ITS FUTURE IS ASSURED

spondence of The Republ:can.) Since it has been decided by the Ray com pany to build its new mill in Kelvin, and the work on the standard gauge track to Ray has really begun, con- fidence has been greatly restored, and has already proved a wonderful stim- ulus to business in all lines, but es- pecially in the hotel and restaurant business. Outside capitalists are all ready coming in with a view of in vesting in mines or getting in some profitable business as there are some very rare opportunities here for the small investor as well as the large, and it is only a matter of time that this will rank among the best camps in Arizona.
 The latest news here is that Kel- win is to have a new, modern, well appointed hotel of forty-eighU rooms with all conveniences of a first class hotel, which will be situated in north Kelvin.

  launched.
 We have water mains all over town with a very good pressure and as above stated al We need is the willing hands properly equippeds and as we have the former, let us do all We can toward raising the necessary funds. The new 25,000 gallon tank reservoir on the hill is a great safe guard against fire in case anything happened to the pumps, that amount of water is always held in reserve The roof over it has just been com pleted.
