Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1902-05-14

expressing his appreciation and thanks of the hearty welcome ac- corded him by the representative of the Prescott public schools. Had the party arrived hele on any other day except Sunday, it would have been arranged that the pupils of the Pres colt High school would have met the train in a body and extended the glad hand to the representative of Cincinnati's High school.
 Photographer Humphreys took a picture of the group while the pres entation was in progress and it will be used by the Cincinnati Post, with other pictures taken, in illustrating the story of the trip.
 The party, after the formal vel come and presentation was taken in carriages and driven about the town, and the car was then attached to the north bound train and started on its return trip. A side trip was taken last evening from Williams to the Grand canyon and the return to Will liams made today in time to connect with the regular eastbound train, the trip from Williams being continuous to the end of the journey. The Chi cago section of the party will reach home on Thursday and those from Cincinnati on Friday.
 The only regret heard from any of the party was that their stay was not longer in Arizona, having seen so much to interest them and having seen so many things different from what they expected and so much more favorable.
 A feature of the excursion was an immense banner strung along the en- tire length of the car on each side on which was printed in large letters "Cincinnati Excursion to McCabe Extension NJ. & NJ. Co.'S Gold Mines, McCabe, Arizona. This attracted great attention all along the route and set people to talking about Ari- zona and was the subject of items in the newspapers published along the route.
 The Journal-Miner is under special obligations to Donald Dunbar, the very able and genial representative of the Cincinnati Post for courtesies eI- tended and information given of the trip from Cincinnati to P. & E. June ton, where the Journal Miner repre- joined the party.
 On the trip between Prescott and Ash Fork on Sunday, a committee was selected by the excursionists to prepare an expression of their appre- citation of the courtesies extended by Judge Ling and they reported the following:
 Life's span of pleasure e-those days that remain a feast of memory that the crowded past. the busy present, nor the unfolding cf the future can are all too short.
 Their bestowal by inc hand of cour- l ,e,y i7 the sweetest. When courtesy, | warm hospitality, unboundei gener- | osity and thoughtful consideration are combined 6y man in the interest of | his fellow mea aud women he becomes | deserving of a peerage in the hearts | of those upon whom his hest qualities 1 have been layished. All of this and . more has been done for us by Judge ! Reese NJ. Ling. Arizona can not i boast an adopted son of warmer heart | Jr host of finer sentiment. We have enjoyed the finest . brand of Arizona courtesy and | to its fullest measure on this trip i which will be memorable to us all.
 That Arizonans may know that We i are mt unappreciative, we desire the Juurnal-Miner to ex press to Judge Ling our thanks.
 The two short words seem 10 us woefully inadequate, bat Judge We mean 'em. : Signed by
