 T will have had the unusual ex- perience of attending outdoor Masonic demonstrations on the mOuntaintop, one under the ground in the depths of mine, and now this last and I be- lieVe the most impressive of al in the Grand Canyon. I have been a Mason fifty-seven years, taking my degrees with Ashley Lodge No. 75. in 1866. I demitted and joined the Phoenix Lodge No. 36 in 1868, where I held my membership until I came to Arizona in 1889. Since then I have become a member of all the Mosonic branches in Masonry.
 "On November 9, 1897, I attended the conclave of the Grand Command cry of Arizona held in Bisbee. This conclave was held in a cave in the Copper Queen mine. To enter this the sir knights descended a shaft 300 feet, then marched through a tunnel 300 feet to the cave, which had been prepared for their coming by Sir Knights Ben and D. l.. Williams the whole place was lighted by electricity. It was a scenic effect never to be forgotten by any templar present.
 Keeping up my Masonic work in Arizona until June, 1903, I made a visit to my old home in Canada, and while there was invited to attend session of Golden Rule Lodge No. 5, under the jurisdiction of the province of Quebec, 1t the top of 'Owrs Head on the shore of Lake MemphrymagOg This lodge has a charter privilege to make this annual pilgrimage. At this time the second degree was conferred upon a candidate Shortly after a member of the lodge introduced a charming lady who had climbed the mountain with several other ladies, and the couple were married by the lodge chaplain, who was a minister.
 These unusual features in Mason ic work remind the student of the history of the order, of the early struggles, when meetings were held in caverns. in the lowest wales and on the highest mountains. AntiCipat- ing the pleasure of the coming meet ing of Arizona Lodge No. in the only grand canyon in the world, and in witnessing the conferring of the symbolic degrees of masonry in as near it's ancient form, will be a pleasure and an honor not received by many members of this mystic or der"
