 GREENE ENTERPRISES.
Chihuahua Looks to the Man Who fds Built up Sonora to do as Much
 for that State.

The Greene GOIu-Sl4FtI tOAH I'dilN U the name of the great mining com panv organized by ". (. Greene of (ananra to take over the vast mineral interest, he has acquired in thi, state and the great Mulato- mine, in Sonora. The capitalization i, not known here. but it must be way uu in the millions or to be in- creased to some enormous amount. for it not only include, the famous Nulatos mines. which are d mountain of low grade gold ore. but the Quay nopita copper mines. the terro Bo-
 udo .eold-,ilvcr mine. tine Ncte Gran dc at Pino, Altos, the santa Ju!ldnd. including il.O00 acre, of timber land just purchased in Jesus Maria. and last and most important still. MT. Greene, thrcc-ycar mineral concc7- sion on over 3.0oo.O00 acres of land in the western part of this state and over the line in Sonora.
 The Greene Gold-Silver company i, expected to do for Chihuahua what the Greene Consolidated company ba, done for Sonora. but it should. with hi, allied concern. the Sierra Madrc Land and Lumber company. capital :i5.ooo .o0o. do much more and the Greene consolidated has in five
 years built up a city of 23.0OO people, and it is today the biggest city in that state.
 The very latest news that k taking the breath of every mining man Tn this state is that he ha, supplement- ed his purchase of the Santa Juliana in Jesus Maria and that he has closed q deal with the Bdnco MincrO and Kcttlcsen x Dcgctau for another famous old mine. the santa Eduviges, in the same camp. and has made location of 2000 acres of mineral laud around the former mine.
 The Santa Eduyigce aside from hay ing been a great producer. has the halo of romance of being known as 'thc old Tabor mine. for it was here that the noted Senator Tabor of Col orado made his last struggle to re- coup the vast fortunes which he had wasted away. He failed, not from any fault of the mine, but his for tunes had sunk too low to carry the property through to q productive stage and if i, said that he lost all that was not stolen from him by d lot of ruthless COrmorauts who had been hanging onto him for his crcdi' tors.
 Nr. Greene i, io-in" no time in get ting hi, vast mining interest, under way. Not only has he got Prof.Roht. r. Hill, the noted ccologiSt, with other scientists. into the field cXplor- in" his vast landed area. and W. E. DcvorcauX, one of the most noted electric power expert, in the United States, looking out line for the transmission of electric power from the Aro, river to CduIuca. and cx- tending hi4 railroad from Nucva to CdsaS GrandcS, Chihuahua. into his lands. \ party has already left here to commence work on the santa .Iuliana. The party consists of John (. Beatty. of New York, who aS the manager and principal owner in the Bclvancra Mining company, which owned the santa Juliana. is going out to turn over the property. He k accompanied by C. <. MciIcnrv. of tIuuuca, who k to report on the property and who will possibly be the manager; Ed. Massey. another Greene mining man, and <. Aeuirrc, of NaCo, Arizona. who is to take charge of all of the Greene com pany's mercantile interest, at Jesus Maria. pcdrick and other points.
 These purchases of mines at Jesus Maria mean that Greene will build d railroad into it when it k destined to become one of the greatest gold silver camps in the world. It k said that Mir. Greene has already stated his purpose to build a railroad into the camp and that his present plan i, not only to extend his railroad. the Rio Graudc, Sierra Madrc and Pa AiiN lP ltlN liNN lpN V or i'ttll lN IA. l-' miles. but to extend it on to the Mu- latos mines and run d narrow gauge to Jesus Maria.

 An industrious Statisticidn has fig urcd out that the United States. which has only five per cent. of the worlds population, produced in 1900 3o per cent. of the worlds gold: p per cent. of it's coal; 33 per cent. of its silver: B per cent. of its iron: .}S per cent. of its steel: 70 per cent of ! it's petroleum. and II per cent. of it's | copper. This is an interesting record i of how great we are in the mineral ] industry.
