Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1913-04-04

Cabral accompanied the governor TO
Nogales, returning the following day
and joining their commands which
had already left Cananea bound for
the Naeo vicinity.
The Cananea. company lost but lit
tie time in preparing to reconstruct
the destroyed bridges on the Naeo
branch, for as soon as the governor
had guaranteed protection of railroad
property and given permission for the
rebuilding OF the bridges the company
began getting a force together to
leave the following morning to com
Inence work. Over hundred men left
on the construction train Wednesday
morning for the first bridge TO be con.
stTucted
There are six bridges which have
to be reconstructed totally or repaired
and it is believed that il will be a
six-day task TO repair the damage
done. II is expected that the road win
be ready for use by Tuesday. How
ever. If Gen Ojeda still holds Naco
al that time it is improbable that he
Will allow supplies 20 be sent to Can
anea
The last train which carried sup
plies TO Cananea arrived here on Sun
day March 9Th, and since shat time
not an ounce of any material has been
received by the company. During the
time between March 9th AID March
22nd the company continued opera
tions on its accustomed scale but on
the latter date il was seen that il was
impossible TO continue operations on
that scale when it was impossible to
know just when more supplies could
be received. The company then closed
down its concentration, reyerberatories
and mines which shipped to the con.
centrator so 1t could economic in the
use of fuel oil, and at the present time
the smelter is operating with three
or four furnaces ana still further cur
tailment in the scale OF operations is
likely to follow.
There is sufficient coke on hand 70
continue operations at the smelter
for ct least another month, but the
main trouble is the scarcity of oil,
there being at present only sufficient
supply on hand to allow operations
for a few DAYS more, probably until
the 10th or 18th of this month.
The company uses oil only as fuel
to generate power and this is also
used at the pumping plant at Ojo de
Aqua for the same purpose. II there
fore can be readily seen that in the
event no supplies are brought fato
Cananea by the 10th or 18th the camp
win be forced to shut down entirely.
Charles L. Montague has been ap-
pointed United States consular agent
in Cananea for period OF three
months by Consul X Slropich. Mr.
Montague will be the temporary sue
cessor OF George A. Wiswall, who had
asked for a three-month leave OF alb
seuce. This Mr.. Wiswall desired be
cause of the fact that he had not the
sufficient time 20 devote to the du-
ties Of the position, and being unable
TO speak Spanish sufficiently fluent TO
carry on the many diplomatic confer
ences which have become recently to
he of almost daily occurrence He
therefore asked for relief in order
that the Americans and foreigners
here be given the best representation
possible. The selection of Mr.. Mon
tague as the temporary successor OF
AIr Wiswall seems to meet with the
approval Of all and he undoubtedly will
make a loyal energetic and excellent
representative OF Uncle Sam
Although conditions are still unset
tied here, quite a number Of the WON,
en- and children who left here pre-
ceeding the battle, have returned.
There are, however, still quite a num-
Der who are remaining on the other
side of the international line. Ii is be-
lieyed by those who know the exact
conditions of affairs that it is still
better if the women refrain from re-
turning until later date. Although
everything is apparently normal here
at present there still seems to be
an Undercurrent Of unrest TO be dis
tinguished.
