Phoenix, May S.-The presidential
party spent an interesting day in
Arizona Bright sunshine and invig-
Grating air afforded the party much re
lief after the hot and dusty ride OF
Monday. Visits of two hours in the
morning at the Congress gold mine
and in the clouds of Blue Tank noun
tains were replete with incidents and
were thoroughly enjoyed, A large
American flag was draped across the
tunnel through which the president
passed and he told the little group of
miners about the train that never be-
fore had he seen the American flag
500 feet under ground. Leaving the
rich mining section in the mountains
900 feet above the sea level, the
train dropped down into the green Sat
river valley, with it's waving alfalfa
meadows and big herds Of cattle. Cow
punChers at stops along the route in
quired vocifcrously where Teddy
was. Many of the vice presidents
rough riders during the Spanish war
were recruited from this section and
there was much disappointment that
he was net in the party. On the way
to Phoenix the tire of one wheel of the
tender became loose and for the first
time since the journey began. the tele-
grapher with the train was compelled
to climb the telegraph pole to tap the
wire, At Wickenburg, the scene of the
recent gold mine strike, the train was
halted long enough to permit the pre-
sident to receive a visit from the
school children who presented Mrs
Mckinley with cabinet specimens.
The president thanked the children in
Mrs McKinley's behalf and addressed
them briefly.
The accident to the tender delayed
the arrival at Phoenix two hours and
somewhat disaTranged the program
there. Governor Murphy and the ter
ritOrial officers had met the party at
the Congress mine, and accompanied
them back to Phoenix. At the station
the territorial militia, a company of
cowboys or bronchos, with some
friendly Pima and Maricho Indians,
joined in wildly enthusiastic recep-
ton. The party was driven to the
Adams h-tCl for luncheon and after
wards escorted TO the territorial CAPT
tai. where formal exercises took place.
Gov. Murphy delivered an address Of
welcome TO which the president re-
sponded The drive afterwards gave
the president opportunity to see some
interesting ruins end an ancient Aztec
irrigation syotem At the party re-
sumed its journey. The Colorado
river, which is the boundary Of Arizo-
ma, will be crossed at Yuma, and the
party will awake today in California.
Redlands, the first stop, will be
reached ct g.
