An appeal urges investing in Nebraska real estate with phrases like round floor and choice investments.

Tales include a New Zealand miner who found gold by a thrown stone, a 75 pound California nugget bought by Adams Express for 17400 dollars, a silver mine uncovered by an antelope chase in Zacatecas, and a large Martin Oliver nugget worth 36270 dollars.
