S. P. May Build Into Courtland There seems to be no doubt but that the corps of surveyors now at Perce 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 it is learned Unit a surveying parly fcis ai wont 1 running a l'ne into that district, and the general impression there seems to be that the S. P.

is endeavoring to build into Gleason. From the mouth of the canyon goig into GleasoD it would teay to build a branch into Courtland, the distance being only about two miles, with but very little grade. Another incident that lends color to thisv'ew is the fact that Mr. Chas.l Reppy, the right-of-way agent 01 the S. P.

and Attorney Eugene 5 Ivee, attorney ol tlie same roaa, arriveu in Tombstone today, and although both gen'lemen disclaim all knowledge of any intent on the part of their coronany to build idiO Courtland, rumor is persistent here that this is the real object of their visit. Mr Reppy claims to be looking after some land deal his company is involved in near Bowie. while Mr. Ives ss-ys he is here in the interest of the Boquilla-Land company and would return Jtn Tucson tonight.

The railroad otlicials, when asked about the matter, stated that the surveyor were not connected with the railroad company, but were a party of geological surveyors of the goverment sent out for the purpose of making a survey of theGleason-t'ourtland district to determine the mineral bearing zone and endeavor to establish for the land office some of the contests that have already leen filed between the mineral entries and those filed by people who have taken up Dome-steads. Parties who were in Fcarce and saw the equipment state that from what they saw of the outfit that there is no doubt but what it is a party of S. P. engineers, and that they are fully prepared to se the grxde stakes for a railroad from Pearce on toward Gleason and Courtland. A part of the crew was in Glea'on yesterday inspecting a number of ways about the camp but were engaged in the actual work of running lines J-They refused to state the object of their vi-it 10 that section.

Mr Reppy has many old-time friends in Tombstone vbo are glad to meet him. New Version of the Star Spangled Banner SevcfYly-eight years of age and an old-timer in the Tombstone district, Mr.

From the senate and congress the people demand Xo more shall the strong drink receive their protection; Xo more shall the rum dealer dictate our law.

Xor Congress be guided by brewers' dictation. The saloon It must go; in homes no more woe From the curse of strong drink that has long been the foe; And the Star Spangled Banner in glory shall wave. O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. When our land is once free from the curre of the stil, Peace and plenty shall reign over all this blessed nation; AH praise our God for the victory given And for thou-ands redeemed from the strong drink temptation. All strong drink must go and with it the woe, And our hearts now rejoice at the fall of the foe; A.nd the star Spangled Ilsnner in glory -hall wave.

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. W. SINCLAIR. There is scarcely any limit to the tostble lmDrovtmcnt In srrds. bat it takes time and money.
