CREENE-CAN AT
NEW HIGH FOR
issue AT l6O4

Another bust of buying Greene
Cananea shares on the New York
stock exchange yesterday sent the
price to 16014, a new high for all time
en- the stock and nearly 500 share
higher than the same stock sold just
100 days before. Even after the high
peg was fixed there was but little re-
cession, the stock closing at 159ss.
Looking over the stock sheet for the
prices at which Greene-Cananea has
sold since September 3, last, it appears
that there has been steady climb
recorded with a larger momentum de-
veloping since November 3 when the
shares went at 83. It had sold up to
331a on October 3, SO that the buyer
who took on that issue on October
would now have about doubled his
money and with a handsome prospect
that he will more than double it with
in the next few days. 1t is not re-
garded, however, by persons who fol-
low stock market trend as o purchase
new. 1t has come to a position where
it seems to be a squeeze pay among
the long and the short interests with
q sizeable short to worry over which
way the price wind blows.
The pyrotechincs of Greene Can
anea, however, did not have sympathy
in the other copper issues. Kennecott
and Anaconda both held within frac-
tions of their opening and each closed
slightly under the high SALE,
Copper metal was reported firm at
II 20 141sc which is an eight cent off
the high of last week.
Stocks generally were steady to a
point to two higher than the closing

MILLIONS PASS
LOCAL PORT IN
COURSE OF YEAR

Carefully compiled figures taken
from the reports of the United States
customs, immigration and horticultural
inspection services at the port of Doug
las show that approximately four mil
lion pe1Gorls pass through the little
gate which separates Douglas from
Aqua Prieta in one year The reports
indicate the number is increasing
steadily.
A startling set of figures on the
amount Of traffic created by the urge
toward sightseeing and holiday max
ing during the mon h of December
just passed shows that while the aver
age number Of cars passing through
the port for the ordinary month is be-
tween 1900 and 1900 day going one
way, or 5000 to 1900 for each month,
normal traffic
Figuring that there are an average
Of three persons in each car his holi-
day traffic amounts to 100000 to IT,
600 persons who crossed the port in
one direction during December in cars.
No accurate estimate of the number
making the trip on foot or those who
pass through on trains could be Sc

would undoubtedly run the total for
the month over 10000 persons.
The reports made by the customs
service to the treasury department are
made by actual count of the cars taken
several times each month so that the
figures of 1900 cars day are accurate
to within very few cars. Again fig
uring three persons to car and
doubling The first figure, as it is esti-
mated that nearly all of the cars come
back through the gate, the total for a
year, of persons passing through the
port both ways in cars is approximate
ly 3,5OO,OOO.
Again adding in the unknown
quantity of those who walk across and
those who ride across on trains the
figure of more than 100000 is well
within the maximum estimates.
The figures for the month of DE
cember show only those cars which
crossed between the hours of 7:30 a. m.
and p. M, and as the holiday crowds
made the greater portion of their trips
at later hour, it may readily be seen
that this total is far under the actual
figure.

This gentleman misunderstands his

If what he tells us were true, or

tell us that Mcmillan was placed in

May l ask, why should we bother
about voting at all if our choice is
always made and delivered to US by
