Surpliced priests with barred heads,
hundreds of childish mourners on
foot, and scores and scores of car
riages made part of the mile long
procession which escorted the body Of
Father Flohr to his last resting place
this morning.
The immense number attending the
funeral was testimony to the strength
of the devotion to the beloved pastor
who labored we'll for nearly a quar-
ter Of a century as we'll as to the
power of that mighty organization Of
which he was part.
The procession was led by the Four
teenth cavalry band which played a
funeral march, then came the altar
boys of ST. Patrick's church, the girls
of st. Vincent's academy, the young
ladies Sodality, followed by the boys
of La Sale school. These were fol-
lowed by the full membership Of the
Ladies' Altar society and Ladies Aux
iliary A. o. H.
Mems Societies.
Four mems societies of the Catholic
church next came on foot, the Cath
olic Knights of America, Young Mems
Institute, knights Of Columbus and
Ancient Order of Hibernians.
After the bishops in carriages came
the hearse fianked by double guard
of honor. then the attending priests
in carriages and then the long pro-
cession of carriages filled with pa
risnioners of the dead priest.
The first of the funeral exercises
this morning began at 9 o'clock when
Rev. Herman Loeffler, celebrant, held
a requiem mass for 600 Catholic chill
dren of the parish. The center Of tine
church was filled with the children
and the rest by older mourners.
AS soon as the children were
marched out in orderly procession at
the end Of the service the church be-

Only the fact that the storm gave
half an hours warning, permitting the
sailors to prepare for it, prevented a
much greater damage.
Most of the fatalities so far reported
are among the native Cubans although
about a score of foreigners were killed
some being Americans. Many build

quake.
Some of the poorer sections in the

The cyclone was 80 miles wide. Only

RIsBEE DISTRICT.

In Bisbee Monday, through Justice Owen E. Murphy, acting as agent for Samuel Miller, eight claims located in MontezumR Canyon, in the Huachuca mountains, owned by Charles Gerdis, George Foot, William Mcdaniel and Zach Parker were transferred to Mil ler.- The consideration is not named and could not be had from either of the parties to the deal
 Miller already owns much mining property in the Warren mining district some of it being within the city limits on School Hill. Just what importance attaches to the deal is not known at this time, but it is thought that Miller is acting for others who do not care to be known in the transaction as yet.
 The property transferred has been owned by Gerdis. Mcdaniel. Foot and Parker for some time, they having done some work on the claims. Development of the property has not been pushed to any great length, the principal work now done on the property being as sessment holes.
 While it is not known just what will be done with the property by the new owner or owners it is thought that the purchase is but d fOrerunner of the en- trance of new capital and life into that section of the Huachucas. Since the Amalgamated representatives made the purchase of the Mitchell and Fowler property in Ramsey Canyon, the yves of mining men who have heretofore been blind to the possibilities in the Huachucas have been turned on that range with a view R1 picking up all good rospects.-Douglas International

GLOBE DISTRICT NOTES.

The Inspiration Mining company is getting in four loads of lumber and machinery per day, on an average.
 Ore shipments to the smelter are be- ing delayed on account of the heaviness of the roads. In some places consider able work will have to be done before anything like the usual loads can be hauled.
 M. J. Galpin, superintendent of the lion Cap mine, returned last night from a business trip to Los Angeles. The shaft on the property is going down steadily and the indications are good for encOuntering ore.
 The AriZona-COlorado Copper Belt and Gold Mining and Milling company received a carload of machinery last Saturday. which came through from New York in record time, having been shipped July 19. The shipment con- sists of an air compressor, Sullivan power drills and a diamond core pros pectinS drill. This machinery has been hauled out to the mine and will be in stalled by $. C. Phillips. who came here some time ago especially for that purpose from Indianapolis, Ind.-Sil- yer Belt.

IN PARADISE DISTRICT.

