estimated arrests and seizures for June.
These statistics were prepared by the
old Prohibition Bureau, which operated
under Prohibition Commissioner Doran
until the Department of Justice took
over prohibition enforcement on July
/. and showed that about 100000 gall
Ions of spirits and 100000 gallons of
malt liquor had been seized. In addi-
ton agents of the bureau seized SITS
automobiles.
During the year the majority of stills
were captured in the Southern States.
About so per cent had capacity of less
than 100 gallons daily, while per cent
had a capacity of 500 gallons a day.
OF the total the figures showed only
about per cent were found to be OPP
Grating on denatured alcohol, while the
others used corn, corn meal, corn sugar,
molaSses and cane sugar to produce
liquor.
Many stills captured in the South
were Of the old moonshine variety,
which were operating before there was
a prohibition law.
Corn sugar stills during the last few
years have shown an increase. Doran
recently said this variety of Illicit dis
tillers had turned to corn sugar and
were producing as good grade of al
cohol as that turned out in the indus
trial plants operating under permits.

Juneau Boxer and Canad- ian Pugilist Sign
 for Main Event

Thirteen is likely to prove an unlucky number for Nena Gurvich a pugilist of considerable preten- sions, who halls from Prince Ru- pert, B. c. On that day in No vember, he will meet in the squared circle Miles Murphy, likely expon- ent of the manly art of self-defense who calls Juneau his home. Too bad, the bout will not be held in this city. It is scheduled for Ket- chikan, and will be the main event at a smoker-at which spectators, as usual, will be requested to re- frain from smoking-under the au- spices of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. Both disciples of the dried apple ear fraternity are expected to weigh in at 150 pounds.
 According to records, Gurvich seems to be a fairly capable work man. Tn his last two appearances in Ketchikan, he knocked out his opponents.
 But Murphy is no stranger to knockout victories. He has admin istered them on several occasions for the edification of the home town folk. He is confident he will demonstrate to Ketchikan that he knows more than Gurvich about the sour science
