JUDGE WELLS BACK FROM
 TRIP TO THE CANYON
(From Saturdays Dailyl

Judge E. W. Wells, one of the Pres colt contingent that was a guest of Governor Sloan in the presidential journey, reached the city yesterday morning from the Grand Canyon, leav- ing the party at Williams. Judge Wells gives an intensely interesting review of the days doings on the rim, in which the distinguished guests participated and thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent attractions of the sublime surroundings.
 In the evening a noteworthy gath ering was assembled at the banquet and in this connection he speaks of the memorable oration delivered by Postmaster General Hitchcock, who was the principal speaker of the eve ming. Hitchcock created a profound impression and his address was some what of a startling nature when he advocated openly and freely the ad- mission of the territory to statehood, candidly. and zealously supporting the movement, and asking President Taft to also become the sponsor of Ari- zona to the good cause. Mir. Hitch cock also informed the many present that in the past four years he had spent his vacation days annually with in Arizona, and he intended to do the same in the next four years, no matter where he was or what posi- tion he was in. His address brought his hearers to their feet and a re- markable demonstration followed when he ceased.
 MT. Hitchcock won the hearts of all and those residing without the territory were won over to the cause he advocated. Judge Wells terms his speech as one of the most convincing and masterly he ever listened to in connection with the issue that is now before the people and that it will have weight in official circles in Washington is admitted by all who were present.
 In the days to come MT. Hitchcock electrified his hearers when he said that he will roll his sleeves up for another star in the flag and that Arizona's admission will be his watch word from the time he reaches the national capital.

HAPPY DAY FOR PRESCOTT.
rFrom Wednesday's DaiiyI

Prescott yesterday experienced what was perhaps the happiest day in the history of this city, for the metropolis of northern Arizona had for more than an hour the nations ruler as it's guest.
 His approach was heralded by the blowing of whistles in the various manufacturing plants in the city. At given signal as the presidential train was nearing this town, all of the whistles were blowing and for several minutes there was a din such as never before had been heard in this city.
 However, pursuant to the request of the general arrangements committee, everything became silent before the presidential train had reached the depot.
 Thousands cheered as the president stepped from the private ear May flower, in which he is travelling, and few minutes later the famous Taft smile became most pronounced as the chief executive acknowledged the salute rendered him by the lads and lassies of the public and parochial schools of this city. The recognition shown them by the president pleased the children immensely and they were not slow in showing their apprecia- tion.
 President Taft in his address was not at all backward in discussing statehood. He came out flat-footedly in favor of the admission of this ter ritory into the union and declared that he would do all in his power to bring about this much desired end.
 That the citizens of Prescott and the visitors from the surrounding towns were keenly alive to events, was evidenced by the hearty cheers which greeted the president all |, through his address and especially on his remarks regarding statehood. His sentiments were heartily eheered and in every possible way the citizens of Prescott showed that they appre ciated his visit to the Queen City of the Southwest.
 All the arrangements that had beer cleverly planned by Chairman Joslir went like clockwork and the guard duty performed by Sheriff Smith and his special deputies, and also by Company E of the national guard deserved eommendation. In fact all the committees from Chairman Robt E. Morrison down, did both ener 1 petie and excellent work

PARTIsANSHIP WAS
 SEEMINGLY ABSENT
From Sundays Daiiy)

While visiting the city yesterday from his mining interests at the Madizelle camp, Secretary of Ari- zcna George U. Young spoke feeling ly and periodically of the generous reception rendered President Taft and party from the moment the executive entered the territory at Yuma until the notable event was closed at the rim of the Grand Canyon.
 From the beginning to the end of this notable occasion, Secretary Young says that partisanship was showed to the background and the spirit of pa triotism was so evident that those firmly tied to partisan beliefs lost their footing and extended the free hand of American fidelity to the great and good cause that this ex- cutive represents. A striking illus tration of the whole-souled welcome that was given President Taft was shown in the fervent and splendid as- sistanee of men not identified with his political views and linked to them were a score of men who are behind some of the heaviest indus trial enterprises in the southwest.
 In the lobby or on the street it was simply a patriotic demonstration of the people to the Amerieanism of the man who presides at the head of the nations destiny, and as each ele- ment was linked to the strong chain of loyalty it was a refreshing spec taele to witness such an inspiring event.
 In speaking of the scenes at the Grand Canyon Thursday night, MT. Young signalizes that closing chapter as one that will go down in the history of the day as the most beau ticul and impressive that has ever taken place within the boundary of Arizona. The same rule was Observ- ed on this memorable evening as pre- vailed in the morning of the wei come and not a sentiment escaped the lips of the many speakers that car ried the least intimation that the spirit of partisanship was entertained or thought of. It was truly an Ari- zona day and it may truthfully and consistently be said 1t was the great est day Arizona ever enjoyed.

