AlVARADO TAKEN OVER BY UTAH
 OPERATORS
STRONG COMPANY OF PRACTICAL MINING PEO- PILE TO REVIVE OLD GOLD PROPERTY.
(From Sundays Daily)

Arrivals from the Congress country yesterday reported that it has been definitely decided that the Alvarado in Fools Gulch is to resume, with E. D. Durfce, of Park City, Utah, in charge as general manager.
 The decision to take over this gold property follows after an extended examination, in which several of the principals of the incoming company participated, all being practical min ing men. The preliminary eXamina- ton has been followed by getting the old camp in condition for occupancy.
 The Alvarado was active in 1896, and since that time has been opcrat- cd only at intervals. Its product is gold. Several companies performed development aggregating several thousand feet. The main shaft is over 500 feet deep. Its ores were of a complex character, and milling methods proved unsatisfactory in re- covcry of values, hence the suspcn- sion. The plan of the new company is to develop only, and later a pro cess of reduction will be decided upon.

(From Tuesdays Daily.j

 One small patch of dry Arizona lived lip to its title yesterday when it greedily gulped down about 25 gall Ions of assorted booze, dumped from various containers by four men, con- victed of having brought in, sold and transported the stuff. The work was done in the presence of Judge F. O. Smith, various officials of the sheriff's office and crowd of onlookers, in- cluding a number of workmen. on the court house building
 "Oh Lawdyi" exclaimed large, dusky person in overalls, as he glimpsed the execution being done to about 50 quart bottles by Robert Me Callum, who, with L. NJ. Spencer, pleaded guilty of violating the prohi- bition laws yesterday morning Gosh, what a wastew said another bystand- CT, and large built lady snorted, thinking he referred to her own ample form.
 T cant sec that 1t IS worth it." unused McCallum, whose sister sat in the deputies room. just out of car shot of the party that was being held at the cast door of the building. T can make living in lots of other ways beside selling whiskey"
 Spencer. who is tall, good-looking and well dressed chap, asked Judge Smith for instructions The judge told him, and he lifted the bottles out of their pasteboard jackets, stripped off the coverings and passed them to McCallum, who bcheadcd them with a hatchet, allowing the amber fluid to drain and sink into the soft earth. Soon, there was heap of paper car tons, another of broken and empty whiskcy and cocktail bottles and an awful smell.
 O. l.. Some, a young chap, was next. He smashed two pints of boot leg whiskcy against convenient rock, and his work was done.
 Booker Williams was next called. His consignment consisted of two ivc-gallou cans, labeled coal oil He punched out the tops and up-endcd the containers, and another moist spot appeared. together with a new and less inviting smell. Apparently Williams bulk goods were not of as high grade as the bottled stuff con- tributcd by the others
 Clerk P J. Farley stood by, paper and pencil in hand, and checked the ruination as it was wrought by the prisoners, finally tallying the amount of liquor destroyed with that regis tered against each destroyer.
 This is less spectacular than the sprinkling cart method of Maricopa county" unused Judge Smith, but so far as 1 can sec, just as effective"
 Yes. and that is enough to make of us" said worn looking old chap, who had apparently been rum-hound" But he said it under his breath.
