Shelter Facilities Will Have to Be Enlarged and Modernized In the Future-Do Not at Present Compare With the Douglas Shelters, But MT Greene Faced Difficulties.

, CANANEA, Mex, May 3.-(Special Correspondence)-The progress of the
 Cananea mineral zone. is observable
 as It were from the car windows, from the moment one sees the last of the stars and stripes fiuttering in the dis
 tance. In the shadow of roundhouses and machine sloPs, half yelled in the murky smoke of the locomotive, pant
 ing to begin its daily race to the great camp, one sees the big wheels of
 traction engines, and the crumbling
 wagons with which the initial work was begun.
 The old wagon road around on the
 western foot of the San loses, is ob- , liberated in places, and worn by the elements in others until it presents impossible seams in natures face, all of which is eloquent in the contempla- ton of the traveller who reflects on
 the gigantic magnitude Of the great
 camp today. . Aside from the physical vicisitudes
 undergone by the promoters of the en- terprise in it's infancy, the traces of recent violence, which in turn yielded
 to complete Lacification and perfect order on the bosom of the fair mesa within the city limits of Cananea, are Impressive in the extreme. These con stitute themes and subjects worthy tof the pen of the most gifted contribu- tor
 The cold, business aspect Of the camp appeals to the average traveller above the glamor and the romance which surrounds its history.
 | The Cananea, Rio Yaqui and Pscifi-
 co has been improved and equipped in
 a manner and to a degree which pre-
 cludes the slightest doubt as 10 the ui- innate plans of the SouTnern Pacific in the premises.
 At the present moment the range is at it's worst and the insignificance of the stock industry as compared with the one towering subject, mining, Is strongly accentuated.
 | In one short year, Cauanea has un- | dergone a yeritabel transformation The late labor distUTUances, appear ! ing so momentous to the bad at the l time, have eyentuated in a change which recalls the profound adage. that blessings oft come in disguise. | The immediate incident and it's tragic aftermath. will ever be depIored, but the situation constituted an 'frrepress- able conflictss and the- sooner such tproblems are solved the better. Can tanea is now out of the bad lands of uncertainty and on the high road to solid and unfailing prosperity from which it cannot be turned in gene | ration.
 | The mesa has become the, residence part of Cananea, utilized by practf- caliy all Americans. and the, better class of Mexicans.
 Every+ step reflects the enterprise, the generosity and the. munilcence of Colonel Greene, who seems to take a profound pride in Beautifyihg, erna- menting and strengthening the splen- did monument which his remarkable mind, rugged character and indomita- ble will has reared in the modern Hand of Caanan."
 Among other features. the city park, although the work has scarcely begun, gives promise of becoming one of the most charming lounging places in the southwest Public buildings, schools. and all modern improvements and util- ities are in proftise evidence on every hand. Just at present a mild digres-
 sion from the path of perfect harmony and progress has occurred fin the form of a waIkout of about 200 men, prin- cipally Mexicans, in the Elisa, but mo-
 thing of a grave character has arisen
 above the horizon Of Cananea's fu-
 ture The streets, private premises
 and vacant grounds have been scrupc- | lously cleared and renovated with view to the best obtainablc sanitary
 conditions.
 Comparisons, if not odious, are sometimes unpalftable, but when ldrawn in an honest, friendly spir- lit, followed by prediction. of the most optimistic character, they are not altogether unwelcome.
 | The Snqeiter Plant.
 | The big smelter, with its incidental
 equipment and paraphernalia.. will in
 no respect compare to the Copper
 Queens great reduction plant in
 Douglas. Few strictly modern and
 approved features appear in its con-
 struction or operation. Bxt when one
 reflects upon the conditioas which sur
 rounded it's constructioa and the ob-
 stacles which had to be overcome,
 along with the extraordinary results
 which have been rseped, he s com- pelled to confess 2. species of admira-
 ton for the hand that did tbe work if
 not form of vAneration for the work itself Like the Emperor Francis,
 when usherfd captive into the dingy
 tent of Nepoleon the night after the
 battle of Austerlitz. when the latter
 essayed to apologize for his meager
