In an interview given while in the lefty breifly yesterday, James Doug las, general manager of Greene Cam anea said that the fires had been drawn in Cananea, the mines closed, the company store closed and all oth- CT steps taken in association with a shut down for an indefinite period.
 The only activity remaining in the camp is at the Capote mine, where the pumps are being kept going This will be continued in operation, simply in protection of the mining area which they serve in clearing the compara- lively small amount of water which they have to handle at Cananea.

Douglas that the management has determined that 1t has suffered an tthe inconvenience and expense as- sociated with shutting down and start | ing up its plants by reason of the un- | certain situation in Sonora that it intends to carry and that the present close down will be maintained until !

 With regard to the present close down, Mir Douglas agreed with eastern market opinion that the company could close at the present time, as able to do throughout the last year and more, without suffering loss by reason of idleness. Stockholders will
