the other great copper districts can show

it is easily realized why Samuel New
house, president of the Newhouse Mines
and Smelters corporation, is delighted
with the present physical condition of
the Cactus property in Beaver county.
Mr.. Newhouse returned carly Friday
morning from n two days visit TO the
mine, and when seen by the Tribune
yesterday. he was more than gratifed
at the way the ore bodies are rewardlng
the efforts of the management.
Mr., Newhouse states that the ore
body on the lower level, or the sixth
level. is $50 feet wide. generous por-

averaging over 20 per cent red metal TO
the ton Such figures tell An astonish-
ing tale. The Newhouse mine has a
greater width of 90 per cent copper
ore upon the sixth level, than the Calu-
met and Hecla mine has of one and a
half per cent copper ore. Then the
Newhouse management is able to make
the fine showing that is now being
registered for the simple reason that
a great fortune was spent by Samuel
Newhouse in placing the property into
proper shape from the start IL took
courage, and IL took money, bur it was
done. The company started off right.
and ii has been going right ever since.
The only mistake the company made at
tho start was the erection of concen-
trating plant of TOO limited capacity,
But this is a mistake IN the correction
of which there is satisfac tion bor-
dcring upon delight.
When asked for his Impressions of
the noted Newhouse or Cactus property,
Mr.. Newhouse said:
II would rather let the results speak
for themselves, but ! will say that the
mine is bigger and finer than ever. One
must see the ore bodies TO appreciate
them. On the sixth level the ore body
has been shown to be 250 feet in width
all Of this is excellent pay ore. TO say
nothing of that portion which Will run
from 81 TO 25 per cent copper. This
particular part of the vein is wide, and
developments are showing il to be more
extensive as work proceeds.
The new shaft which is to 90 thou
sand feet deeper than the present
depths is well under way from the tuD
mel or sixth level. Within a year
expect this greater depth TO be attain
ed. Some time ago the drills pene-
trated practically 500 feet of this dis.
tance 10 deeper levels, establishing a
very fine grade of ore, and from the con
ditions existing upon the sixth level.
showing such great quantities of almost
solid metal, there is every reason TO
believe that similar, if not increa sed
amounts, of high class resources will he
found at lower levels. Geologically, all
conditions now point TO such results
Whatever opinion may prevail else
where regarding the Cactus property. il

the estimation Of the men employed by
