FINAL COUNTY MINES
Mineral Fields to Be Benefited By the
 P. Q E. Railroad.

Kelvin, now mining camp and stage station at the junction of the Glla river and Mineral creek in Pinal county. is destined to become one of the largest mining centers of the Gila river section says the Tucson Post in an extended writeup of the district. The Phoenix & Eastern railroad is building rapidly towards this camp and by fall will have trains connecting it with the out side world. Parties going to Globe take the stage at Kelvin and go over the Pinal mountains a distance of forty miles.
 Kelvin is the center Of one of the biggest mining districts of Southern Arizona. the entire country being min eralized for miles in every direction This district is in the great mineral belt that crosses Arizona from above Jerome on the north through to Risbee and Mexico. and in which are some of the richest and largest deposits of gold. silver and copper the world has ever known.
 Here is located the reduction works and offices of the Ray mine. owned by an English syndicate. who have spent several millions of dollars in opening up this big mine. A narrow guage railroad connects the mine six miles away up Mineral Creek with the works here.
 MT. Gordon, the superintendent, is anXiously awaiting the completion of the Phoenix & Eastern road SO as to give them cheaper transportation for their supplies and ores. They have

It might be said right here 70 persons investing in mining properties that there is no better section of the southwest to oper- ate in than the Kelvin district, be- cause: It is in the heart of the great mineral belt, rich prospects are expos ed everywhere and wherever shafts have been sunk to any depth or tun- HelS run enOTInOuS deposits or copper. gold and silver ores have been found in more than paying quantities as has been shown by the Ray, Troy Manhat- tan and the Globe mines. Many of the properties in this district have nothing but the discovery and assessment work done and are being held by prospectors anxiously awaiting the completion of the railroad so as to bring in capital ists and cheap transportation so as to develop them into paying mines. Here is virgin field for the shrewd specu- lator at the present time to get in be- fore the road is completed and prop critics become more valuable.

UNREVEALED,

There are some souls that widely miss The beauty of familiar things. A draught more sweet than all the
 wines
 That grace the banquet board of
 kings.
 The glories of the wood and field Are unto them volume sealed. The pageantry of shifting clouds They view with listless. languid eye; The empress-moon upon her throne, The wonders of the midnight sky, Attract them little more, 'twould seem, Than dead leaves drifting down a
 stream.
 For them. in vain the tuneful thrush Trills arias sweet as Mozart's notes. Or water-lilies ride the lake
 Like woodland fays in fairy boats; For these contribute not to bring To them one high imagining. They are denied that finer sense, The passien-power to inly feel The beauty that oerfflls the world. And all the harmonies that steal Into the soul to quell it's strife, And thrill with joy the chords of life.

OUR SNAKE EDITOR
forsets Himself and Talks on the
 outside.

If this thing happens again Judge w. H. Barnes. the efficient snake editor of The Republican, whose lucubrations for the last five years have spread his fame among those engaged in reptillan research throughout the world and have increased the circulation and the exchange list Of this paper. will be dropped from the pay roll of this paper. 1t had been understood that whatever the snake editor could devise or imagine in the way of snake story should appear first in these columns.
 It appears from the following from the Nogales Times that he has forgot ten that he is drawing a salary from The Republican:
 Judge Barnes is the authorized snake editor of the Arizona Republican and while here yesterday told the fol- lowing story. The judge said that cown in Arevechi valley on the Sahua- ipa the bull snakes grow to a very large size, that they are gentle and do- cile and are used there to sprinkle the gardens and flowers. By patience they have trained these snakes to go to work at o'clock in the morning, quit promptly at noon, return at 1 o'clock and quit work at 5 o'clock in the even ing. They go down to the we'll or wat CT as it is provided. fill themselves up with water. go back to the garden and squirt the water all over the flow CTS or the vegetables. Each snake knows his place. One will be seen wat ering the corn. another the beans and another the rose bushes It is a very interesting sight to watch them going to and from the well. An average sized snake will carry about forty-two gal Ions of water and they will irrigate a large tract of land in a day. The judge said that he had very large knowledge of an acquaintance with all members Of the snake family, but that the Arevechi bull snake was the most remarkable that he had ever met"

SILVER BELL MINE.

There are about 100 men now em- ployed at the Silver Bell mines. The work is said to be progressing very satisfactorily indeed to the manage ment and to the parties interested. There is but little prospect for the em- ployment or any great number of men for some months for the reason that development work exclusively is being done. Until that portion of the work of opening up the mines is accomplish ed the number of men employed must of necessity be restricted. A new tele- phone line from Red Rock to Silver Bell is all but completed. Within a short time the camp will have a tele- phonic communication with the outside world.
 The Red Rock-Silver Bell line is of course a private affair, but it is ru- mored about town that the Sunset Telephone company management is thinking about installing a loop ser vice from Tucson to Silver Bell direct. This would be move of distinct ad- vantage both for the camp and the old pueblo and it would undoubtedly prove big paying investment for the tele- phone compar y.-Tucson Star.

The Committee. by a vote of T to IS placed the wolcott delegates on the tenn porary roll call of the convention, and 1he convention. by unanimous vote, made the temporary roll call permanent.

NO ADVANCE IN RATES.
Roads Not Meditating Sweeping In-
 crease in Tariffs.

New York, Sept. 29.-Reports have been extensively circulated of late that con- certed movement, taking in all the large railroad systems of the country is under way to bring about an advance in freight rates on January l.
 The Eastern trunk lines. according to the reports in question, are blaming an in crease equal to about 10 per cet. When the matter was called by The Journal of Commerce to the attention of one of the best informed trunk line officers at this port he declared the report abso- lutely absurd.
 Of course there will be the usual end year cleaning up of commodity rates, rates on raw material, etc, for short dis tances to manufacturers and others.' he said, but 1t Is ridiculous to talk about any general 10 per cent advance. Three years or so ago when conditions warranted it. when materials and labor had advanced to such figures as to make railroading at the old figures a losing business. advances were made by means of classification, which ranged between and per cent, These advances were in every way justified. Today there has ceP- tainly been no further advance in mate rials, which, If anything. are a shade lower. Labor is not much higher, so that there Is no excuse for any general higher advance"
  trunk line managers are considering the adjustment of import rates and joint conference of New York-Missouri river lines has been called to meet in New York October 8. The trunk line import committee and representatives of the Gulf lines, Western Freight Association lines and Missouri lines will be present All through rates from foreign ports to Missouri River points. and points in Western territory will be discussed. . The purpose is to fix these rates on a sta bIe basis, which will prevent the through rates on imported goods being less than the same rate on home manufactured products.s An agreement has been pre- pared by the steamship lines and the rail- | roads whereby all import rates are to be based on Baltimore which will be the 1 100 per cent point. Besides these means it is expected the meeting will result in | perfecting the plan by placing the inland proportions of the through import rate | on a fixed basis to all points.
