SOME REASONS
 FUR RAY TRIP
NJ. X NJ. Association Urges It's Members to Join the Mines Special of Board of Trade June II for Ray and Hayden Towns

All the valid and serious reasons for the Phoenix business men mak- ing the mines trip to Ray, and d few i that are not serious but just as con 1 Nlncin& are contained in a circular
 letter that was mailed out yesterday l to the members of the Merchants and Manufacturers association of this 1 city urging them to go to the mine country to get acquainted with folks ! up there. A newspaper of the Ray district complained recently that 1 Phoenix does not take sufficient in | terest in mines and mining. But after that deluge of glad hands on Satur- i day. June fl. when a swarm of busi- ness and professional men of the cap ] it,u ciN visit Hayden, Ray. Kelvin and the towns thercabout. there will 1 be absolutely no reason for the re-
 petition of the wall
 Ray and Phoenix are 50 situated geographically that they can be of great mutual benefit in q trade way. The circular points this out and men tions that owing to the failure of the buSincss men of Phoenix to visit Ray and show some interest in the little town, much of the enormous business that is done out Of the
 mines goes to Tucson and other points. It says that in payrools alone R4y disburses a matter Of a quarter of million dollars a month, and that u least some of this ought
 to come through Phoenix
 The capital takes great deal more
 interest in mining matters than some
 folk think. The board of trade rates
 mines next to farming in importance and boosts them accordingly An other instance is the department Of mines of The Arizona Republican,
 conducted by W. r Deity, d recog nIZcd expert D engineering and mines These are only two parts out of the many of interest taken In mines in Phoenix The fortunes of mines and miners forms a large part of the con y-ersation of business men. The eIe- ment pt the dramatic enters. too. from time to time. for sudden strikes and rises and falls in fortune always bring out the coIorful sides of hu- man nature and furnish topics for plays and books
 on the anniversary of the fire dis aster that destroyed Ray. the busi- ness men ot Phoenix are going to make their visit. to see the rebuilt l Ray. the developed Hayden and the | mines that are their life source. Ac- 1 cordjngly the railroad has been en- listed and it's cooperation consists in | running the excursion train and low ering the fare for the round trip to 1 s5G5 so that in monetary way, the | trip will not be worth q worry. Ac- l contradictions have been secured at the hotels for the guests from the | valley. Various forms Of entertain 1 ment have been resorted to to hold l the visitors The Phoenix Gun club l will shoot a match with the Hayden l ites a boxing match has been ar ranged at the Pay opera house be- l tween two IightWeiehts of well known | ring experience.
