Tombstone epitaph., 1891-06-28
Pera,.n ssran,.

A recent dispatch says that the Casa Grande Improvement Company of New York (the Peralta Grant claim ants) will soon present its petition to the new land court to determine the title of 4,7OO 900 acres of land in Ari- zona.
 It is su old Spanish claim and the estimated value of the land is between eight and ten million dollars
 This petition will probably be the first business to come before the Land Court which will soon organize and be in working order.
 The Casa Grande Improvement Company limited. of Arizona, which has been organized for three or four years. has A capital stock ofsl. 900, 900.
 In case the Peralta claim is success ful, titles of actual settlers will not be disturbed as the U. s. law protects them.
