MANY CLAIMS BEING FILED
 IN COCH|SE
Records At Tombstone Show That There is Much Avaiia- bIe Mineral Land in This Country

TOMBSTONE. April 3.-That there is still considerable available groua1 for mining purposes in Cochise co1n- ty, that looks inviting to the miner and prosrector is evident from the
 many claims of mining 'oca- ten that ars filed in the County Recorders once. Since the first of January nearly eight hundred
 mining locations nave been filed for record and during the past month there were 427 alone. The major ty of these locations came from the Tur- cuoise district. which includes the

Report of President Powell Speaks of New Homes, San itary Conditions and Gener- al Advantages

The annual report of Col. l.. w. Powell. president of the Warren Townsite company Is of 30 much in terest to the people of the Warren district, that it is reproduced in full. It is a brief summary of the condi- tions of the properties owned by the Warren d1mpany. The report fol- lows:
 The townsite of Warren made very satisfactory progress during the year 1908
 Sixty new homes were constructed during the year. included in which was res dence for the general manager of the Pheips-Dodge interests. anu 6 residence for the general manager Of the Calumet & Arizona and super for & Pittsburg interests. both of these are commodious, modern homes; the residecne built for the general manager of the Phelps-Dodge inter ests being one of the handsomest homes in the Southwest. During December the erection of a general office building for the Cal umet & Arizona Mining Company and Superior & Pittsburg Copped Com pany was begun The structure will be a substantial and modern one in every particular. It is expected to have it completed by the first of May. and all of our interests will be housed there.
 | The city Of Warren is a model town in every particular. Sanitary condi. tions are perfect. Every house has sewer and water connections and cleo tric lights.
 The styles of architecture are in almost every instance good. and it is doubtful if there is a town of it's size in the country where greater per i centage of pleasing structures exist. The slight improvement which We have already had in business condi- tions, has shown its effect in War ren and the start which it has ob- tained for the year 1909 would in- dicste that its growth for the coming year will be greater than either of the two previous years Of its exist ence.

 Warren-B sbee Railway
 During the year 1908. our electric system was completed from Warren to Bisbee and the mines and an ex- tension was built to the Warren Dis tTict Country Club, a distance of about Jhree-quarters of mile south of Warren. This electric line was thrown open to the public on March 11th, and the arrival of the first car into Bis bee WAS the occasion of one of the greatest demonstrations ever held in the camp.
 From the opening of the line to the end of the year. over one mi lion pas sengers were carr.ed and the Das- mess of the line has shown a very steady increase each month It is contended to continue the con struction of the line a considerable distance up Tombstone Canyon in
 Bisbee. as soon as the subway. which the city of Bisbee is now construct ing, Is completed.

shaft and running drifts and cross cuts on the various levels. This prop erty, while down only a few hundred feet, has produced some as high grade silver ore as has ever been un- coysred in the Tombstone district.
 The company intends to do the Largest portion of it's work in the near future in the country west and north of the present pump shaft and what has already been opened up will only prove an incentive to further active work in that direction. It is known that the report of the two experts who are in the employ of John Hays Hammond. who were in the city recently and spent some time in making a thor cugh examination of the various for mat ons of the district and the under ground workings of the company gave 1t out that the formation indicated the ore to be in the direction that the company is now working in and that ever indication went to show that large bodies would be found in the fornlsticn to be found in that locality. During the past month the Consoli- dated company has made arrange ments with the Pueblo Smelling and | Ref n 'ng compony to handle gach lead ores of the district that carry large ! percentage of zinc as cannot be sue cessfully treated in the concentrating { plant bere. Heretofore this class or ore has not been given much atten- ton. but the company will now be able to ship considerable of this class Of ore and receive good returns from the same.
 As has been said by Ar. Murphy the ! fight has been a long and hard one and that the company is now bound | to make a success will prove good news to the thousands of citizens Of Arizona and elsewhere that have been i watching the fight of uuwatering the i Tombstone district and it was only 1 the abiding faith of Messrs. Gage. i Staunton and Murphy that the cnterN prise was not abandoned some years
 ago. To them should be given grear credit
 In regard to conditions in the northern part of the terriiorv Mir
 Murphy stated that there had been q material increase in activ ty and that be looked fer a very prosperous year
 throughout the territory. He s7id:
 The opening up again of the Hum
 Doldt smelteT by parties who had un- limited backing was the principal
 mining note of mention. It meant
 that the company intended to dn con
 siderable work and that it would offer
 a market to a number of other prop
 critics iR that vicinity and in other counties" He was of the impress on
 that the country in the vicinity of Salone and Parker which is st'H un- developed was certain to prove one of the richest sections of the terri tory and that the next few years
 would see vast amount of machin- cry and mining appliances installed In that locality and many good paying properties of gold, silver anU copper opened up."
 1 Messrs. Gage and Staunton accom- panied the party from here and will spend several days at SilyerbeH
 and then on to Congress and Poland to visit the ether properties of the company in Arizona

