 Development

A Star churn drill is expected to ar rive within the next few days for use at the Cactus property, located on Pin to Creek, sixteen miles southwest of Globe. The first work for which the drill is intended will be that of ascer- tanning the extent of the mineralized schist body. which will enable the man agement to select a location for third working shaft on the Cactus property.
 The development work on the third, fourth and fifth levels of the Hamilton shaft has shown uniform copper con tent throughout the mineralized area, and the Calumet and Globe shaft locat- ed on the adjoining property on the west, developed mineralized schist at a depth of 275 feet, assaying about two per cent copper. The encOuntering of high grade carbonate ore in the Pinto shaft, located on the Pinto property adjoining the Cactus on the northwest, is a favorable indication of the eXten- sion of an ore body in that direction, and the underground level work south of the Hamilton shaft shows the copper value to be continuous in the southern portion of the altered schist area The eapping of dacite in the vicinity of the Pinto and Calumet and Globe shafts gives promise of an extension of the mineralized schist in these directions of considerably greater extent than is evident from the surface indications,
 The drifts being driven from the Hamilton to the Pinto shaft will enable the management to prosecute the ex- ploratOry work much more eXpeditiously than is possible under present condi- tions, and will thus insure a rapid ex- tension of the mine workings beyond the present limits and thorough ex- ploration of the area which, as yet, is unknown with respect to its mineral value. The territory east of the pres ent workings will Nalso undoubtedly show considerable extent of the min eraiized area, as the altered schist eX- tends for distance of several hundred feet in this direction and shows some mineIalization at the surface.
 With the installation of a new hoist at the Pinto shaft, it will be possible to hoist easily all the ground broken in the various drifts, thus permitting the development to progress at the rate of about 4,000 feet every month. How ever, pending the further development of the Pinto property, two compart- ments of the Hamilton will be utilized in the hoisting of the material from the seventeen working faces already in readiness for advancement.
 With the present force employed, it is the expectation of the management that the Hamilton and Pinto shafts will be connected by drifts at the third and fourth levels, within the next thirty days, as there remains less than l5O feet of advance yet to be made . at the third level to complete this inn portant connection. A slightly greater distance will be required to connect these shafts on the fourth level, as the drift at this level is not being driven directly toward the Pinto. on account of an attempt to avoid some loose ground encountered by the drift. For this pur- pose, deviation 200 feet southward was made necessary.
