found tavern which was occupied by

tenant OF the mountain, apd from the
mouth Of the cave passage led down
into the very center OF the hili where
there was Il large chamber Around
the chamber were stacked great quaint
ties OF bags filled with curious dried
leaves. From the leaves preceded the
delicious fragrance.
These leaves were tobacco. Once
year. the giant explained oil OF the
spirits came to the mountain for the
purpose of smoking this exquisite
weed. But 1t was not possible to give
any of It away" said the ethnologist.
Nevertheless Manabozo watched for
an opportunity and, snatching up one
Of the bags. fed, closely pursued by
the giant The thief lenped from peak

as to finally overtake him. So Mana
bozo turned upon him and, upbraiding
him for his stinginess. transformed
him into Il grasshopper

Meats Going Up.
 The Russo-Japanese war is causing a raise in the value of all packed meats. Already the effects of this advance in price is being felt in Bis bee. Ham and bacon has raised about one and one-half cents on a pound. and salt pork has gone up $1-5O a barrel. Canned meats are advanc- ing, also. and will cost the consumer a few cents more per can The fresh meat price will also advance, but this is caused by local conditions and moi by the packing house rates. At this time of the year the Arizona and Cali fornia native stock is in poor condi tion, and while the butchers have tt pay the same price per head. the stock shrinks in weight, and the consumer is obliged to pay the difference.
