Found a Boulder of Silver.

One of the largest silver nuggets on record was found about four miles from Peach Springs, Arizona,recently. Two prospectors, William Tucker and John Doyle, on their way from Death Valley to the Colorado River, discovered a boulder weighing several hundred pounds and composed of nearly pure silver. The value of the. find is placed at about SIO,OOO. . A watchmaker of Chicago is the owner of a clock the works of which are in the inside of an ordinary wine bottle, and the dial is set obliquely on the top of the bottle. There is quite a mystery attached to this curosity. Several years ago it floated to the shore from Lake Michigan.
