1 Mir. and Mrs. A. H. Westfar and George ?. Baldwin of Chicago, re- turned from Kelvin last night where they spent two or three days in the inspection of the Kelvin SuItana mine They are travelling in the private car of MT. Westfall who is general man ager of the MOnOn route, though he is here on mining business being vice president of the Kelvin Sultana com pany, of which MT. Baldwin is presi- dent They will leave for Chicago on this mornings north bound s. F. P. X P train. delighted with their visit to Arizona.
 When they reached here last evening at 5:25 they were met at the depot by
 Superintendent c. M. Scott of the Ari- zona Eastern, who placed his automo-
 bile at their disposal and serving as
 guide and chauffeur himself, gave them a tour of a couple of hours to nearby points of interest They went north on Central avenue through the Indian school grounds and nearly to Orangewood, then returning to the city took a general ride through it from the high school to the capitol and through the residence districts, and
 then for d short spin across the Cen 1 tral avenue bridge and through the south side farming district.
 On their return al of them expressed a great deal of surprise at what they i had seen and indicated fine appre citation of things they had no Oppor ! tunity to see but when told about could well believe, as evidenced by the | scenes that had passed before them in
 a ride of two hours. Interest was ex- pressed in such more distant attrac- | tiOns as the orange groves, ostrich farms, the Roosevelt dam and road etc. but time was too short to visit over a | day to see them.
 1 It was the first visit of MT. and Mrs. l Westfall here but they promised it will
 not be the last, for MT Westfall says l that the prospects of the Kelvin Sul- 1 tana mine are just as good in their way
 as are the prospects of this rich agri- | cultural section and his interest in the mine will doubtless bring him this way again at no distant day. MT. Baldwin | has been here frequently but never l took quite so much of look around as | he secured yesterday. All three de- | clared themselves surprised at the size l of the city, of which one gets but a | faint idea by cOnfining his Observa- | tions to the business streets. They were no less complimentary in their | comments respecting the character of | it's buildings and architecture, the fine | appearance of the school houses ard the hundreds of pretty and comfort l able homes and attractive lawns and 1 gardens.
 The visit to the Kelvin Sultana mine 1 was designed as a business trip but it proved to be a pleasurable outing a' we'll The weather has been incOm- parable. as salubriOus as one generally | finds at a summer resort, a little warm
 in the day time but cool and pleasant | tonight, ideal for sleeping. Some peO- pie who have visited Arizona in July may be inclined to take this statement
 as colored by the prejudices of @ na- l tive but it is positively true, though l it must pc admitted that the weather | has been exceptional this year.
 The inspection of the mine was a i thorough one and this reference ap- plies to Mrs Westfall as well as to tha | gentlemen in the party. She did not | propose to come all the way from Chicago to see a mine anl then not sec l it only because the shaft was not
 equipped with an upholstered elevator | so she cambered into the bucket and | seiZing the cable was lowered to the l bottom of the shaft, whence she pro- 1 ceeded through the dim1y lighted lrifts and tunnels to it's farthest recesses
 She enjoyed the novelty greatly and has to honor of being the first woman
 who ever went down in the min9.
 | MT. Baldwin to whose energy is due the successful development of the pro- ject was on familiar ground having
 visited the property many times, but
 he was delighted to see the progress
 made since his last former visit. MT
 Westfall who knew of the conditions
 only through the printed page and by | personal adVices was surprised beyond 1 expression. He said the property IS | bigger than he had formed any con
 ception of and there are immense bod
 ies of ore now in plain view while the
 development work is going along ran-
 | idly and added veins are being pene'
 | trated as fast as new ground is cu
 | into There are ahOut twenty men now