DEVELOPMENT WILL BE
 RESUMED ON MINE
(From Saturdays Daily)

In a few days hence the magnifi- cent plant of the Central Arizona Copper company will be in position and the development of that splendid mining proposition will be inaugu- rated under the new order.
 All the machinery is on the ground in position and the only delay that is attending the starting up of the enterprise is the connection of the Arizona Power company, which will furnish the electrical service. This company has a force of men string ing the wire from their sub-station about One-half mile distant, and are nearing the Shyloek mine, where the main works are located.
 J. B. Cleveland, the superintendent of this company says that all de- partments will be put under headway at the same time and an additional force of miners employed. The plan of development outlined is to sink the main shaft to a depth of 1000 feet and while this work is going on erosseutting and drifting will follow.
 The property is now equipped with a modern plant for development and with it an attractive mineral eOndi- tion is evident to support any ex- penditure that may be placed upon the property. This company is one of the mining propositions in this field that has withstood the panieky times and with modern equipment now on hand an era before it that in mining circles is regarded as most flattering.

PRESCOTT PLEASED PRESIDENTS PARTY
(From Saturdays Daily)

If there are any skepties running around loose that believe that Pres colt, Arizona, is not on the map of the presidents s itinerary they should have been present at the Grand Can yon last Thursday and heard the comment of the people of the Taft party.
 Arrivals from that point yesterday say that Assistant Private Secretary Meschler to the president, frankly admitted that so far as the Arizona journey was to be considered and rated in enthusiasm, perfect detail in arrangement, and thoroughly western in hospitality, the Mile High city was at the top of the Arizona column.
 The city was awarded the laurel leaf, in other words, and this was the sentiment of all. Several promi- nent Phoenicians were free to admit it as well and the absence of num- bers was characterized as of no mo- ment when other matters were to be taken into consideration.
 In making the assertion that MT: Mesehler did, he was evidently speak ing for the president and while the latter cannot personally be quoted on incidental lines of favOritism in places visited, it is a pleasant matter, how ever, for the city to know that he was pronounced in saying that it was one of the liveliest hours he had yet experienced and the ground GOV cred was the most extensive in en- tertainment and pleasure that had vet faced him. The executive went far in other ways, by saying that the air was exhilerating and nOtwith- standing the elevation it was refresh ! ing and enjoyable, compared to the 1 desert stretches that he passed even on entering the territory.
 Prescott but sustained its prover' bial name of good fellowship in enter taining the executive. Its citizenship is so periodically imbedded in the long chain or generous and consider ate fellowship that after all it is but a characteristic of the people who make up its cosmopolitan life that only eements firmly and on an occasion like the Taft reception, the old rule was followed out and prae ticed because the people do not know how to deviate from it, whenever any public event is on the boards.

(From Tuesdays Haily)

Connor in 1866 and the considerations was nothing more nor less than an army six-shooter.
 MT. COnnor, since the death a few days ago of Sam c. Miller, is the sole survivor of the Walker party. A revolver in those days that had six chambers was most valuable to the American that ten times it's weight in gold and the deal was closed i'm mediately for that season by Mr. Connor while the two were coming to Prescott.
 MT. Lee says that he regretted lake of water looked good to him and yesterday he said with a signifi- cant smile that he was glad of the transaction as it was the only asset left of the pioneer era that he did not lose or the Apache had not got away with. .-.,..-
 In another instance of his long citizenship Mir. Lee is conspicuous figure, that of his political bearing He was one of the first men in this section of Arizona to advocate the cause of Republieanism and the or ganization of those principles into a body. From that early day he has remained steadfast to the party and while a principal of the splendid or oanizatiou that is now universally in existence throughout the territory, he is pleased to think that he was among the first to start the ball rolling, even if his party never ex- tended him recognition.
 MT. Lee says he will go to Garth age, Mo, wheres his brother, Ii. M. Lee, resides. After visit there he will go to Joplin to see Mrs. Fred WiIber, another relative. Oklahoma win next be visited, where his nep- hews, Arthur and Fremont Lee, are living. He win then make dash for the old home at Troy, Ohio, where his brothers, David L. and George F.. Lee, are living, at which city Mir Lee will remain indefinitely.
 He is followed by the best of wishes from a host of friends and the county loses an upright and pro gressive citizen.

J. H. Lee, one of the sterling and popular pioneers of Arizona of the 1865 period, leaves Prescott this morn ing for an indefinite trip to his for mer home in Ohio and other eastern points, which he has not visited in over a quarter of a century.
 The departure of this worthy man is an interesting one in pioneer an nals and in several respects it is also one in which the thrilling days of the past are recalled and in which his personality is strikingly brought to the surface again. He is prominent ly known Tn this section through his long years of ownership of the famous American ranch, a valuable strip of ground that lies at the foot of Gran ite mountain, nine miles from Pres colt.
 For over forty-three years he has occupied that domain constantly and today it is the resort of pleasure seekers, through the natural creation of a fine lake of water and as well it is utilized for agricultural pur- poses. In the early days of staging this particular place was the center of accommodations for all travel to and from Prescott and incidentally speak ing it was the beginning of the zone where the Apache ruled the day.
 MT. Lee in those Indian days had his home burned to the ground twice but in each instance he triumphed uy rebuilding the structure. He has had his animals run off and his crops destroyed, passing through a fiery furnace of the red mans hatred and to cap the climax has on many ocea- sions had~narrow escapes from death at their hands.
 His tales of the past are thrill ing and in the long chapter of the Apache day, he has figured in more , than thirty-five instances of barying men who fell at their hands. One interesting chapter in this old land mark is not generally known. It is that of the original purchase of this same ground that MT. Lee has re- tained for all these years. He says that he secured the place from Dan
