The Prize Snake Story of the Year.

"Did you ever hear of the remark able presence of mind displayed by McJnnkin's tame rattlesnake?" ask ed the snake editor.
 "No," replied the horse editor.
 "McJunkin was out hunting one day and he came across a rattle snake on which rock had fallen accidently in such way that the reptile could not get away. Being a humane sort of chap, he lifted theF rock and released the snake, which expressed it's gratitude in a few joyful rattles and then wriggled away"
 "Is that where the presence of mind came in?"
 "No; I am coming to that. A year or so after McJunkin was hunt ing in the same locality and was startled by hearing the peculiar noise of the rattlesnake. Turning he found one of the reptiles follow ing him, and recognized the one he had been kind to a year before. The snake seemed very glad to see him, and followed at his heels like a dog. McJunkin was struck by this remarkable case of gratitude in a creature supposed to be total ly devoid of that quality, and he took the snake home with him. Al ter extracting its fangs the snake was permitted the freedom of the house.
 "0ne night McJunkin heard a noi;3 in the room below, where his safe was standing. Going down to see what the trouble was, he found burglars at work, but they pomptly gagged him. Mrs. McJunkin fol- lowed her husband down stairs, and rushed to the window to give the alarm. She had opened it about four inches, when she, too, was seized and gagged by the burglars.
 About this time the snake, which had been asleep under the fire, crawled out. It saw at glance that the man who saved it's life was in dire distress. Wriggling rapidly toward the open window, it climbed a chair, thrust it's tail out into the street and made such loud rattle that the police arrived before the burglars could get away, and both were captured. ."---Pittsburgh Chron- icle,

H. W. Brizzee, of Mesa City, lately sold a Durham grade COW that is bright example of what alfalfa feeding is capable. The an- imal was five years old, had been reared by MT. Brizzee and had nev- CT been fed on anything but alfalfa, being taken from closely grazed pasture to the butcher. As live weight the COW tipped the scales at ITO pounds; dressed, the four quarters weighed 1910 pounds. The meat was of superior quality. Itis doubtful if this weight of dressed meat from a COW was ever equaled. Republican.

Why Railway Building is Dull.

The returns of gross and net earn ings of the railways during the past year show that other influences are
 at work beside too great existing
 mileage to check the increase of
 new railways. The chief of these is the difficulty in maintaining rates at profitable standard. The Fi- nancial Chronicle in a statement covering the gross and net earnings of one hundred and sixteen roads, shows an increase in gross earnings of $H,000,000 over 1889, while the increase in net earnings is but $8,- 100000, a gain in gross earnings of upward of s per cent and ill net earnings of only 4 per cent. In other words, the natural growth in business has been large, as was to be expected, but the interminable railway wars have reduced rates be- low the profitable point. If the roads already built are compelled to do a constantly increasing busi- ness at constantly decreasing rate either from too much competition or because of unfriendly State or National legislation, investors will be slow to engage in new railway enterprises, especially as new rail- ways will tend to still further de- crease profits by increasing compe- tition. As things look at present the railways, instead of growing up with the country, are likely to wait awhile for the country to grow up with the railroads. This will not prove an unmiXed evil. The United States are already better supplied with railways than any other coun- try in the world. Railway manage ment is in very chaotic state, how ever, and while new railway enter priscs wait, perhaps the managers of existing railways may lealn how to carry on their lines with due re- gard both for the rights of the pub lie and the interests of the stock holders. Cut-throat wars will not furnish living profits for the stock holders, and exorbItant local rates will not tend to increase the friend Illness of the public toward the rail ways.-Philadelphia Times.

The shot came it is supposed from Dine's pistol, but whether il was accidental or not no one seems to know. There are several stories aaoat; something definite will pro- bably be developed at the examina- ton of Dimes on Monday. He has been arrested and is held under $1, ; GOO bond.

What is 1t!

Antonio Preciado, a noted MeXi-
 can prospector, who is constantly
 on the look out for mines that have
 been worked by what are termed
 the prehistoric people of the Santa Cruz valley, made a discov- cry near this city that seems hard to determine what 1t is. He had been prospecting in the Tucson mountains for number of days, and some two weeks ago, on hls way home, he came across on the hill side, some fifty steps from the end of Stevens avenue a singular looking place which at once at tracted his attention. He saw on close inspection, that he was stand ing on top of what was at one time circular shaft, between fifteen and twenty feet in diameter, and walled with stone and mortar He struck his pick and then his crow bar, in to the center of the walled place and found that his pick went down to the hilt, and his crow bar almost disappeared. It was growing late and marking the spot, he came on to town, and that night he drea med of untold treasures that he had found in that place. Early the next morning. he went back, taking with him his pick and shovel. He began to dig, and soon found that a few inches from the top the dirt was lose and easily dug, and in no time had cleared away about two feet of dirt. He discovered, further, in digging, that pair of stairs built out of hewn stone, led down the shaft, or walled place, and Up to yesterday though he had gone down some thirty feet, he had not reached the bottom, and the stairs continued to lead down. The work has been carried on by Preciado alone for the last two weeks. and had never told any one of his discovery till yester day.
 Bernabe Britchta was the first man to receive the news of this strange discovery, and having gone out there yesterday, he kindly gave the above facts to the Star reporter. Now, what is it? Is it the way in to one of those prehistoric mines, or is it a furnace? Certainly a mine, for in digging several pieces of quartz rock and iron ore have been found, also indications of a drift leading towards the center of the mountain, which indications would only be found in a mine that had been worked. If this strange discovery proves to be an old mine, and rich, and all within a stones throw of the city. it may lead to the discovery of others, and thus the "old pueblo" may become the leading mining center ofthe Land of Sunshine and Silver. r."-Tucson Star.

A stalwart young man at Leaven- worth, Kan, recently accepted a wager that he could not stand a quart of water dropped into his open hand, drop by drop, from a height of three feet. Before 500 drops had fallen into his hand he almost cried with pain and said he had enough. After little water had fallen each drop seemed to crush his hand, and a blister in the center was the result.-Boston Jour nal.
