gallon tank which arrived and was

Mr.. Morris has now fourteen men
on his pay rool, and will increase
the force when his mill starts up.
He is introducing a new feature
among his employees, making them
sign an agreement exempting him
from all blame in case of accidents
in the mine. He carefully instructs
his men to use every possible pre-
caution and furnishes material for
use, which if nsed by them makes
an underground accident almost inn
possible
The mill will start up in the
course of a week or so, and he is
most sanguine as to results, of
which he is richly deserving, having
spent his means and time for some
years in developing the mine

prospects, and from which Dory

LATE EDITORIALS.
MARCUS A. SMITH.
SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1895

On Monday last the 4th instant
at IL o'clock noon, Hon. Marcus
A. Smith closed his labors as our
public servant. On the 4th day of
March, 1887, he began his career at
Washington City as the Delegate
from Arizona, and for eight con-
secutive years he has borne upon
his shoulders the anxieties,t the cares
the burdens and the criticisms that
fall to the lot Of one who assumes
the responsibilities of public SER
vice. For y great number of years
he was the first of his party elected
from Arizona. He began his SER
vice whilea young man, and during
all his service no public act has been
performed or omitted by him in the
discharge of his official duties that
was not worthy ofa public servant.
All who know him well, and all
who are acquainted with the univer-
sal-esteem in which he has been held
among his congressional colleagues
will acknowledge that Arizona has
been more fortunate in the selection
of her Representative in the person
of Marcus A. Smith than many
other territories. The most poplar
ofterritorial Delegates labors under
grievious disadvantages that do not
fall to those elected from the States,
but with all these disadvantages
before him, Marcus A. Smith has
labored earnestly and increasingly
for Arizona's interests. The early
passage of the Statehood bill by the
House of Representatives, before
the holiday recess of one year ago,
was a fitting testimonial to the re-
gard for him rendered by his fellow
members. That it failed to pass
the Senate during the many sue
ceeding months, was through no
lack of energy, watchfulness vigil
ance or effort upon his part. In re-
firing to private life, Marcus A.
Smith wears all the honors that can
come to a public servant in the dis
charge ofofficial duty faithfully per-
formed.

in all the silver producing states of
