manner. They were received with open arms by the people of Clifton who did what they could in the short time at hand to introduce them to Clifton and surroundings.
 The following taken from the Fl Paso Herald will give the reader an excellent idea of the trip of the visit ors through this district as well as their ideas and impressions of Clifton. It says:
 Last night the visitors spent in Cliff ton, the home of the Arizona and the shannon Copper Companies. While it was dark when they got there, Cliff ton is as light by night as it is by day, and all the people were at the station to meet the train. Electric lights are everywhere and Clifton somehow or other always has the ar- pearance of the ordinary town on a carnival night SO there was something doing all the time.
 After a parade to the Clifton hotel and a concert by the band in the bann stand in front, the Cliftonites escorted f dance. The women folk of Clifton were present in large numbers and the visitors were served with delici- ous refreshments. The evening was most enjoyable for the visitors and home folk alike. The 22nd infantry band furnished the music for the big dance.
 | faI, ael, of the Arizona Copper Company, presided over the ceremonies preced- ing the dance. He introduced Dell M. Potter, Arizona's chief good roads booster, who welcomed the Ell Paso- ans. H. D. Slater. editor of the Fl Paso Herald, responded on behalf of the visitors, and Eugene Harris then presented the key to the city which MT. Carmichael accepted on behalf of the Cliftonites. The Clifton people were exceedingly cordial in their re- ception to the El Pasoans, and the leading families of the city were pres ent at the dance and exerted them selves to make the visitors feel that they were welcome. The Fl Paso- ans were particularly pleased at the fine welcome and the good feeling which they found.
 l The Cliftonites expressed particular interest in the Os-Aple Jubilee and ai engagements were set under way to se- cure a special train to take at least T hundred people to Ell Paso for the cele- bration.
 Chas. Moss and bride, of Fl Paso, met the Fl Pasoans at Clifton and participated with them in the festivi- ties of the evening.
 | Several of the Cliftonites accom- panied the Fl Pasoans to Morenci to- day, including MT. Carmichael and w. B. Kelly, editor of the Clifton Cop per Era, and leading citizens of tha various cities visited are being pick ed up at the different stops and taken along from place to place by the ex- cursionists who are thus getting bet ter acquainted with their hosts. 1 Coming out of Clifton to Guthrie, the excursionists stopped at the new smeIter site of the Arizona Copper company, two miles out of Clifton, ,an1 had a view of the big new plant. which will cost $2,0OO,OOO when con- pleted a year hence, and covers 20 9, res. In this plant the Fl Pasoans got an idea of the value of such cities as Clifton to the bigger enterprises of Fl Paso. The Fl Paso cement plant is furnishing all the cement for the fo,l;- dations and already 13,0OO barrels of the product have been used. Fl Paso brick are also being used in the con- struction of the buildings, and the great 900 foot smoke stack, and Fl Paso firms are supplying the lime.
