Ore Brought From Kay Mine by Auto
 Trucks and TraIers.

The Kay Copper company has of auto trucks in Los Angeles, Cal ifOrnia for d 90 horsepower truck with trailers to haul it's ore from the mine fifty miles north of Phoenix to the Santa Fe railroad at Glendale. Arizona, forty-two miles.
 The truck has a capacity to trans port six tons of ore from the minN to New River, and from New River to Glendale. thirty miles they can haul with trailers twenty tons of ere The truck will be in commission within thirty days. and with the freighting outfit Of Lewis and lis dale working forty head of mules hauling on their contract with the Kay Copper company of one thou sand tons of ore the old stage road between Phoenix and Prescott will have the busy appearance that it lad twenty-five years ago when fIeighters and stages carried all the freight from Phoenix to Prescott and the northern part of that section of the country.
 The Kay Copper companys camp is located about one mile south of hte mouth of the Black Canon creek on the Agua Fria river. They emplay at this time fifteen men in the mine and with the force of men that the Harris Copper company now has employed driving a tunnel about five hundred feet from their shaft to cut the same vein that the Kay Copper company have found their great body of copper ore in. and in connection with the usual amount of prOspectorS that naturally would be attracted to a camp with this amount of work going on. there is noticeable amount of activity in the vicinity of the mouth of the Black Canon creek, and if reports are true and it would indicate that there could be no ques- ton but the Kay Copper company has uncovered an enormous amount Of high grade copper ore to justify the company in expending the amount of money that an auto truck, to the railroad.
 It can be readily seen that the good roads in Maricopa county lead ing out from Phoenix are bringing the business from a point beyond what would be regarded as naturally tributary to the city. As the Kay Copper company is located just over the line in Yavapai county and with in eighteen miles of Turkey creek on the Santa Fe's Bradshaw branch, but the road leading from the mine to the railroad station to the north is too rough to haul heavy loads of freight and for that reason the ore is brought to Glendale fOrty-two miles. where the roads are in shape to transport heavy freighting.
 The fact that the Kay Copper com pany is freighting its ores such a distance speaks well for the con dition of the roads in Maricope coun- ty. and any money expended by the public on good roads is sure tH bring great commercial returns to the business interests of Phoenix.
