PROHIBITION CHIEF
 WARNS PURCHASERS

PHOENlX. July 20-That the pur- chaser as Well as the seller Of in. toxicants may be prosecuted on char. ees of entering into a conspiracy to violate the provisions of the prohi- bidon act was the declaration yes terday Of w. c Webb, state prohi- bition director, following the arrest and arraignment Of w x. Miller, who had been taken into custody during the day by Fred Weage, de- putty United States marshal. Miller was chsged with conspiracy to yio- late the liquor law. and after this ar. raignment before John B.

AGO CTS. OF BOOZE
 1REAsuRE TROVE

MIAMI, July 21.-How would you like to find AGO quarts of good old booze? Well, that was the good luck Or misfortune, whichever you prefer to call it, of party motoring from Eden to Globe.
 Out of the desert they broke their car. Two of the party started out for little hunt and ran into something buried A little excavating proved that they had discovered a cache of 400 quarts of booze, it is re- ported The whiskey had been there so long that the labels were routed off the bottles.
 It is said that the booze was de- stroyed. No they didn't say how.
 The foregoing was taken from the Gila Valley Farmer of Stafford. We have strong suspicion that the ed- tor of the paper, unknowingly, per haps, tells only part of the story.
 About four years ago when the big cars were running the Graham coun- iy blockade from Lordsburg. in des- perate attempts to irrigate the Miami Globe district, a big car temporarily eluded the Graham county officers, crossing the Gila river at Pima with the idea of again crossing the Gila at the ford near the town of Eden, and then on 10 Globe.
 Somewhere in the vicinity Of where the treasure was unearthed the block ade runner, suffering from a severe attack of cold feet. ditched his cargo in various places. He proceeded on his way, after unloading. Some Pima NhaPo' AiOA pAAANNlSf ldliliildl with modas operandi of blockade run ners trailed the car and unearthed a quantity Of the booze. IL was known that somewhere in that vicinity the bulk of the cargo remained cached, awaiting the treasure hunter.
 It would seem that the finding of the booze was not wholly accidental Treasure hunters have been known to favor that particular section of the country with diligence second only to long standing search for the silver and gold bullion alleged to have been cached by the early Spanish padres on Graham mountain. not far from this booze find

IRATE TOURIST WAS
 ROUTED IN lOROSBURG.

A tourist from Pecos, Texas, drove into the Day & Night Garage in this city this morning and amid outbursts of anger and advanced profanity told of tale of woe that was heart rend- ing, to say at least
 This was his first trip into this part of the country, he said, and would be the last At Lordsburg he drove his car into Scott's garage, purchased SUD- plies and inquired about the road to Bisbee He was told to go to Will cox, then through Cochise and Pearce to Tombstone, and on to Bisbee.'
 He did but vowed in no small man. ner that upon his return to Lords. burg in the fall there will be work for the hospital.
 The road in New Mexico from Lordsburg to San Simon was the worst alleged highway I ever saw in my life, and this is no exaggeration although I've travelled over quite few COW trails in west Texas IL was next to impossible. came upon one car with two broken springs and a Ford Sedan completely out of the running You can imagine what those people think of your roads. helped tow another car big Sedan fifteen miles into San Simon.
 Tn Fl Paso was told to take the Lordsburg Rodeo road to Douglas, but a; Sco;t's garage. was advised in Lordsburg that the Lordsburg -Rodeo road could only be negotiated with a flying machine"
 Utterly disgusted he left for Bisbee where he will meet his brother and double back on his way to California. where he will spend a few months touring the Pacific coast.
 Cases of this kind are absolutely uncalled for, but this practice has been carried on in Lordsburg for over a year and Lordsburg, through its cham ber of commerce, should put stop to il, out of fairness to the innocent mo,orist, if for no other reason.
 The road races from Fl Paso to Phoenix were run from Lordsburg to Roieo over the Borderland route; the Bankhead highway is routed this way and big military convoy is now on its way and will travel that route. It is official routing of the old Spanish Trails. in the state highway of New Mexico, and in the best route. ye: there are some people in Lordsburg who deliberately direct tourists over the inferior route for petty business reasons.

