BABY CHICKEN BUSINESS LARGE
Day Old Chicks Successfully Shipped
Long Distances.

The baby chick business bids fair
to reVolutiOnize some aspects of the
poultry business within the next few
years. In magnitude this business
has already assumed vast proper
tions, some of the firms engaged in
it shipping out hundreds of thous-
ands of day-old chickens each year.
From an industry which was at
first viewed askance it has become
an established, successful and repu-
table one. The day-old chickens are
shipped successfully for long dis
tances, and probably as large a pro-
portion Of them live to become thriv-
ing money-makers for their owners
as the incubator-hatched ones.
Many people get their start in this
manner, preferring it to the greater
uncertainties of buying eggs and
Matching their own stock. Some of
the egg farms even go to the extent
OF buying all their stock this way
year after year, finding it better in
the long run to do this than to hatch
it themselves. Others get their start
from reputable concerns, and after
wards hatch their own stock. Prices
as a rdle range from $40 a hundred
and $50 a thousand, varying accord
ing to the grade of stock from, which
the eggs come. Common stock can
sometimes be purchased at five cents
apiece. Better stock sells up to so
cents each. Of course higher prices
are PAID for fancy show stock.

TIGERS BOTH BIG AND LITTLE
The Atlanta Species Now Denominat-
ed Into Wholesale and Retail Sizes.

SO prosperous and we'll organized
an industry has become the operating
OF blind tigers in Atlanta that it now
is classified into wholesale and retail
branches, just like any other line of
business, and when a man is brought
into court to answer to a blind tiger
charge it is no longer sufficient to
state merely that he has been selling
liquor. The Judge wants to know
whether it is by retail or Wholesale,
by bootleg or by barrel
That the recorder proposes to show
no mercy to the wholesaling kind is
evidenced by a sentence he has i'm
posed on E. l.. Winn, a young white
man convicted of extensive opera
tons. He was fined $500, sentenced
to thirty days on the changing, and
held for the state courts under ST.
600 bond.

cook at every ranch has orders to
feed every person who stops there
hungry-and to ask no questions.
Anybody who reaches one of his
ranches at night may stable and feed
his horses, lodge in the ranch house,
and eat with the employees without
charge and without question. A
man who needs meat may kill calf
or a sheep from Mr. Miller's herds,
provided he uses the meat himself
and does not sell it. OF course these
things are more than generosity
they are a protection against the
spite of tramps and the depredations
of thieves; but they indicate pretty
brOad-minded man, too.
He has made concessions to neces-
sity in other ways; he is known by
everybody, and he has to travels
thousands of miles alone through a
wild country. He is frequently held
up and robbed in consequence; but
he never attempts resistance nor re-
ports such incidents to the officers of
the law. If he did the next man who
robbed him would probably kill him.
so he usually carries only a little
money, and charges the robberies to
profit and loss.
Paid Money to Man Who Robbed Him
Once he was robbed in Pacheo
Pass by Mexican, who took 5000
from him. Mr.. Miller knew the man
and reminded him that he was a long
way from home and asked the high
wayman to lend him enough for ex-
penses. The Mexican handed him
back $40 gold piece, and disappear
ed. Several years later Mr.. Miller
saw him on the street in Hanford
and offered him 500.
Il borrowed this from you once"
he said.
Il never saw you before" said the
Mexican.
"Oh, yes you did. | borrowed $40
from you Pacheco Pass three years
ago."
And he made him take it.
But he is a fighter, too. He has
'lawed' more, as the old-timers say,
than any man on the coast. He en-
ploys an attorney in nearly every
town near his ranches, and he will
fight any legal dispute to the last re-
sort.
Water is indispensable in this
semi-arid country. A large share of
Mr.. Miller's land and cattle depend
upon the San Joaquin river, in Cali
fornia, for their water supply. He
owns much of the land that borders
on the river, thus securing riparian
rights" and he took out in early
days a great many patents from the
government to allOtments of so many
miners inches apiece for diversions
of the water from the stream, so that
today he practically owns the entire
flow of one of the largest two rivers
in the state. He has had to fight for
it the most of his life-with armed
bands of cowboys in many instances.
and in the courts all the time-but
he has beaten his last opponent, and
the supreme court finally affirmed
his ownership.

"SCOTTY" OF DEATH VALLEY
WITH OPEN ARMS NEW YORK'S
TENDERLOIN AWAITS HIM.
A Mysterious Spendthrift of the West
Has Another Wad and Is On
His Way East to Spend 1t.

His Way East to Spend 1t.
NEW YORK.-That portion of the
effete east which gives up its time
to taking people in is all at tiptoe
over the news that Scotty, the Death
Valley miner, is starting back for an
other plunge into the gay whirl of
New York. Word comes from Gold
field, Nevada, that Scotty has APP
peared there with $1,000 in his
trousers pockets, and has announced
that his mine over in the secret re-
cesses of the Death Valley has given
up another fortune in gold. He
wouldn't tell where the mine is To-
Gated, but he went to the Goldfeld
railroad station, and said he:
I'm Scotty of Death Valley. I've
got $1,000 in my kick, and more
where l can reach it, and | want to
hire a special train to go to New
York next week. How much'll she
cost?"
Scotty was told that the cost would
be about $4,000. He paid for the
awaiting the efforts of the Goldfield
tailors to make him beautiful before
hurrying on to the metropolis.
1t was five years ago that ScOtty
of Death Valley sprouted into noto-
riety by rushing across the CONT
nent in a special train to spend
100000 in New York. This money
he had dug from some mine that
yields to him alone, for no one else
has ever been able to find it. New
YOrk's demimonde made shameless
love to Scotty. He was allowed to
buy more champagne and Holsters
for chorus girls than any man who
had been playing spendthrift in the
big city in many years. When his
money didn't go fast enough in
corks and glasses he began throwing
it around in the street.
New York's Tenderloin never
knew such a gay two weeks as Scot
ty gave it. Then he suddenly blew
up. He went broke so fatty that he
had to borrow the money to get out
west again, and he had to borrow
mining tools at GoldfieId to work his
secret claim in Death Valley. Six
months ago in Reno Scotty turned up
without sou. His friends shook
their heads then and said that his
wonderful mine had failed. But
with at least 81, 900 and a special
train-and New York waiting-it
looks as though there might be an
other gorgeous outpouring of the
miners gold in the Tenderloin with
in the month.
