'CAN' CONSOLIDATE
 COPPER COMPANY
 TO START FURNACES
Arrangements Are Made With Warning Faction That Insure Steady Work al the Big Cop per Camp.

Professor l.. D. Rickets, president of the Cananea Copper Company, left yesterday afternoon by auto for Can. anea where he goes to witness the starting of the furnaces of that compa- n.y. which have been c;osec down for over ten months on account of the trouble in Sonora. It is stated now that arrangements have been made with both factions to allow the start- ing up of the mines and which will lead to the employment of a large number of men.
 For a number of days the old em- ployes of the company who remained in this section of the country, togeth- CT with department heads, have been quietly gathering in the camp. It is understood that everything is in readi- ness for the commencement of opera tions today in both mines and smelt- CTS, the mining forces having been engaged for some time in getting to- gether an ore reserve for the mill and shelter
 The reopening of Cananea, if opera. tions are conducted on anything like the scale rumor foretells. will mean that thousands will directly benefit as the result of the money put in cir culation for labor and supplies, while Cananea will once again resume her wonted prosperity as a business cen ter
 Stock Is Climbing.
 Either the investors of the country know something about the Cananea Consolidated Copper companys plans or the stock market has gone crazy Even though the property has been idle for months and, as nearly as can be found out officials have no an nouncements to make relative to the time for the proposed reopening of the mines. concentrator and shelter for operation, the market quotation on the stock yesterday morning was around $42 the higest point in long time while for several days it has lowered between $40 and S41
 Coupled with the condition of the stock market is the active shipment of coke to the Cananea plant through Nogales, during the last few weeks Thousands of tons of this material which can be used for nothing except to operate the furnaces in the smelt- CT have been passed over the border
 Shipments of oil and timber have also been heavy but this is applicable on the ground that the company man. agement feels the danger Of sever ance of communication with coke ship ments this can mean but one thing the company is preparing to open it's smelters on a moments notice
 The amount of coke taken in. it is understood, will give the company a large reserve stock in case of the railroad being kept open, while if the road should again be out. the four Cc smelter could operate for many weeks regardless of transportation conditions.
 Coupled with these facts is the presence in Cananea of the various heads of operating divisions. ready to take mp their work at any time. ItI is understood locally that the mines, which have gradually increased their force until several hundred are em- ployed have been thoroughly repaired while the pumps have operated stead fly, keeping down the water flow. The shift can start work at any time on ore extraction, it is stated
 The annual statement of the com pany issued a short time since, placed the company's losses through forced inaction during the present boom cop per market at not less than a million dollars To stop such leak in the company's coffer and to turn a loss into a net gain, 1t is felt certain that Greene-Cananea officials will make every effort to begin operating at the earliest possible time.
