 THANKS TO BISBEE.
 So thoroughly did everybody appre- ciate the many courtesies extended by the Copper Queen management, that on Friday evening a special card of thanks to Ben and Lewis Williams in i particular and to the entire pspuiarfom of Bisbee in general, signed by the chief officers of the three grand Ma sonic bodies (and heartily subscribed 1 to by all the visitors), was regularly issued and published in the Bisbee Tyre.
 The banquet came as fitting teami- nation of the entire notable gathering. Here Perfect Ashlar lodge outdid all previous records. It was held in Bis bees very pretty and commoddous op- era house, and the decorative inge- nuity and good taste of the admirable Mrs. Crossey was in all the arrange
 ments. By her inspiration an i'm promptu fountain, shedding it's sil-
 yer from behind multi-hued incan- descent bulbs. formed a chromaEfc center piece of rare beauty Six white doves adorned the base of the foun- tain, and in the beak of each bird was
 an ingot of the metal that gives the Copper Queen it's riches. The very neatly printed menu card bore on it's
 cover, this inscription:
 PERFECT ASHLAR W
 Lodge No. 12. V
 F. & A. M. OF ARIZONA.
 Banquet Given in Honor of the
 GRAND LODGE OF ARIZONA November Eleventh,
 1897
 1 Under the skillful guidance of Toast
 master Warmer, the intellectual part of the feast progressed smoothly and rapidly enough None of the speeches were too lengthy and all of them pointed and pithy. Ex-Governor Mur- phy, who responded to the first toast,
 America; Our Country" spoke as fol-
 lows:
 '',rhe vastness of the subject ap-
 pals, but its grandeur inspires. Few can do it justice under the most favor
 able circumstances and in the brief time allotted here I cannot hope to more than linn in very unworthy
 way meager outlines of civilization's greatest picture: 'Breathes there a
 man wiEh soul so dead, who never to himself hath said, my own, my
 native land?' In rebrpspection our national pride quickens. But little over century ago few impoverished
 heroes, inspired by holiness of pur- j pose, sublime courage and the DrOtec-
 tion of divinity, commenced that TO- ble struggle for liberty from which has l developed the mightiest nation Of the
 earth. First in all that ennobles, the
 equal of ary in the arts and scfences
 and in inventive genius, the greatest power, the wisest and highest civiliza- ition, the wealthiest and best govern tha 1unrld erected 1lranu in.
