bring his horses: u mp, when the rock attracted his attention, and, trying to break off frasment, he discovered that the rock was solid metal. He tried to lift .t, bu could not, nd then he went an brought Doyle out to help him, A Uttle digging disclosed a boulder in the snags of an oblong oval, something Ike back of a turtle, about two and a hal fect long, of the same with, and one foot thick. The top was smooth and lustrous, and the under surface was coated with scales of the black metal, Mr. Tucker says the Rugeet has all the appearance of having been thrown up from a great vein and smelted by. | the flow of the lava which abounds tn that region, cooling In the form in which it was found, and this theory 1s borne out py the nnd of at least @ dozen similar pieces, though much smalle: the same vicinity. These pleces of silver weighed from five to fifty pounds each. ‘Tucker and Doyle have located a min- ing claim where the boulder was found, ani intend to sink a shaft aad drift in search of the main vein, Mr. ‘Tucker sail to-day that in 1883 9 piece of smelted silver weighing four ounds was found by William Reo miles west of ach Springs, attracted no attention, the sui being that It had bee ie Mexican smelter and ‘ women from the Florence Mis- _ southerly, shifting sion, in Bleecker street.
