GREENE NOT WORRIED
 OVER OLD SUIT
Cobre GIande Law Suit Has Twice Been Settled in High
 CourtS,of Mexico.

Boston-The suit of the minority of the Cobre Grande Cop per company vs. Col. William c. Greene. the Greene Consolidated Cop per company and the Cananea Consol- dated Copper company, is not consid- cred seriously by Greene interests, for the principal reason that the conten- tions of the minority stockholders have all been thrashed cut in the courts, both state and Supreme. and in every case resulted in victory for Col. Greene.
 The Cobre Grande Copcr company was originally formed to develoo the r'inc Grande property in canaaea under a bond given by Col. Greene which called for quarterly payments of $37. 7.000. and the bond provided that in case the agreement was not lived up to. the property would revert to Col. Greene. No payments were made upon the bond as agreed upon and the property reverted back and later be came part of the Greene Consolidated Copper company.
 At that time Col. Greene secured for an insignificant sum a controlling interest in the old Cobre G aL1c com pany and added this stock to the Greene treasury. The old Cobre Grande was a paper concern, and nev. CT put up a dollar in payment for the property. It had title only by min ing bond, which was forfeited. : Later the taxes on the Cobre Grands ;srscd, and still later the Greene cor. raI,y took title directly from the gov, ernment by letters patent, thus giving it clear title to the ground, which ground, however, is now considered part of the operations of the Greene Consolidated Copper company.