MINES AT SILVER BELL ARE
 ID BE VIGOROUSLY WORKED
The Present Outlook is More Encouraging the Tombstone District Than At Any Time Since Work Was Started By the Consolidated Mines Company, According
 Frank Murphy Who Is In the Field

TOMBSTONE. April 3.---Frank Mur phy and P. B. Cheney. of the Devel. opment Company of America, and large stockholders of the Tombstone Consol dated Mines company left last evening for Silver Bell where they go to inspect the property of the Imperial Copper company in which they are both heavily interested. The gentle men spent several days here in the inspection of the various workings of the Consolidated company and with Messrs Gage and Staunton had a mum Der of conferences over the further development of the camp.
 Mir. Murphy before leaving was asked what he though of the present outlook of the Tombstone District. He replied: The outlook at the present time is more encouraging than at any life since we began the work of un- watering the Tombstone mines and the uncovering of the new ore bodies in number of the properties is giv- ing us the utmost faith and encour- agement. The fight has been long hard, and expensive one, but deyel- Opments made in the past six weeks nave begun to show us that our con- tention that the ore bodies had not been worked out in the Tombstone district has not been wrong"
 MT. Murphy stated that he believed that from now on the company would be in better shape to open up the prop critics and add considerable numbers to the employees and be able to add very materially to the shipments of ore to the smelters besides increasing the capacity of the concentrator at the old mill.
 Mir. Murphy's faith and his opinion of the outlook of the camp is based upon the uncovering of the large body of high grade ore that has been uncovered on the 700 foot level of the big pump shaft which was opened ul a few weeks since and although con siderable ere has already been taken out, yet the extent of the ore body is still undetermined. The ore carries high values in gold, silver and lead Another fact is the splendid showing that is beipg made in the Silver Thread. This property is at present furnishing the ore that is being con
 centrated at the mill and during ths rast few weeks virgin ground hai been opened up that is exposing ; number of good sized ore bod'es tha are averaging very high in lead ana silver.
 Tn the North West shaft in whicl work was recently started there has already been opened up 9 number oi new ore bodies and several cars have already been shipped from the prop erty to the smelters at El Paso. The company intends to further develop this section of the district by run ming q 750 foot drift from the West Side property to the North West and during the past week the former prop erty has been started up and mum hs~ of men been put to work Re sides -unnirg the drift to connect the ,i properties considerable other de ye ,opment work will be done in the West Side.
 Work was also started during the
 past week on the Tribute shaft and cons 'derable work will be done on the property in the way of sinking the

SlCILIAN PASSENGERS
ON STEAMER LEARN FOR
FIRST TIME OF QUAKE

NEW YORK, Jan. -Four hundred
Sicilian steerage passengers on the
steamer Germania, which arrived today
from Naples, were stricken with grief
when they learned of the disaster in
Messina for the first time. A reporter
told them through an interpreter the
news when the vessel reached the dock.
At first they were inclined to be in
credulous and seemed not to realize
that any of them were concerned until
one of the passengers from Messina
asked whether the earthquake had
damaged that city.
''Messina is wiped OUT was the re-
ply.
My whole family is there!" shrieked
the passenger. my poor wife and
children; they are all dead"
The Sicilian threw himself on the
deck, and though his fellow passengers
crowded around and endeavored to
comfort him he continued to wall.
Others thronged about the interpreter
and questioned him frantically about
the disaster and at each new detail
those coming from the earthquake re-
gion wept and wrung their hands or
ran Shrieking about the decks. So dis
tressing did the scene become that the
captain ordered the interpreter to dis
continue his tale until the Sicilians had
left the ship.

BEAR VALLEY WATER
TRANSFER COMPLETE
Consolidation of Interests of Numer-
Gus Centers Effected-AuxiIiary
Storage Dam to Be Erected
in Near Future
Especial to The Herald

SAN BERNARDINO. Jan. 7.-What
is practically the final step in the
transfer of the Bear Valley water
system tosthe Bear Valley Mutual Wa
ter company was accomplished to-
day, when the deeds for the entire sys-
tenn were passed from A. G. Hubbard
to the new company, Mr.. Hubbard act
ing for the Savings and Trust company
of Cleveland, Ohio. All that remains
to be done now is the exchange of
stock certificates of private companies
under the Bear valley system for
stock in the new company. This will
take but short time, being merely
a formal matter, as all the small COM
panies have voted favorably on the
plan.
This transaction means the CONSOLE
dation Of the water interests of the
ranchers of Redlands, Grafton, Men
tone, all the Highlands, North San
Bernardino, Bryn Mawr, Mound City
and Mission. 1t also means much for
the future of the agricultural interests
of the valley.
One of the first moves of the new
company will be the erection of an
auxiliary storage dam at Filaree Flats
to impound storm water that may ac-
cumulate below the present dam.
