1t was learned today that engineers

done on it, so that they may make a
report on its present and prospective
value.
1t became known some weeks age
that the controlling owners of the Ii
gre. who reside in Kansas City, were
negotiating for the sale of the proper.
ty TO New York parties, but the iden
tity of the probable purchasers has
not been disclosed. Reports have
gained currency that the fixed price
is $7500,000 and that the transfer OF
the mine would be made provided the
engineers to be sent from New York
found conditions as represented. :
I'll Tigre mine, which is located
about seventy-fiye miles south OF
Douglas, has become one of the best
known gold properties in the state Of
Sonora, both on account of the great
bodies of ore uncovered and because
of the long and stubborn litigation
which followed the attempt OF B. F
Graham, the original promoter of the
owning company, to repossess himself
of the property because OF an alleged
failure of the purchasers to make
payments on the purchase of the mine
as stipulated in the sale agreement
This litigation lasted for nearly two
years AMI while from the very begin

Recently and since the reported ne

there was good buying in all the active

.LAMPH[RE IS ARRA|GN[D
RETURNS SEVEN TRUE BILLS.
MRS. GUINNESS ALSO INDICTED
In Order to Connect the Prisoner with the Killing of Heleeiein It Was Necessary to Indict the
 Woman.

Laporte Ind, May 23.-In returning seven true bills against Ray Lamphere Friday afternoon, the Laporte county grand jury also indicted Mrs. Belle Gunness for the murder of Andrew Helgelein of Mansfield, s. D. No war rant was issued for Mrs. Guinness, as she was declared officially dead by the verdict of Coroner Mack, but in order to vote true bill against Lamphere as an accessory in the killing of Hel- gelen, 1t was necessary to indict Mrs. Guinness as the principal. Lamphere now stands before the bar of justice officially charged with arson, five murders and being an accessory in the Helgelein murder.
 In the indictment for arson 1t Is charged that Lamphere set fire to certain dwelling house of the value Of 5000 of the property of one Belle Gunness, whereby said dwelling was burned and entirely consumed, to the damage of said Belle Guinness in the sum of s2000.
 The digging Friday resulted in the unearthing of a human skull which, Il is believed, belongs to one of the bodies dug up in the chicken yard two weeks ago At that time three skele- tons were found in one hole, but there were only two skulls. The skull found Friday was in a cesspool, and why IL was dropped there and the rest of the body buried in the little cemetery the authorities can not explain. Long hair attached to the skull is considered eyi- dence that 1t is that of a woman. One of the three dismembered bodies re- ferred to was that of a female.
