NUGGETS IN TURKEY'S CROP.
The village of Rossport, on the north shore of Lake Superior, 118 miles east of Fort William, has been seized with a gold, fever. The immediate cause rests with a turkey which was given to Mrs. C. Gerow, ,of .Rossport, as a Christmas present by the Nipigon Bay Fish Co. When Mrs. Gerow cleaned the bird she found in its- crop two gold nuggets each the size of a large bean and estimated to be worth close to ten dollars apiece. The delighted lady told her neighbours, and immediately a score of amateur sleuths have set to work to trace tho origin of the. golden bird. It is believed this turkey was one of a lot of birds which were raised by local farmers, and it is likely that all the gravel beds on farms within the area whence they came will be dug over.
