GREATEST CAMP IN FACE oF
 EARTH
Chas. M. Shannon, Copper Au- tiority, Expresses Himself in that Manner After Visit to Cananea,

- CANANEA, Nov. 5.-"The greatest today" was the summing up made by Charles M. Shannon at the close of a talk on the Cananea district, when he took departure for Clifton. Arizona. in response to telegram summoning him there with regard to the fight against joint statehood, in which he has been taking prominent and eff fective part. MT. Shannon arrived in Cananea on Sunday and from that time until he left was actively in the field, visiting properties of Greene Consolidated. Cananea Central and number of outlying holdings. He ex- poets to return to Cananea for brief stay following the election in Arizona On the 14th he will be obliged to be in Phoenix to preside over the first aI,- nual gathering of the Arizona Mining Association, of which he was made president upon its organization year ago. Following that date he will probably return to Cananea again. Re maining here in his interests Is Will IiamsT. Climo. Mir. Shannon expects to establish headquarters in the city for future mining operations he has in view in Sonora Cananea he con siders to hold forth great attractions for the investment of capital and ii is his intention to engage in the develop ment of property in the camp if he finds ground available. He now has several transactions under considera- ton. but at .the time of his departure had reached no definite conclusions. Among properties visited by MT. Shan non while here was the Cananea East thot u-oS certainly excellent so far as work ac- complished could be judged from and that the management had without question applied its money to good ad- vantage.
 It is understood that the Sonora Bo- nanza sale to the Guggenheim inter ests is at the present time considered practically off because of the refusal of a group of stockholders to come in on a pooling arrangement necessary in order to bring about transfer of the property in the complete manner the prospective purchasers insist upon. AS to the nuEs5er O. the stockholders talk ing position against sale nothing defi- mite has yet been given to the public. Efforts are understood to be underway to bring them into line and it may be that success viii attend these steps. Representatives of the company here i, and in the east who are favorable to A the proposed sale are at work to bring about an adjustment enabling the transfer. Some of the local represen- tatiyes, it is stated, will go east to put the situation clearly before the peo pie there. Those of the company who do favor the sale consider that good price is being offered and that the stockholders can we'll afford to accept rather than to assume the burden oi large expense which will accompany placing of the property by them upon the basis of divided payer of perma nency. Those standing out hold the opinion that the property nas been ad vanced by the stockholders to a point where its success is assured and that parting with it under the existing con ditions would deprive them of larger benefits than represented in the pur chase price offered.
 William T. Climo. widely known ir the Southwest as a mining engineer and expert. arrived in the city last Sat urday for a good look over the camI and also to examine several propertie. which have lately been before the in vesting public and which are now un der consideration by several groups o! mining people.
