A. H. Westfall, general manager of | the Monon route, is expected to ar rive here next Tuesday night via the Santa Fe in his private car He will be accompanied by Mrs. WeStfall. MT. Westfalls private secretary, and George P Baldwin. president of the Baldwin Syndicate of Chicago, and president also. of the Kelvin Sul- tana Copper company, whose prop erty is in Pinal county, across the river from Kelvin. It is understood the party will leave on the Wednes- day morning train for Kelvin
 The visit of MT Westfall, so far as known has no railroad significance. | being purely in respect of his private 1 business, for he is the vice president of the Kelvin Sultana Copper com pany. and he is coming at this time l to inspect the mining property, in 1 company with President Baldwin, as ! a preliminary to the installation of
 new machinery and the expanding of 1 developing operations. The Kelvin
 Sultana Copper company has been i fully financed by the Baldwin Syndi-
 cate which underWrote a million 1 shares of the company's stock and l sold the entire issue in three weeks.
 The property is by no means a new 1 one as it is the old Bryan group. first
 exploited by J. K. Mccarthy many
 years ago. It subsequently, changed hands various times and much work was done upon it by one owner or
 another. but none of them had suffi cient capital to make it producer,
 except in a small way. Much fine ore
 was encountered and it is of record that the richest copper ore that was ever worked by the Humboldt smelt-
 CT, came from this mine.
 The old workings. however, were
 not planned for modern methods and were in bad condition when the pres ent owners secured possession q year
 or two ago. The ground was all thor
 oughly proSpected at once. It was
 placed under the superintendency of
 Neil McMillan. who after a careful
 examination and with the knowledge
 of what had been revealed by the old
 workings, decided that it would be
 better to begin operations anew and
 at some distance from the old shaft.
 He knew that if there was mine
 there at all the ore bodies were not
 confined to that little patch of ground
 and if they extended at all he be-
 lieved he could locate their direction
 and trend and proceeded to do So.
 He began the sinking of a new
 shaft hundreds of feet from the old
 nre naming it the Diamond Joe.
 This was carried to the depth of 900
 feet. from which point he began both
 drift and a crossCut. The drift has been carried a long distance and has
 developed a fine body of ore which did not appear on the surface but which the shaft had broken into at the expected point The crOsscut has also crossed several parallel veins and
 at last report was in another fine
 one the width of which had not been determined. Good hoisting works and compressor surmount the Diamond Joe.
 The company is now planning the sinking of four more shafts to the depth of 600 feet as we'll as continu- ing the Diamond Joe. which opera tions, it is hoped. will be accomplished within a year. when the mine should he able to furnish an immense tonnage of ore It is to facilitate this work that the installation of q big power II pant IS now COnteInpidteu dHu It " III l probably be placed at or near Kel- win. and the power carried by trans mission line to the mine which is only about mile from the town of Kelvin. Of the great value of the mine and it's wonderful resources in both gold and copper there has never been much doubt by those familiar with it It has only been a matter of interesting sufficient capital to ex- ploit it properly and that having been done the Kelvin Sultana will be ex- pected in the near future, to take it's place among the big mines in the state considerable force of men has been steadily employed ever since the present management assumed control and it is likely now that the
