(From Wednesdays Daily.)

a renewed expression of my warm regard and esteem to Edward: whose energy and ability have con- tributed so materially to Yavapai Clubs success May he live long and prosper and may his pathway henceforth through life be strewr with roses"
 PAUL BURKS.
 Something substantial was prom ised in the wire of LeRoy Anderson as may be seen in the following:
 Yavapai Club.
 Prescott, Arizona.
 Here's health and success to Ed wards. Am awfully sorry I cannot be with you in person, but my very best wishes are with you. May all the good things of this life attend you and yours wherever you may go, and may the best years that you have ever seen be the worst that are yet to come. This is your au- thority to sign a check for me for good round of drinks for the gang.
 LEROY ANDERSON.
 John Mason Ross echoed the feeling of all present in classic sol iloquy over the wire from Bisbee:
 "The club without Edwards will be Hamlet with Hamlet left out. It will be hard to spare him even for several months. Suggest we supply him with limited letter of credit to cover present expense, not report able 10 his family, his itemized ac- count to be subject to confidential censorship as 10 propriety by com mittee consisting of Cheverton. Heap and Anderson. Very sorry cannot be present. There are several harsh things I should like to say to him to provoke his infinite jest and most excellent fancy, but I do not enjoy a personal telegraph frank.
 JOHN MASON ROSS"
 The wires still throbbed. This time, the message was from a we'll remembered Yavapain, J. H. Elm inert. His telegram was dated from San Francisco:
 Sorry l cannot be with you to- night and take one-two-three and assist in wishing God-speed, good luck and prosperity to one of the best fellows.
 What's that you said2 A drink on me? Sure! And the best wish es to you all!
 J. H. EMMERT."
 Mir Drake made a few remarks, not in condolence or in sororw or regret. "We know Edwards to be man free born, of lawful age, who knows his own business. If he feels that his interests elsewhere are brighter, it is up to us to con gratulate him. We can only wish him God-speed and hope he will pack his blankets and come again. All kinds of happiness to him i'll his California home" In presenting the watch, MT. T. c. Norris addressed Mir Edwards as follows:
 MT. President, Fellow Members, and Guests of the Yavapai Club:
 Perhaps no member of this Club, or of the society of Prescott, has been more directly and more indi- vidually identified with its upbuild ing and genuine spirit of good-fel lowship than A. w. Edwards.
 The refinement of his nature IS so strong and true that he has en- deared himself to us individually and as a valued citizen of our com munity. Sometimes I have thought that in the hilarious open spirit of the West we may have allowed some of the more subtle refinements of his character to pass by us unnotic- ed-or at least without comment.
 Without any extended remarks I have here a small token as a plain expression of the esteem of some of your friends which I am directed to present to you, MT. Edwards, with the love and regard of those who know you best I trust this watch will as faithfully keep and record the time in the future, by which you may discharge your ob- legations with the same unerring fidelity and accuracy as you have done, to our knowledge, in the past With this little give 1 desire to of fer the following Toast:
 Here's to the four hinges of friendship. Lying. Stealing Swear
