IMPROVEMENTS
 PLANNED IN CAnANEA
New Electric Light Line Does Not SubStantiate Rumor
 of UpriSings.

City Editor w. T. Owen, of the C&nanea Herald, who arrived in the city last evening from Cananea, brings news eff many improvements being planned for the Greene copper camp that do not bear out the rumors sent cut by the yellow journalists bearing on expected uprisings. Owen states that conditions in Cananea are all that could be desired and that the at- titude of the Mexican population to- ward the Americans is the most l friendly.
 The mining industry in and about | Cananea, he says, was never in a more healthy condition, and with the influx of new capital that is sure to follow the coming of the Cole interests in the taking over of the Cananea & Duluth and American properties, Cana nea must as a consequence take on a new life even more active than she has heretofore enjoyed. MT. Owen is in close touch with all that is going on in and about Cananea, and is we'll fitted to speak on prevalent condi- tions there.
 Real estate moves of importance are being put forward that indicate an in crease in the number of workmen 70 be employed in the camp and the in- dustrial corporations are preparing for an increased population.
 Speaking of the latter, MT. Owen said:
 "Electric light and power will be available on the Mesa within short i time. This week poles were delivered for such portions of the district as they had net previously been erected uLon. Monday erection of the balance of the pole line will begin and line men will follow at once with wire. Il is hoped that by the end of the month it will be possible to turn on lights.
 But for delay in the transmission of materials for the completion ot the line it would have been in operation by this time. The demand for the service among residences on the Mesa. together with the decided advantage that will be secured through the i'm proved lighting of the streets. makes if certain that the extension to this rart of the city will be highly advan- tegeous and mark another long step III advance in connection with it's rapid l progress
 Speaking of military condition. Mir. Owen stated that while the estaohsn--- lrtent of an army nost at CanansaGs looked upon by many not in touch with inside conditions as an indication of expected trouble, no outward mani f.station of such trouble is apparent.
 There is no doubt that the estap- lishment of the post is among the many good things that are being done for Canarea right now" said Owen al the hotel last evening, but l cannot see why this actiCr on the part oH the government should be construed asN a forerunner of a revolution. In at$ Likelihood, yes, the recent trouble hae3 some influence with the government in its decision to maintain the post there. but I believe that it would have come sooner or later anyway It IS lIceical, it is necessary that Mexico should have an army post in some i'm portant center of Sonora near to the bCrder. just as Uncle Sam has tort iHuachuca. Had this move come at any other time, it would have occa- stoned no comment, but unfortunately at this time the move iS coupled with rumors and reports galore, no doubt being given life by the as1tators among the Mexicans who are them selves fugitives from justice in their own country, and given impetus by the "pepnq-a-liaers" on this side of the line"
 MT. Owen was formerly city editor lon the Evening Miner here and his close acquaintance now with the de partment heads at Cananea, coupled with his powers of observing condi- tions make his statement weighty at this time when stock jobbers and agi- tators are particularly busy in their efforts to do Colonel Greene and the lCananea properties injury.
 MT. Owen will remain in the city over Sunday. returning to his duties at Cananea Monday.
