Less interest in the probable move
ments of OroZco and his fleeing army
Is to be found in Cananea than on
this side of the line The possibility
OF a visit from the chihuahua rebels
is casually discussed but that such
a visit could be of any importance
does not seem 20 be considered
There is not TO be found any rebel
sentiment worth mentioning among
any classes and among the Ameri-
cans the course which Orozco will
pursue awakens only mild comment.
u is not considered important who is
in control for the Americans are con-
fident that in any event they will
not be disturbed This is the COM
ment that secretary Gray of the Com
mercial club made on the return from
a visit to the big Mexican Copper
camp where he spent the first part
of the week.
There is a deep interest in the
affairs OF Mexico which is not APP
parent or the surface but is never
theless ielt by all who have mining
interests in any part OF the southern
republic, was the observation of MIR.
Gray. but outside of these there were
few expressions on the subject OBJ
tainable. Those who have undeyelop-
ed mining property in which they
wish to interest others naturally de-
plore the unsettled conditions. Those
who wish TO continue development of
production in outlying properties are
also disturbed. but the rank and file
in Cananea have no fears of any reb-
eI attack.
IF Orozcos men come, all right
II they do not come, equally all
right" Meantime Cananea is going
on about its business. There is more
building now going on there than at
any time since 1908. A new business
block three stores is now under con-
struction on the main business street.
adjoining are three new frame stores.
all occupied, and in other sections
building is going on. Vacant houses
are fewer than tor several years past
All are looking for enlarged output
frCm the mines and consequent in
creased population. II outside pro-
perties could be started up Cananea
would be booming.
Secretary Gray stated that he eX-
pected TO find some unsettled coudi-
tons some feeling of uncertainty but
that he did not find them. On the
contrary all was quiet in a political
sense and there was the expecta-
ton that MaderO would soon have
his troubles settled. There were
some who believed that some Of
Orozco's forces might visit the camp
in search Of loot while others main
tanned that il OrOZcos statement OF
intention TO take GIaymas was truth
iul the force would proceed down
the Bavispe or the MocteZuma river
TO Tonichi and then 90 by train. Ey-
erywhere was the sentiment that
American interests would not be dis
turbed
In addition TO the building and gen
eral air OF improving business there
are to be observed in Cananea other
signs Of prosperity. This is especial. |
~ notable in the record that has been
made by the Cananea club. That Of
Ganization had a debt OF $4,000 a
year ago and now has a surplus OF
$4,000. Mexican money II is easily
the chief social institution for the
American population and there is
not 20 be found in the southwest
more attractive place than is this
club. As one OF the members stated. I

that we want and if we can think Of /
anything else we want, why we'll gec
