TUCSON HOSPITAL BURNS
Loss on Structure Reaches Close to
 $6O.O0O Mark.

TUCSON, Dee. 30.-The Whitwell hospital in the northern part of the city was totally destroyed by fire this afternoon. It had only ten inmates at the time and all of them were saved though the escape of some of them was so narrow that they had to be re- moved through the windows.
 The loss is s6O,000, The building was insured for little less than nalf that amount, The fire is supposed to have originated in the roof from n spark from n chimney though this af' ternoon plumbers were at work in the garret of the building and it is thought that the fire might have started from live charcoal left by them.
 The hospital was built about two years ago by Mrs. Whitwcll, wealthy lady of New York. and it was regard ed as one of the best appointed hos pitfalls in tho southwest. II was in charge of Dr. Shattuck.

SPEAKS GLoWINGLY
 ABOUT PARKER DISTRICT
(From Thursdays Daily)

!. B. Girand, who recently made an extended inspection trip through the new copper country tributary to the Arizona and California railroad, Is enthusiastic over the future of that re. zion as a producer of the precious metals, In many of the copper camps he says the area of naturalization is larger than in other parts of the south. west, not even excepting the districts in which some of the great copper producing properties are located.
 He says there will certainly be many surprises in the mining world when the great deposits and veins tra' versing the Bill Williams Fork, liar cuyer and llarqua IIala ranges arc de veloped to depth and operated under intelligent management,
 He met several representatives of eastern mining syndicates investigat. ing partially developed copper claims and expects that some important min ing deals will be consummated in the next few weeks
 Sixty6 five men are employed in the development of the Signal mine by the Clara Consolidated Mining and Mill

 ROME, Jan. l.-The story from the south today was repetition of pre- vious recitals of devastation, suffering, starvation and horror.
 The king and queen continue their pious pilgrimage along what was once the beautiful coast of Sicily. but which today is a desolated region strewn with unscpulcnered dead. Thousands are dying in anguish amid the ruins of their homes.
 The Duke of Aosta is suceoring his countrymen at Palmi and surrounding villages
 "Thc catastrophe K indeed scourge of God Aosta said. "The time has come when 1t is no longer possible 10 think about those beneath the ruins. All hope of saving the unfortunates now after four days have elapsed since the disaster must bc abandoned. All efforts must strive toward caring for the injured and survivors.
 The government has decided to con. ccntrate it's energies on removing the injured to points where they will re- eeive attention. The uninjured sur. vivors must also be assisted from the devastated territory. Thus it is hoped the government may avert serious epi' | denies.
 What little remains of Messina and Reggie will be covered with quick lime. There are countless dead bodies mingled with the shattered masonry.
 Huge emigrant steamers are carry ing away people from the ruined dis tricts. On account of the impossibil ity for caring for the thousands of sur vivors ashore where the injured ar' taking all the effort, they will be kept aboard the ships, where thirty days rntions are provided, until later.
 Conditions are desperate in the dis trcts outside Mcssina and Reggie There is no shelter against the persist ent rains, and it IS impossible to ob tain fire and food.
 The two IIelens, Queen Helena and Duchess Aoasta, are the guardian angels ministcring to the injured, binding uI wounds with their own handkercbiefs caring for the children with pecuniar, assistance. Tne queen has given uI all her worldly possessions, even th' rings from her fingers.
 The official estimate of the dead al Reggie is 20,0oO.

Hanlon. both of London, England, arrived Monday evening in Tucson and are representing the Hud- son Consolidated Banking & Mining House of London. wnich owns mining properties all over the world. They are here especially to look over their Arizona properties near Clifton, called the Arizona London copper mines, in which they have been interested for two or three years. Prior 10 their de- parture northward, however, it is their intention to make a visit to Old Mexi- co 10 note the progress made by the new railway wnich is being construct ed from Guaymas up into the Yaqui country, in Sonora, in close proximity to the "Barranca mines, part of the Mexican property of this company. Improvements to the extent of 5000 month. for the past eighteen months, have been expended upon this proper ty in Sonora, and today it is consid. cred of great value.
 Shafts have been sunk to n depth of 500 feet on eight different levels and between s7O00 and ss000 worth of de- velopment work mas been done, hay ing been checked up by i2,O00 assays. This district was especially selected by the Guggenheims and John Hays Hammond, assisted by his engineers, as the site for the new railway, by whose advent the properties will be considerably enhanced in value.
 In speaking of the railroad, Mr.. Hanlon sad "I expect to find the railway up as far as La Dura, and it will eventually go within three miles of our property, whicn will give us at once $l,000,000. The company ex- poets to buy oher properties in the i'm mediate neighborhood and 1t Is the in tention of a number of influential men in London to acquire the best proper ties available in the district in and around "Barranca, with the object of these being taken over by n mining finance development company, which will be properly incorporated under the English laws, and be on the regu- lar market in London.
 "The "Barranca mines today are selling on the regular stock exchange and are dealt in very actively and extensively, selling at $6 and ss. With the new developments there," he con tinued, "I expect 10 see a very sub. stantial rise in tho price. There is no doubt about 1t.
 "Wc are putting up a concentrating plant, and one of the objects of my visit is to see these smelting facilities, and l shall, of course, visit all the smelters in this section of the country
 zone of the first things that l knew of Arizona was the amalgamation of certain properties of which l heard while in New York, under the title of Copper Mines Company of Arizona which was the amalgamation of all the small interests or properties interlock. ing with the Arizona Copper Company grounds, which, of course, are world famous.'
