 Jeff Bland. of the Sandy, comes to hand with the first snake story of the season. He says that while walking up the canyon near Shipps ranch, and at some distance from the house, he was startled by .the warning rattle of the dreal leG rattle-snske, and, upon exam ination, found a number of the genus crotilus on a ledge in the side of the canyon. Firing bis pistol ct his snake ship he was mortified to see heap, of what he had supposed to be choyas, rise up a wriggling mass of snakes. There were big snakes, little snakes, long snakes, short snakes, thin snakes and fat snakes all working their articu.. lated attachments to the best of their ability. Jeff called into them with vim and had the satisfaction of dis patching about twenty-eight of the vi cious serpents before they gained the shelter of the rocks. On his return to the ranch he exhibited 6 hatful of rat ties as trophies of the battle The next morning several parties went out from the ranch and succeeded in killing about one hundred O. the vensmous reptiles. The Indians have known of the den of rsttlers for years and have always given it wide bsrth.-Mohavs Miner.
