Mooushipe Still at Miami.

MIAMI-Deputy Sheriffs Wilson and Burnham this morning raided a house in Davis canyon and discov- cred a full-fledged moonshine whis- key outfit. The ingenious owners had constructed still of copper, cop per cap to bolt down on it and cop per worm to pass through barrel of water to condense the alcohol. It is charged that George Popovich, Dave Vuksanovich, and Louie Vuksanovich are the owners of the outfit and have been making a white whiskey or al- cohol from raisins, and that Dave Vuksanovich has been selling the de- coction mixed with soft drinks in his pool hall on Gibson street. They waived preliminary examination and were held to the superior court under bonds of 5000 each. When they get through with the state courts they may face federal charge of operat- ing an illicit still.

Bootleg Booze at a Bargain.

Prices on bootleg booze are tumb- ling in Jerome since the shutdown. Dealers are putting on bargain sales in order to dispose of their stocks and leave for pastures new.
 Nine dollars a pint was the pre- vailing quotation before the big min ing companies carried out their threat to shut down. Now the very best brands are to be had at $10 a quart, which is equivalent to S5 pint. This is a flat reduction of nearly fifty per cent.
 Further drops are expected as so many of the regular customers of the bootleggers have left the camp that they cannot continue in business ex- cept at loss. Some few of the boot leggers may go to work and continue to retail tarantula extract as side line but the ordinary bootlegger re- gards is as a disgrace to stoop to vul- gar toll.

AERIAL TRANSPORTATION
 COMPANY IS DOOMED

DOUGLAS-That Douglas will be on the Apache Aerial Transportation company's mail and passenger line from Fl Paso to Los Angeles is almost an assured fact as the result of a re- cent luncheon in the breakfast room of the Hotsl Gadsden. A number of Douglas men subscribed for stock in the company and indications are that the subscription roster in this section will be boosted quite bit as soon as the public is aware of the great pos abilities of the undertaking.
 A dozen leading business and pro- fessional and newspapermen, met as guests of Mir. A. H. Mckenzie, rep resentating the Apache company, and to his clean and matter-of- fact explanation of what has been done, what is being done and what the intends doing in the future.
 MT. Mackenzie stated positively that the first aeroplane with its crew and 20 newspapermen of the east would start its flight for Arizona and Los within the next 30 days.

HAVE NOT DEMOBILIZED
 ARMY OF TYPEWRITERS

The machine-guns have quit, but the typewriters are still busy. Up and down the length and breadth of the army they go battering their way on through service records, from-to-sub- jects, pay rolls, acquisitions, trans fers, court martial data, travel or ders, clothing slips, passes, and-yes --orders home.
 The army typewriter-male, female and nanimate-never were busier than they are right now. Company clerks and sergeant-majors are more regal than they have ever been, not to say more pressed for time. But there is always the blessed thought that the way home lies along a path of carbon paper.
 The army typewriter-inanimate-- has Lad to stand for lots of abuse during these later months. It is con- ceivable that 1t might take. perhaps actually has taken, two or three com plete batteries of typewriters to get a single mess kit moved from one bar. racks to the next. But a general could not send an army into action unless some other general ordered him to-usually by means of typewriter Stars and Stripes.

Neuus of Interest Gathered Here and There m the State
Two Highway Bills Favored.

PH0ENIX-Two highway bills have found favor in the eyes of the state senate, one, the thirty million dollar bond measure, weathering its third reading in spite of an attempt to make the board provide for in the bill appointed by the governor. The bill as passed the reading provides that the board to appoint the propos- ed state highway commission shall consist of the governor, secretary of state, auditor and attorney general.
 The other road measure was the $200,000 additional funds bill, which passed the senate by a vote of IA to 2. Winsor, father of the bill, explain ed that the sum was for immediate use on five roads now in course of construction, which would be delay ed if included in the big highway bill, whose funds would not be available for some time.

 A priest appeared in the office of the clerk of the court, and returned the license issued on January 16 to Leon Morales, 26, and Cista Alonza, 25, both of Cashion. The girl, he said was dead.
 When the license was granted the pretty bride-elect was ill and day by day, young Morales waited her i'm provement that the marriage might take place. Too weak to even respond to the words of the priest, it was ne. cessary for Cista to postpone her wed, ding day. She too wished to appear in the gown she had selected for hei bridal day. Instead, she wore it al her funeral.-Phoenix Messenger.

Shooting at Bisbee,

A lively street duel in Bisbee re- suited in Police Officer Tom Mooney and Joe Todd, an old timer of Bisbee, being taken to the Copper Queen hos pital with bullet holes through their legs. Both will recover, it was said.
 The story of the affair is that Off, ficers Tom Mooney and William Sher- Till and Special Officer Dave Foster suspected Todd of bootlegging and when they called on him to halt, it is alleged Todd opened fire. Mooney was shot twice, but pulling his own re- volver he retaliated and shot Todd through both legs, then Sherrill clinched with Todd and ended the fracas.
