Mckinley avenue in Kendall pre-.
sents lively scene these days. From
end to end graders and carpenters
are at work. and the rush has not yet
commenced. II looks now as though
a building boom had started, and
which is likely to continue all sum-
mer. Kendall is but a year old, yet
il is the brightest and snappiest camp
in the state. The people on the out
side are waking up to the fact that
here is the making OF the best camp
in the west. The big mines are here,
and il is going to require an immense
number of men to operate them.
These great mining properties will in
time be worked on large scale. To
make the low grade ore pay satisfac-
tory dividends there must be large
milling facilities. and this condition
will come about at an early date. II
is gratifying to state that machinery
for a third mill will be on the ground
in ninety days. A fourth mill Is
among the probabilities of the COM
ing summer. Things are evidently
coming Kendall's way.
