KELVIN, Ariz., August

] CISHB 1cAA 1FOm tuc hchfCHS anu scattered thousand cross-cut saws through the streets of Kelvin it could scarcely have created more surprise than the return of MT. Foley, the big man of the company store, few days ago. He has evidently been eating ''pate de foi gras" and making love to French widows away down by the sad sea waves during his three weeks vacation; at any rate he returns very 'embonpoint" and almost as good looking, genial and intelligent as Superintendent Truman of the Ray company, who is making many need fnl changes at present. Speaking of the Trumans reminds me of the fact that Arizona is getting quite colony of them, from mining expert Truman, who is associated with the writer in Dagger we'll properties, on down to Superintendent Truman of the Ray company and George and Bill Truman and the miniature Trumans of both brothers. Truly the Truman star of destiny is now in the ascendeney.
 The steam machinery now being put in to help out the gasoline engines will be in operation about the 18th, and if the power is adequate, perman- ent operations will be resumed at once. It is reported that another large and rich ore body has been encountered in the Ray mine and that number of new contracts have been let. The capacity of the present mill will be doubled in a new mill to be erected near the present one. With the advent of the autumn days, with the foliage of the cottonwood trees turned to crimson and gold, there will be some wonderful changes here. Long before this time next year it will be entirely possible to leave either Kelvin or Piety Flat in Pullman palace car for Florence, New York or Boston.
 This is the undoubted center of one of Arizona's great sulphide deposits, running in gold, silver and copper, especially copper. Similar indeed to the great deposits near Jerome, Bisbee or Clifton, only this seems to be the most extensive of all of them, extending as it does for radius of many miles in all directions, and such vast bodies of it, it is almost beyond comprehension.
 The cash tills in Jim Elders saloon and another place of business were robbed of small amounts of cash few days ago during temporary absence Of the proprietors.
 Aside from this and few customary inebriated individuals there is no startling or sensational news of any importance. Society news is also scarce, as the gay season has not set in yet. Many of the most prominent families are spending the heated term at Florence, Phoenix, Yuma, Santa Monica and other delightful summer resorts and will not return before October.
 Mir. and Mrs. Lemon and their in- tellectual and m usical brood of little ones occupy White Wings cottage near the shores of the tempestuous Gila.
 MT. and Mrs. Hockett are getting better looking every day and are hold. ing the fort bravely against all odds.
 Little Ruth Hockett is taking ln usic lessons from Miss Mabel Burgess, the beautiful and talented young lady from Indiana. Ruth is going to be a great actress one of these days. She is waiting for Anna Ruth Bark CT to come back from California so that they ca D have rehearsals together.
 Mir. and Mrs. Jesse Brown and family are quite an addition to Kelvin society circles.
 Mrs. Hutchins is succeeding admir-. ably in the new line of work she has laid out for herself, ably assisted by MT. Hutchins, her worthy consort in the journey of life.
 Messrs. Bird and Fox are wide awake, so is Mr. Eberline, and will put things through all right in their respective depar tments if ability and perseverance cut any ice in the matter.
 Bill Zent has got back safe and sound with his interesting family. Will write more about Bill in my next letter, also about the wireless tele- graph between Kelvin and Florence via Piety Flat.
 Truthfully yours,
 Jos. MULHATToN.
