MARCUS DAILY.

Salt Lake Tribune: The death Of
Marcus Daily is a personal sorrow. He
had enemies. for he was aggressive, i'm
pulsive and. of late years. sometimes
little arrogant in his ways, ana with
all was hot tempered. and sometimes
clashed with men. But his was most
loyal and royal soul, his whole nature
was masterful and high and manly,
while his heart was great enough to
take in the needs of all those around
him.
There will be mourning for him In
many a cabin in the big hills and out
on the desert. for his pathway was COW
cred with blessings which no one save
the recipients knew of. He could be
as commanding as any one, but. like
the Master. he went about doing good
He was brave enough to dare the I'M
possible. he could when necessary beard
any kind of lion in his den, but ne
kept his heart warm and his sympa-
thies always on the alert.
AS a man of affairs he was master.
He came to this country as an unlet-
tered l0u, he nau but HIS WA 'SN e.A>>
his hands for capital, those and brain
which, had he been captured by saw
age tribe would have made him chief
in month.
He learned the business OF mining in
the great Comstock school; he learned
from the great book of nature as its
leaves were turned by the pick and drill,
many of the secrets of how ore bodies
are formed and hidden away in the
/ depths. Then, after acquiring these
/ lessons, he went out to take by con-
| quest the irresponsive hills and to COM
! pei them to pay him an indemnity. He
mined here in Utah, then went to Mon
tana He watched the unfoldings In
the deeps of Butte. and finally decided
that the Anaconda was to be one of
the worlds great mines, and purchased
it. When the grade of the ore fell so
low that it could not be protitably
worked with the machinery then in use,
Mr.. Daily reasoned that as many gold
mine will not pay with five stamps.
but will with a hundred. the thing to
do was to apply machinery which with
the same attention would do five or ten
times as much work, and thenceforth
the great enterprise progressed until the
! Anaconda became world-famed and its
product made pronounced factor in
the copper market of the world. The
work that he performed in the eighteer
years in which he had the handling OF
the vast property was altogether splen-
did.
A year ago he drew away from the
active management and hoped for some
rest. But really his life was worn out
He had carried the burdens of three OF
four men, and his career was ended.
Others will tell of his business tri'
umphs, how he came penniless lac
and so applied himself that he became
a little providence to thousands ant
made for himself standing among thu
worlds great financiers, but for us, w
; prefer to think of the heart and tn
soul of the man, which would boil
have been high and tender and tru
had no fortune ever come to him. H
was one Of million among men. H
was most loved in his own home, an
in that home today the sorrow is in
| consolable.
The inmates are not thinking of tn
masterful business man, but of the low
ing husband and father that has bee
called away, and, despite their fortune
= they are so poor that their condition i
, pitiable.
. The life of Marcus DAILY is a Shinin
example of what brave and true ma
can accomplish in this blessed land {
= ours; the spectacle of his family sittin
n in their helpless grief is a reminde

greatest in his own home, and the fin;
r, lesson is, that what men have to {
= they must do at once, for in litt
II time the night comes and the mournel
= go about the streets.
