Summary
It is stated that Cananea is being abandoned for lack of minerals and not due to enemy Indians. People spread out through province searching for more mines, and it is impossible to protect all of them. People lack resources (money and tools) to adequately exploit mines. (J. Tapia, April, 1988)
