Roof Garden Prize Nugget
Has Twenty-Year History
At midnight, December 8, at
the High School Gymnasium, a
huge, solid gold nugget will be
given away to some lucky person.
This nugget is not just an ordi
nary nugget because it has a his
tory. Twenty years ago during the
summer mining season, this nug
get was found in the sluices at
Quigley’s mining ground an Big
Hurrah Creek in the Solomon
area by Rube Cremer, local pio
neer.
He states that the flash of yel
low almost blinded him and that
he had to put on colored glasses
before picking it out of the sluice
box. All the miners in that area
stopped operations and came to
see this wonderful brilliant ob
ject. After hours of debate as to
whether such an object could be
gold, the Solomon miners decided
that it was gold in the purest
form.
Since that time, Mr. Cremer
has carried the nugget covetously
and continuously in his pocket
and now he has kindly consented
to turn it over to the Pioneers for
-their Roof Garden.
So, folks, be sure to be at the
Pioneer Roof Garden, December
8, because someone will be the
proud owner of this nugget before
the evening is over.
Three other valuable prizes will
be on display in Polet’s Store
this coming week so stop by and
see for yourself.
