T0BE CRANES CLAIMS
 TO BE INCORPORATED.

DOUGLAS, May 4. - Special. )-
 The property of Armstrong & Wal lace is attracting considerable atten ton of late. As an illustration of tht very delicate margin between the cul and the lip, it appears that Frank U Armstrong. the veteran engineer, sen an agent to Cananea to denounce the ground which now constitutes the fa nous Bell property in the Tordillo dis trict. The officials asked him if h, had the government stamps along. H had not and was compelled to go dowI to Ronquillo to procure them, whic' errand consumed about an hour. II the meantime other parties came il and. being fully prepared, denounce the ground, which today IS conserve lively estimated to be worth half {; million dollars. Messrs. Armstron' and Wallace, however, still have som very promising prospects in the sam locality. for which they are receivini complete titles. The Roosevelt No. l consisting of twenty-one pertenencias is opening up in good shape, while thr Roosevelt Consolidated, of 150 perte nencias, will shortly be the theater oi active development work. These mer are to be congratulated on the reward which bids fair to crown their unfal tering faith in the Cerra Tordillo dis trict.
