TOMBSTONE, April 1.-Notwith-
standing the fact that the Calumet &
Arizona Mining Company determined
not to take the property of the Lead
vile Mining Company near Gleason,
they are still actively engaged at work
in that locality, and during the past
few days have signed up options on
properties in that immediate neigh
borhood. and today signed up the pa
pers taking over the properties of
William Cowan and his brother-in-law.
A. Stevenson. The bond and option
on the property calls for a period OF
two years time. and the payment Of
$4,000 divided into payments OF
stated periods Ten per cent of the
purchase price was paid in cash. ?
Besides the option on these prop
critics they still have the options that
were taken on the Brown group few
days prior to the forfeiting of the
Leadville group. This option calls
for the payment Of 100000 and covers
two years time with payment Of
$4,000 within thirty days, which pay
ment falls due the latter part of the
present month. They also today took
an option on claim belonging to ].
Shattuck. of Gleason, which adjoins
the Leadvilfe and Casey properties.
At the Casey property. which was
taken under bond by the Calumet &
Arizona Company last fall, the work
of pumping out the water IN what was
called the No. 3 shaft was completed
during the past few days, and the re-
suit of the shots that were put in be-
fore the water rushed in shows that
a large body of high grade carbonate
ore had been opened up which is much
the same class Of ore that was en-
countered in the Leadville property.
It is the intention of the company to
push the work on this ground as well
as On the Cowan-Stevenson group, so
that the company within a few weeks
win have a force of men at work
about equal to the number that were
at work prior to the closing down Of
the Leadville..
The sheriff's office here has been
notified to be on the lookout for three
cowboys who are supposed to have
been implicated in the hold-up and
robbery that occurred at Mammoth on
the lower San Pedro on Monday night.
The three men were seen hanging
about the camp for few days prior
to the hold-up and shooting OF John
Dubois, and could not be found the
morning following the robbery, &C
cording to advices received here.
About 10 o'clock Monday night Du-
bois wa standing by the stove in his
bar-room with a shovel in his hand,
and was about to clean out the ashes.
As he was there two men entered the
place One of them walked up behind
Dubois, while the other went around
behind the bar. The latter picked up
Dubois six-shooter and. told him to
throw up his hands.
Although both men were masked
and he had no idea as to who they
were, the first thought of the saloon
keeper was that 1t was joke and he
was slow In obeying them He was
quickly undeceived, however. for the
! fellow commenced shooting at him
| Dubois, with a great deal of courage
rushed behind the bar and began to
beat the man with his shovel The
latter fred three shots, all of which
went wild.
After the two had clinched, third
party entered the door and fred thret
shots at Dubois. The first shot strucl
him in the neck, narrowly escapint
the jugular vein, and the other two
entered his arm. breaking it badly.
Dubois fell to the floor and the mer
then robbed the till and made theil
escape
They got away without there being
any clue to their identity or any op
4 portunity offered for discovering ii
which direction they fed. The only
trace of their presence was the finding
of a butcher knife on the bar, which
was dropped in the fight, and which
evidently had come from some board
ing house in Mammoth.
Dubois condition is critical but no.
necessarily fatal
