 Ph. Freudenthal c. F. Solomon and J. D. Blake, owners of the Goodview group or mining claims situated 1F
 .he Lone Star district, last week bond al their property for 1000 to New York capitalists, who will commence development work at an early date. Considerable development work has already been done on the property by the old owners, and the claims are good prospects. A shaft 100 feet deep has been sunk on one of the claims, with good results, in addition to 300 feet of tunnel work The old owners worked the TEopeyty with good re- suits, but the ore was not rich enough to be handled by parties with limit ed amount of capital. However, it is reported that the new owners are pre- pared to expend plenty of money and develop the property systematically
 Dr. J. M. Jackson and Joseph Fuchs of New York, are the principal owners and made personal inspection of the property. They were well pleased and immediately took the bond J S

ORPHEUh CIRCUIT
 FOR SHELTER CITY
McCIure'S Enterprise Assures Metropolitan Line
 of Attractions.

l DOUGLAS, March 9.-(Special) )- Manager Mcclure, of the Orpheum l returned from @ trip to Fl Paso today and has made arrangements with Manager Frank Leake, of the Frank i lin and new Texas street Grand thea | ters of that city, to bring all the vau. deville artists to Douglas after they have completed their engagements with Mir. Leake. It is MT. McClure's | determination to give the people of ! Douglas entertainment of the very 1 best class and is sparing no time or expense in perfecting his plans. He
 realizes that Douglas is rapidly be- coming a city with metropolitan airs and is therefore entitled to shows as
 good as any of the large cities can produce.
 The Orpheum opens Sunday night, presenting Orpheum circuit attrac- tions. These artists have been brought here at considerable expense from New York, Chicago and San Francisco, and they will appear next ] week beginning with Sunday night with the best show ever seen at the Orpheum and the prices will be with in the reach of everyone. The prices for the vaudeville performances will be 50 cents for the first five rows of seats; 35 cents for the next fifteen rows; 25 cents for general admission, down stairs, and Is cents for the bas- cony.
 The performance Sunday night will open with the famous black face comedian Vine Martin in songs and
 dances. The second act will be the great Italian tenor singer, ST. Umbre- to Bucchieri, late with the San Car los Opera company; act three, the
 wonderful Earle Girdeller with his | trained dogs; act four, the handsome Miss Maze Burton, baritone and rag i time singer, the only lady in this country possessing "a voice of a true baritone quality; act five, Wal ter Mccullough and company in bur lesque on the melodrama; act six, the | celebrated musical Pays, who can get
 music out of anything and they spring 1 a few jokes that are not at all old. Probably the most clever of their stunts is a boxing match with bells 1 on their hands and feet, playing a | tune while they are boxing. They al
 so get some good music out of a lot
 of brass discs which they spin on a glass table. It is to be hoped that the people of | Douglas who love good, clean yaude- vile performances will show their ap- preciation of Mir. McClure's efforts to please them, by giving him a packed 1 house every night. He wants the Douglas people to understand that he stands behind this show with his guarantee that it is clean, good, mor-
 al and worthy of patronage.
 These vaudeville attractions will be
 continued at the Orpheum for an in
 definite period with change of bill every week.
 Reserved seat tickets for the open
 ing performance Sunday night will pc
 on sale Sunday morning at the Doug
 las Drug company at prices 35 and 50
 cents.

LABOR TROUBLE MAY
 BE ADJUD|CATED
Committee Named To Arrange For Meeting of Builders
 and Carpenters.

DOUGLAS, March, n.-(Special.)-
 Conditions in the labor situation are such today that those intimate with the situation feel that the way has been paved for an early settle ment of the difficulties existing be- tween the carpenters and contractors. in which event the bricklayers will come owed, as their action in strik- ing is due principally to a feeling that they should reciprocate for an attitude taken by local carpenters some time back when the bricklayers were having some trouble of their own. This is the reason they ascribe for striking. They have no griey- ance against the contractors that would cause them to strike.
 The favorable turn things have talk en is the result of a meeting held last night by the local brieklayers union. After discussing the situation the bricklayers appointed committee to confer with the master builders and carpenters and to try and get them together with a view to arriving at some basis of settlement of the diff ficulties existing between them. It is believed there will be no trouble in arranging for the conference and it is not unlikely that it will take place next Monday Contractor Parsons has indicated his willingness to con fer with the carpenters and it is prob able that the other contractors will also. Contractor Kroeger's attitude as to this proposal was not known to- day as he is out of the city.

