In a South American mining district Mrs. Brown presented her husband with a 12 pound baby boy. Mr. Brown was so delighted that he went to the News office and told that he had found a 12 pound nugget of gold as good as any to be found in South America. The paper, naturally, sent a reporter to get particulars. This is what happened:
Reporter--Does Mr. Brown live here? Mrs.Brown-- he does. Reporter--Is he in? Mrs.Brown--No he isn't. Reporter--I understand he found a nugget of gold weighing 12 pounds. Mrs.Brown--(Seeing the joke) Yes. Reporter--Can you show me the exact location where it was found? Mrs.Brown--I'm afraid Mr. Brown would object as it is private. Reporter--Is the hole far from here? Mrs.Brown--No, it is quite handy. Reporter--Has Mr. Brown been working the claim long? Mrs.Brown--Almost ten months. Reporter--Was Mr. Brown the first to work it? Mrs.Brown--He thought he was. Reporter--Was the work difficult? Mrs.Brown--It was at first but easier after the shaft opened. Reporter--Is the water plentiful? Mrs.Brown--Yes, sufficient to carry on the work. Reporter--Has he gotten to the bottom yet? Mrs.Brown--No, but quite near it. Reporter--Do you think there are any more nuggets? Mrs.Brown--Yes, if the claim is properly worked. Reporter--Has he worked it since he found the nugget? Mrs.Brown--No, but I told him it was time to start. Reporter--Do you help him? Mrs.Brown--I do my level best. Reporter--do you think he will sell the claim? Mrs.Brown--No, he finds too much pleasure in working it himself. Reporter--Can I see the nugget? Mrs.Brown--Certainly. She brought the baby in for inspection. The embarrassed reporter departed very fast.
