CONDITIONS
At CANANEA
George Kingdom, Superintendent
of Big Property, Says COndi-
tiOnS Are Not Nearly so Bad as
Have Been Painted.
REPORTS OF LOOTlNG
SAID TO BE MISTAKE
Company Is Looking Forward to
a Resumption of Operations;
Some Men Now Working on
the Surface Operations.

George Kingdom. Superintendent Of
the Greene Cananea Copper Company
arrived in Bisbee yesterday from ,he
company's property in Sonora, and
in the afternoon was i'm communic7-
ton by telephone with F. d. Hamil-
ton secretary of the company
Mr. Hamilton told me-" said Mr..
Kingdom. that conditions were most
reassuring. Reports that looting had
taken place or that there is any rea-
sonable likelihood of looting. are en-
tirely erroneous. It is true that there
is no railroad communication between
Naco and Cananea or Nogales and
Cananea. and the camp is at present
shut down. But there is no reason TO
anticipate that the camp is likely to
suffer any material loss or that per
sons there will be molested as the
Mexican officials have expressed the
most friendly feeling toward the Of
ficers Of the company and the Ameri-
can employees.
THE company is looking forward
confidently to the resumption of oper-
atiOns as soon as conditions permit
We are working 400 men at Puerteci-
tos, which is at the upper end of the
camp and about eight miles out of
Cananea proper. This is all outside
work which requires no fuel or power.
We are also working about 100 men
on the surface around Cananea, on
outside leasing propositions which re-
quire no fuel or power
We have al present employed in
the several departments of the com
pany in Cananea proper. twenty Ann
orleans who are absolutely necessary
for the welfare Of the camp even
though it is shut down. i'm order that
we may keep the lights burning for
the city the pumps going TO supply
water for the town. and the stores
open in the several camps TO provide
the necessities OF life"
