THE STRAIGHT OF 1T
AS Told by Two of the
Prominent American
Mining Men in the
Recent Conference
With General
Gales

"The Oasis" Is informed
by two of the American
mining operators who par.
ticipated in the conference
Thursday between repre-
sentatives of the leading
mining companies in Sonora
and General Gales with
Acting Governor Soriano,
that the meeting was ar
ranged in accordance with
an understanding reached
some time ago that such
conferences will be held
from time to time for gen
eral discussion of matters
of mutual interest.
Absolutely there was no
controversy between the re.
presentatives of the mining
companies and those of the
government of the State of
Sonora, nor was such a
thing limited at. The re-
ports to that effect in some
of the local papers are err
roneous and misleading.
1t is by authority of
Messrs. T. Evans and
George Young, general su-
perintendent and secretary
respectively Of the Cananea
Consolidated Copper Com
pany that this statement is
made.
