Cananea, May 25.-iSpecial core spondence Of The Republican.)-Th two-year Greene concession of mineral lands surrounding Cananea, which consisted of 1S5 square miles, elapsed on the 11th of May. As soon as the date was made public there was a rush to the mineral agents office and prac- tically the entire district embodied in the concession was denounced. Many hundreds of acres of land which is use less for mineral purposes was de- nounced but it is known that several good properties were secured. One Of these was tract of 200 acres which the Southwestern Mining company secured. This is considered as the finest piece of undeveloped copper land in this sec tion. It is in the foothills of the Man zanal mountains and is we'll watered and timbered.
 The Cananea Consolidated Copper company, or the Greene ditto, de- nOunced about 5000 acres and it is all considered to be excellent copper land. MACHINERY FOR PICACHO MINE.
 A large order for mine machinery was sent in by the Clancy Bros, own of the Fl Picacho mine, which is controlled by their company. the Fl Picacho Gold Mines company.
 Among the machinery ordered was two lOX12 double drum, link motion hoists and boilers and engines for same. Two air compressors and ten Ingersol air drills, cages and other ma chinery including rails and cars for the mine.
 The Clancy Bros. intend getting the mine into shape so that 100 tons of ore can be produced daily. This ore will be teamed to the Gro Maximo mill two miles away over road built espe- cially for this purpose and will be treated there. As the mine stands at present there is half a million dollars worth of ore on the dumps and at least one million dollars worth in the mine ready to be knocked down and taken out.
 LA NOCHE BUENA MINE.
 This mine was originally worked by the Spaniards about 100 odd years ago and as a result they left behind them a shaft about seventy feet deep and several gopher tunnels.
 The present workers of the property have found silver ore running 500 ounces in the bottom of the shaft and this ore is being sacked for shipment. The present company is headed by GastOn SchwOb of Cananea and the stock of the company is held in Ca nanea and Bisbee.
 RUSHING WORK AT ORC MAXIMO.
 Development work is being rushed at the Orc MaXimO mine so that all will be ready for the mill which is being shipped to Cananea. The mill timbers are being framed and the mine being put in shape to produce 100 tons day. The mill has a capacity of 200 tons and will handle the ores from both the Picacho and Gro Maximo mines.
 The Orc MaXimo mine is owned by the Clancy Bros. of Detroit and is con- trolled by the Orc Maximo Mining company of Detroit, Mich.
 GOOD ORE IN AMERICAN MINE
 In shaft No. 3, now known as the Bo- nanza shaft, ore running from 45 per cent to SO per cent in copper has been found. This shaft was sunk on a crop ping 800 feet long and six feet wide on the surface. At twenty-five feet a body of green copper ore was dis covered which lasted for five feet and below this the high grade ore was found. The shaft is now down fifteen feet in this ore and a twelve foot cross cut has been driven which has not as yet reached the walls. The ore is a chalcocite and the extent of the body a yet has not been determined but it is known to be immense.
 The property is owned by L. Lindsey of Los Angeles, who is also president of the American Mining company. which is developing the mines. Over 5000 feet of work has been done and 65 per cent of this is in ore. J. W. Tal- bot of Boulder, Colo, Is manager of the mines.
