A Miner’s Luck.

Montana’s Erickson is a miner living near Hassel, the mining camp located in the vicinity of Diamond Hill mine. Last Friday, while passing through a dry— gnjch that branches from the main or St. Louis gulch, he found a nugget of gold that, as nuggets go, was a regular Jumbo. His foot struck a yellowish object lying on the dry Band bar. It emitted a dull sound, different from that made when one’s toes collide with a small rock. The nugget was weighed and the estimated value was $442.
