s. P. May Build
 Into CourtIand

There seeme to be DO doubt but that the corps of surveyors now a. Pesrce are in the employ of the Southern Pacific and that that company is making active preparations to build into the Leadville district.
 From parties that came in from Gleason this morning 1t Is learned that surveying party sis at work running a line into that district, and the general impression there seems to be that the $. P. is endeavoring te build into Gleason. From the mouth Jf the canyon goins :nto Gleason 1t would be easy to build a branch into Courtland. the distance being only about two miles, with but very little grade.
 Another incident that lends color to this view is the fact that MT. Chas D Reppy, the right-of-way agent of the s. P. and Attorney Eugene 1vee, attorney of the same road, arrived 1 in Tombstone today, and although both gentlemen disclaim all knowl' edge of any intent on the part of thei' comnsny to build in.o Courtland rumor is persistent here that this fl the real object of their visit. MT Reppy claims to be looking after som' land deals his company is involved 1T near Bowie. while Mir. Ives says he | here in the interest of the Boquilla Land company and would return .t' Tucson tonight.

 Courtlaud, which is causing so much excitement in the mining world at present is rapidly assuming metro- politan airs and few days ago was recaled with an exhibition of boxing match that caused more excitement 1 than the location of the townsite. The principals m the affair were Jim Corbett, the chsmpion middle~eight | of Tombstone, and Kid Chan, col- ored, middle weight champion Of E. | Paso. Both weighed in at lbs pounds and from the tap of the gong until the ' fourth round things were about even 1; | IL is claimed that about this time 1t was discovered by the village josher l that the Garkey had hOrsesh hoe m his glove and Referee Chas Roberts l stopped the contest. The darkey claimed he had placed the horseshoe there just for luck The succeed l ing round was 6 hot one. Corbett put ting the dsrkey down three times, the last time proving nearly knockout, as nine seconds had been counted be
 fore Chan recovered his feet. The
 sixth round, which ended the exhibi
 ton vas uneventful, both contestants | breaking about even.
 On account of the stringent law
 against prize fights in Arizona no de- ! cision was rendered ny the referee, but
 the spectators seemed to think that Cor ett had the best of it. xxx.

for any definite time, and a workman
said one of the bridges would not
stand two years. To the first charge
Mr.. Barley made no answer; to the
second he said he is not an expert
bridge builder and to the third he re-
piled that he, too, might have to say
some uncomplmentary things about
his fellow Democratic office holders.
Hazelip took advantage of this adj
mission, and showed that Mr.. Bark
ley Is part of the administration, he
kept other candidates waiting while
he decided whether he would prefer
to represent the people as common

and that he is beholden to the same
machine that elected him before and
nominated him again and all his col
leagues, and that he would be as
powerless to do any good as county
judge as he is as county attorney,
since he admits that he knows things
are not as they should be.
They will meet at Shady Grove
school Wednesday night at 1880.
