 Rich Profit Under Economic Mining

drainage areas and the headwaters of ! the San Pedro and the Sonora rivers, ithe former running north into Arizona and the latter south and into the Gulf ! of California.
 Convenience of Location. l Cananea is the largest city of North ern Sonora and the most important city of the state SO far as payroll and resources go U is reached from ! Naco by a branch of the Southern Pa cifc of Mexico and from Nogales by Ianother branch of the same system. IThe two roads meet at Del Rio. about |9 miles north of Cananea To Naco is about 40 miles and there connection is made with the El Paso & South western railway Nogales is S6 miles from Cauanea and there connection is made with the main line of the Southern Pacific of Mexico and with the Tucson and Benson branches of |the Southern Pacific i'm Arizona. Its Transportation facilities are Of the best
 The mineralized zone of the Greene . Cauanea company lay to the south of Puerticito Pass near the center of the mountain range This district was certainly worked by the Spaniards as early as 1869 and perhaps still earlier by the Azteos. Col W. Greene had prospected and explored it for nearly a quarter of a century before he in- corporated the company that was to |Ta4r,,Tgr, Hs A make it biz dividend payer. In it's Imneralized belt there Is a diversity and variation in formation that has Iproved a puzzle to many geologists. This never disturbed Col Greene, how
 ever. and he never lost confidence that 1t would prove to be a property ,tha. would become one Of the great
 est producers His confidence has since been well warranted by develop ments that have occurred.
 The ores are found in great abund- ance, but they are of low grade and for the most part refractory, neccesi- tating the most economical methods of mining and reduction

 development has added stiu others. Underlying the rich ore bodies werG
 found bodies of lower grade and stil deeper some of the best bodies known in the district have been encountered.
 The Cubre Grande was the original mine of Greene Consolidated and its
 ore is of concentrating grades
 Capote has the deepest workings.

 Recent Production. : There have been occasions when disturbed conditions in Mexico have , SO seriously interrered with railroad transportation and the importation of

 has been the policy of all the warning factions in Sonora Co hamper mining - operations at Cananea as li;tle as pos b sble Generally they have done every ' thing in their power to aid the man ? agemeut in continuance of operations.
