MINE COLLEGE
 FLOTATION PLANT

TUCSON, Mar. 12.-The w. O.. Arzinger Machinery Company of Nashville, Tennessee has recently presented to the Department of Metallurgy and Ore Dressing of the University one complete 20-ton Sim plex Flotation Unit. This appara- tus operates on a principle quite diff ferent from other flotation machines, and the manufacturers claim that it is both simpler and more efficient than other types of Notation apparatus now on the market. It will form very valuable addition to the ore testing laboratory at the University. and the gift is highly appreciated.
 Another recent gift comes from the Calumet & Arizona Mining Co. It consists of two, 21E horse power Westinghouse direct current motors for the use of the Department of Electrical Engineering. Professor Paul Cloke, the Head of this Depart ment, is taking great pride in equip. ping his new laboratory in the new Mining and Engineering Building so that it will be credit to the insti- tuition, and these motors form very useful addition to the apparatus all ready installed.
 It is believed that many Arizona mining companies own equipment for which they no longer have any use, and for which they can secure mer- ely nominal sums if sold under pre- sent conditions. It is hoped that al goodly number of these companies will follow the example of the Calu- met and Arizona people in present. ing such apparatus to the Aniver- sit,-

CLEVER WOMAN
 EQUESTRIENNE TRIUMPHS
tFrom Wednesday. pai1y.)

Arrivals yesterday from the Hill side country gave all interesting ac- count of a horse race run a short time ago in which the skill of Mrs Della Ritter in equestriennt ability triumphed over two male jockeys, and her pony won approximately $1,500. Of this purse Mrs Ritter is said to have received one-third, which sum she placed on her animal.
 There were three horses entered, all to go from standing start, at the crack of a gur, and Beauty went under the wire at the outcome full length in the lead. All racers were evenly matched, but the clever landl- ing of the ribbons won as usual. Mrs. Ritter has figured prominently as 2 rider in all Frontier Day celebrations in this city. and is considered as the Queen of the Arena, winning many pony races solely through her knowl- edge of the nature of the equine. She sends word that she will again appear for the coming celebration in Pres colt, and is training her pony for q special track event.

NO TODDY NO
 TOLL SLOGAN OF PAST

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 25, 1794- There is a popular outbreak in West ern Pennsylvania which is destined to become known in history as The Whisky Insurrection. It grows out of the attitude of the people toward the Governments treatment of dis titled spirits and Federal interference with the personal liberty of the in dividual.
 r. It seems that great many per sons, aided and abetted by certain newspapers, assert that the govern ment has no right to pass laws inter fering with the individuals inherent right to convert his rye and his corn into wiskey if he wishes. They have organized personal liberty leagues, and ill few instances have announc- ed new slogan, to-wit, No today no toil.'
 Officers who nave come into this section to enforce the excise laws have been resisted by the people in arms. At least one exciseman has been tarred and feathered. Buildings oc- cupied by, friends of the government have been burned, and government officers everywhere have been insult ed and abused. Between six thou sand and seven thousand insurgents were until recently under arms. Presi- dent Washington's proclamation of August 7, however, has had some thing of a deterrent effect
 A leader of the insurgents is cer- tain Judge Breckenridge, who boasts that ne can muster sixteen thousand armed men, and Who declares that it the National Government attempts coercion application will be made to Great Britain for aid.
 LATER-It has just been learned that a large force of soldiers under General Lee of revolutionary fame is thither to quell the rebel lion Since it became known that Light Horse Harry" is on his way the Breckenridge crowd is singing low. The instruction is disintegrat- ing, and already it has been demon strated that a government possess ing sovereign power to make laws al- SO possesses the police yower to en- force them.

He is a son of Otto Lind, Sr.. and from a letter to Geo. C. Ruffner, received yesterday, some lively notes are talk en as follows:
 We are stationed at Luderbach, Germany. and while this old country may be all to the good for the pco- pie raised here, it is no place for an American. The last fight be- fore the armisticc was signed, they took a check of what was left of Co. A., and there arc just 7 men left of loo This will give you some idea of what the Hun did to us. and it was about the same down the line also. Say, Jimmy, I mad so many cootics on that fighting front that it was necessary to hogtie my shirt and picket it to keep them from running away with it, while I slaughtered a few hundred in my other clothes. For 20 days l never washed my face a single time, much less shave, and my I was a wild looking Sweedc I am the only one from Prescott in this company. The 32d has suffered frightfully and in loses numbers three on the list There are many Arizonans scattered in the di- vision but it is hard to locate them.

