Exploit of Alleged Bootlegger

An alleged bootlegger, captured
by Deputy Prewitt near Bowie,
while being taken to Tombstone
Thursday, driving the machine in
which captured behind one driven
by the officer with two other pris-
oners, failed to turn i'm on arriv-
ing at the courthouse. Instead he
made for the highroad leading out
of town, followed by the officer,
to whom he gave a merry chase for
several miles. He passed through
Benson-on the back streets-about
4 O'Clock in the afternoon, going
like the proverbial blue streak. It
is reported he abandoned his car,
a high-powered Cadillac, out near
the Pima county line, either from
breakdown or lack of gas oline, and
made his escape.

The Outlook for Tungten

A Boulder, Colorado, paper is
optimistic on the maintenance of
tungsten prices, regardless of war
stimulated demand of She present
and near future. It says the idea
that the tungsten mining industry
is but passing fancy has hold On
good many people, including
miners of the black metal. They
seem to think that tungsten de-
pends on the war, and that it will
have little value after the war 1t
cannot be said that tungsten will
always lead in value among the
metals employed in steel alloy, but
the fact is that rnetallurgy has not
yet discovered substitute for it.
We cannot predict the mainte-
nance Of 800 schedule for the
unit of 60 per cent tungsl Ell, al
though we think some such price
will be paid as long as the war
lasts. When one compares the
market value cf $500 in 1914 with
the present price be finds a wide
margin wherein the price may huc
tuate, yet the industry flourish. 1t
is as tool steel that tungsten now
finds its greatest use, but every
day we hear of new uses to which
lit is being applied. It is the best
advertised Of all metals used as
alloy. 1t is going to be used in all

turers will require all America can.
produce, and they will pay for it
whatever may be needed to get it
In our opinion the war will not end
this year. ALI nations will keep to
themselves what tungsten they have
within their borders, and America
must depend upon that found with
in this country to meet its own
needs.
Since the above was written there has
been considerable decline in the price
of tungsten ore, but prices quoted are far
above those Of 1914 and sufficient to JUS
tify confidence in the continued paving

WALT MASON ON HOME PATRONAGE

They are good sports in every way;
They cough up money every day
To make the town better place
In which to live and push your face
They hire a dozen clerks or more,
Who wait on patrons in their store.
Our crossroads burg they would upbuild,
And see it with glad people filled
And to that end they blow their scads
Like truly patriotic lads.
But when we need of eggs a few,
We send away to Timbuctoo
And when carpet tack we wish,
It's shipped from YpsIanti; Mich.
Each has the notion in his dome
That things are best away from home,
And so we order hods and hats,
And humming birds and maltese cats
From strangers in some town remote,
Who would not know US from goat.
We ship away our hard-earned kale,
And get our fourth-rate junk by mail.
Say, are we seerS, or are we fools?
Those strangers don't support our schools,
Or keep the peeler on his beat,
Or help to pave muddy street.
They do not paint the village pump,
Or build fence around the dump.
If our old burg were blown away,
They wouldn't care bale of hay,
