 ness he faithfully prosecuted develop ment and in 1899 the great worK at
 Cananea was first started.
 | Today Cananea is one of the most active and iiourishing mining camps in the world. Located upon d Inountaln 1 mesa, sloping towards the San Pedro 1 river, at an elevation of more than a
 nile above the level of the sea, the
 eye is here greeted with an inspiring
 view of a young and growing city,
 with electric lights, telephone, tele- | 6; aph. electric railways, water works,
 mercantile establishments, schools
 churches ana yall. accessories Of twen-
 tieth century civilization.
 The Financial Interests of the
 | Colonel are Vast as Kings The Greene Consolidated Coper com pany and its allied interests at can snea carry 5000 names upon their | payrolls, and upwards of SI2,000, 900
 have been expended in improvements. Business is projected upon scale that | almost staggers a mind not acquainted | with immense modern enterprises and i the facility with which they can be ] pushed forward.
 From the start. Col. Greene SrasPed | the magnitude of the undertaking and his confidence and enthusiasm soon became contagious. Various depart | ments were organized for the efficient l transaction of business, so that all | operations are now conducted upon a system as perfect as anywhere has been daylsed. Among the departments ! are the banking. Jaw. the land, the railway. the mercantile and the min | ing departments of public improve | ments, each of which is under the di. i rection of skilled management. Col. Greene receives reports regu. larly from his chiefs and his talent for selecting the right man far the right place is shown in the remarka. ble success If the general organiza- tiCn.
 His method is to decide upon a line Of operation, consult with the head of the department as to the means for its accomplishment. place at his command the necessary resources and
 judge by the results.
 Having selected a man for any specified undertaking Col. Greene
 trusts him fully and backs him to the limit. His employees are his friends
 and fealty to friends is one of Col. Greene's first principles.
 Has Mining Plant at Cananea
 Model for the WorI6. The transformation that has been | witnessed in the last seven years at | Cananea is one of the most interest | ing chapters in the history of modern mining. It calls for immense faith
 on the part of the projectors and the | best ability oi the mining world. The most experienced ISining engineers who have visited this spot declare l that in all the mining camps there { has been no parallel to Cananea. The
 knowledge of Col. Greene as to To-
 cal conditions was of great value, and his acquaintance with the people in : that wild region made many steps com raratively easy. The confidence of
 the intelligent Mexicans and the
 Americans in Col. Greene himself was an important element He under

 as he does English, and the custom and mode of the inhabitants of the Southwest are perfectly familiar. The copper at Cauanea occurs both in fissure and blanket formation. the 1 veins ranging from four to forty feet l in thickness. The ore is divided into ! two classes, high and low grade, the , foi mer averaging 10 to l2 per cent copper and the latter per cent. More than thirty miles of underground workings have disclosed bodies Of ore | So immense that figures do not tX- press its value.
 The deepest workings are over roo feet below the surface. The smelters l have a capacity of 2,000 tons of ore
 day and the conCerterS refine the
 matte for shipment to the Atlantic l coast.
 Concentrators operate on low grade
 ore, handle 1000 tons of ore daily,
 reducing seven tons of ore into ne.
 Electric haulage is gradually being ID, l troduced and lines for Aux in the smelters is found on the property ot | the company, which covers 50o,G00 acres of land. The known mineral | portion covers 10000.
 The Transportation Problem 1 Received His Eearly Attention
 One of the earlier steps of the com | pany was the construction of a railw ay ( lO'Nb 1OAiSob SOAhCNIih5 NohaA-c with Naco, Arizona, on the Fl Paso & 1 Southwestern rAILmz zy. The line was later sold to the Southern Pacific, bu'
 a twenty-five year contract insured a | low freight rate for the mining camp.
 Enormous outcroppings give assar
 ance of l long, continued progress in | the development, as it will require
 generations to exhaust the wealth that ] lies buried in the Cananea mountains
 No man can place bounds to this mag l nificent enterprise.
 | Another great mining enterprise oi | which Col. Greene is president is the Greene Consolidated Gold company | which owns placer grounds extending for fourteen miles along the Santo Domingo Tivee in the state of Sonora
 Mexico. It is one of the largest min | ing projects ever launched in Amer ca. The gravel yields a value of 1 70 cents to SIP per cubic yard. Col Greene first prospected this region twenty-two years ago, but was driyeT ! out by the Indians. He returned 1T I 1886, after the capture of Chief Geron | ino and the subiugation of the treach
