KELVIN MINES ARE
ON THE BOOM
Prosperity of That Section Is
Fully Assured By It's
Resources,

Thos. S. Brooks of Kelvin sends the
following to the Arizona Republican
from Kelvin, under date of Oct. 30:
The mining business In this section
Is as bright and prosperous looking as
ever. AS the election day draws closer
this district appears TO be growing
daily. After election has passed into
oblivion big things to be done in this
locality will assume more definite
shape There are numerous large min
ing companies here, such as the Ray
Consolidated Copper company. the
Kelvin-Calume company, the Sultana-
Arizona company. the Eagle NJ. &
Copper company, the Arizona Her
cules company, all having immense
valuable properties waiting for the
word to go ahead The Raw Coprer
company has at the present time six
large Hills prospecting Its large
property and five more drills are ex.
pected daily. Two of these drills
are the Keystone aai the balance are
Star drills. The Star drills are con-
ceded to be the best They drill fast
er, work smoother end will penetrate
present time there are several hun
dred drill holes averaging 400 feet
in depth and several holes 500 feet.
These holes are 100 feet apart. Ore
has been struck, with few exceptions,
in every hole. The ore lies in blan-
kets and is thus easy to determine
about the amount of ore they have.
Everyone knows by this time that the
Ray property is one OF the largest and
most valuable in the country and that
It will be only a short time before
operations will be commenced on a
huge scale. and then all who have
stuck to. Kelvin and Ray will be am
ply repair. When you know that men
like Sherwood AIdrich, president OF
the Ray Consolidated Copper com
pany; w. L. Austin, celebrated metal
lurgist: A. Chester Beatty, for many
years consulting engineer of Guggen-
helms: H. NJ. Blackburne, capitalist;
Eugene p. Shore, treasurer Of Ray
Consolidated Copper company; Spen-
Ger Penrose, millionaire mining man;
C. NJ. MacNeil, president Utah Copper
company; Lord George Gordon, Eng.
lish capitalist John Adams, financier
of Detoitte Plender Grifiths & Co.;
j Nys
Utah Copper Co.; C. L. Mudd, con-
sulting engineer, and Philip Wiseman,
general manager of the Ray Consoli-
dated Copper company, are back OF a
property, 1t can be sareIy relied on as
going to amount % something. The
above mentioned group of capitalists
arrived here few days ago in c. NJ
MacNeirs private car, direct from
New York City and spent several
days looking over the Ray property.
Nothing was given out as to wnat
was going to be done, but If the good
humor they were ali in during their
stay here could be taken for anything
it certainly looks good for this sec
ton.
w. W. Glenn has a contract with
the Ray Copper company to run tun-
mel in several hundred feet.
E. w. Steward, superintendent OF
the Ray company's drills, is a very
busy man these days. He is always
on the jump and puts his hand 10
anything that comes along. He is very
popular with the employees and is an
expert on anything concerning the
drill workings. When a new drill ar
riyes and it moves with more than Or
binary speed it is always noticed that
Mr.. Steward is at the throttle. He
certainly keeps things on the move.
Mr.. Wheeler, the surveyor employ
ed by the Ray Copper company, Is
very busy now surveying off claims
preparatory to patenting.
SurYeyinb notices are TO be seen
going up all orund this section.
The Eagle Mountain Copper com
pany, Col. P. T. McGrath general man
ager, are doing considerable work al
the present time. Several contracts
have been given out for tunnel work
and from the nature of ore brought
to light, they certainly have a good
property.
A powder house, machine shop and
several commodious dwellings have
been built, the roads have been i'm
proved and altogether business at the
Eagle Mountain Copper camp look;
very encouraging. Colonel McGratt
is a good, live business man, ant
things under his management shoulC
prosper, and if the Eagle Mountain
| Copper company don't become one o
our largest mining companies in Ari
zona many people viii be mistaken.
