PHOENIX. June ia party of
mining men yesterday returned from
a trip through the Kelvin district and
brought back favorable reports on the.
situation there. IL was stated by one
of the members Of the party, that the
Eagle mountain copper mines on the.
South bank OF the ella tiyer. opposite

sents millionaire capitalists in Wis

This is one OF the promising copper
mines OF the Kelvin district and with
good management and small outlay of
capital can be made a paying, invest
ment The property contains n
claims. George Blaekman and wife

]. Jay Sullivan of Kelvin and phee-
nix has lately bought the llenlO0
group. containing gold. silver and cuP
per and consisting of 20 claims This
property adjoins the Troy Manhattan
Copper conipany's property and mas
served as the backbone OF that eo''r
pany for years. A force OF men are
now employed on this property done
development work which consists Of
a cross cut tunnel tapping the "Ro

feet This tunnel will be about 200
feet in length and is being run On

On the Eagle Eye belonging TO Mr..
Sullivan there is about 2300 feet of
development work, consisting OF
cross-cuts, tunnels and shafts aud all
of which show good high grade ores.
This is principally tunnel PROPOSE

run the smelter, as it has one of the
largest exposed bodies of ore cary

Many believe this will make an
other Bisbee and Ermaa station ar
other Douglas. Erman station is but
seven miles from tais and other good
propositions at and near Troy. with
