pany. The drilling having been com pieted, Barber left last night for Los Angeles, and all but four of the rigs have been shipped out. A few will be left to care for the business of put ting down private wells that has been developed.
 The wells have been lined with riv- eted steel castings manufactured in Phoenix by the local factory of the Los Angeles manufacturing company in charge of John H. Todd. The plant has been recently enlarged in view of the business being developed and is now fully equipped to build riveted steel culverts in any size.
 About 15,000 feet of riveted steel casing was used to line the wells, and Phoenix has benefited by a large local payroll in it's production
 The pump houses are nearly all built, the power lines te carry the Water Users juice to their wells are prac- tically completed and the pumps and motors are being rapidly installed. The pumps are the Layne and Bowler type, made in Los Angeles, and the motors are of the well known Wagner con- struction. The pumps have capacity of three and a half second feet, or for the 45 wells a combined production at a full head of 157 second feet of water
 The drilling and equipping of these wells is expected to not only lower the water table in the valley and pre- vent the waterlogging of lands. but to add quite an appreciable amount of water to the supply available for irri- gation. The quality of the water se- cured is reported to be very good throughout the valley.

OFFICERS RUN DOWN SOURCE
 IF WHITE MULE
Two Men Plead Guilty to Charge of Operating Still
 Said to Have Supplied Local Bootleggers with Product

What the authorities, county and federal, are inclined to think is the big gest haul in the line of moonshiners that has recently occurred was the arrest last week Of the Williams broth CTS near Mesa.
 It seems, according to the story told by Sheriff Montgomery, that for many moons they had been seeking and smelling to find the source of the ap- parently unlimited supply of white mule" new moonshine corn whisky, that was being retailed by the boot logging fraternity in this section.
 Several of the brethren had been caught with the goods" and the goods were invariably the same, pure white product with an awful wallCp. Sev- eral retailers of this choice product had been convicted. but not one of them would tell where he secured his stock in trade. Perhaps they had an eye to future business when their time fin stir was up.
 Accident Gave Them Away
 Then one day Sheriff Hall of Pinal county took in an assorted pair of bootleggers, of both sexes, who are said to have had 20 gallons of liquid dynamite in a car they were heading in the general direction of Globe and Miami. From them was secured. by merest accident, tip as to where it was coming from, and the Williams brothers were put under surveillance. But they apparently had received tip from somewhere, and when the sher- ifs and federal officers descended upon them with search warrants, they could find no still. but they did find evidences of mash" that confirmed fact that booze had been made some where around there.
 Later, still more evidence was se- cured, and Sheriff Montgomery went out to the place and found both the brothers absent. Their wives and chilrren were there, however. The sheriff informed the women that they s'had the goods" on their husbands, and advised them to have the men come in and surrender, otherwise they would become fugitives from justice. Federal warrants charging them were in the meantime being issued.
 The sheriff had not been in his office Fan hour when the brothers came in and voluntarily surrendered. They were taken before Commissioner HenkA Friday after which they were

London. July S.-Opposition to try

general view in these circles when
in an address before the British EN-

Therefore, why try the Kaiser?"
