 There has been so much specula- ton in the newspapers of the South west, says the Naco Budget. the past few months over the plans of Col W. c. Greene that there is a good deal of satisfaction tn being able to out line them direct from the big operator direct. This opportunity is afforded through the courtesy of Col. Greene | ln submitting to an interview in Fl Paso to a reporter of the Herald, when he frankly explained all his late moves on the checkerboard of South western development The coionel's movements and operations are of such prime importance 10 the people of this section that he is quoted in full.
 | Col. Greene explained that his re- cent trip cut of Fl Paso into Chih- uahua was nearly all the way through heavy timber between Nneya Casas Grandes and Temosiachic. all on what waa formerly the Garcia tract of g. 246, 900 acres. This tract runs over into Sonora about thirty miles ia which state is about 5O0,OOO acres of | the tract
 T have bought the Macmanus tract and have En option on the tract of the Banco Ge Londres in Mexico City, | the two aggregating about 100000 acres. making with the Garcia tract practically 3.O00.O00 acres.
 Besides the Mulatos gold mine3 in Sonora. which I have bought, have just closed a deal for the copper properties of A. B. Fall. Sam Ded- rick and associates.
 T have organized under the laws ci Connecticut the Sierra Madre Land md Lumber company, with a capi- talization of s15 100000, to exploit the ailroad, lumber, mining and smelt- ng and milling enterprises to be es- ablishsd in northwestern Chihuahua and at Muiatos. Sonora own the entire capital stock of this company and want to make it the greatest in Gustrial concern under one manage ment in all Mexico.
 There are now five engineering parties in the field to establish g route for the extension of the Sierra Madre railroad from Terrazas station, l25 miles to the junction of he Rio Chico with the Arcs liver, where the town of 'Dedrick' will be built. the own 10 be named for the pioneer of hat section. Samuel N. Dedr;ck. Here the first saw mills will be built and will be put in this winter. There VIII also he put il blaming mills, sash and door factory, and il is the plan to work up the output of 50OO00 feet of lumber per day, to deal in all classes of 6ressed lumber and make Ia speedily of extra 1engths and sizes, which can easily be obtained from he foresl3 of long-leafed pine finer than which none exist on Jne North American continent
 T am applying for a concession for a custom smelter to be built at Ded rick 10 trsat the ores from the Guan opita district, where there are as fine copper deposits as I know of. The plant will probably be of 200 tons ca pacity to start with.
 T have now on the Aros river ths distinguished electrical engineer. w B. Devercaux, who is looking up sits for large electric power plant us Ing water power to develop the cleo tricity. This power will be used tc run all the saw mills. smelier ant other plants to be established at Ded rick and to run the 1000 ton quart; mill to be put up on the Mulatos nm, forty miles distant. and if enougf power can bc had I. will be transmit ted to Cananea, where '15.OOO horse power is used
 AS to the railroad extension tf Dedrick, there are two feasible routes substantially the same as the route ws took from Nueya Casas Grandes tt Dedrick. 1 expect to get started or this work of construction within tho next sixty days. and to have the roat completed during the coming year.
 The road will be connected iatel ] with the Chihuahua and Pacific rail road from Chihuahua, probably al some point west of Temosiachic, tf ] which named point that company vii probably be in operation by next April according to its general manager. c L. Graves. This will give the city O Chihuahua a direct rail route to ths rich mineral and timber sections O the western part of Che state, with th' , thrifty Mormon colonies, and later . when tle road is built through Chih luahua aEd Sonora to Cananea.
