OFFICERS RAID THE BIGGEST
 STILL EVER FOUND IN ARlZ

PHOENIX, Dec. 6.-Federal prohi- bition agents late yesterday after noon uncovered in the foothills, 50 miles northwest of Phoenix, the larg- est illicit distilling plant ever found in the state, according to a state ment issued last night by M. E.. Cas- sidy, fedral prohibition director. The still was in full operation when the officers reached the scene and Geo. Porter and Joe Sullivan were placed under arrest and brought to the coun- ty jail here.
 According to the officers, they have been working on this case for several months, but were unable to locate the position of the still until yester- day. The still was found on the top of hill five miles from the Sullivan ranch near the only spring in the entire district
 The still,a large copper affair, was out in the open and was operated by a large gasoline stove. When the officers reached the place, after following burro trail for five miles over the hills, the still was going full blast.
 Six barrels of "mOonshine" whiskey was seized and more than 600 gal Ions of corn meal mash was poured out Two burros, loaded with liquor and used mash, were intercepted by the officers at the foot of the hill, they said. The burros were going along the trail without a driver.
 According to the officers, the men at the still did not notice their ar proach until they were within 400 feet. and then they attempted to run, but were unable to make their es

Weekly Copper Review
ARIZONA MINING JouRNAL)

While there has been very little 1 change in the copper situation dur 1 ing the past week, nevertheless, the
 reports of the phorphyry coppers 1 made public show that some profits may be made by these mines even with present prices of the metal. | This is important information. for it has been Enown that the porphyries 1 in general were running at. a loss
 and the converting of this loss into profit during the last quarter is ex- l tremely encouraging news. Ray Consolidated converted a $247,- 1 SGT deficit in the previous quarter l into surplus of S57,000 the last | quarter, not large to be sure, but | showing the possibilities. Chino Copper still shows deficit of $47,- ] 323 as against a loss in the pre- | vious quarter of $126,131. Other
 porphyry copper showed substantial l gains.
 I While the increase in production | from month to month is not large l there is a steady increase although | no great increases are expected un- | til such time as some of the con struction programs are completed at the various large mines such as the
  Dominion, the new concentrator at the New Cornelia, the changes at the Phelps Dodge Morenci Branch the new mill, smelter and railroad at the Magma Copper Company and others
 The Miami Copper Company, Miami Arizona, produced approximately six and one half million pounds of cop 1nrs nnfn fa port of the company and it is esti- mated that 5000 tons of ore is be- ing produced daily at this time, which supplies five sections of this concentrator
 Douglas. Arizona produced. approx imately nine and onehalf million pounds of Copper during the month of November. This months produc ton was practically the same as for October
 The Commonwealth Development Company. Pearce, Arizona, is ship ping ore again. According to Frank J. Bryant, secretary, 36 cars were shipped to the Douglas smelter in November and larger shipments are expected for December.
 The surplus stocks of copper are still shrinking and are now estimated to be less than 300,O00.O00 pounds as against about 1,200,000,O00 in May, 1921. However, consumption is exceeding production by about 40,000,000 pounds monthly and this continues the healthy state of the market.
 While it is generally anticipated and predicted that the price of cop per is due for a rise past the IA cent market very shortly it is not felt that it is due for any skyrocket- ing. South American producers with feXibility of production and very low costs would be stimulated to larger production with higher prices. It is reported that Chile Copper costs run about 61k cents.
 Some of the new plants in the state are pretty nearly ready for their initial runs, that of the Stargo Mines Go. Inc, at Morenci scheduled for December 18th and that of the Arizona Standard Copper Company at Parker scheduled for the early part of next month
 Statements by well informed men are generally bullish, some coming from men who have been pessimistic in the past and there seems to be very little variation from the ex- presslon,a long list agreeing that cop per has seen it's worst days, that the big surplus has been about wiped

NO FLYING FISH AT MANDALAY
Sta over 100 Miles Away and China

KipIinq in Error.

Mandalay, Burma.-With its thou
sand pagodas, its deserted palaces and
its picturesque ruins, the city of
Mandalay continues to be a place of
chief attraction for the European or
American visitor to Burma.
The palace grounds, surrounded by
a wall and moat, are about a mile
and a half square. The buildings have
a cheap gaudiness about them which
compares in many ways to that of an
American street carnival. Still pre-.
served are the throne rooms and the
apartments of the king, the senior
queens. Mindon Min, the next to the
last king Of Burma, married 81 wives
seeking, evidently, to discover what
the '57 varieties" are like.
From the palace grounds an Amer.
ican taxi takes the visitor to the foot
of Mandalay hill, one Of the holy
places of Burma Buddhism. Here
those who are adherents of the Bud
dhist religion and are willing to re
move their footwear may obtain great
merit by climbing the nearly 400 steps
which lead to the summit. ~
Many Americans have been con
fused as to the exact location Of Man

GREEN APPLES RUN TRACTOR
chemist-Farmer in Washington Makes
Alcohol From Waste Crop
From Orchard.

Monitor, Wash.-Driving his tractor
with alcohol distilled from a mash of
green apples picked at thinning time,
a local orchardist claims he is in a
way to utilize many other waste prod
ucts in manufacturing this material.
Tons of green apples fall annually
during the regular June drop, while
as many more are removed to leave
room for the growing of the first-grade
fruit, and as rule these are wasted
because Of immaturity.
A graduate of an eastern college
and a student of experiments made by

from by-products, this owner has been

that many good men are kept

such people.
