OF Chopin's and Beethoyen's funeral

Past these, and through the line of Brit
ish battleships, the naval funeral process

them was the royal yacht Alberta. Half
screened by the awning on the poop, the
royal coffin lay on crimson dais, the cur
tains Of which were drawn back and tied
to four poles, leaving free to view the
magnificent casket and robes. Sometimes
abeam, sometimes ahead, was the Trinity
House yacht Irene watching the course.

loyal yacht Victoria and Albert, with King
Edward and Queen Alexandra and the
English royal family the royal yacht Os-
borne, with other royal personages, the
imperial yacht Hohenzollern with En-
peror William, the duke and the duchess

Gossip of the RaH Extension in Arizona.
 PHOENIX, Ariz. Nov. B The visit of President Ripley of the Santa Fs and party, piloted through Arizona by F. M. Furphy, president ot tue late Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix Rail- way company, has lifted much of the uncertainty conce rniag railway con- struction in tue southwest Ramors of railroad building have been plentiful during the past few months, but al. thoagh Arizona will probably do more road building than any other State or Territory in the United States dur ing the next twelve months, many of the projects advertised are utterly with outfuundation
 The Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix railroad has passed into the control of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe system, by sale of the majority of stock. F. M Murphy, president, re- toA1o a oAObA Ol obOCk Gu0 udS Ol uO means lost his interest in the line be- tween Ash Fork and Phoonix, which has been the most important factor in opening vast mineral and agricultural resources The road was a money maker from the start, and it's vigorous policy prior 10 the sale contemplated the extension of number of spurs and branch lines into regions rich in nat ural resources, but undeveloped. It's first experiment. in that connection was the building of the Prescott aud East ern, a road running from the main line toward the Bradshaw mountains and opening up the Big Bug district. The Big Bug country was undeveloped two years ago, but since the advent of the railroad has been brought to the front prominently with mines destined to be- come enormous producers The new owners, according to Mir Murphy, will not change the policies of the road, but will carry out the scheme of gridiron- ing central and northern Arizona with steel rails.
 Frank Murphy and his packers, among whom IS D. Nj Ferry, of De troit, retire from the active manage. uent of the Santa Fe, Prescott aut I Phoenix railroad only to assume nor, lively duties. They have outlined then plans for the construction of new railroad from Phoenix to Benson which is o1 tne main line of the South ern Pacific w. A.

As to the Indians.
From the Globe Silver Belt.

From the Globe Silver Belt.
 In our opinion, the objection to the employmentof Indians by the Colum- oia Copper company to build road to their mine is not based on very good grounds Indians, so used, do not come into competition with white labor, for the reason that there are no white men in this community who would accept such work at a price usually considered reasonable and fair. Road building does not require skilled labor, and it would be unwarranted exaction to re- quire company to pay miners wages for such work Besides, the building of this road, or of any other road, to facilitate mine development, benefits, directly or indirectly, every person in the community who has nuy interest in the prosperity of the district, whether he be property owner, business man or wage earner, for the very evident reason that it better enables the com pany building the road, as well us others owning adjacent mining claims, to develop their property aud employ more high-priced labor.
 The Columbia Copper company has ample capital, and their intention is tc develop their mice as rapidly as possi- ble, equip it with the necessary ma | chinery, and to build reduction works all of which means that if treated fa:rly 1 in this community, this mining com pany will be n a position within few months to give employment to forty o fifty miners and mechanics, and whef their plant is completed, to many more We believe that this is tue common sense view to take of this question, an, if there is any one who wants to built roads that will promote mine develop mentin the district, let us by all mean encourage them in the laudable enter prise
 As to the question of allowing Tn. dians to leave and remain off the reser vation for long periods, we are op posed to it, and fully realize that tn pass system at San Carlos has beei greatly abused If the governmen would make the Indians self support ing it should first give them lands severalty and open the immens, reservations in Arizona to settlemeu, that their great natural resources ma, be developed by white citizens.

 Mir. " H. Code, chief engineer of the Consolidated Canal Company, left Monday for Washington, where he has been called by the Secretary of the In terior who wishes to consult with Mfr. Code on the subject of the irrigation of Indian reservations He expects to be absent several weeks.
 In Bulletin s6, by the Department of Agriculture, Mr Code had an able article on the "Use of Water in Irriga- tion in Arizona " l. was in the ma lure of a report on the irrigation system iu Ar'zona, and was profusely illus trated with maps and views of she canals of the great Salt River valley The writer showed a thorough know ledge of the subject, gained from practi- cal experience and a close study of the workings of the system and the results obtained. This report was by long odds the most clear and compre- hensive paper sent to Washington on the subject of irrigation, and gave the writer well-earned reputation as an authority on the arid lAno problem in Arizona.
 The Secretary of the Interior could not have called to his assistance one better able to give wise counsel on the irrigation of Indian reservations than Mir. Code, and we will be disappointed if he is not asked to to take charge of whatever improvements in this line are contemplated by the department
