Eight placer nuggets were found IN
the gizzard of young turkey by Mrs.
T. F. Pollard of Red Lodge on Christ

tain approximately 80 grains OF gold,
valued at So. The news spread IN the
city Sunday and local biologists and
others went to the Paul Cartwright
ranch, two miles north of Red Lodge,
to pan the ground over which the tur-
KEY had fed. Another gold nugget is
reported to have been taken from the
gizzard Of a turkey, being dressed at
Joliet during Christmas. Thirty-five
turkeys from the Cartwright ranch
were shipped to Swift & Company in
Chicago before Christmas for east
ern distribution, and somewhere in
the east are thought to be gold mug

cans by butchers and housewives. Mr.
Cartwright now plans to slaughter the
few turkeys that remain on his ranch
to examine their gizzards for par
ticles of the metal. Mrs. Pollard, hav-
ing lived in Virginia City, at once
recognized the shiny hard objects
while dressing the fowl.

that he believes gold could be found
in paying quantities in the gravel
bench north of Red Lodge. The tur-
keys on the ranch never wandered
more than a short distance from the
ranch buildings, according to Mrs.

and J.. F. Brophy are attempting to
lease a portion of the ranch.
From geological standpoint the
area inspected by local biologists
shows that it is favorable material to
contain placer gold. The bench direct

Plans are under way for leasing sew

view of prospecting on the various
locations. With plenty of water being
available in Rock Greek and with the

Diana decided to discipline herself
by calling on Mrs. Burton. In her
present chaotic state of mind Mrs.
Burton's puritanical point of view
might do her good. Her real reason,
however, was to see if there was
any mail from her sister.
She found Mrs. Burton darning
stockings and cooking beans. There
was something about the plump,
motherly figure in the rocker that
touched Diana. Or perhaps it was
the homely, appetizing odor from
the simmering kettle.
At any rate, she dropped her hat
on the floor and listened like a