Interesting Feature Will Be a Lecture By Father Dalton,
 Fifth Cavalry Chaplain.

DOUGLAS, March 11.-(SpeciaLl-
 Wurrai wurra! And likewise rat tlesnakes. cotton months, gila mon- sters and moccasins!
 For St. Patrick's day falls on Sun dayi
 Hard lines that. for 1t will have the affect of preventing some of the fes- dvities which usually accompany the day But such little thing will no. dsmpen the national ardu of the Irish, and the Douglas contingent of Hibernians will be there strong, in celebration of the day.
 The festivities will be held on the sixteenth, however, and an interesting and elaborate program consisting of music. a lecture and some real Irish recitations by the Chauncey Olcott of Douglas, Con Harvey, will be some of the features.
 The entertainment is entitled a St. Patrick concert and neither Italian nor German music will be heard dur ing the evening. Rather will every thing be drawn from the "auld sod" The songs of Tom Moore will be sung and one of Mir. Harvey's recitations will be the Irish classic, "Casey's Nightmare" The Orpheum will for one night be called the "o'Brien teay- tre." In honor of the day the man agement may decide to paint the structure a brilliant green. There will be neither orange nor red permitted in the color scheme of the stage set ting, with the exception of the red that is in the American flag.
 The feature of the program to which the greatest interest attaches is the lecture of Rev. A. J. Dalton. a Catho- lie priest. who is chaplain of the Fifth cavalry stationed at Fort Huachuca. Father Dalton has been in the Philip pines with the Fifth and has followed the career of that regiment through all the changes and Yicissitudes of the service. He will tell his auditors of some of the experiences he has had in the Philippines and at other sta tions and the quaint customs and man. ner of living of the people of other lands will be told. Fr Dalton is said to be an eloquent speaker and his lec- ture will be well worth hearing. The program will be:
 Selection of Irish airs, Miss Teresa Torpey
 Quartette selection, Elks' Tooth quartette.
 Song, Believe Me if All Those En- dearing Young Charms" (Moore) Miss Irene Neville
 Song, Colleen Bawn," J C. Ham mond
 Song, When Love is Kind" (Moore) Mrs. Jack Baglin.
 Recitations, "Casey's Nightmare" Con Harvey.

DOUGLAS, March n.-(Special)-
 Captain Tom Rynning of the Ari. zona rangers arrived in the city this morning after having been confined in the hospital at Benson for some time n account of illness. Since he was here last Captain Rynning has re. ceived the appointment from Cover nor Kibbey of superintendent of the territorial penitentiary. He is soon t0 assume that position. He is natur- ally much pleased that he secured the appointment.
 Captain Rynning said this morning be did not know what changes his re- tirement from the captaincy of the rangers will bring about. He believes, as does everyone else who knows any thing about it, that Lieutenant Hamy Wheeler, who is just now recovering from gunshot wounds received while performing his duty ss an officer, will succeed him as captain. Further than that he did not express himself. Cap tain Rynning is looking well. consid- ering that he has just passed through a severe spell of Illness.

BOLD BURGLAR RAIDS
 BERT GROVES HOME
Detected By Grove While Leaving House, Works
 Ruse and Escapes.

DOUGLAS. March 11.--(SpeciaL) )-- The home of Mir. and Mrs. B. B. Grove on east Eleventh street was i burglarized at an early hour last even 1 ing by at least two persons and l though Mir. Grove encountered one of them when he went home, by the use of clever .ruse the burglar tempo | rarily drew MT. Groves attention away from him and in that brief time succeeded in getting away before Mir. Grove could apprehend him. The 1 burglars succeeded in getting away with considerable amount of cloth. | ing, a fine pistol and some jewairy. For display of nerve and presence oS mind on the part of the burglar who was caught leaving the house by Mir Grove the annals of crime in Douglas scarcely record parallel. Mir. and Mrs. Grove returned home early In the evening and as Mir. Grove unlocked the front door a man step ped out. He was a stranger to the Groves and instantly Mir. Grove real ized the man was burglar. But the amazing presence of mind of the burg lar for a moment disconnected him.
 Look around the house behind you" said the burglar, in the most matter of fact manner.
 Mir. Grove looked and as he did so the burglar was off and away. Vault ing a fence he sped away with the ease and speed of a track runner and though MT. Grove pursued him he could not overtake the fleeing man. He ran in the direction of the interna- tional line and finally disappeared from the view of MT. Grove.
 In his getaway the burglar encount- cred Alfred Paul and with the effect desired drew the very gun on him that he had stolen from the Grove home. While a pretty onyx handled affair. the artistic construction of the pistol did not appeal to MT. Paul with such force as did its more material features, especially when it was Tn the hands of a fleeing burglar who poked it ominously into his face.
 So the burglar successfully effected his escape Mir. Grove pursued him until he was "sll in" and then gave 1t up and notified the police. who worked vigorously on the case all during the night but did not make any arrests.
 MT. Grove had a good look at the burglar and was enabled to give a fairly good description to the officers. He Is tall, slim and dark complex toned and Is probably a Mexican. He is probably six feet tall and wears a small rnoustache. The officers, Sc curing a good description of the man, spent the night in quest of him. most of which was engaged across the line. While they made arrests they are cuR- fident they have secured such infor- nation as will lead to the ultimate ar rest of the man who did the burglar iZing.
 Among the things st0!.n from MT. and Mrs. Grove were an overcoat, sack coat and a considerable amount of Mrs. Groves effects. Tne fact that the burglar when encountered by MT. Grove had none of them about his person leads to the conclusion that there was more than one burglar.

