 The moving pictures and Joe Sacket. the world-renowned banjo player, were at the opera house on Wednesday evening.

A dance followed the show which was attended a large bunch of Ray boys being pres ent. led by Jimmy Davis.

 A. B. Collins, a former employe of the Ray Copper company, has left town owing a number of bills Mum erOus officials of the law are looking for him and hope to round him up.
 A $500 auto-piano was received by the Kelvin Opera House company the other day. It was shipped direct from New York City and is considered a beauty by all who have seen it. It will be used at all the dances an en- tertainments and will no doubt be a very useful adjunct to the opera house.
 The drop curtain for the opera house is now finished and it is a fine piece of work F. W. Phillips was the artist. Compliments were heard on all sides. The center piece is a large water scene from New York state MT Phillips is from Casa Dega, N. Y, and the scenes there are still fresh in his mind The various advertisements on the curtain are finished in good style.
 Miss Anna Halbert of Ray. has had a severe attack of nervous prostration the last few weeks and did not seem to get better very fast and it was deemed to give her a change of cli- mate. It was decided to send her to friends in Los Angeles. Cal, where we all sincerely trust she will recover.

 Rev. MT. Kennedy is now in town and will hold services at Kelvin and Ray as usual on Sunday. He earnestly requests that all who can possibly at tend the services will do so. MT. Ken nedy is a very zealous worker and is trying very hard to build up a good. l solid institution here. His headquar- ters are at Florence, but as Kelvin is soon expected to develop we would like 1 to have Mir. Kennedy with us all the time

RAY PROPERTIES IN
 THE STOCK MARKET
They Are Held Strong at Nice Quota tions Above Par.

The following information concern ing two well known properties in the Ray Kelvin mining district is taken from the weekly market letter of Feb ruary 20 of B. H. Scheftels & Co.,. mining stock brokers of New York and Chicago. The publication is not de- voted especially to exploiting the properties named, as these items are found in the miscellaneous column of the Weekly Letter. which is a publica ton of considerable magnitude and covers the whole range of mining stock operations These comments, however. indicate that there is some thing doing in the Ray country and that there will be more doing a little later on.
 Ray Consolidated: There has been a great ceal of activity of late in both the stock and bonds of the Ray Con solidated Copper company of Kelvin, Arizona. Today the market quotation for the stock is $11 bid, S11@ asked. When We first called attention to the buy" qualities of this issue in our Weekly Market Letter a few weeks ago the stock could be purchased around sS We still pronounce it good purchase at the advanced fig ures. Ore discoveries are responsible for the advance. These have been of such magnitude recently that the best mining judgment in the far west ap- pears to be a unit that the intrinsic value of the shares is easily better

Bisbee, Ariz., Feb. 22.-CSpecia1 cor respOndence of The Republican)- The rival townsite companies in COurtland are making great deal of noise these days and many Bisbee people are interested in the new camp. Six weeks ago it was practic- ally a barren mountain region, but today it is claimed that there are over fifteen hundred people in the camp, most of whom are living in tents. The McFate townsite was the first opened and is situated on what is known as No Mans Land west of the Great Western Mining companys property. On this townsite there is situated not a restaurant, grocery store, general merchandise store, bar Der shop, pool room, hardware store, and tent hotels. There are also a number of short order houses which are doing lively business. Meals may nights lodging on a floor carpeted with gravel and cactus, costs from one dollar to one and a half
 The Great Western company's tOwnsite will probably be thrown open yet this month On this town site the biggest stores of the camp are located, but owing to the fact that they aresituated on valuable mineral ground and in such a pO- sition as to interfere with the com- pany's working. they will have to be

GEO. f. HAGEMAN'S
 GROWING BUSINESS
E. E. Hageman, Brother From Iowa, Has Become Associated With Him.

F. F. Hageman, who came here from Iowa about three months ago, looked around, was pleased with the country. and went away again. re turned about two weeks ago for the purpose of going into business with his brother, George E. Hageman. Yes terday Mrs. F. F.. Hageman and their two sons arrived, and from this time forward Phoenix will be their home.
 The new partnership not only ,af- lords F. F. Hageman a business open ing at once, but it will materially benefit George Hageman, whose busi- ness is a growing one and who needed the added capital to handle it as he believes will be most successful for the firm and also most satisfactory for his patrons
 It is a business that to be run as it should be requires the purchase of most of the stock in carload lots in order to secure the closest prices. and that involves an investment of considerable capital. which is now am ply provided. George E. Ha-cl.an has been in business here five years and has enjoyed a pleasing prosperity, which he believes will not only con tinue but increase. His brother is not by any means engaging in an untried experiment for he has been in the same business in Iowa, knows what it is and likes it.

INSTANT RELIEF FROM ITCH
The Itch Gone, the Skin Soothed and
 Refreshed-lmmediately.
Instant relief from that itch.

Instant relief from that itch.
 A few drops of a soothing liquid
 And the itch is gone as if by magic.
 Just a drop or two on the skin anl no more of that torturing, endless, nerve racking itch.
 Can you imagine how it will feel that itching agony swept away in a moment?
 You can know the relief if you just try the simple remedy-simplest of external liquid remedies-oil of win tergreen as compounded in D. D. D.. Prescription.
 We positively know that it ale viates the itch immediately-we vouch for this and guarantee it-fOr we have seen it used in too many cases, and the cures that follow. as far as we know, seem to be permanent. Elvey & Hulett, druggists.
