Work on the Railroad Grade-impor- tant Mineral Locations East of Ma co-The Coming Term of District Court.
Tombstone, Oct. 3rd, 1902

Work on the railroad grade between this city and Fairbank is progressing rapidly The grade inside of the city limits has been completed from Com stock hill to Third street, just back of the court house. Toohey's outfit has been moved from the lower end If town to the flat between the Toughnut mill and the Contention hoist. His teams and men are now at work on the hills near there, grading the switch that will run up to the new shaft, while others are at work near the old Cincinnatti shaft, fixing the grade there for the freight yards. 4 few teams were put to work yesterday morning on the old Vizra dump, trough which the road will pass. From the edge of town the grading has been completed for a distance of five miles and there is but little work to be done to connect the balance of the grades It is understood that the work train Is to be put on about the 18th inst, and if such is the case, the iron horse will be inside of the city's gates before Thanksgiving. It is the intention of the city council to give a celebration ef some sort upon its arrival, but as to just what will be arranged for has not been definitely decided.
 During the past week some twenty five to thirty mining claims have been filed in the county recorders office, which are located along the boundary line between United States and Mexi- co, just few miles east of Naco, where the survey stakes of the Yaqui River and Pacific railroad have been set. These claims are located by Shattuck, Gus Landau, Hanninger Bros, Jacob Pirrurgard, and others. From waht we have learned of the matter we find that Naco parties had filed on the ground as agricultural land and had filed homesteads thereon. but the late geological surveyors, who were in that section, reported it as being a mineral country and the land office at Tucson refused to accept the homestead entries. The Bisbee par ties realizing this quickly embraced the opportunity and located the min ing claims, and now have several men at work doing the necessary prelimi- nary development work. It is under stood from a reliable source that the road will cross just few miles east of Naco and such being the case, Messrs Shattuck, Hanniger, ct al, will make considerable profits of the surface ground of their mining claims.
 The coming term of district court promises to be lengthy term. There were some thirty civil cases continued over, besides on the criminal docket, were four murder cases and two rob bery cases Since last June some thir- ty civil cases have already been filed, while the. county jail has about fif- teen inmates, being held to await the action of the grand jury. while there ere a number of prisoners out on bond, whose cases will be called at the December term.
 The bad condition of the republican party in this city is evident from the fact that they could not find anyone to take the nomination for councilman, for three wards, or for chief of police. In the city and county precinct ticket they only nominated Emanuel for may or. Ashman for councilman from Third ward, andA. T. Shuster for jus Hce of the peace, and Chas. Riser fol constable. The democrats will met
