ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CARR.
Hon. u. P. Carr was born at Bethel,
Clermont county, Ohio, fifty years ago.
He had the advantages of liberal edu-
cation, especially as an accountant and
mathematician. In 1867 Mr.. Carr re-
moved to Arizona and has since resided
in the Rocky mountain region and on the
Pacific slope, having not been east of
Denver since 1867 He has followed the
occupation of mining, in which he is now
engaged at Pinos Altos in Grant county,
but has at times been employed as an ac-
couutant and as editor of newspapers
and also engaged in surveying. Mr.. Carr
came to New Mexico in 1875, and was ap-
pointed United States mineral deputy
surveyor for Grant county in 1876, and
The records of that county bear testimony
to the value of his work in that capacity.
For several years thereafter Mr.. Carr fol-
lowed the life of mining prospector in
Arizona and New Mexico, and after a
pros pecting trip of 1900 miles, occupy
ing several months in 1881, he settled in
Colorado, in which state in 1882, he and
Miss Kate B. Walter, of st. Louis, Mo-,
were united in marriage, and his wife, who
is universal favorite, is spending the
winter in Santa Fe with her husband.
Mr.. Carr returned to Grant county in
1886 and again engaged in mining, since
which time he has assisted greatly in
making the history of that county.
Mr.. Carr has not held any Important
public positions, but as justice of the
peace he attracted the attention of the
people and his services were recognized
by the commissioners of his county by a
vote of thanks. Two years ago Mr.. Carr
was the Republican nominee for repre-
sentative from the county of Grant, but
was defeated by only thirteen majority,
for his Democratic opponent, DR.. Stovall.
Receiving his party nomination again, ne
was elected last fall by plurality of 100.

taken much interest in legislation in be-
half of workingmen, being known all
over the territory as champion of the
cause of labor. In the present house Mr..
