Bisbee daily review., 1906-02-04

Fred Hagen, of the firm Of Pritchard & Hagen, returned to the cty Friday from a business trip to La C1nanea. in the interest of the Caparea < Duluth Company. Speaking of the progress and growth of the big copper camp across the border, MT. Hagen said:
 Improvements at Capares are on the extensive order, and throughout the camp there is unquestiorabie evi. dences that fast strides are being made which before very long will place the city on a status of thor oGghly modern city. Substantial structures are replacing those which were hastily constructed during the period when tho camp first sprang into prominence. Property in the business ard residence sections has doubled and trebled in prices during the past year. and the future for Cananea un- 1, doubtediy is that t win be one of the very largest mining communities of the globe.
 Most noticeable among the i'm pIoyements being made at the Cana, nea camp are those of the c. c. c. Co. At the concentrators the vast changes and additions to the plant are such as immediately attract the attention of the visitor and one is al once favora- ply impressed. Everywhere on the 'C. C. c. Go. property operations are going forward at full blast, all present T ing an air Of permanency thai looks good.
 One of the new plants thaS will re dCund almost immediately to the good of Cananea in the way of increase in the number of employees of the camp is the erection os blaming mill by the Greene people which is already well advanced toward completion. The new plant Is being erected at the foot of the Mesa, and ought to be in oper- ation in the next four weeks.
 The railroad bed is to be changed | at once So as to run in ciose proximity | to the blaming min, so that the prepar- ed material for the mines can be most l conveniently handled Another change 1 in the railroad system Is that 0 run ming a narrow guage through the Mesa into Ronquiilo and the other import ! ant sections This wfll enable resi- ldents and business men to readily reach all points conveniently as the trains will be run frequently and the service will be about as handy as that afforded by street railway. These changes are in progress at the present I time
 "A new bank building, erected at ! the foot of Mesa Hin, has just been completed, and the institution a iew days ago opened iss doors for busi-
 ness. Hotel Sonora, owned by Col
 Breathtt. is to undergo thorough ren- l ovation and considerable remodsiing,
 and various other important business enterprises are putting on a front that | means enterprise and increased basi ness, all of which argues well.
 \ Among the new mining properties
 Immediately adjoining the city uf Can area, that are prosecuting develop ment of Sheir grounds. is the Cananea Duluth Copper Companys Dos Ma Iciones" claim. These people are at Ipresem preparing for systematio work for the sinking of two shatts on their property, and with the excellent show ling on the surface and through work lalready accomplished most certainly lhaYe bright prospects, according to
 the best mining men of the camp The IC-D. property adjoins the 'Cobre iGTands" mine of the c. c. c. Co, g Imine that produced the first ore treat ed by. these people in their coacsntra ltcrs, and from which was taken by the lSpaniards much rich ore carrying cop per and gold for shipment iA the early ! sk fNaA 5. se~ A 1 ing its quota of ore to the C. c.

 The Cananea-Dpinth is looked upon lin the camp as being one of the com ling properties of the section, and the IIep0rts Of competent engineers state Ithat comparatively small amount of development work is necessary tc Edemonstra1e the true value of the lgJound George A<MeMillan is pres lideut of the company.

 well as other prominent men of the lc;Jy. have absolute confidence in the

 Generally speaking Cananea never looked better than at present, and de
