A Bee Story.

1t frequently happens that mines
are forced to suspend operations tenn
porarily because of water or because
of lack of immediate funds. but it has
remained for Mohawk to bring forth a
new cause for a suspension of mining
operations, says the Tucson Citizen.
Millions of bees there swarmed down
on the water supply of the Red Cross
mine, which Colonel George w. Nor
ton is operating, and set themselves
up as rulers. The mine is located in
the Mohawk mountains, five miles
from Mohawk summit, on the South
ern Pacific. There are millions and
millions of bees that swarm in these
mountains. The water supply is short
at present, and the bees have discov-
cred that the best place to secure wa
ter is at the Red Cross mine. Almost
famished by lack of water, the bees
visited the camp this week by mill
lions. They swarmed on the canteens
until these cooling vessels looked like
immense balls of bees. In the water
barrels the bees swarmed six inches
deep. AS a result of this visit the
miners could obtain drinking water
only at the risk of being stung to
death, and it was decided to shut down
the mine temporarily until some
means could be found for getting rid
of the bees. These bees have their
hives in crevices in the rocks, and
prospectors who have found the mes
quite honey. declare it is of the finest
quality. 1t is believed that many of
the bees come miles for water, and al
