w. c. Greene, president ofthe Greene
Consolidated Copper Mining company of
La !Cananea, Mexico, arrived in the city
yesterday morning on flying visit to
meet President Hays OF the Southern
pacific, but reached here one day too
late and continued his journey to New
York last evening. says the San Francis
co Chronicle. The object of his trip was
to have President Hays interested in
building a line of the company. Greene
says that the mines of the company are
being rapidly developed and the Union
Iron works has just completed large
plant for the reduction of the ore. The
developments so far made have shown
that the mines at La Cananea will soon
become classed among the largest pro.
ducers in the world. At present the
mines are held back by want of proper
transportation facilities, but this is ex-
pected to be remedied as soon as a con-
ference can be had with President Hays.

mines were owned by Costello alonel
