S|NALOA IS RICH Gov Caneda Passes Through on Way to See President
 Diaz. BELIEVES RAILROADS
 WILL MEAN MUCH.
Was at Cananea Yesterday, Meeting General Luis Torres There, But Failed to See Col. Greene, Who Was Away.

On his way to the City of Mexico, in response to a request from Presi- dent Diaz that he call at the Mcxi- can capital to discuss matters of state, Governor Caneda passed through Bis lee yesterday in the private car, Sill .Serbell.
 Governor Ceneda arrived in Cananea Wednesday evening, remaining there until yesterday afternoon. At Naco his private car was attached to the tran for Fl Paso. where he will be transferred to the Mexican Central.
 Just what Governor Caneda went to Cananea for has not been divulged. He did not meet Colonel w. C. Greene there, though he did see General Tor res. He refused while in Bisbee to divulge the cause of his visit to the copper camp.
 Though not officially given out, it is said that Governor Caneda is on his way to the City of Mexico 70 an- swer charges that have been preferred by his enemies in Sinaloa, the nature of these accusations being that he has grafted on the industries of the state he governs.
 Governor Caneda is = an imposing looking gentleman. When seen yes terday he was miserly with his words, refusing to talk over matters that might be construed as expressing an opinion of making known the object of the trip he is now taking. How ever, he talked cheerfully .aout the state of Sinaloa. .... Railroads. which We hope will soon be built through my state,' said Governor Caneda, will work wonders in the resources of our section. We have great gold, silver, copper, lead and iron deposits. some of which are being worked, but most of which are as yet undeveloped. and many of them not even prospected.
 "Sinaloa's mineral advantages are but little known. They are hard to get to and for that reason it has been difficult to interest capital. With railroads we will soon rank with So nora and Chihuahua in the matter of our mines ~.r-ase
 Agriculture is as yet in a back ward state. We have section that would produce abundantly and enjoy heavy export trade were the fertile acres cultivated and means of trans porting our products from the interior to the coast afforded.
 "The next few years will see many wonderful changes in Sinaloa. My people are industrious and If they knew that their mines and farms were going to reach ready market they would not be slow to take aa- vantage of what nature has already done for them"
 Surveying parties for the Cananea, Yaqu! River & Pacific road have been at work in Sinaloa for months. They have practically settled on the line that will pass through the richest section of the state. With its build ing, millions of capial will pour into the country. But few rich Mexicans are now to be found in Mexico. The wealth of the state has fallen into the hands, for the most part, of Germans, who con- trol the plantations and the mines. . Bananas, cocoenuts, oranges and all other tropical fruits grow in abund- arce. In Culiacan, the capital of the state, the streets are lined with CO., coanut trees.
 Governor Caneda was agreeably surprised at Cananea and Bisbee. this being his first visit to either Of the two places. On his way from the City of Mexico he may again stop over here. Though he has been governor for the past fifteen years, he has done but little travelling outside of his own part of Mexico.
 On his way to Guaymas, where he left a steamer that carried him from the coast of his own state, Governor Caueda had an eXceDtiOnally rough voyage At one time he feared that the ship might go down, and sailors were ordered to man the life boats. The storm passed without doing Sam- age.
