day with the body of his nephew by marriage, w. M. Conn, who was killed in the mine last Tuesday. He had formerly been employed at McCabe. The body will be taken to Prescott this morning and will then probably be sent to the home of his relatives for burial. Conn was promising young man of twenty-four and had been married a year and half.
 He had been at work at the Fl Tigre only two days when the fatal accident occurred. He had been working about the elevator, across the front of which was rapidly revolving shaft. There was a collar on the shaft with a set screw. As Conn leaned across the shalt to oil some part of the machin- cry the head of the screw caught in his clothing and he was twisted to death about the shaft.
 The manner in which the body was brought out of the interior of Mexico is mentioned here for the benefit os others who may sometimes have the same sad duty to perform. Its per formance is sometimes impossible. Immediately after the death of Conn, | Mir. Hall began preparations to bring the body out for the first twenty-four miles on a stretcher. The judge of that district which is about 125 miles | from the line, was very courteous and obiiging. as all the officials there were. but delay was expected further on. Mir Hall was provided by the judge with a health certificate and he pro- ceeded to the next district. a few miles distant. There delays begun which, if Mir Hall had permitted to continue would have kept him in the country with the body for a month.
 The judge examined the certificate and said it was improperly made out; | he consulted what he called the stat utes, but which Mir Hall surmised to | be a copy of Jaynes' almanac of the middle of last century. It was. how eyer, a book of statutes of 1861, but the latest the judge had. The cer- | tificate was, according to the law of | that time, far from regular. MT. Hall asked him how much money it would take to cure the defect.' The judge. referring to the statutes, replied that l it would take s100 This was not graft. for MT. Hall said he believed the judge l to be honest. He inquired though if he could gosback to the first judge and
 have the certificate corrected. He was | allowed to do so, and MT. Hall left | with the body, but not to go back to I the first district. Instead he sought | the railway by unfrequented roads, and arriving there had little trouble
 until he approached the border. He
 was now among higher officials and he found that they could set the old
 time laws aside. At some distance the
 body was held and General Manager
 Graham, of the mines, sent down and had it embalmed. It was then easily
 transferred on permit from the gov
 ernor, setting aside all ancient laws
 and regulations.
 The advice of Mir Hall in cases o1
 this kind is that in the first place, an
 absolutely correct certificate be ob- T tained; that the magistrates of the in- T terior should be given as wide berth
 as possible; enc should, as soon as he can put himself in touch with higher officials and he will then receive con
 siderate treatment, as would be ac-
 corded him in this country.
 The Fl Tigre mine by the way, is | the great property in dispute between
 the Fl Tigre company and the Ensen-
 ada company, the latter being in pos
 session pending the determination oi the contest in the courts.
 1 Speaking of the Yaqui troubles, MT
 Hall said that though the region ir
 which he lives lies between two hot
 beds of Yayui disturbances, there is nothing going on now. It was not faI
