Justice Brown, Who Was in New York at Tine, Tells How He Made in-
 vestigation of Promoters Scheme
 The recent arrest of pr. Flower in ] New York. and his being detained in , the tombs of that city, recalls fake mining company that he promoted in Cochise county a few years ago. | Justice Brown, who was in New York when the company sold several | hundred thousand dollars worth of stock, is thoroughly familiar with Powers methods, and gives the story of the manner in which he did busi- ness.
 | Justice Brown would never have probably noticed that Flower was fax ing the public had it not been for the reason that he was called upon by one of the promoters agents. and asked about the property owned by the com pany.
 This agent had sold friend sever al thousand dollars worth of the stock. and was anxious about the stability of the company. He went to Justice Brown and asked him what kind ot property was owned by the company 'I told him." said Justice Brown yesterday, that as far as l knew Flowers scheme was a humbug. had just left the office of the county
 recorder in this county. and did no
 remember of ever having seen th'
 articles of incorporation of the com
 pany.
 One of the advertisements of thu
 company stated that the property Wa i in the Dragoon mountains, and tha
 a tunnel a mile long had already beer
 put in. The public was informed tha
 there was about s150000,000 worth O
 copper ore in sight
 To make sure that the Flower com
 pany had no property in this county Justice Brown wrote to Recorder
 Frank Hare and asked him if they haf
 filed articles of incorporation. Tn
 answer came back that they had not This was in the winter of 1899. Flow CT and those associated with him solt

NEW CANANEA ENTERPRISE

A few days ago Director of Customs Arrangouis paid Naco 8 visit. coming all the way from the City of Mexico to look into the needs of the customs service at that pace.
 The customs director gave 1t out that upon his return to the Mexican capital. he would make immediate ar engagements for the building of the customs house.
 Tt is rumored." said Consul Gavito that there will be a complete change of employees in the new custom house This is only heresay. but 1t seems to have come from pretty good authori ty."
 This informant stated that Colonel Greene will soon open up the immense p acer fields in the Santa Domin go district of Sonora He already has large amount of machinery on the ground.
 Consul Gayito was accompanied dur. ing his visit to the city by Az Precia do, who is agent in the Arizpe mining district for the Mexican government He said:
 Tt is true that Colonel Greene is about to open these placer fields. They are considered one of the biggest min eral propositions in th state of Sonora. and several hundred men will be hired to take out the gold"
 Both Of the officials returned to Naco on the train yesterday evening They have great confidence of the flu. tuer of Sonora, ard Naco in particu lar.

Colonel W. c. Greene vii shortly build large factory at Cananea for the manufacture of copper and tin wre
 This information was given out yes terday by Max Gsvito, Mexican consul at Naco. He spent the day in the city on mining business.
 Consul Gavito further stated that the cause of General Torres recent visit to Cananea was the closing of the gambling games, and some slight changes in the municipal government of that city. Speaking further about the factory to be built at Canane, Consul Gavito had the fo lowing to say:
 Colonel Greene has looked into the matter and finds that it will be more profitable to make his copper into goods that can be sold in Mexico than to send the copper to the United States.
 I'll cannot say how soon the factory will be built, but think that Colonel Greene's visit east may have some connection with the starting of the factory.
 Tt will be a great enterprise for Sonora and will make some difference in the amount of this class of goods that are imported from the United States"
 Consul Gavito said that he expects v,,cSrl, to haoin in short time on the new customs house at Naco. It Is to cost about s3O.000, and will be built of brick and stone.
