 QUICK SPENDER
SPENT SIXTEEN THOUSAND DOL
 LARS DURING PAST MONTH.
Complaint From Cananea that Post Or
 fee Service is inadequate to De-
mands of Thriving Copper Camp.
(Special Correspondence. )

Especial Cores spondenceD Cananea. Mex. Feb. Every crowd ed conditions prevail at the Cananea post office. As much mail is handled in this post office as in Bisbee and yet there is not half as many persons TO handle it as there are handling Bisbee mail The Caranea post office is certainly one example of Overwork in Mexico and it is high time the gov ernment was coming to its relief. No body can find fault with the compe- tency of the employees of the Cananea post office. but that is no reason that those employees should be kept if teen and sixteen hours daily in close confinement.
 James Butler, the Phoenix railroad contractor has gone to Naeo and Co chise. MT. Butler has secured con tract for a great deal of work at the Campo Santo Mine in Sonora and just as soon as the Cochise-Pearce road is completed. he will move all his outfit to the Yaqui river camp.
 Mr. Metcalf. of the Cananea Lumber company reports an increasing demand tor lumber in this camp. During the next six months the building business will be good. judging from the number of contracts now being drawn up.
 According 10 James H. Kirk, super intendent of the Cananea mines, the Puertecitos group will not employ any more men than at present uEl-. March At that time the forces "-l be doubled at Puertecitos.
 About 175 men are now emp-oyed at the Elise. which is under the charge of Walter Banks. The highest grade copper ore in Mexico is being produc- ed from this mine.
 Mayor Hargrove is again at Picache. The Majors time is just about com pletely taken up by his interests in the new gold fields of Sonora.
 There is great activity in the vicinl- ty of Picache due to the discoveries of gold there. Many Americans are on the ground and more are going to the peaks every day. An influx or miners is expected.
 Some shipments of ore are now De ing gotten ready which will surprise people in the United States. These shipments will be made to Fl Paso Altogether the prospects point to rush to Picache during the present year.
 Among the arrivals are that of hlGSSTS POLLOCK anu hOON1 IiO1A DNNS las. MT. Pollock has just brought mining deal to conclusion. He has commenced operations upon his prop erty at DcG> Gs
 There is one man in Cananea who can rightfully boast that he is a good snender. This is San Simon Jack. At the end of last December, San Si- mon Jack sold a mine for s16,OOO. He
 he has gone through this fortune and is looking for another mine to sell. IL took San Simon Jack many years to put his last mine in shape for sale, but it did not take him as many weeks to rid himself of the proceeds Of the sale. With s16O00 San Simon Jack certainly showed the boys good time during the month Of January.
 The chief source of expenditure for San Simon Jack was saloon which he purchased and turned over to his friends. This saloon supplied sport for a little more than week, but II was too slow for San Simon Jack, who in conseouence, found other means of souandering his fortune. Everybody in Cananea hopes that San Simon Jack will sell another mine next month.
 Somebody has managed to get some body connected closely with the Can anea Herald. interested in the lost mine which is supposed to be located within two miles of Cananea. This is a serious case, indeed, and the party responsible for it had better take care. Trifing with the tender feelings of the Cananea community can not be longer tolerated. Cananea can put up with lost mine but Il will not put up with lost newspaper man.
 Scott White is expected to return +o Cananea on the 10th of this month
