NEW GOLD FIELDS.
Fnribnult Citizens Said to be Chns

y
Fnribnult Citizens Snid to Be Chns-
Ing the Duck III 8
Faribault, Mimi, Dec. Is. - A few
days ago this city was thrown into q
fever Of excitement by the discovery
of several small nuggets of fine gold
in the crop Of domestic duck. The
duck had been purchased at ,Tuttle's
butcher shop by Mr.. Straub, jeweler
OF this city, who naturally was a good
judge of the precious metal. The gold
was mixed with perhaps two: or three.
Sheaping tablespoonful Of quartz
gravel, showing that the duck had
been feeding on the head Of a snail
stream. Mr.. Straub showed his gold
findings to several well known pros
pectors and miners of this city, and
among them William III. Grant, the
leading mining expert, who at once.
proclaimed it genuine quartz and genu-
inc gold of a very rich kind. This ex-
pert decision raised the excitement and
futile experienced a raid on his stock
of slaughtered ducks and in short
time was cleaned out, and Faribault
AEever in its history could match the
day for duck crop exploiting as was
the 9th day of December, 1896. No
one will tell whether or not they se-.
cured any nuggets. However, the
gold laden duck was traced and finally
it was, proven that it's last feeding
place was in the neighborhoOd Of
Wleatland in this State, and when the
ice is melted and winter gives place to
spring a serious search will be made
for the hitherto undiscovered gold
bearing region.
