Theatrical.

The Lyman Twins paid lis re-
turn visit last Tuesday night, APP
pearing at Reynolds Opera. House

of the largest audiences of the sea
son greeted them. The success of
the past seasons was repeated, in
fact the company brings with them
larger number of people. The
twins, always entertaining, have
improved if anything. They act
and dance we'll and sing better.
Myrtle Thompson, as Blossom, is
a lithesome, graceful, elfin creature.
She is young and good looking with
plenty of chic and sprite. At least
this is the way she appeared TO the
bachelor portion of the audience.
The married men might as web
have said so.
Patti Rosa had fustic role which
did not become her, and she did not
appear to advantage as she has
done before, She has good sing
ing voice, but did not have a song.
This lady inherits her art, at the
same time she has been favored
with happy appearance and a
warm smile. A good round role
like Alan Dale. in Robin Hood
would give her better opportunity
to demonstrate her better quail
ties.
The chorus was larger, of course,
but not very musical. The show
was good enough. Anyway the au
dience was we'll pleased. II is prop
er to remark that many out -of-town
people were present, probably
third or more of the crowd, which
speaks we'll tor manager Reynolds

over the ceiling. Deceased leaves a

ton at Cananea in the past it is a
well known fact that it was an ex-
travagant cost; Cananea has always
been noted. according to the opinion
of those who should know something

nomical arrangement of the work
done Under the management of DR..
Ricketts, and now with a practically
new and rearranged plant Cananea
may be ready to surprise some one
with new cost price for the produc-
ton of copper It was recently pub
lished in a Boston journal that the
cost of mining at Can2-1-a had al
ready been reduced about thirty per
cent. If such a reduction could be
attained in the operation of the re-
duction plant old figures regarding
the cost of copper production at Can
anea would be back numbers sure
enough. Whatever be the intentions
of the Cananea directors concerning
future operations at the big Sonora

the plant is being rushed.

GREENE CONSOLIDATED REPORT
COVERING SEVENTEEN MONTHS

These improvements have necessitat-
ed large expenditures, charged agains,
bullion. and consequently an abnor-
mally high cost for. producing our
copper. A resumption of operations
can be ordered as quickly as the con-
dition OF the copper market assures
the sale of our product at profitable
price"
General Manager L. d. Ricketts, in
his report on conditions at the prop
critics, explains the workings of the
new 'slicing" system that has been
introduced and comes to the conclu-
sion 'that because OF this system and
other economics being introduced
that our mining costs will be notably
lowered in the future. In January,
1907, the system of keeping costs CT
mining was changed, and all work at
the mines, with the exception of con-
struction work on the surface, has
since then been charged to the cost
of mining. Throughout the year 1907,
to the month OF October, which was
the last month the mines were oper-
ated. a steady decrease in mining
costs was obtained. In January, 1907,
the cost of mining, including construc-
ton, was 81 per cent of the cost for
August. 1906 For the month of Sep
TENDER, 1907, the mining costs, in
Guiding construction were SO per cent
of the August, 1906, costs, showing a
reduction in these fifteen months of
about 81 per cent.
During the period in question the
condition of the mines made it ex-
pedient for us to attack very lean ore.
We have, however, large reserves OF
ore of a much better grade, and when
we resume production we shall, as
long as the price of copper is below
the average Of the past seventeen
months. utilize ore of a better grade.
1.-The most important developments
On the property during the past year
have been in the Oversight and Ca
pote mines and at Puerto Citos."
In the Oversight to the northwest
of the previously known lode, ore has
been developed that will yield from 80
to go pounds of copper to the ton,
while to the southeast a run of good
ground was found on the second and
third levels In the black stope o.
/ the Capote very large quantity, sew
eral hundred thousand tons, of lean
4 ore has been opened up but it is
doubtful if this ore win mine to a
grade much exceeding per cent
gross.
A great deal Of work has been
done on the concentration, the fur
naces. converters, ETC., and the eff
cheney Of the whole plant has been
charged to operators although the
capacity of the paint has been large
| ly increased by the work done.
In discussing the cost of mining
Mr.. Ricketts, says:
The cost Of mining and benefici
ating a ton of ore at Cananea, includ
ing the costs OF freight, refining, and
selling the copper, has fallen year by
year. The average cost for the period
in question was about one-fifth less
than for the year 1906, and 80 pei
cent less than for 1905. This reduc
ton has come almost altogether
from reductions in the costs of min
ling"

announcement of any change at that
camp can only be conjectured. The
reduction plant has been Idle SINCE
last October and during that time IT
has been completely overhauled and
remodeled according to modern lines.
This work is now nearing completion,
SO that IL the company desired to re-
sumo production in the near future
it could be done. 1t was learned that
two of the furnaces would probably
be in operation by April 1. Every
one who visits Cananea and who
knows anything about mining have
been returning during the last two
months telling the same story about
the splendid results Of the develop
ment work which has been going on
there since reduction was discontin-
ued. Large amounts of fine ore has
been developed which is now ready
for the smelter. In the Cananea-Du-
Iuth the most encouraging results
have been shown. There has been
considerable talk about Cananea not
resumin2 until there should be sub
stantial Increase in the price OF cop
per. but we doubt if this view is en-.
tireIy correct. 1t was the general
supposition that Butte would not re
sumo production until the price &C

According to reports. the oil smell

company of Chicago, has proven

cents.
Two hundred thousand shares of
stock of the Cananea Central Copper
company owned by the Cananea Con-
solidated Copper company, were sold
for $4,000, 900 cash. This transaction
returned a final profit to our company

of entirely unexplored land. OF this
amount 81 ,990.549 had been taken in