him, but the air pressure pump on my gas tank broke, SO he went up alone and was supposed to join an other formation of ours, that was then in the air. Through some mistake he didn't find them, and we presume he ventured too far over the lines when he was forced to land by motor trouble. I certainly feel badly about it as we had become the best of friends, and I could always depend upon him to follow me. You see as a flight commander l lead patrols whenever we go out and operate as a flight. Often we operate as a squadron unit-three flights togeth- er-in which case the flights are close to each other"
 The letter also dwells on aviation doings generally, in which the miss ing Prescott young man is highly spoken of.
 MT. and Mrs. Love still cling to hope that their son may yet be alive in Germany, although reports are said to have been received in Wash ington that he died as a prisoner 1n Germany. That he was captured there is no doubt, as three Hun planes were seen to be following him as he was descending.

SWANSEA COPPER CON-
 GUIDES TO SHUT DOWN
(From Thursdays Daily)

Another big producer of copper, the Swansea Consolidated near Bouse has suspended, and about 300 on the payroll have been discharged. There was said to be no labor controversy as to the wage scale, the decision to close down being based solely on the prevailing price of the metal that could not withstand the cost of pro- duction and shipping to different smelters within the state. This cop per for some years except at short interval, had been shipping an average of six cars a day, but the con tent was low. Operating expenses, it IS asserted, were governed by what production could be given, that ex- ploration of new holdings might go ahead, and the margin was so close that the profits were small.
 The suspension is said to affect many men with families, and coming at time when a fine camp was be, ing established, and on what was be- lieved to be permanency., a severe hardship is worked on those who arc caught in this unfortunate situa- ton as mining employment is being curtailed everywhere.
 The closing of Swansea is said to have extended to other lesser coppers in that field, which also are limiting development by decreasing the forces Not the slightest indication is given when Swansea may resume, and unless copper conditions improve materially the future of fine big camp has a gloomy outlook. With this col lapse of another copper, dependent ent business pursuits are seriously in that region, and the coun- try is at a standstill in business.

SEVERE DROUTH HAS
 ASSUMED NEW ANGLE
(From Fridays DaiIyl


 Cold weather and scant feeding that has been prevalent enougnt through out for many months to affect the range industry, has assumed new angle. It is hitting hard the vocation of hunting and trapping wild animals. Game has been abundant, but the pelts are far below the quality usu- ally secured. This statement was made yesterday by Felix Flagg. q hunter from the southern part of the county, who said. skins of coyote, wildcat, wolf, and other wild animals were in a miserable state, due to these creatures being in poor condition from want of food. F1agg said the coyote pelts ne had shipped to Omaha were reduced in price over one-third of the market, given in the last cir cular at $670 each. He also was re- questcd not to forward any more of the same character, as they were not wanted.
 This hunter says he has prospered during the past year by pelts quad rupling in price, but he must now abandon the higher elevations as pool feeding not only has affected his busi- ness, but the domesticated race of animals has suffered likewise. He is going into the Colorado river country immediately. When his health fail ed about three years ago, Mr. Flagg adopted the open life as a means of cure, and has succeeded in attaining his purpose. He is a graduate of Harvard.

 The end seemed to come peaceful ly, and from natural causes, heart failure being given as the fatal ill., ness. Mir. Williams had reached fife ripe age of 86 years, and was enjoy. ing splendid health up to a few days ago. being on the street attending to business and mingling freely with friends.
 He entered Arizona from Calif~ ornia during the latter part of 1864, and followed mining His party be- came interested first on Lynch Creek then on Big Bug Creek, and later in Hassayampa district, where the or ganization disbanded.

From that day to this he retained interests in his favor ite field, maintaining annual assess mcnt work faithfully as the years roll ed by. He was a strong believer in the mineral future of the country, and when engaged in business for many years in this city generous sums were outlayed to develop his holdings. He also was among the first to promote the growth of Pres colt, erecting in the 70's what was known as the Williams hotel, now the Congress.

