FL TIGRE
Great Gold Mines for Which Seven
 Millions Have Been Offered.

The Fl Tigre Mine, owned by the
 Lucky Tigre Mining Company. of
 Kansas Oity and of which MT. O. w.
 Mitchell, of Los Angeles, $ consulting 9 engineer, is one of the most remark able properties ever developed in the southern Republic. It is situated near Yzabal, on the Nacozari branch of the Fl Paso x Southwestern railroad in Sonora and was purchased by the pre- sent company for $65C. 900 six years ago, says the Los Angeles Mining Re- view.
 Since that time every dollar that has been expended in development has come from the ground, 5000 feet of underground workings have been driven and the mine is credited with an output of $2.5OO,OOO. At the present time it ia producing from $90. 900 to $10O. .OO0 a month. without taxing it's capacity in the slightest degree, and, of that amount. about 60 per cent. is profit.
 The ore is sulphide of silver carry. ing high gold values, the clean ship ping ore running about $500 to the ton. the ncentrating ore about $25 and concentrating fifteen into one. Three cars of clean ore shipped to the Copper Queen Consolidated shelter last moEth gave returns of $262,O9. $34S S6 and S26l6l, United States currency, per ton. The mine is de- veloped to the 1lOO- foot level and at the lowest point ore is found which runs 20 ounces in gold and 300 ounces in silver to the ton. The shoot is traced on the surface for 30CO feet and is, on an average, three and half feet wide.
 Several deals have been partially negotiated of late and reports made for the prospective purchasers show $13. 100000 actually in sight. The present company has not stopped more than fifteen per cent. of the ore bodies opened up. 1ne ulrecCors oI tHe com pany met in Douglas on Monday to consider two tentative offers-one of $6, 300. 900 and another of $7 100000, both half cash, with balance payable iG six months. An English company has just relinquished an option at $6.- 5OO;OOO but all the purchase price was demanded within ninety days and the holders of the option were unable to close their arrangements in that time. The report upon which they acted was made by MT. Frederick F. Sharpless, very prominent engineer and he confirmed the previous reports showing s13. 900 900 actually in sight

SONORA CATTLE BARRED OUT
Inspector Discovers Fever Ticks and
 Issues Sweeping Order

Issues Sweeping Order
 A rigid quarantine on cattle has been placed on cattle for importation from Sonora and shipments into this country have been stopped. The quarantine is practically effective all along the international line to Nogalcs on the west The action of the federal authorities, the result of the discovery of Texas fever among cattle which were being inspected for importation. will cause a heavy loss to cattle men on the Sonora side of the line and will also seriously affect the United States customs receipts, which are usually heavy at this time of the year.
 Hundreds of cattle from the Cana nea Cattle company's ranch in Sonora were turned back from the line and the ranch quarantined on the orders of United States Veterinary Frank Rigdon.
 Wm. H. Neel of the Four Bar ranch of the Sulphur Springs valley had purchased 5000 head of Greene cattle and the last of the cattle in this ppr- chase were to be crossed. The cattle, nearly 900: were driven up to the line below Hereford and Neel and his cow boys were there to receive them and to begin the long drive to the Four Bar ranch. The custom officers were on hand to count the stock for the custom duties. the government de- mands and Dr. Rigdoa and the Mex ican veterinary were on the ground to inspect the cattle.
 Dr. Rigdon during his inspection os the big herd discovered Texas fever ticks in the ears of some of the cattle. This discovery of the fever breeding pest put an end to the entry of the cattle into the United States and the herd was turned back from the line.
 The big Greene ranch is now under quarantine and no cattle from this ranch can be entered as long as there is any fever ticks to be found among them. It ia understood that the an imals on which the ticks were found were at once cut out and will be 
 The whole line from east of Doug las to a point near Nogales is practi- calIy under quarantine. The big Oa- chuta ranch is quarantined and the Peequeiras who own it are installin g dipping pens and are dipping their stock in the hope that they can get rid of the ticks. Other ranches near the Oachuta are under the ban and now that the Oananea ranch had teen found to have fever infected cattle on the range very few cattle from Sonora will be passed across the line.
 Tho Texas or Spanish fever is . cattle plague which originated in the hilarious regions of the south where it is mild in it's effects, but when it breaks out in other portions of the country, it is malignant. The disease is characterized by decomposition of the blood and the spleen, kidneys and liver are greatly enlarged and soften ed. The spread of the plague is from a discharge and the virus is generally killed by frost. The prevention of the spread of the disease is rigid quaran- animals.
 The quarantine will make large difference in the custom recipts along the line as a substantial portion of. the revenue deniei at tine subp orts along the Arizona border is from the entry of Mexican cattle.

TWO ARE IN JAIL.
RossvilIe Men Charged With Theft of
Wine.

A complaint was issued in the court
of Topeka today, charging William
Butler, David McRoberts, John Doe
and Richard Doe, with burglary. Will
liam Butler and David McRoberts are
IN Jail. John Doe and his cousin,
Richard Roe, both noted criminals,
are still at large.
The complaint in this case was
sworn to by John Wilkerson, sheriff.
The defendants are charged with
stealing at least $25 worth-50 gall
lons-of the wine stored by Wilkerson
at Rossville. When the sheriff raided
the Matayak farm, five miles north of
Rossville two weeks ago, and captured
900 gallons of the vinous beverage in
bulk. he transported it to Rossville,
and stored it in a building which he
rented for the purpose from John
Howerton. Last Sunday night gang
of the Rossville "thirsties" broke into
the store building, drank all they
could hold and carried away some
more in jugs. The sheriff is red hot
about it. He fastened to Rossville,
when the theft was reported, and ar
rested the two above named defen-
dants. He thinks about a dozen of

PROF. CLAYToN's LECTURE.
1t VIII Be Given Tonight at the
Auditorium.

The fourth number on the organ
lyceum course is a lecture by Prof
Clayton, meteoroIogist of the Blue
Hill observatory, near Boston. This
promises to be a lecture of unusual
merit, both from the point of enter
tainment and instruction. Prof. Clay
ton is an eminent scientist, being a
member of the American Academy of
Arts and Sciences, and of the Boston
Scientific society, of which he was
president for many years. His spec
ialty is the scientific study of the
atmosphere by means af balloons,
kites and clouds. His experiments in
this line have taken him all over the
world. The achievement by which he
is best known to the public is his
plotting the German balloon Pom
mern," which won the cup in the in
ternational balloon race from ST.
Louis last year. His description of
his experience on this journey, is
wonderful, in telling of the incid ents
of this long journey half way across
the continent among the clouds; and
he gives many beautiful and interest
ing lantern slide scenes taken on this
voyage. On account of the marvellous
strides taken in the last year in the
perfection of flying machines, with the
progress of which he keeps in close
touch, he will have much to say of
general interest on these lines to the
general public. The lecture comes
this evening at the auditorium and
the admission is only 25 cents
