Mountain rats in the mines in Colo
RADIO are about as big as a wharf rat, but
they have bushy tail like squirrel,
and are pets of the miners. Whenever
the luncheon hour comes you will see the
fellows come from their holes or nests or
wherever they live in the intervals be-
tween meals, squat on their launches,
and sit there until one of the miners
shares his dinner with them Whatever
they get of the scraps of that meal they
sit up and eat just as squirrel does.
The miner doesn't exist that would not
