Things In
 AND About Cananea
THE CAMP IS LOOKING BETTER
 THAN EVER BEFORE.
The New Mil Was otarted Saturday, and Works Like Charm-Dr. Rick cts Again Proves His Wonderful Aai'ity as Constructor and Eeono- mist.

The Cananeas, Probably one of the most wonderful evidences of what one man can do is the camp at Cana nea- When one steps to consider that only little over four years ago there was nothing at Cananea. and now there is a great city, which in its en- vironments embraces almost twenty five thousand people; where stands handsome three-story brick buildings, where is evidenced all of the advant- ages of social surroundings, the on- locker naturally turns to the hand and mind that conceived, and the brain which worked out the problem, which energy and enterprise has consum- mated
 To those near Bisbee. the building and development of Cananea is more or less familiar. To the stranger, the history will be one of amazement. And still the hand of progress is busi- ly engaged in this fourth copper min ing camp in the world. The past twen- ty-four hours marked a new beginning in the Cananeas. The reconstructed mill under the supervision of Dr. Rick etts was started up yesterday morn ing and moved off without a hitch. and is bound to work revolution in the copper production of this camp. One side of the mill has been entirely re- constructed, new crushers have been installed, conveyor system which is a marvel in rapidity is in operation. which will materially lessen the cost of handling the ores, as it is now al- most upon an automatic basis, from the moment the ores are dumped into the bins until they in pulp form reach the vanners. Marvellous automatic, yet simple machinery, now takes the place of numberless men. while great army of laborers are still Tt work grading about the new steel mill designed by Dr. Ricketts, and structural iron workers have erected the frame work of the new mill in less than two weeks.
 To go into detail at this moment would take much more space than can be given in this number of the Review. On every hand, however. may be seen the evidences of economies in the production of the red metal and every contrivance is being added that will decrease the cost. and tend to- ward the payment of dividends.
 MT. Morrow, the late general man. ager, has been succeeded by MT. Dwight, who has occupied the position of assistant to the president and con- sulting engineer, and who assumes the general management of the entire plant, and who is noted in the United States as one of the best metallurgists in the country. Admirably equipped with all that is up-to-date in the tech nical knowledge to carry on success fully so large an enterprise as the Cananea Consolidated Copper O., MT. Dwight also possesses that even tenn perament and Keen perception of hu- man nature as to make him the ideal manager. Wherever you go around the camp, all have a good word for the General Manager, and this IS sure to lead to success, where the esprit du corps of the working force is well up 10 the standard.
 The force of men underground in the Veda Grande has been largely in- creased in anticipation of the demands that will be made upon the mines now for ores owing to the increased facilities for handling them through the concentrators. John J. Evans, superintendent of this mine, is doing some great stope work, and is busiiy engaged forcing to completion the tun- nel No. g, which is now within two hundred feet of completion, and when completed will connect the Veda Grande with the Oversight from which large volumes of ore are being ex- tracted. The Capote is still the sterl- ing good property it has always been, ana is sending into the shelter it's full quota of rock which produces the vel low stuff
 The reduction division is in charge of Mir. Lloyd, and is in the best of con dition, the output being materially in creased by the use of the dust from the new flue, which from the moment of it's completion has proven it's worth, the saving in what had heretofore been absolutely waste, amounting to ten per cent All this dust is now drawn from the flue and taken to the ore bins, ! where it is thrown in with the fines" and made into a sort of mud and then run through the smelter, thus saving l if all
