Rat Showed Him q Mine.

The actions of a rat led N. R. Ingoldsby
to the discovery of a rich gold mine in Arr
Zcna. He named the property the Rat Hole
mine.
Mr.. Ingoldsby has been spending several
months near Mammoth. on the San Pedro
river. In Arizona. His purpose was to en-
joy the hunting and make collection Of
the animals and minerals of the southwest.
He pitched his tent in the canon of the San
Pedro in the Santa Catarina mountains.
He had no neighbors and was for long
time unable to account for the disappear
ance of small articles that he left lying
about his camp. At last he noticed that
when anything was taken something was
left in its place. This was usually bit of
stone or wood. The culprit he found to be
a large rodent Of the species known the
trading rat. The habits of the animal made
an interesting study for Mr.. Ingoldsby, and
he often lay awake at night to watch for
his visitor.
A silver spoon was missing one morning
and in its place was piece Of quartz
carrying free god. This still more excited
attempts he succeeded in following the ami
NAL to it's home. Near by was the ledge
from which the gold-bearing quartz had
been taken. Mr. Ingoldsby made an exam
nation thorough enough to prove that his
discovery was Of considerable value.
