ANOTHER BISBEE IN KEVLIN
 CAMP
Two Officers of Company As sci That in Few Years ii Will Equal the Leading Cop per Camp.

PHOENIX, Aug. 27.-W. E. Sharpe, president of the Kelvin-Calumet Cop per company, and Thomas Smith, stoekholder in the same. returned yesterday from a trip to the Ray and Kelvin country and We're very enthu- siastic about the prospects of that mining section. The company is plan ming to increase the capacity of the plant at the mine in the fall.
 NIT. smith said that the outlook was never better. and in less than five years he believed that the camp would be a second Bisbee. The amount talk en out in eight months from the Calu- met claim, the remaining half inter est of which was few days ago pur- chased by, the company, was over s12o,000 in good shipping ore.
 President Sharpe sa1d that he was astonished at tho progress of the camp since his last visit in March. Mir. Twitchell had written him num- Der of times in Philadelphia that he would hardly know the place when he saw it again But nothwithstandins this," said MT. Sharpe, q was not pre- pared to see the wonderful changes that had taken place in the district. I found houses going up all over the townsite, adobe and frame, new stores. barber shops. restaurants, and signs everywhere of great activity even at the midsummer season when everything is expected to be dull if at any time.
 "Yes, I believe 1t is a coming Bis bee and few years will serve to dem onstrate that fact. All engineers who have gone into the section pronounce it to be wonderful in the quantities Of ore bodies, some of very good grade. If such bodies were opened up in the older and better advertised camps, that fact would be heralded to the mining and scientific world, but as it is in district that has once been giy- en a black eye, temporarily by mis- management in some companies 1t does not attract such notice. But people are beginning to awaken to the fact that Phoenix has big camp be- ing opened up nearby and that it's fil- ture is nav assured. The exploration stage has passed, we now know what we have and are willing to put in more money in better equipped plants"
 MT. Sharpe further enumerated the work that had been done on the prop erty of the Kelvin-Calumet. On the MadaIine shaft in a few days the 300 foot level will be reached and anoth- CT station will be established and drifting begun. At the 200 foot level a station has already been made and about 1400 feet of drifts and laterals have been run in all directions from the main shaft, and all in ore. One tunnel is being run north to the first shaft sunk, the Globe. Mir. Sharpe is the authority for the statement that in this lateral some tine speci mems of native copper have been found. He has expressed about G pounds of this east and is taking along in his grip some fine specimens of the native copper which he picked off the walls of the lateral.
 f'The thing which want to i'm press" said Mir Sharpe, ifs the mag nitude of the bodies of copper art we have in sight When we say tha all the tunnels are in ore, ore above and ore below, people sometime: laugh at us, but it is there and minins men have seen it for themselves auC are greatly astonished. And we have demonstrated that it can be mined tC good profit with capable manage ment and proper economy. We hay' two plants, one of the Kelvin Reduc ton company with a roller mill witt a capacity of G5 tons day and thu stamp n.;Il of the Big Lead or Kelvin Calumet-all three companies now be ing in ore, as you will remember When the board of directors mee upon my return, orders will be giyel to increase the stamp mill from it
