RATS AVOID A
Cigar Stores Are Little Bothered by
This Common Pest.

AA- Ne-AAeA Aeo-
"At any rate the tobacco man can
put in a good word for the rat, said
al old cigar man to a New Orleans
Times-D Democrat reporter, "but l
suppose he is about the only man
that would say anything about the
rodent family that was good. Be
sides, what he says is a negative sort
Of goodness. The rat simply doesn't
bother the tobacco man. During a
long experience in the tobacco bust
ness, an experience covering 25 years
or more, l can recall but few in
stances where the rat became at all
bothersOme around cigar stores.
They cannot stand the odor Of to-
baeco and / have never known Of rats
eating tobacco in any form, or even
of rats attempting to cut into to-
bacco. l suppose the taste of the
weed is offensive to the rodent pal
ate. At any rate they will have
nothing to do with it. You might
fill this place up with rats, and |
would open every box of cigars and
tobacco in the place so that the tribe
would have easy access to the stock,
and | would lay a wager that we
could come in here after they had re-
manned overnight and find they had
not touched a thing in the place.
Rats are not chewers of tobacco, nor
smokers, nor users Of the weed in
any form. Even the smoke Of tobac-
co seems to craze them. remember
a few years ago to have made an ex-
pertinent for the purpose of seeing
what effect smoke would have on the
rat, and to determine the cause Of
the rats antipathy to tobacco,

home. | put him in a little cage and
began to blow tobacco smoke on him

THE ATMOSPHERE.
The Great Air-currents Of Our Globe
Briefly Described.

The general circulation of the at
mosphere has been outlined from a
late report by E. Hildebrandsson.
the Upsala meteOrOlogist. Above
the thermal equator, and constant
throughout the year, is an eastern
current, which carried the dust of
the Krakatoa eruption of 1883 around
the world from east to west in 10 to
10 da%ys,showing an average velocity
OF 81 meters per second. Above the
region of trade winds is an upper
contra-trade wind current, from the
southwest in the northern hemis-
phere and the northwest in the
southern hemisphere. The contra
trade WIND current gradually devil
ates until it becomes a western cur
rent above the barometic maximum
OF the tropics, and at the crest of this
high pressure it descends to feed the
trade winds. Near the equator are
regions belonging to the belt Of
equatorial calm: at one part of the
year and to trade winds at another.
with a corresponding everything mon
soon extending the c~ontra-trade
wind in winter and the equatorial
eastern current in summer. The
high pressure of the tropics steadily
diminishes toward the poles, and the
air of the temperate zones is drawn
into a vast polar whirlpool turning
from west to east, the circular move
ment reaching upward at least ten OF
eleven miles. The influence of sur
face Irregularities mostly disappears
at the height of the lower or interme.

Jack Bevin, a miner at the |. ". mine, fell 45 feet down a manway in the United Verde mine Saturday, and yet received no serious injury. says the Jerome News. He was coming up a ladder. and when about f5 feet from the bottom round in the ladder broke, and Bevin started for the bottom at lightning speed, but had not gone far when he met Mexican on his way He picked up the Mexican and took him along With him, but had not gone far when they met another MeXi- can oa his way up.

FINAL COUNTY MINES
Producer Shelter Will Blow in With
 in Six Weeks.

Frank Boyle came down from Kel- Nin Wednesday and returned Friday. lie states that the camp has been quite lively for week past owing to an influx of miners and prospectors.
 There was party of Phoenix mi ming men over at Mineral Hill, this county, this week, examining the old Specie Pay and other mines. Piral county seems to be the center of at traction for mining men now.
 Water was struck, this week, in the Del Corbe well, at depth of 65 feet. It will be several days. however. before the extent of the supply can b. de- termined. The bottom of the well is in feldspathic granite. showing a very light naturalization, hence the watar should be all right for domestic use.
 Supt. Frank Brownell of the Pro ducer mining company returned from Chicago Wednesday and went out to Brownell Thursday. He informed us that the ProduceE cOmpany's sixty-ton smelter, at RrowEell, will be completed! and blown in inside of six weeks. He also states that the company has decided to buy ores from prospectors and chlcriders to encourage and ena ble them to develop their properties This is wise policy as it will aid materially in the development of the mineral wealth of the district surrounding Browncl. At the same time it will be of inestimablc benefit to the p0or pros pectors and claim owners who arc heroically struggling to make q stake" A party of ten of the princi- pal eastern stockholders of the com pany will arrive here within two weeks to look over their holdings and inves- tiSate some other enterprises they are now promoting. Their visit will mean . great deal for Pinal county.
 Thos. Lonergan has gone out to his mining claims, near the White well and established camp. He will do con- siderable work on his claims before re- turning. He has some excellent pros poets out there.-FIorence Blade

 Burke and Heslin worked as companion tappers at the shelter. While working on an upper bench early Saturday morning. Burke. who was hitting, missed tho rod and hit Heslin' S fingers. Heslin dropped the rod. and turning struck Burke a severe blow in the face knocking him to the floor of the smelter. Burke's head hit the floor so hard that he was unconscious, and he was then only saved from further punishment by Heslin by the interfer- encc of other workmen. When Burke became conscious, he remarked, the News is informed, that he would kill Heslin before morning. Sometime af- ter this quarrel. the men were tapping the lower hole in the furnace.
