of west point p e i created considerable excite ment throughout the maritime prov inces a big boost in land values of the locality where the gold was said to have existed ocurred but the gold did not pan out to expectations and the excitement abated the value of farms in the vicinity reverted back to normal prices of good farm lands but now real gold has been found not long ago while one of the house hold of neil boulter of west point was preparing a fowl for the table a large nugget of almost pure gold was found in the crop of tho bird mr boulters nephew howard living stone war present when the gold was found after he returned home he told his mother of the circumstances and ex pressed wonderment as to where the gold could have come from his mo ther then related the following when my grandfather boulter came from england he settled where neil now lives he had some gold coins which were kept in a corner cupboard these disappeared but were afterwards found by the grand daughter to whom they were then gi ven she rolled them up and again put them in the cupboard some 48 years ago they finally disappeared it is believed they were gathered up with waste paper and thrown into the stove and later the melted gold was taken out with the ashes and nell boulers hens have become gold dig gers under the chestnut lewis milligan in the stratford beaconherald under the spreading
