IRAHAM MAKES STATE
 MENT ABOUT FL TIGRE
Ia TAKES POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY AND EVERYTHING
 THAT IS ON TT.

As stated yesterday p. F. Graham l P returned on the afternoon train from I the Fl Tigre mine where he went to i ] take possession of the property in the l name of the Ensenan3a Mining com ] pany. a Mexican corporation which I he and the original owners of the El 'Tigre mine organized at Cananea some two or three weeks ago. This l Fnsena0da Mining Company was organized for the purpose of talk l ing over the Fl Tigre property in case the payment due the original owners was not made on the sixth of this month. according to the bond and Agreements. The original owners Of the Fl Tigre are stockholders in the E,nsenanda company, but this stock RIr. Graham holds an option on and has made a substantial payment for it. The Ensenanda company received from the original owners Of the El Tigre mine Q transfer of all their in- ferests in the payments yet due from the Fl Tigre Mining company. Thus it will be seen that B. F. Graham and his. associates now, whoever they may be. are in full charge of ll-El Tigre mine. by the control and option on the stock of the Ensenanda company.
 Yesterday afternoon Mir. Graham re counted some of the grievances which he had against the Kansas City peo- pie. and they are a plenty. according to his story.
 Mir Graham was the promoter oi the Lucky Tiger-Combinatiop Gold Mining company and the Mexican cor roration organized in connection with it. The company was stocked for s65G.00O and the purchase price of the property was 5000 000 Originally Mir. Graham. MT Shatuck, Mir. Hood and the original owners of thenine pur- chased sI59 900 worth of the stock Of the company at par and the kansas City people took an equal amount oi the stock also at par Mir Graham became the president and general manager of the company which he held until the annual meeting in Arril last when the Kansas City people, by the formation of a voting trust which Messrs Graham and Shattuck had been induced to join, by prom ises which were never kept, accord ing to Mir. Graham. secured control of the property by deposing Mir Ora ham as president and MT. Hood and others as directors. This was the be- ginning of the friction which has been kept up from that time to the present
 Mir. Graham says that he has eyi- -dence that it was the deliberate in tention of the Kansas City people to wreck the company and freeze out all the local holdings.
 Regarding the payment at Bisbee AIr. Graham says that MT. Morse. the attorney for the Lucky TigeT-Combin ation company. refused it when dc lnand was made in writing. according to the terms of the bond. Refusal f-aH n he terms of the agreement the property was to revert to the original owners and that be. as the representative oi all the interests of the original owners took possession of the property and e poets TO hold it.
 Arriving at the mine the situation was explained to Er. Wylie, who wal in charge of the property: he express ed his qualification at seeing MT Graham again in charge of the prop erty and expressed his willingness ant desire to enter his employ. MT. Wy lie was then put in charge of the prop erty for the Ensenanda company ana all the men were given their old DO sitions and the work at the mine moved right along as thougf there had been no change CT disturb ance in conditions.
 Nothing has been heard from tho Kansas City people; what they ar' intending to do in the premises is ye unknown. but it is the opinion tha they are somewhere in Mexico trying to get suit started in the courts After it became known in Douglas that Mir Graham was arranging tC take possession of the property Mir DeCamp and Attorney Morse coulC have reached the property had thel Fal~.Na force instead of going to the min' they left for Fl Paso, since whioi nothing has been heard from them.
 It is quite likely that there will bl something heard from the Kansas City people in the near future, as Mr McMulien. the local representative admits that they are not idle.
 Speaking of the conditions at th' mine Mir. Graham says that it nevei looked better: the mill is not able t run continually on account of short age of water. but that can easily b' remedied as soon as the necessarl pipe can be procured for bringing th' water to the mill. The mill is doin' excellent work and Ire mine is in ex cellent shape.
 MT Graham took an inventory O everything on the mining property He did not find much Of the high grade ore and practically no concentrates as a pretty good cleanup had beer made few days before his arrival in anticipation of a visit from the naI agers of Kansas City. Mr. GTahsn makes no claim to the high grade ori or concentrates which were e1route t' the railroad
 MT Graham says the headquarterl of the Ensenanda mining company vii be in Douglas and in the same room. formerly occupied by the Fl Tigr' company.
