Cananea Gets Supply Trains.

A Cananea, Son., dlpatch says: Supplies, consi sisting of oil and coke, are now arriving in Cananea from Naco. The Cananea Consolidated Copper ompany has com pleted the repairing of burned bridges, six in number, between here and the border on Saturday. Just now the company is using a little over carload of oil daily, but this may be increased when the supply is received. The amount of oil and coke to be received will be sufficient, according to the opinions of many to allow the company to operate for another 20 or p days in fair ca, pacity, and at the end of this time it is probable that the atmosphere will be sufficiently cleared in Sonora to permit the normal operation of the company to be resumed.
 The securing of supplies is a result of conferences between officials of the company and both state and federal leaders, both factions being desirous of seeing Cananea continue in opera tion and not close down and throw thousands out of employment, prob. ably bring much distress to large nun Der of the Mexican laborers who have made no provisions for the flu. ture.
 With the bridges repaired it is matter of considerable conjecture as to whether they will be allowed to re. man intact. There are possibilities that soon after the arrival of supplies here that some of the structures will again be destroyed either by one fac tion or another. All that can be done is to await developments.
 The state is in need of funds to carry on the revolution against the Diaz- Huerta government, and is using almost every means to secure funds without being severe. On April 1st notices were sent broadcast through. out the state of cut in the salaries of all state employees effective that date. The half retained by the state is to be considered as loan to be re- pald the employees after the cause is won.
 Another notice was posted at the same time that the salary cut was an- nounced, advising all owners of min eral lands that they pay their taxes to the state instead of the federal gov ernment. The taxes were due in March for four-month period and they must be paid within elght days from date of notice or the mine own. CTS are to suffer the consequences. whatever they might be, as the pen. alty for non-payment is not mentioned in the notice.
 The state has secured l5,OOO pesos from the people of Cananea, which is in the nature of a loan, receipts hav- ing been issued for same and indi- vidual notes to later replace the re- ceipts. The loan is guaranteed by the tax of l-2 per cent imposed by the state on sales. This loan is all that the state will ask of Cananea, accord ing to the governor. Every business man in the city has paid his share in- to the fund, the individual sums vary ing from few pesos to a thousand, according to the amount of assess, ments on the tax rolls.
 Already oyer 1900 workingmen and their families have left Cananea for ether portions of the state. The men have been thrown out of employment by the partial shutdown of the con- pany here and have been transported out of the city to points on the So- nora railroad by the trains operated by the state. Passes for the people are issued by the prefect of the dis trlct and there is constantly long string of people awaiting at this office. Scores are camped about the railroad depot all the time, day and night, awaiting the arrival of trains which will carry them away. Not only men are to be seen about the station, but women and children, as they have DO other place to go.
