Hereafter regular ship ments are to be made from that sec tion. The general mining situation is very encouraging all around.

RAPID PROGRESS BEING MADE ON
 HIGHWAY
Force on New Speedway Leading to Tucson
 Increased
OTHER IMPORTANT ROAD WORK EXPECTED TO BEGIN
 SHORTLY.

TUCSON, Ariz., June 29.-Work on the territorial highway by Pacheeo and Griffin, the contractors who have it in charge, is making good headway and is being rapidly pushed. Tester day more stock and equipment and men were taken out to the camp southeast of the city and from whence work is progressing this way.
 Other important road work for Tucson in the addition to the Speed way is expected to begin shortly, and when autumn comes there will be many added miles of good roads for the visitor or the home motorist to ride over, a decidedly added attrae- tiOn to the city as a winter resort and one that will be sure to attract many visitors.
 From an Out-of-town motorist comes the suggestion that the county could have much money in the end and have a very much better system of roads if small culverts were put under the road where little arroyas wash down. His observation was called forth by a trip over the Oracle road. Here work has been done so that the wheels will not strike a little gully at the same in stant and run the danger of breaking springs, but the road is rather rough one in some spots. It is 3S miles to Oracle, and two hours is good time to take the run in. If culverts were put in where there are now small washes running across the road the running time would be ma terially cut down and the comfort of automobilists greatly increased. If the running time could be reduced to an hour and a half in comfort there would undoubtedly be a number of business men who would have sum- mer cottages at Oracle and make the run in and out each morning.
 The suggestion of the visitor was called to the attention of a local automobile enthusiast, and he admit ted the urgent need of culverts and the advantages which they would bring. It is true that the cost of putting in culverts would seem ex- pensive at the outset, but the annual saving in road work would be ma terial and would soon make up for this and prove it to be an ultimate economy.

TERRITORIAL ROAD
 TO BE BUILT SOUTH
Board of Control Orders Survey to Be Continued From End of Completed
 Section Through Bradshaws

but one that will be a monument to
 this day and generation, a develop
 ing influence throughout the territory
 the value of which cannot be over
 estimated. The board of control feels
 that it has accomplished much aI-
 ready during the short time since
 the work began, but more notable
 than it's construction, at least more
 gratifying and promising for the fu-
 ture, Is the attitude of the public
 toward the movement. In the begin
 ming there was more or less hostility
 and protest against the road tax, but
 the results already shown seem to
 have satisfied most people of the
 wisdom of the territorial highway
 undertaking. A protest is seldom
 heard and people generally seem to
 feel that the money spent will be returned with magnificent interest in
 the near future. And where there is still an occasional opponent of the highway idea his name is seldom found to be very high on the tax roll
 Fine illustrations of the hearty support being given the board of con- trOl are found in the cooperation of the Yavapai and Coconiro county boards of supervisors, spoken os in the beginning. MT. Girand says that is not the sentiment of this CT that locality merely, but seems to be the opinion of the citizenship of the territory generally, and he is well qualified to judge, as he has been all over it frequently in recent months Not only are the county boards will ing, active and desirous of doing their work where it will be perman- ent, but individual citizens are just as enthusiastic. In the northern country MT. Grand said he had been urged by many private citizens to hurry things as fast as he could and that they not only approved of the road tax, but in some cases the bank CTS and large property owners had volunteered to advance money if it were necessary that the work might be hurried, along.
 While above mentioned progress in work has covered only the northern part of the territorial system, the same enthusiasm and the same progress exists in the soush and east and west. Much has besl printed of the construction work in the south, and as was announced in these columns recently, the Phoenix Yuma road is to be put iT shape in the early fall. The construction from Roosevelt to Globe is an old story, IS also is the Florence bridge, winch Phoenix with the south, and which connection will be much bet .er with the completion of the Tempe bridge for the piers of which cx- ,avatiOn began yesterday.

CHICAGO SMASHEs
 OLD MARRIAGE RECORDS.

CHICAGO, H.. June 29.- Cupid
 never saw anything like it before
 in Chicago, and his record, 1918 we'd
 dings, during the first half of June
 is to be outdone in the last half, ae-
 eording to Clerk SalmonsOn, who
 has been issuing marriage licenses for so many years that three genera tions in many families have those which he has autographed. Last year Cupid scored 1,s41 licenses in the same period. According to the in evitable estimate of the cost, these matrimonial ventures run into seven million dollars for among them thers have been some nuptials, with all the etceteras, which cost extravagant sums. So many of the others were plain, unadorned marriages that the judges of the municipal courts have found Cupid's business continually in terfering with their calendar cases The alarm caused by judge of that court who declared that marriages performed in the County building by a certain justice of the peace from Evanston were illegal and void has knocked Justice Staeey's business in the head. In fact a number of couples married by Justice Stacey have been remarried by judges in courts of record and ministers of the gospel, thus swelling the number of ceremonies One justice from La Grange who has an office across the street from the court house is the only country town justice sharing the city marrying business with the judges.

