Kelvin, May S.--'Five Little Maids From School were the principal fig ures in a very select picnic that took place at Joe Sherlock's very romantic camp at a big. beautiful spring away up in the mountains, about five miles from Kelvin yesterday. Joe Sherlock is good looking, grizzly, jolly old time prospector and owner of a big mining property up there. and the picnic yesterday was quite an epOcn in the desert of his lonely life. The names of his jolly little guests are: Misses Ellen. Maggie and Marion Elm melt, members of the Emmett orches- tra,-. and also Misses Mandy Saunders and Venola Marquis.
 l. Kelvin is certainly coming to the Front in social affairs as we'll as min ing matters.
 Quite a number of men have been put to work near the Ray mines since my last report from here and large quantities of ore are beink hauled from tnere for shipment to the Hum boldt shelter. A rich strike has recent iy been made on the Christmas Gift Group of claims. owned by Geo. Elm melt. about two miles north of KeI- win on Mineral creek. It is free mill
 
 a high as S1OOO to the ton.
 Day by day the interest in mining matters here increases as will be seen by the list of recent arrivals of min ing men at the Swastika hotel. viz: James Pollard and Prof Wm. Foster of San Francisco. Prof. J. H. AL ward. Chicago. w. B. TwitchelI and w J. Dunham. Kansas City, Pete Shill- ing, Tucson. Prof. John Frederick oe Calumet & Hecla O.. Michigan. J. A. Hickey, Butte. Montana, Geo. w. Rose.

 MT. Dunnam has a big force of mes at work on his patented claims up near the Ray mines.
 MT. and Mrs. WesterfeIt, associated with the management of the Ray mines. arrived last night and are guests of MT. and Mrs. Gordon and Mrs. Price at the Staff house. MT. Westerfelt is the New York manager of the Ray Copper Co, and in con- nection with MT. Gordon. the local manager here. is going to bring the Ray company again to the front, as by recent work done by practical ex- pert miners, great bodies of rich ore nave been blocked out, It is TumOr- ed here very authenticalIy that an op- tion has been taken on the property by a big syndicate in the east, whom MT. Foster is here representing. It is also rumored here that a. cash of fer for one million dollars has been refused for the property.
 Baltimore and New York capitalists have taken options on numerous val uable properties and prospects near here and there is a general feeling Of confidence in the sound and stabil- ity of all the surrounding mining amps. with Kelvin as the grand cen traI city of it all The Troy company is being reorganized and will soon en- large its force. Manager Cutting is now in the east perfecting arrange ments to that end. 4 new strike, rich in lead and gold, was made few days ago near the Dagger well, twelve miles south of here. Thus, day by day encouraging news comes in. all of which indicates a great future for this great mining region, now brought so near to Phoenix by its eastern railroad There is a camp of Apache Indians on a picturesque eminence opposite Kel win that soon is destined to be covered with smelters and concentrators, all ready planned by an eastern syndicate.
