GREENE TALKS OF
 HIS IMPROVEMENTS Shelter Will Reopen With the Capacity Almost
 Doubled,

Colonel W. c. Greene arrived in Fl Paso yesterday morning from Cana nea, and left on the Central for Ma dera, Chihuahua, where the big lum- Der mills for the Sierra Madre Land and Lumber company are being in- stalled. At Cananea the remodeling of the old plant and the installation of new machinery is being rushed and similar operations are being car ried on at Madera and the colonel Is dividing his time between the two places in order to rush the work as rapidly as possible.
 Work on the installation of new machinery is progressing rapidly" said Colonel Greene, "and when the remodeling is complete and all the new machinery is in we will have a smelter of double the capacity of the plant when we closed down and ca pable of more economical operation. It will probably be the 18th Of April before the new machinery is all in place, but we are rushing work on it to get it done as soon as possible. We are also receiving a great deal of other material, which we will use in the operation of the plant, and the freight business into Cananea is very heavy. We are finding it necessary to add to our force of men very rap idly as the work progresses and things are getting in very satisfac- tory condition
 That smelter at Del Rio is one of the problems of the future" said Colonel Greene. referring to this pro posed new plant We are figuring on it, but of course nothing definite yet has been done. It will probably be some time before anything is done because when we get the remodeled plant at Cananea in operation, it will double our present capacity and we will not make any more extensions right away. The Del Rio plant will never replace the Cananea plant.
 T am going down to Madera where the work being done on the pig mills requires a great deal of personal at tention to get the most satisfactory and rapid work out of the forces em ployed. Practically all the machinery for the mills there has been received and ali of 1t is across the border. We will probably be in position to star up both the plant there and at Can
