A Settlement Effected.

lO lcdTn lndt OuTinR lnc present. Wcek there has been effected a composition of the differences between the various claimants to the great copper proper ties in the Cananea mountains Of So- nora, under the terms of which a fruitful source Of interminable litIga- tion is eradlcated, and a chance is now given for development there of one of the greatest industrial centers in Mexico, giving permanent and lu- cFatiye employment to skilled and common labor, heavy returns upon capital invested, and enriching the surrounding region and the state.
 On Thursday Messrs, ". c. Green of Blsbee, Arizona, J. B. Storman Of Magdalena, Sonora, and Mir. W. s. Cranz of Nogales. Arizona, represent ing individually and collectively all the conflicting interests involved in those great properties, held confer ence at Nogales, in which, acting un- der the legal advice of MT. W. F. liar low, the previously existing differ ences were all harmonized and ar engagements were effected by which the properties are to be exploited on a scale which will speedily place them where they belong in the front rank Lf dividend paying properties In Mex icJ.
 The properties involved not only in- cludc the rich copper mines recently operated by the Cananea Copper Cp., and those formerly operated by the Sonora Copper Co.,. but also embrace the Cobrc Grande' and adjacent mines formerly operated by General Pesqueira. The Cobre Grandc alone is we'll worth q visit, and commands particular interest from the evidences presented of having been formerly worked on most extensive scale The ruined smelterS, offices. resi- dences aBd dwellings all go to show that there existed scene of busy ac- tiyity, now long desolate. which was town of no mean dimensions. while the cemetery near at hand tells as plainly as though written that the camp was of long and prosperous ex- istence. The ruined forts show, also, that every provision was made for mil itary protection of the people against the maurading Apache. To the practiced eye the slag dumps, embrac- ing thousands of tons, and the vast quarries whence tine ore was taken, tell story of the one time output which, could 1t be reduced to words of description, would read like fairy tale. Now the magic wand of com promise has b,,l waved over the Cananeas, and like the palace of Alad- din, the vanished camp will reappear
 The properties embraced in the new deal include about one hundred perte- nencias, of which fourteen were claim ed by the Cananea Copper Co.
 The region has .ong been famous for its vast deposits of copper ores bearing precious metals, and capital. ists and investors have looked for years in that direction with longing eyes. But the incubus of conflicting titles and fear of protracted and ex- pensiye litigation hung over all. Be- coming involved in the difficulties in- from such a condition two successive claimants had encounter ed violent deaths, and there was the stigma of blood stain upon thc titles. 1t was indeed q hoo Zoo, v and the end seemed until now iJil far in the distance. By the arrangement perfected by Messrs. Storman, Greene
