Everything is moving along nicely at
the Eagle Roller Mills. A large amount
of wheat was received this morning, and
the mill is kept busy. Mr.. Leo Gold
schmidt has worked hard to establish
this enterprise in Tucson, and the bust
ness community should extend to him
a liberal patronage. Communities are
fortunate whose people patronize home
industry, as this is sure road TO gen
eral prosperity. The Eagle Mills turn
out three brands of -four, and they are
rapidly recognized as the best to be had
in this market.
Mr.. W. II. Griffith, of Dripping
Springs, came in yesterday from the
west. He reports cattle in his vicinity

few cattle shipped from that locality
during the past year and Mr.. Griffith
has shipped none, and does not intend
to dispose of any this season. To re-
porter Mr.. Griffith gave it as his opinion
that that there were no encouraging
signs for the cattlemen on the western
ranges. Nothing" said he, ''but an cpl
demic, or war in Europe will give us
better prices. There NAV, now and then,
be a short breeze in the market with
better prices. but there can be nothing
permanent. It is simply case Of over
production" ME-. Griffith has one Of
the stranches in Arizona, well stocked
with fine cattle.
A remarkable snake story current
throughout British India is thus sum-
med up in an trticle on "The Naja-
Kallu, or Cobra Stone" which Professor
II. Hensoldt, Phi. D., of Columbia Col
lege, New York, has written for the
March number of Harper's Magazine:
Some cobras-perhaps one in twenty
are in possession of a precious stone
which shines in the dark. This stone
the snake is in the habit of carrying
around in its mouth, regarding it as a
treaury, which it carefully preserves and
defends with its life. At night the
corba deposits the stone in grass and
watches sit, as if fascinated, for hours;
but woe to him who then approaches,
for the cobra is never more dangerous
when occupied in this manner" The
professor tells how he secured one
of these precious stones by trucking its
serpent owner; and how he accounts
scientifically for the seeming marvel of
THE Nava-Kall."
