Party Touring in Ford Car Reports a Pleasant Trip as Far as Grand Canyon, With Finish in a Snow Storm

The Republican has received a very interesting letter from w. Lacey who writes from the Grand Canyon in behalf of himself and associates who left here for New York in a Ford automobile. a few days ago. The letter contains information that will be of value to anybody who contem- plates trip to the canyon by ma chine, via Ash Fork, and is as fol- lows:
 We are the people ,who left Phoe- nix the 20th in d Ford car, en route to New York. arriving here the fourth day out We reached here in fine condition after some disagree able driving. as the roads were very dusty, though they were good roads except in q few places. From Pres colt to Ash Fork the road was in splendid condition and leaving Ash Fork we came to the canyon over the same road recently traversed by the occupants of Packard car, whom We met near Prescott and who recommended the route.
 Tt is 70 miles from Ash Fork to the canyon and we found the road satisfactory, though on our arrival we were greeted with a genuine snow storm. We will leave for Flagstaff Monday morning (Feb. 26) and then on to Springerville. striking the Trail to Sunset route eastward. The car is doing nicely over all kinds of roads.
 The canyon is q wonderful sight worth much to anyone who can af- ford to come and it requires about three days to do" the canyon
 Tt is rather a puZzling route from Ash Fork to the canyon and those who take it should be well advised before leaving Ash Fork. The Pack ard party left all necessary infor- nation concerning the road, with a man named Fagerberg who runs a store in Ash Fork. and from him we secured all the directions we needed. He gave us a typewriter sheet to go by and by keeping the track of the 3peedometer and certain marks and crossroads. forks. etc. we were en- abled to easily follow the right road, the information secured being Of very material benefit.
 Tt is q dcsolate countr! as we traversed the 70 miles without meet ira a living person. so one can real i"e WFat sort of a position he would bc in should trouble arise that left his D:achine stalled.

COPPER IS KING.
Do You Know That the Kelvin Mining District, Pinal County, Ariz, Is Conceded to Be the Richest Mining Field in America?

What I desire is, to call your at tention to the property of the KEEL YIN TUNNEL SITE and MINING COMPANY. located in the heart of the above district This company owns a mountain comprising 220- acres Nineteen well-defined veins cross this property-east 10 westerly. This property is being developed by a level TUNNEL, running north to south, crosscutting all veins, at a depth of 200 to 750 feet. Four i'm portant veins have been cut The last vein cut is 196 feet wide all ore ore showing 3 per cent to r per cent copper, $3 to 8 in gold and silver, and iron over II per cent. The Arizona x Eastern railroad crosses this property within 200 feet of the tunnel: also the Gila river, giving ideal facilities for transpor- tation and water. Our tunnel is now in distance of 700 feet. The next vein we expect to cut is believed to be the richest vein in the district. Ore has been shipped from this vein, on the east of us, showing copper ore averaging 3t per cent per ton by the car load. with gold and silver values near s10 per ton. Three thou sand feet of this vein crosses our property, and is the vein we expect to cut, and we believe we can with necessary funds, cut this vein within sixty days. Therefore, we have de- cided to offer a limited amount of this stock for sale, at the low price of 25 cents d share. We are firmly of the belief that when we have cut the vein above referred to that fact will advance this stock to at least $1 per share, thus making the pur- chasers 300 per cent profit on the in- VeStment.
 Over $S,000.000 has been expended in this immediate vicinity within the past four years, in mills and ma chinery for handling the product of this district over 75,00O,000 tons of ore now blocked out in the dis trict. These great mills are about Is miles from our property. Our stock, at this time and the price. is cer- tainly an excellent buy; will make money for the purchaser.

A NEW DIAMOND FIELD.

In the last five years there has been considerable prospecting for diamonds in the Congo Free State. that part of Africa which has been extensively ex- plotted by European capitalists with profitable results in general. As re- suit many small stones have been found and 2 company has been formed to carry on work extensively along the Lualaba river and on the Kunderlungu plateau, over an area of more than 10000 square miles.
 The largest stone yet found weighed only OPS carat, but there is evidence that the diamonds are abundant in quantities that will pay for mining. Naturally the question that arises is whether such a discovery will make diamonds less expensive and more abundant in the worlds markets. Only time can answer this question. but there is reason for believing that the diamond, like gold, is widely distrib- uted over the earth's surface strata and that no "diamong trust" can be permanent.
 In this connection it is worthy of note that the Arkansas diamond field. discovered about five years ago. is not yet producing stones to any large eX- tent. The most important find" of 1911 was an eight and -one -eighth-car- at diamond; but capital is not yet en- listed in the mining to any large ex- tent. Meantime artificial construction of precious stones is making such progress that there may be large production by this means in the near future.-ChicagO Record Herald.
