ICANANEA IS ON
 A SOLID BASIS.

 accommodations, Colonel Greene ought to be proud of the old plant, he has made such good use of 1t. It is quite evident to the eye of practical discern ment that the big plant must, and will shortly, give place to one of vastly greater capacity, embodying strictly modern features in every respect The amount of bessemer block produced by the Cananea shelter within a giv- en period speaks most eloquently of the quality of the ore.
 The Coneentrstor.
 It Is at the concentration that the visitor becomes wrapt in admiration and even confusion as he climbs from floor to floor, amid thousands of whir- ring wheels and belts and oscillating tables, through an uninterminable maze of buildings, constituting a yeri- table forest of corrugated iron build ing, buildings of brick, buildings of masonry, with skeletons of structural steel, with towers and tramways and conyeyors apparently without end. The architect and designer who plan ned this work must have felt a strain both os body and brain before 1t was completed. The concentrator has a capacity of something oyer two thou sand tons of ore every twenty-four hours, which of course accounts to a great extent for the phenomenal out put of the smelter This plant is strictly up-to-date in every particular, and will doubtless be worn out before innovations of consequence shall have been invented and put into practical operation.
 cananea as a District.
 It is the possibilities of the district and not the specific results obtained in the four Cs property that interest the mining world in general and the solid mining man in particular.
 In this respect, while a vast proven field has been opened up with Cana nea as the nucleus, these neighboring propositions have not materialized to the good with that wonderful uniform1- ty which has characterized the pro gresS and expansion of the NacOzari district, where failures are seldom, if ever. recorded. Here another compari- son intrudes itself without the formali- ty of an apology. A gentleman very prominent in the development of the Cananea district and who, few years ago, labored in a practical capacity in the Pilares de Nacozari, asserted un- hesitatingly yesterday that ores in and about the last named mine were distinctly higher grade than in the great Cananea mine and among its neighbors. He also ventured the pre- diction that the Pilares contained the greatest compact ore body in Sonora This conclusion if adopted cannot de tract from the wonderful resources of and conditions existing in the Cana nea district.
 Should you ask fifty different pio- neer mining men, each of whom was conversant with the character and ex- tent of the district, regarding it's na- ture and area, no two of them would even approximately agree. The cas- ual visitor diyested of prejudice or in terest in the premises, may, after a mature survey of the situation, arrive at a more nearly correct and impar. tial conclusion than the man who has tied his hopes and faith to some par ticular spot in those hills for years He has no eyes for anything but his own proposition, or for one, the glory of which is reflected against his own hillside, no ears for praise which does
