Kelvin, Ariz, July 24.-(Special cor respondence of The Republican-)- Philip Wiseman, former manager of the Ray Consolidated company, was Kelvin visitor this week. He is now promoting another mining proposition and it goes without saying that 1t will be launched in a very short while, as NIT. Wiseman is one of the shrewdest and best mining experts in the coun- try. Before coming to Arizona, two wears ago. he was actively engaged in the mining business in Butte, Mont, where he was phenOmenally success full He and his associate, R. D. Grant, were the chief promoters of the Ray Consolidated Copper company, buying the property from the old English company which operated here without success They were both instrumental in putting the Ray company where it is today The stock was raised from $ to F in a very few months. It now ranks among the largest undeveloped copper mines in the country, with un- limited possibilities. MT. Wiseman and Mir. Grant have sold their interests to Bernard NJ. Branch. who represents the Guggenheims. for $1,loO,O0O. This is the largest transfer of mining prop erty that has occurred in Arizona for some time.
 A corps of surveyors at Ray is bus ily engaged laying out townsite on the property of the Arizona Hercules company and is also re-surveying and checking up claims, marking them per manently with cement posts on the corners. The company is going ahead rapidly with development work at that place.
 Frank NJ Pool, who until recently was employed by the Union Health x Accident Association of Denver as gen eral agent, has just bought an interest in the Kelvin Lumber company and is now associated with F. E. Zachery and is taking an active part in the business. Mir. Pool is a thorough busi- ness man and an expert accountant. having spent a number of years in the banking business. MT. Pool is exer- cising very good judgment and a great deal of forethought in entering the lumber business in Kelvin, as it is obliged to prove extremely remunera- tive. as the demand for lumber and building materials will be far greater the coming year than ever before in Kelvin.
 The Ray company has not made public the exact location Of the new mammoth mill and shelter, but 1t is generally believed that it will be Tn the neighborhOod of Kelvin, though the company surveyors have been at work northeast of here on the P. & F.. for the last month. But it is merely guess work at the present time to say where they will really be built When the actual construction starts it VIII give employment to over a thousand men, The structural steel for the shelter Is due to arrive in November Work on the mill will in all probability be be- gun at an earlier date. Kelvin is, and will inevitably be, the business center of this tremendous project Watch us grow" is the watchword here at the present
 Word was received here yesterday that the Southern Pacific had started a survey from San Pedro to Benson.
 Christman & Son, the largest con- tractors and builders of Kelvin, have just completed a large residence on Main street south of the Hercules Mer- cantile company which adds greatly to the appearance of that street.
 c. W. Roberts, Kelvins popular bar Der. has just completed an addition to his shop on the north side, making it larger and better in every way.
