DUCKS MINE GOLD
ON WESTERN RANCH
Owner Sprinkled Creek Bed With
Grain &c Encourage Their
Activities.

Beaver, okla There are miners
and miners. but did YOU ever hear OF
ordinary Indian Runner ducks in that
role? No? Well, then. read on.
Joseph Bryson, vino lives on big
ranch on "e1 Mile Creek, southwest
of here, drives up In his automobile
about twice a year to the First Ma
tional Bank of Liberal. Kan. ard
deposits a bag of gold dust. Also Mr..
BIyson is constantly getting in big
shipments of Indian Runner ducks for
his ranch. These things cause some
of the country folk TO call Mr. Bryson
Cold Dust joe" and his ranrh the
"Cold Duck Ranch
For :. long time no one thought OF
coupling the two-the ducks and the
gold dust. Bryson always said al the
bank that the gold dust came from
his claim in Arizona.
Then, it Is said. came the discovery
that the gold dust came from the
ranch on Ten Mile Creek, and that
the placer mining was being done by
the thousands OF ducks on the ranch.
Some of the "old timers" claim that
several years ago Bryson bought
few pairs OF ducks and placed them
on his ranch for the eggs they might
produce. He had no idea that they
one day would be laying golden eggs
for him.
One day, say these old settlers, he
killed couple of ducks for dinner. In
dressing them he was surprised to
find a considerable quantity of gold
dust in their eraws and also lining the
stomach and intestinos. He killed
some more. In nearly every bird gold
dust and fine nuggest were found.
AS the only possible explanation,
they quote the fact that Ten Mile
Creek. as other streams Of the
section, rises in the edge of New
Mexico. II is we'll known that gold
sands from Colorado and New Mexico
have been washed down the streams
and deposited in the sandy soil. The
ducks, in wading about in the mud
occasionally had Gived down, taken up
bill full of mud. literally sprinkled
with gold dust, which stuck to their
craws or lined the walls of the stom-
ach and intestines.
And" says an old farmer. "Bryson
began a systematic propagation of
the ducks, and encouraged them to eat
plenty Of mud. He sprinkled the bed
of the creek with grain and bugs TO
encourage the ducks TO get mouthfuls
of the golden mud. OF course, he had
to kill a good many ducks to get much
gold, but the ducks are easily propa-
gated, and he shipped in many of
them.
"The ducks yielded enough gold to
bank a substantial sum in gold dust
every six months. AS a by-product
the feathers were sold to an Eastern
concern. The carcasses were fed to
swine in the ranch and went far to-
ward fattenins the hogs, with ration
of grain. The ducks gave the pork
a flavor which made his hogs in
