 Invade the Dragons

A big mihing deal which is of much importance to Tombstone, and psrtic- ulsrly 70 Gleeson and the Dragon range of mountains, was consum- mated yesterday when the c. & A. Go. of Bisbee secured a bond on the prop erty of the Leadville Mining Co. in Turquoise Mining district.
 This deal has been pending for some time, but was formally closed this week through John Gleeson and Doug las Gray, who conducted the negotis tions.
 The c. X A Co. has already taken charge of the Leadyi.le property, and some extensive developments are con- templated. Three new shafts are to be sunk, modern hoists and equip ment installed and the ground thor oughly explored.
 Mir. John H. Talbot, an eminent mining engineer, will have charge Of the company operations, and leaves the management of the Cauanes Central Go. to direct the work. Today two carloads of lumber, the first of a series of shipments, arrived in Tomb stone to be taken to the mines, and preparations are made for trsnspor- tstion of much machinery and sup plies from here to Gleeson from which it will be observed that Tom mbstone will be the supply point.
 The bonding figure of the property is not officially stated, but it is un- derstood to be $3O0,OO0.
 The Lesdville Co. is capitalized at $500, ,00n, and the transfer is made on basis of 50 cents per share. The Lesdville group is regarded as val. uable one, and has been isvorably re. ported upon by some of the most em- inent mining engineers of the west. The ores of the group are sulphide, carrying a heavy percentage of sul- phur and iron and making an ideal ore for smelting
 The fact that the c. and A. gre op- i ersting in the Dragons will direct at. tention of mining men to the wonder ful mining possibilities of that range and givs sn impetus to mining activ- lty aloup the entire beit

evidence introduced. Several little tilts were had by counsel and the case stubbcrnly contested It is expected the case will be submitted this alter noon.
 With the dismissal of the case yes terdsy against Alfonso Martinez, the last If the Mexican revolutionist cases are disposed of in the U $ court. Rameriz. who was tried last term, is now serving two years sentence. and the others were deported.
 One of the surprises in yesterdays court proceedings in securing A jury was the discovery that MT. c. Leon one of .he trial jurors in the Semple case. wrs not eligible, owing to the fact tha. he had never taken out his naturalization papers. He served four years in the Union army in the war of the rebellion and labored under tut lthtttssltu tuhl nt Nhs iuh- iedged citizen from the fact of having given such service to the U. s.
 It develops, however. that he is in error as law passed to cover such cases simply states that those who have rendered such service may use their discharge papers in securing their first naturalization papers. MT. Leon states that for years he has served on grand and trial juries in Fort Worth, Fl Paso and Tombstone, and has voted for years and he is of the opinion that its pretty hard to find out at this stage oi the game that he is not nor ever has been a son of Uncle Sam.
 It will take him two yesrs to be- come a full fledged citizen. The case brought up quite discussion as tc what effect his case might have or recent cases on which he sat as c juror.

 The Cochise County Board of Super. visors acting as Board of Equaliza. ton has again passed the "buck" to the territorial Board of Equalization [ in regard to the placing of the assess ed valuation per acre on the non pro. ducing patented mining claims. The | Board here has placed valuation of To per acre on such claims oi that class and a valuation of Sl5 per acre on thos. that are being worked. Last year the County Board placed the value at S5 | per acre and the Territorial Board raised it zoo per cent. When the mat ter Of fixing these valuations came up nefore the Board, there was consider able discussion among the members and the above valuations was fixed by Messrs Bowen and McCabe while Chair man Riggs voted against it. This rate will affect the valuations placed by Assessor Howe on some HOO mining claims in the County but not materi- ally affect the total valuations. Asses sor Howe had fixed the valuations of claims at S20 per acre in the Warren District and at Sl0 per acre in the districts of the County,
 Besides this the Board made num- Der of raises, the assessments of the Peoples Cash store in Bisbee on the stock of merchandise was raised from 5000 to 5000 Brown and Hortivz, merchsndise, Bisbee raised from s!s50 to 5000.

The Board has adjourned tc meet on third Mon day in August at which time they will listen to any complaint in regard to the proposed raises and during the session of the Board will fix the rate for this year which is expected to be about Sl 75 per hundred.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed you have Q rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed, Deafnesscis the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Cstarrh, which is noth- ing but an infiamed condition of the mucuous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by cstarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars free.
