BIG COPPER COMBINE
HAS TAKEN SHAPE.
Greene Cananea Copper COM
pany VIII Control the En-
tire Cananea District.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Thia corre-
apondenco last week contained an exclu-
slve announcement OF n rumor OF plans
To bring about the formation Of a copper
trust. something along the lines OF the
United States Steel corporation. These
rumors first assumed form and shape in
connection with the reports that power
ful interests were planning n merger OF
the copper mines OF northern Mexico.
Confirmation to some OF these reports OF
large and daring plans occurred when
the daily newspapers contained the fol-
lowing official announcement:

that deal has been completed by which
Thomas +. Ryan and John D. Ryan and
their associates have acquired heavy In

the new company will Issue 500, 900, 600 of

Greene Consolidated on the basis OF 500
600, 900 for the property, and for stock
Of the Cananea Central on the basis of
$40 600. 000 for the property, Ample cash
has been provided in this plan for en-
OF property. No stock will be offered TO
the public. Messrs. Cole. Ryan and
Greene will leave shortly for Mexico to
inspect the properties and lay out a plan
for equipment and development.
THE Greene Consolidated Copper com
pany is now one OF the large copper pro-
ducers of the world. and IL is believed
that the new company will not be eX-
celed by any company now in existence.
The company will be Incorporated under
the laws OF Minnesota, with nine direc-
tors, who will represent all the large in

entrance TO this property and informa-

sufficient information can be cleaned to
demonstrate that the general course of
the vein is east and west, which fact
is clearly shown by the location of a
second shaft half way up the summit
and in westerly direction from the
main working shaft. This second shaft
is now about 100 feet deep and sufh-