OFFICERS IN VAIN
 SEARCH FOR MURDER
Proposed Killing Fails to Come 0f-DougIaS Officers
 Hot On Trail,

DOUGLAS, March 11.-(Special)-
 Every officer in Douglas was yes terday afternoon securing the south western end of the city in quest of a reported murder At that time the search had not gone so far that the officers were looking for the murder CT, for they first had to find the crime itself and the directions they had were exceedingly generic in scope. Mexican woman, in great perturbation of mind, reported to Judge Rice that a woman had been killed on Seventh street by two men That was enough to make anyone think that there was something doing, so every officer in the city who could he located was put on the trail.
 The search began on west Seventh street and ayailed nothing. It con tinued for an hour or more when the murder was located on Ninth street It was just . prospective murder. One Mexican had told his brother that the Iatter's wife was not conducting her self with the utmost propriety and he advised his brother that if she was his wife he would cut her throat. A Mexican woman was standing by when this carmine conversation was in progress and her excitable Latin temueranEent at once conjured up scenes of gore. So she made haste to the office of Justice Rice and told him that the woman in the case had been murdered.
 Justice and that gruelling search for the murder demanded victim, |. n bR person of Romano Ortiz. He is the one who had given the lurid advice to his brother. Ortiz is at the city jail and the charge against him Is dis turbing the peace.

|Hc|HENT STRIKE
 IN MEAT MARKETS
About Fifty Doaglas Persons a Day Buy Meat In Mexico
 and Pay Duty on It.

DOUGLAS, March 1.--(Special.) )--
 There is another strike in Douglas.
 It is not 2 union this time but the "peepul.'
 The strike is aimed against the butcher shops of the city and the strikers are some half hundred people who for some time past have been wont to buy their meat in Agua Prieta On all meat bought on the other side they have paid a duty of two cents pound and have done so rather cheerfully, claiming they could afford to pay duty on the Mexican meat and then get of cheap.
 It appears that the Agua Prieta markets have been selling meat at eight cents a pound, which is consid- erably below the prices which ob- tain !n Douglas. Some of the pee pup got onto this and began to buy their meat in Agua Prieta, where, it is said, meat sells at practically the same price, irrespective of quality. Anyway the customs office has been visited by from thirt yto fifty persons day to pay duty on meat brought over the line. Most of the purchases are made in small quantities of from one to five pounds.
 For the last day or so, however, business in the meat line has slack ened considerably at the customs house and the reason of this, it is said. is that the Mexican markets have been unable to stand prosperity and have gore up on their prices to such an extent that it does not offer the inducement in meat buyers from this side it lormerly did.

PAYING FOR AMERICAN.

Boston--The Cole-Ryan interests have paid the Lindsey ey-Estabrook inter ests. former owners of the America property in the Cananea camp, now the Cananea Central Copper Co. the sec ond instalment of $500,00 toward the purchase of these properties.
 To date the Cole-Ryan people have paid $750.000 toward the purchase price of $2,250,000 for the America property; $250,000 was paid down when the option was exercised. the second payment of $500,000 was paid March l, aud the last and final pay ment of s1 800 900 is due to be paid Jan 1. 1908.
 This latter payment will probably be anticipated. as it is part of the agreement that any net returns from ore above cost of development of the Cananea Central will divert to the orig inaI owners. to apply on the purchase price, and the Greene Co. will need all it's net profits to continue the payment of { per cent quarterly upon 2.550-0 outstanding Greene-cananea shares.
