Tombstone Men Will
 Develop Mining Group

County Auditor Charles Purdon has entered the mining field and with James Hart Of this city has taken an option for two years on the April. Herrera group of claims in the Dragoon mountains for the sum of S3o,Ooo. The option calls for work to be commenced within 60 days and ct least four men to be kept work during the life of the bond.
 The claims in question are group of six in what Is called Slsyin gulch in the DTsgoons, few miles from NJ dale Pass, on this side of the noun tains. They have been held by Frank April and others for & number of years and considerable development work has been done on them. Most of the work has been done by mesns of tunnels and yet no great depth has been obtained, but the surface indications are all that could be asked for.
 Most of the ore occurs in sulphide form and s number of bodies o! tn g class of ore has been encountered in the work that las been done on the various claims. During the past week small body of OK de or carbonate ore was uncovered in ore of the crosscuts being run on one of the claims.
 It is understood that Messrs. Purdon and Hart only secured the option for Colorado parties who are expected to arrive here soon to begin work on the property. They have already had experts make a report on tn , property and so far they have all been fsvorably impressed with the development.
 The taking hold of this property by Colorado parties would be of a very material benefit to Tom mbstone as this would be the nearest and most convenient nni.: iur the securing :! supplies and for shipping point, and besides the money when paid will be distributed among residents Of Tombstone. The papers of the escrow agreement are in the custody of the First National Bank Of Tombstone.
