Bisbee daily review., 1906-06-17


 terests Col. Greene has accumulated in a few years his chief interest is with his first love, the cattle business He has for many years kept in view the establishment of a great csttle ranch on the borders of the United States and Mex1cu. How one brain could accomplish this in connection with the vast prospects is an enigma Suffice it to say that the Greene com panieS own more tL-n 6,000, 900 acres of land in Arizona and Mexico. Own ership of the land was acquired by purchase of four confirmed Spanish grants.
 Treated Everybody Fairly and
 Won Their Honest Reaard.
 Col. Greene bought out many squat ters' rights, also purchasing their eat tie, and he gained the good viii of the whole region. Last spring the brand was placed on 35,eOO calves, and rapid accessions are being made to the herd. Upon his rancn is the largest herd of pedigreed Hereford cattle iE the world under one owner ship, 2,500 head being the number of the male cattle portion.
 Pure bred horses are also reared on his Arizona ranch. and in the stables of Col. Greene in New York City are shown some of the most perfect horses ever bred in Misunderstanding ami mals of the highest excellence as trot- ters and runners.
 Commissioner Bartlett, who survey ed the boundary line between the United States and Mexico after the nlFSn of hn ;r hg port to the United States government, stated that the region wnIcn Col. Greene mas selected for his live stock olerations is the best grass country of America.
 The man who says the Opportuni- ties for making a fortune are not as good as they used to be is mistaken" said Col. Greene recently. "rhe op- pCrtunities for becoming financially independent or even very wealthy were never so great as they are today. \ few years ago the men who got pos session of large bodies of land al a normal value made q large fortune, and the increase of population and the wonderful industrial adyancements Of An erica have opened numberless new avenues for the young man who has the ambition to move up. What the country needs and what 1t is constant ly calling for are young men of energy and industry. who are capable of talk ing the initiative. It doesn't make any difference what part of the coun- try a young man may be living in, the field is open to hlin."
 Col. Greene has been twice married and his wife and four children are prized by him far beyond all riches Of farms, ranches, railways or mines. In the circle of family or friends in his NeT York City apartments or his Me2 ican hacienda the perpleXities of business fall from him as a mantle, and wherever he appears on account of his natural friendly disposition, he is greeted as a thrice welcome visitor. Colonel Greene at cananea
 During the Recent Trouble.
 During the recent insurrection and strike at Cananea, Col. Greene again demonstrated his ability as a leader and a directCT of an important crisis. Greene issued the orders for two days aC Cananea and one of those orders, at a critical time, was to shoot. Four leaders of the mob fell and the trouble for that day was ended. During all the time Greene wllked @1;- rode about his mines and smelting plant unarmed and often alone. Fear to hlm is entirely unknown. When the trou- ble had passed and the Mexican mill tary authorities again controlled the situation, Greene was again at his desk directing the affairs of one of the big geSt copper properties in he world.
