Excerpt from Famous Gold Nuggets of the World In these days of wonderful gold discoveries one is apt to forget the big finds of the past, which set the world wild with excitement and gave such impetus to mining about half a century ago. This brief account of famous gold nuggets will help to revive the memories of the golden days of Australia and California, and to show how history tends to repeat itself in gold mining as well as in other mundane affairs. The data has been gathered from many sources, involving a large amount of research, which extended over the face of the globe. In procuring this information the compiler has corresponded with some two hundred persons, to many of whom he is indebted for whatever credit may be attached to his efforts. He ventures to believe that the result will be found of deep interest to all concerned in mining and mining matters. For much of the material used the compiler is indebted to the Engineering and Mining Journal and American Mining News, of New York; the Mining and Scientific Press, of San Francisco; Mining Reporter, of Denver; Mining Record, of Colorado Springs; the Australian Mining Standard, of Melbourne; Mining and Metallurgical Journal, Los Angeles, California; ex-United States Mining Commissioner R. W. Raymond, and representative mining engineers residing in all parts of the world. With one exception, no mention is made of nuggets found in South America or Mexico, the compiler having been unable to collect reliable data from these countries, excepting as to their gross gold and silver output.

Excerpt from Nuggets of Gold Bret Harte's fancies about early gold discoveries seem to have been far outdone by the recent Alaskan gold fields - lakes of oil, mountains of gold and oceans of pearls. A veritable El Dorado has been opened up. Rumors thereof have thrilled the world. People from all nations, walks and conditions in life have been flocking that way, till homes have been broken up, business abandoned and communities depopulated. This vast army of pilgrims cannot be accounted for simply on the ground of the El Dorado; but rather it demonstrates the susceptibility of human nature to the shining ore, or the "world's treasure." Indeed, human nature hankers after things. Several years ago a Russian princess died in Paris leaving a million dollars or more to the individual that would live in her tomb a year. Several undertook the project, but gave up in despair. Whether the prize has yet been won we never learned.

Excerpt from Golden Nuggets, or Beautiful Thoughts in Prose and Verse: Carefully Chosen From the Literature of the World; Comprising "the Best Things" From the Best Authors; Arranged in Four Parts, Typifying the Four Seasons in the Life of Man What fate awaits thee in the coming strife, What joys, what triumphs in the growing years, What depths of woe and tears? I see thee lie Safe in thy silken cradle, sunk in down, Within thy father's palace-chambers fair; Thy guarded slumbers breathing tempered air; The soft eyes, full of yearning, watching by; Caressing arms waiting thy waking cry; All luxury and state which can assuage Life's painful heritage; l'he prayers of a people swell for thee Up to the careless skies which cover all. And yet it may be thine to fall Far from thy loved and native land, And end thy imperfect, innocent life-tale here, Forsaken on a savage desert strand, Pierced thro' and thro' by some barbarian Spear.

Excerpt from Nuggets of Gold From Memory's Mine Existence is a long-drawn sigh after repose, which is nowhere to be found in this world except through the blood of Jesus. Come unto me, all ye ends of the earth, and be ye saved, for I am God, and besides me there is none other. I will instruct you in the way thou shalt go. I will guide thee with mine eye. For I am the way, the truth, the life, No son of human race. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
