USES CHICKENS TO LOCATE GOLD MINES Californian Gives Tham Free Swing to Scratch Up Nuggeta—Has Three Claims. Weaverville, Cal.—Jamps Bogden has a new method of locating gold mines. He uses chickens and has had such great success that he now owns three placer mines that are making him rich. Bogden killed one of his chickens recently and in the crop he found a nugget worth $3. Instead of killing the rest of the chickens to get what gold might be in their crops, Bogden began to follow the birds on their Journeys each day in their search for food. One old hen led Bogden to a “gravel wash" a half mile from the home roost There the hen beagn to pick up pebbles. Bogden located the place as a placer claim. A rooster pointed out another mining site and a pullet led him to another. All three claims have proved rich in gold. The first panful of gravel netted sls, and Bogden declares he is averaging $7.50 a pan, or slightly more than SIOO a day from the three claims. He does all the work himself. Bogden has rewarded the chickens by building them a new house and feeds them so well they don't have to wander far afield. “When these claims work out, I’ll turn the chickens loose ag-r-' and locate some more,” declared Bogden upon his return from Sacramento, where he purchased a $3,000 automobile. “Chicken raising is the most profitable of all industries,” says one economic writer, and luck goes a long ways toward proving the assertion.
