RAT BoNANzA.-A couple of prospect
ors came to town the other day and told
a wonderful tale about an old tunnel a
couple of miles from town they had taken
up, as being filed with rats. When they
first entered the tunnel the rats, which
measured from four to six inches in
length, attacked them and drove them
out. The rodents were there by the
millions. DIR. Bell, who is live and en-.
terprlsing fellow, got few of his friends
and went out on Thursday to take up an
extension to the rat bonanza, with view
of supplying the Chinese with cheap food
who would be employed in grading the
Eureka Il Colorado River Railroad down
through this country. On arriving at the
tunnel, and entering it for about twenty
feet, this army OF brave men, led by the
doctor. started in whooping and hitting
the sides of the tunnel, frightening the
rats away. Being satisfied that the rats
were pretty well frightened and had
hunted their holes, these conquering
heroes advanced some three hundred feet
INFO the enemy's country, when they
were brought to halt by the face of the
drift. During the march two little mice
were killed by the rear guard, who hap
pened to step on them by accident. After
retreating, on arriving ont on the dump,
several empty bottles explained the
reason for the prospectors seeing so many
rats in the tunnel. An extension to the
rat bonanza was not taken up.
