 PROCEEDING Kelvin Camp Getting Ready For Increasing Business SOCIAL RIVALRY WITH RAY A Runaway Which Added Excitement to the Camp and Dotted the Landscape With the Debris of a Her cules Company Wagon.

Kelvin. Ariz., April 15.-(Sspecial Correspondence of The RepublIcan)- Camp seems normal again after a lively Eastertide, and the Ray Consol- dated is raising dust and raging use less and old buildings. etc, to be re placed by new and more convenient ones. Some of the new machinery be- ing installed required about a four hour shutdown again, Monday night. the first trip to the mines by the ore train not being made until midnight. The companys new and larger engine is keeping the ore bins overflowing now and can easily handle sufficietly large trains to keep the mill busy day and night Several large mill ma chine companies have representatives here demonstrating their respective ore washing tables. When the company builds it's new mill, some firm will get a handsome order for tables. etc. so the machine people are keeping an eye on our camps progress, and the com pany's wants.
 The steady stream of drummers coming into Kelvin, representing all lines of business, and the satisfied eX- pression on our old heads and busi- ness men is quite enough to show you what they anticipate in the way of a future of the camp. The copper com panies. as well as the leading mer- cantile companies. are increasing their forces and receiving large shipments of freight. The adobe store building just north of the Hennis & Griffin buildings is being renovated on the interior preparatory to receiving new stock of goods. We do not know just who will take charge of the new busi- ness when the house is ready, but it will he used chiefly as an ice-cream and soft drink place.
 Charles McGee, proprietor of the Southern Hotel. has had his lot north of the main building put in nice shape and well cleaned this week, adding greatly to the appearance of the en- tire place. He continued improvements by putting in a nice wire fence around that part of the lot not occupied by the hotel. using sawed posts and wire, which make things attractive. We trust he may continue the good work by arranging to irrigate the unused portion of the lot and get it in grass.
 Several of our best known and old est prospectors have made a flying trip in this week. giving short but sweet accounts of their work. which they are pushing as fast as possible The party of Kelvinites who visited the Dagger Wells camp last Sunday report it as being a beautiful location, and they bring samples of a fine grade of copper. We understand. from good authority. this morning. that F. B. Zachary, who recently bought out the Kelvin Lumber company, finds that the business justifies a partner. and that Liss Hartman. of the Ray Con solidated Copper company's supply de- partment, has bought a half-interest in the yard. which will continue to be run under the same firm name as formerly. Both the members of the new firm are old residents of Kelvin.

tractors have been notified that the work must be so far completed as to permit of the operation of the line by next September. In this connection MT Lamsden, chief engineer, makes the confident prediction that this section will be in readiness to participate in the movement Of crops next autumn.
 The task is a big one. for this is but section in the line from ontario to the Pacific coast. Everywhere work is be- ing pushed in the same way. however. West of Winnipeg track has been laid and trains are in operation as far as Battle River, distance of 63Sl2 miles. Grading and bridging is complete and the track is laid over the whole dis tancc with suitable sidings at each sta tion. In British Columbia the first 100 miles from Prince Rupert is under contract and fair progress is being made with the grading. which Is com posed largely of solid rock.
 The total cost of this work will run into millions. but this is all part of the careful plans laid out by the govern ment and the railroad. The average individual. commenting upon the first NbSA OA lalN 1NAAAt id4AS utterly to understand that in this first cost is the final cost. that the builders of the road are building for traffic already assured and that when the road is finished it will be complete and ready to take the traffic and deliver 1t safely and surely. As one of the engi- neers recently put it. a railway badly located and cheaply constructed can never be made into a first-class line without the expenditure of millions of dollars and the delay of traffic. Both the government and the Crank Trunk management have faith in the future of Canada and they believe that the first cost of a first-class line will come back in the way of extra earning made possible by the easy grades which they are establishing and the splendid road bed which they are building.

Hollands Brave Beginning.

During the seventeenth. century this little nation Holland), with a fore sight and endurance unrivaled in his tory, was the handspring of the progress that other nations have since pursued. They fought for the right of a nation to be governed as it desires and of the individual to worship God as he chooses, and they established commercial and industrial life upon solid foundations. In art, also, they may indeed be said to have been the pioneers of the modern world.-From Charles H. Claffins The Story of Dutch Painting" in the May St. Nicholas.

Card Party.

A number OF women were putting on
their wraps preparatory To going home
from an AFTERNOON card party In the
upper residence district OF New York
one afternoon last winter which val
liable fur coat belonging TO one OF
them could not Nc found. There was,
however. another fur coat OF inferior
quality In the dressing room, which
the hostess said had evidently been
left by mistake by the woman who had
taken the ether garment. The avail,
ablo coat was taken away by the wo-
man whose wrap was missing I'm the
hope that the mistake would bo recti
ied without much trouble.
Several days passed. and no claim
was made fer tho coat the guest had
worn away from the house. and the
woman took IL 60 n dealer. where her
garment had been purchased. hoping
that some mark on the substituted
coat might be found ny which the
owner could be Identified. The plan
was successful. aud. much To her
amazcment. she discovered that, tho
inferior coat was the property Of her
card hostess.
Tho lost coat was found. and on
Ms return the matter was TO DO hushcd

enemies. Both were considered or

Somervse kept the lead throughout
and came into the last lap with cha
only few feet behind him. when
about twenty-five yards from the tin-
fish Somervillo put on a terrific burst
OF speed and drew away from his
rival. Suddenly at this point his grip
on the handle bar relaxed. and he fell
forward. Tho machine. however. un.

Ii was the treasure box OF the Wells

practically all the gold and silver from
the mining camps that was tho special
object OF the old time stagecoach high
wayman. A shrewd band or robbers
would not hold up q stage unless they
had good reason 10 think II carried a
large shipment OF gold. and they used
every means TO nnd out when these
shipments would DO made. The COM
pany, on the other hand. tpied 10 de-
ceive and trap them, and there was a
war of wits as well as weapons. A IA
vorite method OF the company when
their stages had been repeatedly rob
bed by some band whose sAccess
showed they had inside informa ton as
to the time OF shipment was TO let a
rumor leak out that on q certain day a
large amount OF gold dust would be
secretly sent out by special stage
This, or course, would reach the ears
OF some OF the band and a robbery be
duly organized. A spy would see n
number OF heavy boxes placed aboard
and report all well When the high
waymen halted the stage the driver
and guard would meekly give UP and
crawl to the ground Then just when
the bands had grown careless from
easy SUCCESS there poured from the
loopholed coach deadly fire that at
such short range wiped out the entire
gang at the frst volley, for the coach
was desoy, alled not with gold. but
with men expert with the rifle. In
1853 three bands were thus blown to
perdition on the old stage lime between
