win country is one that Jos. Mulhat- ton IS bringing to a head. On the 18th bond was executed pending cash deal by which the joint Copper King groups of thirty-one claims adjoining Kelvin on the south side of the GiIa river will be developed and made a big mine. The people interested are J. H. MacFarIane of Baltimore and associates. A New York syndicate with large amount of capital is be hind them. They will, if the proposi- ton goes through, proceed to develop the property, build switch tracks samplfng and reduction works at the confluence of the Gila and Mineral Creek. They also propose to man out a townsite. MT. Muhatton and asso- ciates own the Dagger Wells group of twenty claims located twelve miles south of Kelvin that is considered 4 big possibility. About six hundred feet of work has been done, showing up good carbonate copper ore assav ing up to $27 per cent copper and $4.OO in gold values, of which there are several carloads on the dump that will be shipped
 Final county boasts of one manu- tacturing plant, located at Kelvin. the Kelvin Ice and Cold Storage company. J. J. Coleman, proprietor. The ice plant has a capacity of two and a half
 tons per day and was constructed at a cost of about $7OOO. The product is absolutely pure and clear It is giving good satisfaction and proving a great advantage to the mining district. Ii sells at Kelvin for a cent a pound. MT. Coleman, a machinist. had never been connected with an ice plant. but with study and application. he reason ed and learned to the extent that from the start, May 23. he has been entirely successful with his production.

SAVING SHIPS BY WIRELESS.

Not long ago a large freighter be- came disabled in the gulf of Mexico says the Worlds Work. She was equipped with wireless telegraphy ap paratus; so instead of hoisting distress signals to flap idly in the old way. the captain began to send out wireless messages in all directions We are disabled and need help" he said giv- Ing the location of the ship Soon there was a sputtering among the receiving instruments of the disabled vessel Word was received from a distant yes sel that the appeal had been heard and help was coming.
 sWireless has come to the aid of the mariner to remarkable degree. Take the case of the whaleback steamer city of Everett towing a barge of oil from Sabine Bar, Texas to New York. The steel door of a forward turret was torn off by the sea, a compartment was flooded, and the ship became unman- ageable. She was then about I5O miles from Port Arthur, Texas. From the wireless chart showing the routes of the gulf vessels the captain saw that the ships Col. E. L. Drake and Mayer ick were about due at Port Arthur. He sought to locate them by wireless. The message, however, was answered by NAit CdpteiiAl r. h. LUCAS WnlCn was 5U miles distant. The Everett conmuni- cated her position, the Lucas did like wise and they kept in communication until sighted. The disabled ship was then lowed to the shelter of Ship Shoal where she was repaired.
 By means of wireless the location of derelicts, a constant menace to navf- gation, becomes known. But a far more important aid to navigation is the dis tribution of storm warnings by wire less, particularly off Cape Hatteras 'the graveyard of ships" At this point and elsewhere on the coast the De- Forest station each day sends out the weather indications from Washington. These warnings are sent into the air at random to be caught up by all ships, equipped with wireless appar- atus and relayed by them until there is a sort of continuous chain of warn ings.
 Wireless is entering largely into the plans of Arctic explorers and promises to be very necessary part of such op- erations. Heretofore the explorers in their hazardous dashes north have been cut off from communication with the world.
 Now, MT. Walter Wellman. who is to make the attempt in an airship, will take along three wireless experts with a complete DeForest outfit and es- tablish a chain of stations so as to en- able him to keep constantly in touch with f.iVfIiZatioD

THE TRUTH ABOUT "REN-HuR."

How Ben-Hu came to be written and published has been told many times. but, unfortunately, few of the prevalent tales concerning this re- markable work Jare in accordance with the facts. Recently it has been stated in a popular magazine that Ben-Hu belonged to the long list of manu- scripts which met with repeated re- lection" This is not the fact, The story was first submitted to Harper & Brothers for publication and promptly accepted. The book, moreover was a reasonable, though not a remarkable success in it's first year. The fact which surprised the publishers was that Its sales were doubled in the year follow ing. It advanced from year to year by geometrical progression until it be- came the most widely selling book in American literature. Many interest ing facts concerning the inspiration and growth of Ben-Hur are set dowT by General Wallace in his autobiog- raphy, which is one of the important forthcoming publications.-Harp Weekly.
