LOehr Sure y.
Little BObbie
Reaching Ore

Supt. Leonard Loehr of the Little
Bobbie mine, is looking forward with
a great deal of interest to the result
of the efforts of the miners for the
next few days. 1t is his positive be.
lief that they are now reaching the
large ore body for which they have
been working for the past several
months.
The Little Bobbie is showing up
better every day, according to Mr.
Loehr, and as soon as the tunnel gets
under the big blowout showing on
the surface he expects to uncover a
huge body of ore. Up to the present
time the work has been progressing
with only one object in view and that
was to reach the ore. They have been
consistently carrying on the develop
ment work with the one idea in mind
and that was to first open up the mine
and then talk about it afterward.
The Little Bobbie is ideally located
and is Joined on opposite sides by the
Ray Silver Lead and the Broken Hill
mines. Both of these properties have
proven themselves, or at least have
proven to their owners that they have
an excellent opportunity of making
good mines. The Little Bobbie also
lies about a mile and a half from the
Ray Con. workings and is convenient
ly close to the railroad.

COMING TO RAY

''The Barrier the ten-reel photo
drama of Rex Beach's famous novel
by the same name, comes to the Air
rome Theater, Wednesday, June 18TH
This picture has been heralded as one
of the greatest dramas that has ever
been on the screen. At the Broad
way Theater, New York, it scored tre-
mendously. At Los Angeles it was a
big hit. At the Columbia Theater,
Phoenix, it played longer than any
other picture and was pronounced the
finest picture ever seen at that place.
1t comes direct to Ray and the open
ing here is sure to be the biggest ever
seen at the Airdome Theater. This
picture has an appeal to everybody.

pointed.

R. & CIV ORDERED
To BUILD RAILROAD
To HERCULES PLANT

By the terms of an order handed
down by the corporation commission
at Phoenix this week, the Ray and
Gila Valley railroad is to build line
of railroad connecting it's present line
with the mine of the Arizona Hercules
Copper company at Ray and to the
new mill of the latter company about
a mile east of Kelvin.
The order, which becomes effective
in ninety days, provides for the meth
cd of construction proposed at the
time the case came up for hearing,
namely that the Hercules company is
to pay the costs of constructing the
new lines of railroad. The matter of
refunding the cost out of the freight
charges after traffic begins moving
from the Hercules mine to the new
mill will be ruled on in later order,
the commission states. The order
provides that the Hercules company
shall furnish bond in the sum of $780,
900 to insure the railroad company
against loss.
The order was signed by Commis-
sioners Jones and Belts, Commission
er Cole dissenting on the ground that
the commission. had no jurisdiction to
order railroad to construct a line off
it's own right of way.
