Besides the s'aughtering of cattle, sheep and hogs ! for retail and wholesale distribution, and facilities for handling frozen cuts. rihs and Joins, fine line of canned meats will be manufactured. Instead of using rough meats for the canning process the choicest cuts will be man. nfaotured into corned beef, roast 1 beef, potted meats and a highly sea 1 sOned canned product especially for ] the Mexican trade. In addition a concentrated rations product will be manufactured for the pTospectors go- t,,-- i,,+1 xS, Every canned product at present man. ufactured in Chicago and Kansas City will be manufactured by the Sonora l Packing company under surroundings i nnd conditions unexceIIed anywhere.

 Crystal ice and distilled water will | be manufactured. the ice plant hay ing capacity of 2500 tons daily, and to be manufactured on what is known as the plate system. turning gut plates of ice weighing 4000 pounds each.
 A department for the manufacture ] of tin pails, tin cans, barrels, etc. will an entirely separate industry. and the manufacture of sole and upper ! leather from the hides is still another branch of this gigantic enterprise to be operated in Sonora.
