 made his hoDe ia Prescott.
 A German by birfh, Mr KhrgnberE DOS sessed many of ths marked traits of that na- ;ign. He wzs cautious iu 'he extreme, and a man of acknowledged integrity He was
 both scientific and practical; careful and
 accomplished student of geology, uineFslo,gy and raetalluTzy, and high authority on all matters relating to tue science of mining.
 His reports, never in the least oyerdraVu. and based gpon an excellent Judgment and thorough investigatiq., were everyWhere re- eeived as worthy Of entire confidence: indeed.
 to have Ehrenberg speak well Of a mine was
 to establish its repu,ation at once. A writer, be was clear and precise, and hls con
 tribations to the various mining journals of the country rould make a valuable volume.
 As pioneer ke w&s fearless and enthusiastic
 He loved the frontier, and was never so happy as when rambling among the wild hills Of Arizona, eagerly examining their varied. rich metallic formations. As citizen be was un- obtrasive, industrious, progressive and patri- otic- Repeatedly offered office, he persis;sutly refused to accept it, although in all that per. taiDed to the welfare of society be had the iiYeiiest e neern. Not oaiy throughout the Territory, and the Union, will his loss be sirl- oerely mOurned, but far beyond our borders, in the scientific circles of Europe, will bis un- timely death be dep.ored by many who held his character and services in hearty appre- citation. Our Pioneer and Historical Societies, of which he was respected member, and all our people, should pay the highest hOnors to bis memory, for to few men belongs the credit ofhaying sointelligently and zealoasly labored to advance the best interests of Arizona.
