NATURE FAVORS
 TOWN OF KELVIN Many Reasons why it Should be a Great Mining Camp.

Kelvin, April %. Special Core spondence of the RepubIican)-Bea fCl for situation, and the pride of Pi- nal county is Kelvin. one of the future great mining centers of Arizona. sur rounded on all sides by vast ore bed ies similar to those at Globe. Bisbee or Jerome, with Its picturesque seen cry. it's pure dry air. and it's abun- dance of good pure water Kelvin is certainly highly favored by nature for not only a mining center but also for a great commercial and manufacturing city as well as a health resort, and city of fine residences. A tide of prosperi- ty and progress is certainly flowing this way. A number of eastern capi- talists representing big syndicates. have representatives nere arranging for the consolidation of several prop critics and prospects. Quiet and mys- terious experts and mining men who do not let their left hand know wha. their right hand doeth, are here. and out in the hills in every direction, And while there may not be an earthquake here, yet all signs point out that there will be something doing in Kelvin soon. The diamond drill crowd arrived yes terday for extensive work at the Ray mines. Several big teams came in to- day from Mesa to haul ore to the rail road. where many cars are to be load ed for shipment to the Humboldt smel- ter. Messrs. Elder and Mellin are also getting several car loads of ore ready for shipment The Ray Copper Co. nave repaired their telephone system from here to the Ray mines and Till- man and Mcintyre, practical mine ex- perts have for months been samPling r,F ( Ia exist in the Ray Co.'S very extensive and valuable property. which is being brought to the front through the very efficient management of J. M. Gordon, wno has succeeded in bringing order out Of chaos and confusion.
 The new ice factory is about ready for it's first run. Judge Coleman and Billy Weeks got up steam a few days ago and found that it worked satis- factOrily and there being so many mining camps near here to supply with ice. It is predicted that the ice men owning this gigantic monopoly will be- come millionaires in the course if time even as the ice men and plumbers iE the days of old.
 Kelvin is a social place as well as a beautiful place There is quite charmed circle here, consisting Of postmaster Beebe and his cultured family. Geo. French and family Dr. Ed. Devine, Mir. Marquis and family and MT and Mrs. Gordon. and Mrs Fannie Price, a nice. kind and benev- olent middle aged lady, who conducts the Sabbath school and engages in good works in general like DOrcas Of bible fame. Then there are MT. and Mrs. Geo. Emmett and their talented family of musicians composing the Emmett orchestra. Miss Ellen Elm nett Miss Maggie and Miss Marion Emmett. Then there are Judge Cole man and family, and others too num- erOus to mention that will compose the future 400, upper-ten circle of Kelvin. Judge M. Hickey maintains the best of order, assisted only by Constable Jack Davis. The town is very orderly but few arrests being made and it look as if those wlo have heretofoIe been tough ciizens are now on the heavenly path, seeking to eventually enter the pearly gates of the new ter Usalem So mote it be.
 Manager Geo. Chittenden at the Christmas Copper camp, reports great activity there and everything a grand success, over 300 men being now em- ployed and several cars of copper matte being shipped in every week.
