2 NOTES ON NUGGE1,S. Go1d is knowr as a royal metal ; it is also a rare metal, because, although widely distribu ted, it is genera.ll.~r found in small quantities and in fine grains. Occasionally larger lumps or nuggets occur, and these have always created more interest than equal amounts of gold in :--, 'lore divided form. Victoria has not only proved itself a land unusually rich in golj., but nuggets have been more lavishly distributed in this State than elsewhere, :rnd in sizes that have never been exceeded. In the early digging days -~he discovery of nuggets exercised a greater fascination than the wonderful yields of finer gold, and many a languishing rush has been rejuvenated by the finding of a nugget. Owing to the conditions of life on the early gold-fields, it wae more prudent to conceal the discovery of a large lump of gold than to publish it, andj in oonsequeme, the records of nuggets are very incomplete, and it may safely be assumed that lell!i than hiilf of those fouhd were recorded. Many nuggets w1u e found by Chinamen, and aooo1itlts of these were rarely pl'eserved. n occasional lump of gold chopped off a large mass was sold to gold-buyers, but details were seldom divulged. No systetnatio records were kept even of those that were made known, and hitherto there ha11 been no Mmplete list. list has been compiled from several different sources, and every endeavour ias. been made to bring together the essential data concerning all the nuggets that have been recorded and to eliminate such as are doubtful or that have been duplicated. The "" refern d to in this list is a manuscript record that has been kept by the Mines Department. s regards the weights, they are in many cases approximate only, for they were frequently weighed in pounds avoirdupois in the early digging days. "Gross weight '' refers to the total weight of gold, quartz, ironstone, and perhaps clay which together formed the nugget when discovered. "Net weight" is the total weight of the gold in the nugget. " Estimated weight" means the amount of gold a;,sumed to be present after the gross weight has been determined, but before the gold was separated from the other constituents of the nugget. Both itlluvial and quartz reef nuggets are dealt with, It ia intended later on to publish a map showing the distribution of nuggets within the State, and plates of all the models. The bulk; of the work in compiling the list has fallen on Mr.. E. Smith. Formerly an impression prevailed that alluvial nuggets resulted from the aggregation of gold while in the gravels, and that an originally small piece might increase in size and ultimately become a nugget. Such a theory is not borne out by an examination of the surfaces of alluvial nuggets, which invaria.bly show much scratching and r~unding, and the common oc~urrence of angular quartz with the gold does not favour''such a view. Still further evidence against sueh a theory is the frequent discovery of very large masses of gold in quartz reefs, as at Ballarat and else~here. That all the large masses have not yet been found was proved a few years back, when a fine group of nuggets was obtained at Poseidon. Doubtless still more remain to be unearthed. Many nuggets are thoroughly rounded by the action of water; others are water-worn on one side only. Z

3 4 One of the prominent features about nuggets is that they are far more abundant in "indicator" country than elsewhere, such as the area between Ballarat on the south, Wedderburn on the north, Tarnagulla on the east, and rarat on the west. Within this tract nearly all the nuggets have been obtained. Mr. George Foord, chemist and assayer, demonstrated in the early sixties that in any nugget there was very little difference in the fineness of the gold in one part from that in another; but even if there were di:fferences it would not be very remarkable, seeing that it is sometimes the case that in the same piece of quartz there are two distinct qualities of gold. Professor Liversidge, formerly of Sydney University, sliced and etched many gold nuggets with interesting results. The experiments proved that the gold in nuggets wr.s crystalline. It is remarkable that some very heavy nuggets were found not resting on bedrock but sometimes several a bow it in the gravel. Such was the case with the Viscount Canterbury nugget, found at Rheola, as the famous Berlin rush is now named. On this field the gold was so coarse that washing the gravel was not resorted to. The top material-drift, gravel, clay, &c.-was stripped for 10 or 12 to the wash-dirt, and this latter was turned over with a long-handled shovel and thrown back. If there was any gold present it was either seen in the gravel or felt on +.he shovel. Large nuggets have been found lying on the surface of the rocks, as in the rase of those found below the Matrix Reef, Mcintyre's, which weighed 810 and 805 ozs. respectively. The largest of all-the Welcome Stranger nugget-was only a few inches below the Slµ'face, and was discovered in a rut cut by a dray wheel. lthou~h a large mass of gold"" mid offer great resistance to running water when alone, on account of its high specific giavity, if associated with a considerable block of quartz the specific gravity of the whole would be greatlyredljced, and then the two mas11es together might easily be conveyed long distances. Nuggets were transported by the aborigines. No doubt the colour and lustre attracted their attention, but the great weight probably prevented them from carrying nuggets for very great distances. t Watchem a 40-oz. nugget was found at one of their myrniongs, or camping places. Between Mt. Tarrengower and the Loddon another nugget was found that was probably transported by the blacks. l\fany other nuggets have been found in such situations as to suggest that they had been brought there by human agency. Small nuggets hav;e been found in Mallee hens' nests. Quite commonly nuggets contain pieces of quartz or they are sometimes embedded in quartz ; where in contact with the gold the quartz is always angular and just such as occul's in reefs, and not rounded and water-worn as would be the case if the gold had accumulated while in the alluvial deposits. Limonite frequently occurs associated with the gold. of nuggets, sometimes with, at other times without, quartz. The linionite has resulted from the oxidation of iron pyrites that existed originally in the lode. In the case of the Welcome Stranger nugget, the largest found in this State, there wr, 68 lbs. of quartz associated with the gold. small sample of this quartz, shewn by Mr. Deason to the writer, was of a grey colour, and similar to what occurs in the Matrix Reef associated with the nuggets and rich patches along the intersection of the indicator and quartz veins.

4 5 lthough there is no evidence that accretion of gold occurs so as to enlarge the size of nuggets in the drifts, there is ample proof that drift waters do contain gold in solution in some cases. It is also a remarkable fact that the clay near some of the large nuggets found at Poseidon contained impalpably fine crystalline particles of gold disseminated through it, as though the mass of gold had in some way influenced the deposition of this fine gold near it from solution. Nuggets are frequently stained with ferruginous clay, iron oxide, or manganese oxide. There is a tragic side to nuggets also, for in the early digging days the sudden acquisition of more or less wealth in the form of a nugget often caused the mind of the finder to become unhinged. Crimes were also committed to obtain possession of nuggets. E. J. DUNN
