Kelvin after a three months prosper
 ity trip through Nevada. Harrington
 was not particularly impressed with
 the mineral wealth there and stated
 that he would not give the poorest prospect in this vicinity for the best prospect he saw in Nevada. He has been m this section a long time and should know what he is talking about.
 Mir. Herrington's claims are located on the west side of Mineral Creek. be tween Kelvin and Ray.
 The Big Minerof Niemen x Elders | is still turning out good ore.
 Plans are under way for the Big Lead Co, w. B. Twitchell, superin- tendent, to resume work in about 30 days. Mir. Twitchell reports that ev- erything is going along fine. the funds l necessary for a 500 ton concentrator
 are in bank and that things will be moving very soon. MT. Twitchell de-
 serves great praise for his strenuous efforts in bringing this around and a great future for his Ray property is 1 predicted.
 The Riverside district is one of the greatest mineral localities in the world and the way properties have been selling in this locality lately proves that it is going to be a thriving place soon. This is a great field for | investors looking for something good and the men on the ground floor will i be well repaid in a short time. The Ray Copper company are gaing steadily on with the diamond drilling of thair thaN- 1 have planned to have several more | drills working in August or September. l They are daily striking good ore and | from all indications are going to re-
 sume work this fall. The mines and
 mill will both be working. Philip Wiseman will be the general manager and MT. ArnOtt will be in charge of | the offices at Kelvin. Mir. Arnott has | made many friends in his brief stay | here and is universally liked.
 J. Shoemaker one of the principal | owners in the Copper King group Of claims recently sold to eastern capi- talists, feels quite happy these days. | Mr Shoemaker has camped on and worked his property the last twelve years. Several times he has come near making a deal, but something always 1 happened which turned the sale, usu- ally the case in d big mining deal | like his. MT. Shoemaker is to be con graduated, as he has secured a good price and he surely deserves it as he has stuck to his property through thick and thin. He had many hard ships to go through but knowing the
 value of his property. he stuck to it and won out. This should serve as a lesson to prospectors. that it pays to stick and Kelvin locality is the ground to hold on to. Ed Worthington, new superintendent
 of the Sultana Arizona Copper com pany has returned from a few days visit to Phoenix and reports that movement is on foot to establish a large power plant at Erman Station. The TilIman Gordon lead claims six miles above Ray are turning out fine
 and should some day prove very val uable
 Another very promising group of claims is the Esperanza Vanadium
 chain, located on Troy road two miles from Erman station. These claims car ry a large per cent of high grade van duluHl anu were SOuSHl dllti previous to the panic. Several parties have examined the property and stat ed that they were very rich. The in terested parties in the Esperanza group are Drs. Plath and Foss and P. Mohn and ]. Jay Sullivan all of Phoe- | nix.
 There is some talk of running a railroad up Dripping Spring wash to the head of Mineral Creek If this is an assured fact it will surely open a great mineral country as it will pass through a great mineral belt. Among those who have property along the proposed route are J. Cavanaugh and
 Clarke. who have lead, gold and silver claims. the Cow Boy property and nu- merous other valuable claims. From