SILVER MINE OWNERS FORM AN ASSOCIATION
 TO REVIVE INDUSTRY

! MORALES, July l9-The chamber
 Of commerce has joined with Charles
 Butters. mining expert Of New York
 and San Francisco, to promote the
 formation in Mexico of an association 1 of silver mine owners and silver pro- | ducers to rebuild the abandoned hints ' throughout the nation and thus bring about once more the free and unlim. ! tied coinage of silver. Mir. Buffers states that if the Oldtime minting plan is re-established it will mean
 that Mexico will coin 500 1000 .00J ounces of silver.
 The mining exper, has extensive
 interests in mines in Mexico, Salva- dor and Nicaragua and is known or his introduction of the cyanide re- duction process in Mexico. He says that the greatest need in Mexico to-
 day is small change and hard mol- ey".
 The revolutions and the world war says Mir. Butters have stripped Mex. leo bare Of silver coin. In it's place he says is a vast quantity of paper money issued by the varying govern ments as fight money He planes the great flood of paper money in Mexicof or most of the suffering in tha, nation in connection with the various revolutions.
 His plan, backed by the Nogales 1 Chamber of Commerce, is to have 1 the old hints rebuilt and placed in operation by the association Of sil- l yer mine interests al the cost of the | association and place the hints in ! operation. Then the costs of the re. | newed hints would be recovered by | the association from the mint pro- fits over course of years. Upon ! the paying out of the capital charge 1, in restoring the hints, they are to | be returned 10 the Mexican federal government as it's property to be | sion of the Mexican government
 The system. according to the sill yer mine experts has threefold. ben. efits. First it will at once restore to Mexico the hard money" and small change needed by merchants, banks and businessmen and now lacking. Second, i, wnl provide a permanent primary market at home for large amounts Of silver produc. tion. Third, 1t will stabilize the sil. yer market because the Mexican home requirements will take up a great quantity Of silver now export. ed and sold on the speculative mar ket through San Francisco to the Orient. Also, this will serve 10 sti. mulate silver production because of thus raise the primary market price for the semi-precious metal.
 President Bracy Curtis of the Chamber of Commerce has named a committee of prominent men to take up the mint proposal with Gen eral Alvaro Obregon on his impend. ing visit to his home in Nosales. Sonora, in this month. ,t
 Meanwhile the proposition will be submitted by the Nosales Chamber of Commerce to the civic bodies of all other border cities and the off. cials of border states. u

A WORLD WIDE PUBLICITY

iuc ->otioudi oSobIaphiS "oeo zine for July has an excellent arti cle entitled Along Our Side of the Mexican Border" by Frederick Sim pich. formerly American Consul al N0gales, Mexico and we'll known to our readers and people of the south west makes many references to Tombstone and vicinity. After dts cribing the border from Brownsville Texas to Naco, Arizona we find this reference.
 West from Naco, conspicuous in the vast grassy stretches of the San Pedro Valley. the straight row of stone monuments marches on. to climb into the wooded Huachuca Range; and a few miles to the north. west lies the shell Of ancient, iii quitous, profllgate Tombstone. The baffling psychology of names is no more strikingly shown than here From the day in 1878 when EJ Schieffelin, lodging Apaches, slip ped into this canyon with his bur ros and struck the ledge that made him millions, Tombstone achieved fame. Motor parties on the Border land Trail now pass this old pros pector's tomb an odd pyramid of boulders near the spot that made him rich. Here are such names as the Ground Hog, and the "LucRy Cuss". Ore from .he latter ran nire thousand dollars I tor Here one pi acer jester occassionil.; issued the Arizona Kicker. whose heroes used guns that sho, around the cor. ners and up stove pipes. Another sheet is tor was) named the Epi. taph; and hereabouts later on, the lively imagination of Alfred Henry Lewis gave us the "Wolfville" stor. ies.
 And later on in the article MT Simpich says, significant of chang. ing things, scores of well to do trav. ellers now desert the comfortable Pullmans to motor along the Border. land trail. following the old stage route past historic Tombstone and San Xavier.
 The article covers some twenty pages including a profusion of de- lightful illustrations. As every one knows this great magazine has a world wide circulation and while this article was not written to boos: highways yet il does that thing for the Borderland route and especially does it contain interesting data on the country traversed by the old Spanish Trails route from the neighborhoOd of San Antonio to San Diego and of course that means as well the Borderland route from Fl Paso 10 San Diego as both routes to. sether with the Bankhead Military Highway are the same from Fl Paso.
