Entering the place they found a complete still in operation. with all the necessary paraphernalia necessary to making white mule
 F. w. Mead. an aged prospector who has resided in that section of the mountain. was in charge of the apparatus and was placed under ar rest and together with his outfit was brough: 10 the county jail in Tomb stone this afternoon.
 The still is a unique affair. in that il is made from 3 fre-extinguisher tank. holding about four gallons. The tank is of pure copper and has a screw Id 10 keep the steam from eS- csping. while the operator had packe ! bread dough around i; 10 make it leak proof
 In one side a hole had been drilled and a copper tube inserted, to which the man attached the worm, also of copper.
 When the officers entered the still was in operation full blast and white mule was running from the end of the tTbe. The tank was iu.l of mash and the apparatus was still warm when i: arrived at the sherif's office, while their remained some of the al- cohol in the tube. which burned like wood alcohol when match was ap- piled.

 The White Metal Mining company is the name of the concern which last year purchased the old Pioneer and Howard mines. located al Pionee-r just over the line i'll Gila county. This property consists of Is claims in the center of the Pioneer mining district. about six miles northeast of Troy, on the south slope of the Finals.

The High Cost Of Economy.

Economy is something practiced by
people who don't have TO economize.
Mrs. Wealthy buys eggs by the doz-
ems and puts them down I'm water
glass. Mrs. Poor never could afford
more than one dozen eggs at one time
regardless OF price.
Mrs. Wealthy buys -four and sugar
by the barrel-at great saving. Mrs.
Poor buys hers blythe pound-and it Is
expensive.
Mrs. Wealthy takes advantage of the
sales and gets real bargains In fur
niture, shoes and clothes Mrs. Poor
can only look in the display windows
longingly.
In short, Mrs. Wealthy uses her head
where Mrs. Poor must use her hus-
bands salary.

money to economize.-G. w. Gabriel

MUST BE BORN 4 SINGER
Certain Formation Of Throat and Noe-
trils Imperative for Utteranoe
Of Sweet Sounds.

According to recent scientific dis
coveries. singing birds, like human
singers, must have certain type of
throat and nostrils. A full throat, large
thorax, open nostrils and slightly pro-
truding lips with good length from the
point OF the nose to the point of the
chin and full cheeks are, say the scien-
lists. positive signs in a human being
OF the power to give forth tone.
II the ears are round and well set to
the head IL Is a sign not only Of the
power to sing, but to appreciate, and
the combination means the great artist.
with feathered songsters much the
same rules hold good. The round,
somewhat pointed beak OF the canary
opens wide and his thoraI and throat
are exceedingly big for so tiny bird,
according to the Philadelphia North
American. He can hear and appreciate
the smallest sound and his trills and
the beauty OF his tone are due to his
throat, to the roundness OF his head
and the shape OF his bill.
The duck, on the other hand, having
a HAT bill and small throat can only
quack. Even II lie longed to sing he
could not acquire any pleasant notes,
and IL Is the same way with some peo-
pie. The most careful training cannot
give the sound box which nature pro-
woes for those to whom she gives the
great gift Of vocal powers.
