OOiOObl 1lSe AJduuttll, ldtS ok NtSoii' ington, D. C., with E. ilulnphries snd Joseph w. Masters. associate members of the Kasser Mining and Milling Company of Globe, hriz., are in the city. The company, which is one of the largest engaged in gold mining in the state, has recently undergone reorganization, and has become pos sossed of a one-half interest in what IS known as the Great Western group of carbonate ore bearing mines, ten in number, which are located eight miles west of Globe, and of several other valuable adjacent properties, The representatives of the company now in the city are here for the purpose of having constructed, by the Colorado Iron Works, all equipment of ma chinery for the developments of it's properties
 The official list of the company ct present is: President, Colonel Lee Crandall, of Globe, Ariz.; vice presi- dent, John Kasser, of Globe, Ariz.; treasurer, Joseph ". Masters, of Brooklyn, N. r.; secretary Theodore Crandall, of Globe, Ariz.; general at torney, Noble E. Dawson, of Wash ington, D. C., and Richard D. Jackson, of New York. The officers constitute tha bpard of dlrpCtors,
 The properties owned by the com pany are situated sixty miles from the railway station of St. Thomas, which is at the extremity of 8 spur, sixty miles in length, connecting the South ern Pacific at Bowie. The claims are in the Gia valley and mountain spurs adjacent thereto, and comprise about 200 acres in extent
 Speaking of the affairs of the com pany and Of Arizona in particular, Colonel Crandail remarked Chris topher Columbus disco overed America, l discovered R. E. Humi .hries, and Humphries discovered the Great West eru group" Mir Humphries has be sn a resident of Arizona for thirty years and has prospected, assayed and de- veloped many of it's most valuable mining properties. Speaking of the mineral and agricultural resources of ] the state and of the climatic condi- ! tious he said Arizona has the rich est gold fields in America to-day, not excepting Cripple Greek. The car bonates and free ores are found from ! the east to tho west and from the north to the south boundaries of the state Last year ihc state built more | lines of railway lhan all other western states combined. It's valleys produce ! five crops of alfalfa yearly, and afford | winter grazing besides, while oul ! fruits are shipped to California and sold as famous fruits of that famous state. Peaches weighing fifteen ounces are not uncommon, while I have seen a bushel Of them weighing twelve ounces each taken from one tree
 "The climate, continued Che speak CT, is the most delightful in America After having lived in every western st4to l would not now give up ny Arizona residence for reservation ir paradise"
 Colonel Crandall thinks well enougt of Arizona to give up his Washington and Alabama properties to take up hi residence there. After brief sojourr in the east, whence he goes in a day ! CT so, he will return to Globe to re side.
 T have registered there,n said he and ayn going to ally myself witt that splendid state. l regard it as be ing the best state for young men with out capital and old men with capita to emigrate to of a5y locality il America. IL is what Michigan an, Ohio were fifty years ago"
 Colonel Crandall is well knowl throughout tho country both as edito and politician, and goes west to sprea, his doctrine, displayed upon a lape button which he wears, of "Mor
 Money, Less Misery"
 Mir Masters of the company said b
 had much to say regarding his frs
 western trip, particularly of Denver Like Julian Ralph he thought Denve
 was like city made to order for it inhabitants and not populated unti all was completed. lie had no idea c
 the advancement of the fair city a
 the foothills of the Rockies.
 ''And what strikes me the most.
 he enthusiastically remarked, 'Is tn
 general spirit of hospitality. l hay
 never core in contact with it before : and it is as delightful as your ur
 bounded wealth is amazing.n
 Speaking of his trip through Ar
 zona he said q came west a doub
 ing Thomas, but l go back believer
 or course was surprised Eo find tree
 sprouting by merely sticking limb
 into the soil, as they do the ocabilla i f Arizona, and also surprised at Sh apples of the saguaras, or giant caC
 tus. The mines, too, were a reYel; tion to me, but the hospitality of tn
 people, the freedom from petty crime and the exuberaat climate can onl be appreciated when known"