FIVE AMERICANS
 DESERT FROM REBELS

MORALES, Sonora, Mex, June 29 For some days past the soldiers in NOgales, Sonora, have been unusually busy. A general inspection of the men took place yesterday, and all the horses were ordered to be shod. The eommissary agent was kept busy dis tributing shoes and clothing to the men.
 Tomorrow the paymaster will ar rive, when the soldiers will be paid off. Fifty will remain behind for duty as rurales. Tonight at 10 o'clock Col. Garcia left on the Sonora train for Hermosillo, accompanied by sixty men. He will be placed at the head of 25O rurales. Colonel Cabfal has as yet received no orders to re- move his troops, but expects to do so in a few days.
 A few days ago five Americans de- serted from the ranks of the insur- rectos at Nogales, Sonora. The de- serters are Lieutenant Sexsmith, Pri- vate Campbell and three other Amer jeans. They lured their commander, Captain Roberto, apart from his men, bound him to a tree, after which they escaped across the line with their horses and full equipment. They also stole Cabral's fine black horse. The missing captain was discovered after an all-day search.

YOUTHS DESTROY VALUABLE
 PAPERS
Offices in the Wilson Building Entered
 By Boys
DOCUMENTS sTREWN ON FLOOR AND SEVERAL RECORDS
 CARRIED AWAY.
(FTom Fridays Daily.)

So complete was the demolition of
 the offices of Justice C. H. McLane
 and the rooms formerly occupied by
 Attorney E. M. Sanford in the Will.
 son building, that if a cyclone had
 done the work, the destruction could
 have not been more effective, was the sight yesterday after a trio of boys had finished their nefarious work. The discovery was made Wednesday, when an investigation re- vealed the guilty ones and their ar rest followed later.
 The youths who entered the prem ises were Joe and Frank Contreras. eight and eleven years old, respectively and Eddie Arnold, of the age of six years. These youths, they say, were directed to a "soft snap" by a companion named Willie Green, said to be thirteen years old. They entered the building through a glass transOm, which they broke with their naked hands, one of the boys sustain ing several cuts that bled profusely Once in the room they commenced their work and not an article missed their scrutiny. Every piece of paper that was in the pigeon hole case of 100 compartments, every record and document of the many thousands, with official seals, and lodge and labor union records, and a large amount of miscellaneous property, were strewn on the floors of the rooms and pre- sented a deplOrable sight. Valuable papers covering four years of we'll kept records, conveniently arranged and indexed, were massed on the floor with personal trinkets and small furniture. Every drawer had been opened and tables turned up- side down.
 After finishing their work in Judge MeLane's rooms the vacated law of fees of Judge Sanford were attacked. Several boxes of legal papers, care fully packed away and weighing over 200 pounds, were opened and the contents strewn around the two rooms in the same manner as in the adjoining rooms. The four places in short, looked as if the boys had an object of finding valuables secreted somewhere in the building. The worst feature of the affair is that several very valuable documents and record books are missing. Eight seals were taken away and but five have been recovered.
 District Attorney Ross began an investigation of the matter yesterday before Judge McLane, but no legal determination was decided upon. What to do with the boys, who ad- mitted their guilt, IS a delicate prob- lem, owing to their tender years. The Green boy, said to be the insti- gator, left for Phoenix with his parents Tuesday afternoon.

 As the result of the detection of combination between passenger conductors and ticket agents whereby tickets were manipulated to the fin ancial loss of the company, the man agement of the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix Railway Company, yes terday discharged number of it's employees.
 Although the officials of the com pany will not give the detail of the graft, yet they admitted that the company has been muleted out of several thousand dollars and that the men whose guilt they have the proof, have been dismissed. The facts have been placed In the hands of the officers of the law, and whether ar rests and prosecutions will follow, is as yet undecided.
 At least nine men are known to be involved and there are some under suspicion who have not yet been dis charged. One of the conductors who got the ax yesterday was caught knocking down. fares three years ago but about year ago was taken back and put on a freight train after having expressed his repentance and given a solemn pledge to sin no more; subsequently, he was given the run on one of the passenger trains between Ash Fork and Phoenix But he yielded again to temptation and consequently he was retired yester- day.
 It was a simple scheme by which the company was defrauded but it was one that could be worked only by collision between the ticket agent and the conductor. A ticket was sold to a passenger and the conductor when taking it up, made pretense of punching it. Instead, it is said that he punched a piece of card board. This ticket was re-delivered to the station agent who sold it to some other passenger destined for the some other passenger destined for the ceive the money obtained for the second sale of the ticket Sometimes the ticket could not be sold the sec ond time in which case it never showed up in the Auditors Offie and the number of missing tickets outstanding is what led to the invest igatiOn which has been in progress for over a month. In fact, one of the local ticket agents, left a month ago on a vacation, but he suddenly returned within the next day or two and deeded his house to his wife | Then he left Prescott and is still ab- sent His name, it is reported is on the "retired' list promulgated yes terday.
 General Manager W. A. Drake made the following statement:
 "The Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoe- nix Railway Company has dismissed | from its service a number of ticket | agents and passenger conductors for dishonest and irregular practices in manipulation of tickets.
 ''The abuses have been so fragrant | that the matter has been referred to | the proper officers of the law, who have been acquainted with the infor- nation in the possession of the off cials of the railway company, and it has not as yet been determined by them what course will be pursued"
 MT. Drake, MT. Hastings and MT. Burks refused to discuss the matter further, and especially declined to give the names of the discharged em- ployes.
