MILES GIBBONS
Arizona Republican Newspaper
June 5, 1904

Miles Gibbons, a miner well known in Arizona and particularly 
in the southern part, together with his partner Robert Elwyn 
were killed by a blast in a mine at Cananea a few days ago.  
The friends of Mr. Gibbons sent Captain Hannan to Cananea 
after the body with instructions to bring it back to Bisbee 
for burial which was done.  Just how it was done has not 
been made public and probably never will be, for it was a 
strategic move of some kind.  The Mexican laws prohibit 
the removal of a dead body from the republic for some years 
after the death has occurred.  But in this instance 
prohibition did not prohibit.
