WOMEN CAUGHT
 BOOTLEGGING IN COCHISE

TOMBSTONE, Sept. c. Caught with a powerful racing car stripped down to the wheels and with at least ten cases of whiskey aboard, some of 1t concealed in a false bottom, two women bootleggers were rounded up the other night at Stein's Pass by Constable Whitley, of San Simon. Both women were brought to Tomb stone and are now in the county jail, where they will remain until trial.
 Constable Whitley was laying" for bootleggers in his favoritc trap, a narrow canyon in Stein's Pass just across the Arizona line and the first car to try to run the gauntlet was occupied by the two women, although Whitley was unaware they were women until the driver had come to halt. Both were dressed in mems togs, wearing clothes similar to regu- lation soldiers uniforms. Booze six feet high in cases was packed on the rear of the machine and not until the car was being unloaded in front of the court house this afternoon was the false bottom discovered, which contained about two cases of pint bottles.
 Confined in the county jail the cap tured women bootleggers have noth- ing to say, while the booze has been stored in jail for evidence. They give their names as Frances Rose and Billy Aturry.

EARLY DAY SILVER
 GROUP TO RESUME
(From Fridays Dafly.) ]

NJ. Roland, owner of the old-time Little Boy group of silver-lead mines, situated on the western slope of the Bradshaws, near Minnehaha Flat, IS another pioneer who is wheeling into line to resume operations, since silver has reached price to warrant oper- ations to resume. He leaves today to establish a camp, and states suffi- cient ore is ready for blocking to warrant a Notation plant to be built. A mill is situated nearby, which is to be utilized to the extent of its capa- bility in making recoveries, and later the product will be further treated by Notation. Mir Roland worked this property nearly quarter of cen tury ago, but when silver slumped to SO cents, he and others abandoned the field. Two other old mines Tn that silver zone of the Bradshaws are also preparing to resume. It IS also reported that Nevada people have been looking over the Ryland and Button groups, the ores of both carry ing a heavy percentage in silver and zinc.

BRADSHAW REGION
 FACES PROSPERITY
(From Fridays Daily.)

Ed Block, who has returned from an inspection of development on his Fairview and other mines near Crown King, stated yesterday the general situation throughout the Bradshaws is better than for many years, more companies operating and more prop critics producing than ever known.
 The big movement is the Bradshaw Development Co.,, which is operating the Wildhower and other mines, and has recently completed Notation plant with a capacity of over l50 tons per day. These works arc ready to start up on ores from their mines, and the only delay is the completion of the tramway from the Wildfower camp to the works at Crown King. It is stated this utility will be in com mission during the coming week, when an immense tonnage will be ready for transporting. The new min has been tried out in treating the old tailings dump, and has proven a sue cess.
 MT. Block believes the Bradshaw country is just entering future in which a substantial and active era is rapidly advancing, and on basis also of permanency and prosperity.

SECOND SURVEY OF
 NEW ROAD COMPLETED
to resume
(From Saturdays DaiIy.)

Earl Parker, the engineer engaged in running preliminary surveys for the projected wagon road from Prescott direct to Jerome, via Yeager canyon, returned yesterday from the field, hay ing completed a new line via Granite Dells, which is to be the final action taken in this important movement for selection of a route.
 For the next week he will be en- gagged in map making and in estimat- ing the cost of construction of the two surveys, one of which begins near the Four Mile house. MT. Par ker gives interesting data pertaining to his duties, and states that either route, if selected, will have approx imately length of 90 miles. The survey that leaves Granite creek north of the Point of Rocks, will in tersect the first survey run, at the Cook ranch at the mouth of Yeagef canyon. Across Lonesome valley the distance is about IA miles. The maximum grade is to be per cent, and the inlet to Jerome will be via Deception gulch. The important matter also was mentioned that in nearing Jerome many copper camps will be tapped, and the heaviest con struction will prevail on the last mile into Jerome. The survey also in cludes Walnut Springs, and with the exception of a short mile at high elevation the road will be open all the year. After the survey passes the Cook ranch the old freighting road into Jerome will not be utilized. better and lower per cent grade being available, while construction cost will be remarkably low, considering that the making of new grade IS to be taken into consideration. Scenic con ditions also are attractive, through the Black Hills, and a substantis highway through desirable forma- ton for capping is assured,
 Mir. Parker is experienced in this character of work, for many years having been engaged in difficult en- gincering for railroads. He says there is a very lively interest being manifested in Jerome to have this roadway realized, and several of the larger companies are willing to assist materially in seeing it accomplished. He had been in the field since July 18th, and has diligently looked over all routes, making two selections out of this city, and one into Jerome.

HIGH PRICE SILVER IN DUCES 2 MINING MEN TO REVIVE OLD WINGFIELD PROPERTY ON SILVER BELT FISSURE.
(From Saturdays DailYl

The closing yesterday of another deal, by which an eariy-day silver mine is to enter the active state is announced. C. P Wingheld. the Humboldt merchant, turns over his group to Bert Walch and Martin Hahn under a leasing agreement un- der which work is to begin immedi- ately. The latter two operators left for the property later in the day.
 This transaction is but one of many now being closed in this field, in which the inducement to operate is based on the white metal coming back into the industrial arena with an at tractive market price as assured for years to come.
 The Wingfeld property adjoins on the south the Arizona, owned by Anderson & Birch, and many years ago was a shipper The vein is strong and the indications are excellent for a steady producer to be determined. This will make the third active camp on that Assure, the Silver Belt on the north end, the Arizona adjoining on the south, and the Wing6eld linking up the system, all camps within a half mile of one another. Farther to the south and near Huron another move mcnt is ready to close up by which fourth silver property is getting ready to resume.

With the good wishes of the home folks still ringing in their cars and with the pleasant memories of happy evening spent as the guests of the citizens of Prescott, the 21 young men who were chosen to make up Yavapai county's first contribution to Columbia's fast-assembling liberty army left this city at about midnight for the long trip to Fort Riley, Kas., and this morning the lads are speed ing toward the rising sun with full realization that they have started on a journey which will end only when the system which underlies Prussian- ism has been relegated to the realms of the other outcasts of civilization, and the world made safe for de- mocracy.
 Truly, the boys were sent away with smile In an evening crowded full of interesting events, the citizens of Prescott made known in no uncer- tain way the fact that they were highly appreciative of the services which the lads arc about to render, and that their best wishes and pray CTS for a safe return accompanied the departing soldier boys.
