 cANANEA CAMP
 To one who has not recently seen the plant at Cananea the changes and improvements that have been made and are now fully completed are surprising as well as interesting. as was found by the representative of the International, who visited that great copper camp this week. There, under the dire ton of pr. L. D. Ricketts, there has grown up one of the greatest, best and most modern equipment copper producting plants in the world. Modern methods. modern machinery, labor and time-saving devices have tended to bring the cos. of production down to the minimum. In Cananea it is now possible. even at the low price of copper, to produce at a handsome profit.
 On Thursday of this week an h. ternational representative went to Cananea and spent the afternoon of that day and Friday morning looking over the plants of the Can anea company and noting the changes that had occurred there. as well as in the city generally since former visit. pr. Ricketts himself accompanied him on a large part of his examination of the plant, while Willis Wilkey took him about the town, pointing out i'm provements made recently and oh CTS planned fer the near future.
 Has Great Plant.
 The new plant at Cananea Is now complete in all respects and Is in every way modern. Here there are eight blast furnaces each with e capacity of $50 tons, two reverber- atories and ten McDougal roasters. ] Some may have thought, as did the representative of the International. that some of the old machinery and equipment had been used in the re modelling of this immense plant, but such is not the case, for all new machinery was installed. One cannot go through the works with out being impressed with the i'm mensity of it all and the novel fea- lures that are to be seen on every hand and the completeness of the whole equipment.
 Handles Ore Easily.
 One feature that is particularly interesting is the handling of the ore. This is brought from the mines to the reduction works di- rect in ore cars from which it is dumped upon a travelling belt to be carried up and dropped upon a second travelling belt, where it is mixed and undergoes what Is known as the bedding process. Having undergone this process while being conveyed upward it reaches hop pers over the furnaces into which it is dumped and so transferred into the furnaces as required.
 The output of last month, includ. ing the Miami concentrates amounted to 5.4O0,0OO pounds oi copper. There are now in the em. ploy of the company 35OO men.
 cananea Clean Camp.
 The representative of the Inter. national was taken all through the city by Willis Wilkey, who drove him to all points of interest. MT WiIkey is now conducting a large dairy at Cananea, where he has 90 cows. He is furnishing about 200 gallons of milk a day, besides the output of butter which he is mar. keting.
 Il Cananea has been much improved ! in appearance and one cannot but , notice it's cleanliness and appar 'f euLly S6ulldfy COnuAllOu. ctFSSl work has been done and some streets have been cut through rock to make better connections. The town. which is said now to have a population of 15.O0O. appears to be prosperous with business progress ] ing satisfactorily.
 The Sonora hotel has recently been acquired by Gustavo Doehr who conducts the Alameda at Quay mas, and is being renovated and modernized, to make it an up-to date hostelry.
 Altogether Cananea seems to be as successful a camp as one can desire to visit with prosperity dis. tinctly visible on all sides.