The record was in error last week in stating that the Duncan strike was on the Mayfiower claim. It occurred on the Santa Fe. The lead has not yet been encountered on the May flower. After driving the tunnel about
 400 feet. cTosscUt was then started
 therefrom. about 15 feet from the
 breast, about the middle of May It is
 believed that the lead will be encoun-
 tered in about 16 feet more. The
 ground is sOftening up and now looks
 very good.
 At the Oklahoma. owned by GaIlen
 & Warnekros of Tombstone. after driv- ing a tunnel about 50 feet and encoun-
 tering considerable copper sulphides a
 winze was sunk down on the ore for 15 feet. Here water has been struck in sufficient quantities to impede far | ther sinking. Decision as to the next step has not yet been made. Near by, to the northeast. and about l5 feet be- low the level of the tunnel there is a spring which never goes dry. As the water of this spring is strongly inn i pregnated with copper. it is believed 1 that the spring has it's source in the mine. The management is therefore | considering the driving Of another tun- | mel on a level with the spring. in the i belief that such a tunnel would drain ! itself of water and thus admit of a l continuance of operations along the water level More or less ore has been i taken down on this property for sev- 1 eral months. and the future prospects 1 here are very good.
 l On the May property some finer ! looking ore than ever is being taken
 out. One sample. experts say, will TUT | 800 ounces in silver. and it is confident Il ly expected that more ore as good as II the sample will soon be sacked.

Arizona Mines

Of all the districts in the mining fields of Arizona there is none which shows the activity as does the Globe district in Gila county. The attention of the entire mining world has been drawn to the district by the operations of T. J. Cole. This mining activity has caused the city of Globe to advance with remarkable strides and it is today destined to be one of the big mining camps of the world.
 The production of the old Dominion mine for July was slightly in excess of 3,OOO,OOO pounds of blister copper, which while not as large as in some previous months. represents. a larger percentage produced from the com pany's own mines. Only three fur naces were in blast during a large part of the month. Four furnaces are now running. Progress of shaft sinking and development work has been very satisfactory. and the production of ore has materially increased. An import ant work has been restoring the 14th level and the development of the sul- phide vein on that level has been re- sumed. The improved condition of the mine is reflected in the price of old Dominion stock on the Boston ex- change. which has advanced to A.
 The Arizona Commercial Copper company is prosecuting development work on the Copper Hill and Black Hawk mines with the usual forces. and with very satisfactory results. The several levels of the Copper Hill are looking exceedingly well, and especially the east drift on the Sd level which is in a fine body of carbonate ore. The work of opening the seventh and eighth levels has begHn. The develop ment of the east drift on the 500 foot level of the Black Hawk mine for the past two weeks has been very inter esting and the improvement steady, and Pat Rose. mine superintendent, in forms us that today this drift looks better than at any time since it was started, showing d seam of high grade carbonate and glance ore a fCot wide and with other ore of a fair grade in the face. Samples of carbonate and glance ore brought to this office during the past week will assay 25 to 30 per cent copper It is the intention of the management to start a crosscut from the end of this drift within a few days, which is expected to show the ore body up much larger Grading for the Ari- Zona Commercial railroad is progress ing, and about two miles, of grade has been completed.

YAVAYAI COUNTY.

Good reports continue to pour in from the properties of the Lincoln Mining company, in the Bradshaw mountains. The 15 stamp mill is run ming on high grade ore from the mine, and regular shipments of concentrates are being made to the plant of the Ari- zona Smelling company at Humboldt. The values in the ores appear to be improving with depth, the ore being mined from the lower workings being of much higher grade than that taken from the higher levels.
 Realizing this, Charles J. George, president and general manager of the concern, recently purchased few days ago in Los Angeles two more gasoline hoisting engines, which will be shipped to the camp, and installed immediately after delivery. He also purchased at the same time an air compressor and power drills. with a view of pushing the development work on the property as rapidly and as economically as pos sible.
