 we wish to state, for the benefit of our for
 eign friends, that no more delightful May
 weather has ever been experienced in Inc
 son, or, for that matter, anywhere elae
 The days have been continuously br,gh,
 and pleasant Most of the time wa navs
 been favored with cool, refreshing breezes
 and the nights have been so chilly ina,
 while sleeping indoors two blankets have
 been found necessary for comfort. This is
 good record, and we desire to bring if ,o
 the attention Of outside readers who ara
 not yet acquainted with the facts shop,
 Arizona. This may be one of the effac,s
 Of the approach Of the railroad, in which
 case we may expect to be "snowed in ?,
 next winter.
 THE internal revenue officials yesterday
 held a public aution of sundrv contra. band goods, lately the property of the Santa Rita moonshiners. and among the
 rest there was one copper still, Of the ca.
 pacity of about fifty gallons per diem.
 We shall curiously watch the future oper- ations of that still, inasmuoh as section 33S2 of the Revised Statutes Of the United States makes 1t the imperative duty of the officers making 8 seizure Of any still Of A capacity less than l5O gallons per day to completely destroy the same, so that fl can never be used for purposes Of dlstilla- tion again. It would seem that the United States would have right 10 walk in and smash that machine wherever it could he found and that the purchaser got a badly damaged article. so far as future use is concerned.
