Got a Hundred Pound Nugget.

John May, the Klondiker, whose expected return here to visit relatives was recently mentioned, arrived on the 10:55 a. m. train Wednesday. He has been in the Klondike three years and owns a good claim near Dawson City and is understood to have done well with it. He made his best strike however since his return to “the states.” Namely at Westfall, Oregon, where on Nov. sth, he secured a nugget weighing about 100 pounds, and valued by him at more than that weight of the purest gold- The nugget’s name is now Mrs. John May, but previous to the date above mentioned was Miss Ella Wagner. It, is needless to say that John brought his augget with him, and together they are visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James A. May, about twelve miles southeast of town.
