claims In Dripping Springs range of mountains, seven miles from Kelvin. has been spending the last few days in Phoenix in the interest of his property.
 J. Jay Sullivan has been out in the hills the last few days looking after his extensive holdings. Mir Sullivan is one of our livest men and always has a good word for the peo- pie and property holdings of Kelvin. Dare say MT. Sullivan has brought more monied men into this section than any five other men combined have. Mir. Sullivan has many friends in Arizona who wish him the best of success in his mining ventures Mir Sullivan is born mining man and he is not afraid to venture. He could tell some mighty interesting mining deals if he cared to. He has travelled all over this western mining country, in the gold regions, etc. and claims that the Kelvin mining district looks better to him in every respect than other places. We have the mineral. we have the water. the wood, good roads, good railroads. and we also have a good. progressive town con taining everything necessary. and we have the men to work, and all we want is a little capital and this dis trict will stand second to none.
 John Tillman. one of our most practical prOspectors and miners, has been working for the last two months on his claims on the Kelvin and Ray road, about one mile from Ray. Mir. Tillman has encountered some very rich showings. but is not ready to make any statements about his property.
 C. F.. Behr keeps steadily develop ing his property and has some very rich ore. MT. Behr has been inter ested in this property for several years, and in that time has develop ed it sufficiently to start shipping ore this coming spring, provided he does not dispose of it in the mean time. He had several offers previous to the panic. but they did not ma terialize, owing to the money condi- tion of the country.
 Denny Lynch and Thomas Mellin are going to resume work on their claims in the Kelvin section very soon. Several men will be put to work on the same tunnel that showed up so rich last year. These claims are no doubt very rich, as the crop pings on surface and the veins in the tunnel are very good This prop erty is located very conveniently, be- ing on the Phoenix and Eastern rail- road and but one-half mile from the mills of the Ray Copper company. They have several purchasers on hand and feel confident of disposing of it at a good round figure.
 Hank Barton is now doing his as- sessment work on his claims near town. Hank is a hard worker and deserves to win out His claims lie the Ray property, and they will no doubt take them over in the course of time.
 Jim Elder, our veteran prospector. is busy these October days working with pick and shovel doing assess ment work. Jim is a hard worker. He makes quite a picturesque figure walking up the street with his pick on his shoulder, his shovel in the other hand. his canteen slung over his shoulder and his wide, bushy whiskers floating in the air. Jim is very intimate friend of Governor kibbey and held quite a conversa- ton with him on his recent visit to Kelvin.
 Jim McSheny, one of Kelvin's best known prospectOrs. is fast develop ing his valuable property into a mine of good dimensions. Jim has some very valuable copper claims carry ing considerable gold. and has very convenient location of west side of Mineral creek, about two miles down grade to the railroad.
