C0N CROWLEY HAS GOOD REPORT
 IF CACTUS
BRINGS SAMPLES OF ORE TO GLOBE RUNNING HIGH IN
 GOLD AND COPPER
BRlGHT FUTURE FOR COMPANY
FOUNDER OF CROWLEY CITY WAS RESIDENT OF GLOBE UNTIL
 AUGMENTATION CAME

Con Crowley, whose arrival in this part of the country dates back some thirty-three years, arrived in the city yesterday from Crowley City, the camp of the Cactus Development company. Mir. Crowley located the Cactus claims about sixteen years ago. and the high estimate held of the property among mining men is too well known to need any setting forth. However high this estimate is, 1t is surely justified by the specimens of ore takca from several levels of the Hamilton shaft, some of which were brought to town yesterday by MT. Crowley, and are now on exhi- bitiOn at the offices of Wilson X Cash, local stock brokers.
 Assays made of specimens similar to those brought in by Mf. Crowley give returns as high as 40 per cent copper, sj ton in gold, and about one ounce of silver to the ton. These specimens were taken from the 300, 100 and 300 levels, where drifting and crosscutting are now going on. While the specimens in question arc of unusually high grade, Con Crowley, whose opinion carries considerable weight in local mining circles, makes, as a conservative esti- mate, the statement that the large ore body which the Hamilton shaft of the Cactus mine has struck will run at least l5 per cent copper, with enough gold and silver to pay for smelting and other expenses. In this case, the future of the Cactus as richly paying in- yestment for its stockholders is, be- yond question, as bright as that of any mine in or near Globe district.
 Where tapped by the Hamilton shaft, the ore vein dips away from the shaft 10 the northwest, so that drifting and crosscutting is necessary to strike the main orc body. It is hard to estimate the extent of the ore bodies, at the present stage of development, but it is certain that they are large.
 The new double-drum hoist for the Hamilton shaft is now on the ground, and will be set up within two or three weeks. Meanwhile, the work of drift ing and crosseutting is being pushed with the use of the siugle-drum hoist used heretofore. This old hoist will be moved from the Hamilton shaft to the Pinto shaft, which is now down to q depth of about forty feet. The put ting in place of these hoists will not take over two or three days with the force available, so that underground work on the mine will not be held up for any appreeiable length of time. The boilers are already in place and sta tion for the engine is being cut.
 The material for the new coneentrator is now on the field, and the eoncen- trator complete should be ready for work i'll about two weeks. W. II. Ham, ilton, mechanical engineer for the Cac tus Development company, mas gone east, and while away, he will visit diff. ferent manufacturers of mining ma chinery to get ideas for the new and modern plant which the company will eventually install.
 Con Crowley, who still holds good interest in the Cactus Development company, has unlimited confidence in the future of the mine, and he says that in all his years as 8 prospector in the southwest, he has never known better or more experienced group of officers than is now in charge of the
