| Kelvin. April 2O.-(Special Core
spondence To The Republican, Since
| our last report business and pleasure
seem to have conspired together Ia
work all KelviniteS overtime. The
! continued improvements i'm connec-
ton with the Ray Consolidated Cop
per company's concentrate plant has
necessitated another shut down. but
no shifts are lost by employers, as
| all hands are used on repair work.
/ The company's recent statement of
! business done and ore handled in the
past few months looks good, indeed,
and when plans for the new mill are
put in motion. Kelvin will hum. We
understand from good authority that
material and men for the grade work
of the copper company's standard
gauge line connecting the mines at
Ray with the Southern Pacific rail-
way at this point are being rushed
forward. and that the rail will begin
coming as soon as the grade work is
well under way. Then. in the fall.
when work on the large new mill be
gins, some Of our old prospectors who
have gotten interested in the hills,
return, they will gasp in surprise at
the town springing up where they
left our present village. The copper
company's new dry crUsher machin
cry recently installed seems to have
proved successful and may be re-
moved at once unless better results
are made.
our sister town of Ray is apparent
" intent upon holding us down to a
neck TO neck race in both the bust
ness and social line, and from the
amount of lumber going up from the
yards here daily it seems to have US
skinned in house building.
The Arizona Hercules Mining COM
pany and the Arizona Central Cop
per company, both of which have
their headquarters at Ray are max
ing numerous Improvements. The
former company has recently built
six very attractive cottages on the
hills overlooking the town, all Of
which are occupied by employees. The
latter company is getting busy and
reports say that they will soon want
considerable help. Business in all
lines is undergoing daily changes for
the better. Mr.. Spiller. manager OF
the Hercules store at Ray was heard
to say yesterday that he would be
almost obliged to have more help in
short while.
Joe Ischwachi and his cousin, the
Japs who have been behind the gun
at the Southern Hotel since the din
ing-roOm was first Onened W this
year. left our camp today for parts
unknown. Joe leaves many friends I'm
camp. They made many kicks, of
course, and wanted a white cook. but
with an old experienced white cook
now in charge. the kickers are still
kicking. They have just 50 much sole
leather they allow themselves for kick
ing. and it must be used w. They
kick the fOot-board while asleep. The
fact is, that no restaurant in Phoenix
puts up any nicer meals than our res
taurant here. The writer has no in
terest whatever in the dining-room or
those who run it, but simply knows
what he says TO be true; besides, the
drummers are often heard to say that
the grub isn't half bad here. and you
know what that means. for they GER
tainly know. 1t is reported this even
ing that Mr.. McNealy, who recently
resigned his position with the Hercu-
les Merchandise company as general
manager. viii leave tomorrow or
Thursday. We have known for some
