Where Did Chicken Procure the
Gold?

On the farm of Sebastian Zwick-
ell, nine miles northeast of Eden,
one of the many chickens OIL the
place was killed about two weeks
ago to help provide part of the
Sunday dinner. While preparing
the fowl a strange substance was
discovered in its craw, which was
not of the ordinary gravel general
ly gobbled UP by chickens to help
digest their food.
1t attracted the attention of MIR.
Zwickel who took the sample and
had 1t sent to an essaver, whose re-
port has not yet been received.
There is thot to be large per
cent of gold and copper in the
specimens. This would not be so
very strange, as the place where the
chickens are kept is OIL stony and
sandy piece of ground, thru which
a creek connecting Roy lake and
Clear lake runs. 1t is a we'll known
fact that as a general rule fowls do
not go very far away from home;
so 1t may be that MIR. Zwickel S
land does contain gold and copper.
We are informed that MIR. Zwick-
el sold large quantity of gravel to
the 500 Line for ballast OH the F..
& V. branch. If this is true, no
doubt there will be no scarcity of
men to work on the track during
the coming season, as anyone of
them may turn up nugget of GOLD
at any moment while putting the
track i'll passible condition. Let
us hope that all reports are true.-

shipped almost daily to the Red Cross
commission in Europe to aid the strick-

board and the leading steamship and

has taken a personal interest in it.
Practically all the cargo space needed

has been given free by the steamship
companies and the allied governments.
This will only be used for supplies
