 Greene Cananea stock is being purchased very heavily, I understand
 by people who are connected with
 the management and their friends. Officials are quoted as declaring that the company will soon be making at the rate of 6O.OOO.0 900 pounds of cop
 par annually at a cost of 10 cents per pound. The discovery and develop
 ment of large bodies of high grade
 ore during the past year will help to
 increase the productive capacity Of its cOucentrator and shelter and will also reduce the cost per pound of it's copper.
 While the work of remodeling the company's shelter and the installa-
 tion of methods and systems for the more economical handling of it's ores have been under way for more than a year past, the coming resumption of smelling operations will reallly mark the beginning of a new era for 1 Greene Cananea. The company owns one of the largest deposits of copper | in the world. The work Of prepare ! tion for the treatment of a sufficient ! ly large tonnage of this ore to make i the company one of the largest pro 1 ducers of copper in the world will be carried forward steadily.
