 If you have read carefully the eight articles written by H. H. Van Loan, noted scenario writer, which appeared in The Republican recently and noted in detail all the direction given and are following these direc- tions to the letter. you will have a good chance of winning one of the prizes offered fer the best scenarios

Oi course there i- always a flood of the poor kind. But follow the directions laid down by Mir Van Loan and your scenario will not be in the poor class Remember. the contest closes al p. m. on December 30. All scen- arios must be in the office of The Republican by that hour if they arc to be considered by the. judges.

ARREST FOUR WOMEN

Six vhiskey manufacturing plants made from milk cans were the tolls collected by Sheriff John Montgom- cry and his deputies yesterday after noon in raids made in the county. Five of the stills came from the southeast section of the Tempe pre- cinct and one came from house in Phoenix. An unusual feature of the raid was that four women were ar rested as operators of four of the stills taken. One boy was taken with the fifth still and the owner of the
 sixth still was not found. About three gallons of moonshine whiskey and seven 60- gallon barrels of mash were destroyed.
 With the arrest of the four women, all Mexicans, Sheriff Montgomery is faced with g very puzzling situation. l Each of the women has several chill

 PRODUCTION ID
 START IN SPRING

Arizona copper mines probably will resume production some time in the spring, following a long period of in activity as the result of the after war slump in the industry, in the opinion of c. H. Dowell, general man. ager of the Copper Queen at Bisbee, one of the large producers of the country. Mir. Doweu is one of the prominent mining men attending the Industrial Conference here.
 The mines probably will begin production at not more than one-half capacity. sad MT. Dowell, and only
 the "low- cost mines will resume
 operations at first. The principal mines which are able to produce cop per at low expense include the New
 Cornelia, Inspiration. United Verde, United Verde Extension, and Miami, he added.
 Like other mining men attending the conference, Mir. Dowell was chary of definite predictions, but like them he expressed confidence that the
 mines will resume operations at some
 date not far in the future. His opin- ion that production of some sort will
 begin in the spring is shared by other men in the industry.
 Mir. Dowell based his belief on the decreasing copper surplus in the country, which on December 1 was | about 2o0,0 GOO pounds This al present is a stock sufficient for about eight months, or a normal supply foI l three or four months.
 Naturally. the reopening of the ! mines depend on the demand,' said 1 MT. Dowell "Dut the decreases ir l surplus stocks is encouraging. We ! will resume production as soon a: 1 there is market. though operating | costs must be kept to a low level"
