FINDS GOLD NUGGET.
Is Found in Chickens Crop by Mrs
Geo. n. Banks.

While preparing a chicken one day
last week, Mrs. George III. Banks of
Douglass street, Houghton, wife of the
superintendent of the Portage Lake
ship canals, found a gold nugget the
size of pea, in the crop. Friends of
the family are now trying TO find the
original resting place of this nugget,
thinking that more can be found where
this one came from.
Mr.. Banks says that when his resi-
dence on Douglass street was COM
pleted he hankered after some of the
simple life that one reads about i'm
magazines. He also had fondness for
the tenderness of ducks and chickens.
He constructed n pond at the rear of
his residence, building il of concrete
and supplying 1t with running water
from one of the streams coming from
the Hurontown springs. He stocked
his back yard with chickens and his
pond with geese and ducks. He also
brought several boatloads of gravel
from the canal for his chickens. IL is
his contention that this gravel con-
tains gold and that his chicken wah
the discoverer of this gold. but con-
trary to general expectations. Mr..
Banks will not become gold pros
pector.
The only regret he harbors is that
one of his geese was not the finder
of the nugget. 1t could then be called
"a golden goose" although Mr.. Banks
does not expect any of his chickens or
geese to lay golden eggs.

e. C. HUNeERFoRp is DEAD.
One Of Pioneers Of Lake Superior Dis
trict Passes Away.

The death Of Edward G. Hungerford,
or chester, Conn, early this month,
at the age of eightythree, removes
one of the pioneers of former indus
tries OF the Lake Superior region. He
heard "the call of the wild" and was
attracted to northern shores in the
early SOS. He was associated with
Charles 7. Harvey I'm the construction
OF the first 500 canal and had charge
of the lands granted for the promotion
of that enterprise. In that connection
he underwent some actually perilous
experience on land and water.
In 1857 he became local manager of
the Pioneer Iron company, when the
furnace at Negaunee was built and op-
Grated by l.. ID. Harvey and Stephen
II. Gay, who died comparatively
short time afterwards. after building
and running the Collinsville furnace
on the site N the present light and
power station. At this time the Ne
gaunee furnace was operated by a
company. among the stockholders in
which Ezra Corning of New York.
Governor Fairbanks of Vermont and
Horatio Seymour of New York.
In 1862 Mr.. Hungerford returned to
his home in Connecticut and in 1867
he organized the Deer Lake Iron
company, personally superintended the
construction Of an iron furnace at
Deer Lake, near Ishpeming, and for a
time it's operations, leaving it in
charge of the late G. II. Hall for "A
time, afterward superintendent of the
Lake Superior Iron company. Among
Mr.. Hungerford's other associates were
III. II. Stafford, now of Newton, Mass,
and B. w. Wright and Geo. p. Cum
mings of this city.
In his home town, he was prominent
in business, civic and religious affairs.
He was president of the Chester Saw
ings bank, held town public offices,
was a member of the state legislature
and of the local Congregational church.
Ever charitable at home, he was nc
tuated by the spirit of philanthrophy
elsewhere. In Florida. where he was
interested in orange culture, he found
ed an Industrial school for negroes at
Eatonville. in memory of son who
died i'm early manhood. He leaves a
widow and two daughters who arc

Institution Will be Erected on
Grounds of County Poor Farm.
1t is Planned to Admit
All Patients
SUPERVISORS APPROVE BONDS
In Future Board Will Make Reserva.
tions for Wagon Roads When
County Lands are Disposed
of To Others.

The Houghton County Tuberculosis
Sanitarium will be located at the
grounds of the county poor farm, over
looking Portage Lake. This was decid-
ed at the monthly meeting of the board
of supervisors held this morning af-
ter a report was received from the
committee which has been empowered
to investigate available sites, recon-
mending that the county poor farm be
chosen. The site meets with the re-
quirements in every way, il being pro-
vided with fine water facilities, and
being close to the poor farm light may
be secured at a minimum cost. 1t
was also decided that patients will be
received at the sanitarium other than
INDECENT patients.
Attention was called to the fact that
the board should make reservations
for wagon roads i'm selling lands, so as
to avoid future controversies. 1t was
stated at the meeting that the county
has frequently sold lands at low rates
and later been forced to buy back n
right of way for wagon roads at a
much higher rate and it was decided to
make proper reservations for this pur-
future.
The application of John Wallis of
the Atlantic mine, to purchase eighty
acres of farm land near the Atlantic at
$40 per acre was approved, as was the
application of Dean l.. Robinson to
purchase 2S0 acres of land about three
miles from Chassell. The purchase
price will be $4S65. Joseph Weiss of
Lake Linden made application to buy
eighty acres of land and the board
granted the application fixing 5000 as
the total cost Of the land. A. Mathews
and Sons applied for timber rights TO
land in section 26, township AZ, range
36 and were granted the privileges de-
sired for three years for $3.50. Action
on the application Off the Cleveland
Cliffs Iron company for mineral rights
for a certain parcel of land in the
southern end of the county was de-
ferred until the county surveyor is ena-
bled to make a survey of the land.
Bonds OF the various officers were
approved as follows: Sheriff James
j. Byers, $4,000; Circuit Court Com
missioner g. Albert Mhrsch. $4,000;
Circuit Court Commissioner Herman
Weider, $4,000; Clerk n. f. Kaiser,
$4,000 and Register of Chancery
Cases n. f. Kaiser. 100000. The bonds
of Treasurer Edgar III. Rashleigh were
not presented at this meeting, but will
probably be approved by the finance
committee during the coming week.
1t was decided to recommend st.

In the prices of meat. eggs. poultry

prices on weather conditions, the