 Before coming to Arizona he was a member of the famous expedition that explored the Sierra Nevada range in California ill the early sos. and his recital of that event in hardships and perils was mentioned only a short time ago to personal friends. His venturesome nature is what brought him into this wilderness over half a century ago, and with him were scv- cral companions to trek across the Colorado, all of whom have passed away He was born in Michigan, but at about eighteen years of age cross ed the plains, arriving in San Fran cisco early in 1850

MILLIONS READY FROM
 FORESTS FOR ROADS

A ALBUQUERQUE, Mar. lO.-The development of the National Forest road systems in New Mexico and Ari- zona, as well as throughout the na- tional forests of the country, is giv- ! en great impetus by the terms of the postoffice appropriations act which the president has just signed. Besides increasing by $2O0,OOO,0OO the total fund available under the feder- al aid roads act. the new law makes available for expenditure by the sec retary of agriculture $9,000,OO0 for roads and trails within or partly with in the forests. The local officials of the forest service, in cooperation with the of flee of public roads and the states of Arizona and New Mexico and vari- ous counties of those states, have al re.dy made plans for extensive road and ira1l construction. The location survey for some of these roads have already been completed, so that con struction can be started in the spring as rapidly as labor and equipment can be secured.
 The law also authorizes the secre- tary of war to transfer to the secre- tary of agriculture material, equip ment, anG supplies suitable for high way improvement and not needed by the war department. While most of this will be distributed among the highway commissions Of the states for use on federal aid road projects, not to exceed 10 per cent may be rescred by the secretary of agri- culture for use in building national forest roads and other roads con strucled under his direct supervision.
 Of the new appropriation S3,0OO,0OO is immediately available, and $3,0OO,- GOO will become available July 1. There will also be available $400,000 or more from the ten percent ot na- tional forest receipts. Altogether, therefore, there is in sight for the coming year about $lO,O0O,OO0.
 Under the law preference is given to the employment of honorably dis charged soldiers, sailors, and marines for the required labor.

 From overseas comes tiding to Prescott friends that Captain E. J. Mitchell has won additional honors for gallantry on the field of action, in being decorated with the Belgian Croix de Guerre, the ceremony talk ing place on the Flanders battlefield, the King of Belgium personally be- slowing the American officer this distinguished recognition.
 It is said there are only few such decorations that have been given q foreigner, and the beautiful feature of this occasion was in it being extend ed on the battlefield where Captain Mitchell so courageously and success fully performed a military service that excited admiration in all ranks of the allies, and was particularly gratifying to the Belgium King, many of whose soldiers were affect ed through the dash and daring of this American officer.
 Captain Mitchell has finally receiv- cd the distinguished service cross from General Pershing, for which he was cited recently, and the Prescott officer mas also been recommended for a commission as Major. With all of the glory he has won during the war, this officer closes the letter by saying: "We have helped to fin ish up the job, it has been a good piece of work, and all I am yearning for is home; l want to come back, and there are thousands whose pulses are beating with the same sweet cadence: the sooner we hit tne trail the better"

CLEVER DODGE BOOTLEGGER
 ACCESSORY
FRED CLEMENS, FROM WHOSE HAND OFFICER SHOT GUN IN JEROME ARRESTED ON SOUTH GRANITE YESTERDAY.
That was a clever Dodge.


 One aften hears the expression. l. takes on a new meaning and justi- fies the capital ID" however, in the case of the car bearing Arizona State License No. 23772, series of 1919.
 On the theary that Fred Clemens, aged about 40, and known to have been mixed up in difficulties with the law, had liquor, Sheriff Warren Davis took him and his Dodge car in tow at q South Granite street address yes tcrday. To look at it, one would nev- CT suspect that the car was anything but what it was sold to be-a con venient means of vehicular trans portation, propelled by 4 cylinder gasoline motor. Little would one suspect the true nature of that car.
 Having decided that Clemens, who usually halls from Jerome, was on South Granite street for no particu- lar good purpose, Davis took him in custody and started out 10 establish the fact that all was not what it seemed about that car. After some prodding and poking, he found what he sought-imbedded in the uphol- stery of the seats were d pair of vertical galvanized iron tanks. In the tanks were 113 bottles In the bottles was an amber fluid. In the fluid is hot kick-that is, a wallop is supposed to reside in that fluid, for nobody has sampled it And to complete the details, in the jail is Clemens, and in the county garage is the Dodge.
 If ever there was a motor car fit ted up to be of service to its owner, this Dodge is her, as they might say. Concealing the liquor was not the on- ly thing arranged for when those seat backs were hollowed out. In a fold of the upholstery near the cen ter of the back of each seat is slit, hidden unless one gropes for it. Be low the sits are square holes cut in the tops of the tanks, large enough to permit a man to reach in and ex- tract pint for passing customer.
 Clemens is said to have a record. He is recalled by officials of the county, as the man who picked up a ruction at Jerome some time back, and from whose hand Deputy Sher- if John Munds shot six-shooter.
