The following is taken from

"By reason Of the facts rhat an
early resumption Of activity at the
Johnson smelter is expected, the
corporation commission yesterday
denied the application Of the South.
ern Pacific for authority to abolish
the rate Oh copper matte from Dra-
gooh,' Cochise county, to Douglas.
The smelter at Johnson has not
been in'opefatfon for some time.''
" The same rate mentioned would
apply to the Benson smelter, and
as there is little prospect for the
Johnson smelter to resume OPERA
tions on account of the lack of
water and fux,' Benson mining men
who have been studying the situa-
ton, give out the opinion that the
prospects for building the Benson
smelter' are more probable than the
resumption of the Johnson smelt-

we do not mean necessarily that

A Jolt For BOozers

There vas weeping and gnashine
of teeth among a bunch of booze
buyes at Madison last Thursday.
Station Agent Holder refused to let
them have lot of liquor they had
ordered for a street fair jamboree
The stuff arrived in due time, and
so did the buyers. When Holder
declined to make a delivery they
thought he was joking. Later on
they begged, threatened and i'm
plored, finally demanding by what
authority he retained possession of
their property. He reached into a
pigeonhole, drew forth little PAM
phlet and very impressively read
them a paragraph which authorized
station agents to use their own dis.
erection about delivering liquors re.
ceived while a fair, circus or other
public gathering was in progress
Not drop left the depot until the
fair was over. Needless to say
Madison people are duly proud Of
such an agent.
