 Af.er a most strenuous week of en- tertainment and sight seeing, the Fl PAso delegation found itself in Clifton on Thursday evening, surrounded by a committee of energetic gentlemen, composed of the life, energy and enter prise of this most energetic camp. A reception committee composed of Alex Veitch, T. T Thompson, A. G. smith, E H. Franz. c. w. Beck, Ben CraW- ford and Garnett King met the train on arrival at Clifton, and escorted them to the public library, in front of which ConchO and his band discoursed some especially fine music.
 Later the party was conducted across the "Wabby" bridge and thence to several of the principal places Of interest, anif subsequently to the Cliff ton hotel. ip which a banquet was to be held. Under the personal super vision of My. Jake Abrams, the genial proprietor. the entire party was con slucfed tu the spacious dining room where 8. series of tables had been pre- viously laid and presided over by Hon. MI Egan, counsel of the Arizona Cop per company The party was soon seated, each of the visitors being Hanked by a resident of Clifton or an official of tbe company.
 Hospitality may exist in many places. Never in the history of any mining camp was it ever eXcelled than such as existed at the benquet at Clifton. The genial wit and oratory which prevailed emanating from the chair itself, as the honorable judge poured his whole soul of genuine man. hood, and his enthusiastic welcome of the gentlemen from Fl Paso, will never be forgotten by the merchants from the gateway of the west"
